What a jerk! TO was still around at 16?!?!

Well... i really like your team. Aside from ur QBs (i HATE mcnabb) you look fairly solid. I too made the mcfadden gamble, breaking my own "no raiders" rule.

I have the same rule, but I stuck to mine.

At least you followed the rule of taking Defense in the 2nd to last round, and a kicker last. It kills me the number of people who draft either before then. The difference between the #1 and #10 defenses last year was less than 2 points per week, while the difference between #1 and #10 kickers was less than 1 I believe (and extremely random from week to week).

But yeah, overall you did allright. Addai at #5 is pretty much exactly where he's going in every league this year. TO at #16 is good value. I'd be a little weary of taking Houshmandzadeh this year in the 3rd round. I loved him last year on 2 of my teams, but I have a feeling the Bengals offense is going to be a complete mess this year. McFadden is going to be your big x factor. If he performs, you could be in good shape. If not, well, good luck with that.

Don't understand waiting until the 8th pick for a QB, yet drafting 4 WR before him

If you can't draft Brady/Romo/Manning everybody else is about the same so you might as well snatch up some RB/WRs and take what QB is left available. I really like what you did on the draft. Can't believe TO was left to 16th

There are a ton of good QBs in the NFL. If you don't draft one of the top 3-4 however, it's a waste of a pick to draft the others right away as you can get more points out of the WR before some of the other QBs.

8th pick is a bit long to wait for a QB, however it might have been how the draft went with his group...WRs and RB always tend to go well before most QBs.

Not to sure about your QB picks. Though I think Favre is going to be a "sleeper" this year, along with all the Jets wideouts.

Love Santonio, love TO, like TJ. Hell, I just love the WR position this year.
Addai is a solid pick. Many think he won't have as good a year as 2007, but I don't believe that. He should be solid.
This is LenDale's year, not last year like most were leaning towards.

My plan was to draft the best available wrs and rbs with my first 6-7 picks. Wr dominated this league last year. I am worry about my rbs core tho...
