Much appreciated for my 12 team draft out of the 12 hole.

2. (13) Frank Gore
3. (36) Terrell Owens
4. (37) Wes Welker
5. (60) Joseph Addai
6. (61) Carson Palmer
7. (84) Devin Hester
8. (85) Donald Brown
9. (108) Dustin Keller
10. (109) Ray Rice
11. (132) David Garrard
12. (133) Steve Smith
13. (156) Earnest Graham
14. (157) Aaron Kampman
15. (180) Mason Crosby
16. (181) Bob Sanders

Was Moss available when you took Gore? I would have drafted him instead but I love your starting 2 RBs.

Was this a PPR league? That could explain why you took Welker so high.

I don't like TO that early. I don't like Addai that early... although you paired him with Donald Brown which was very smart. Ray Rice was a great value.

Your WRs are very lacking IMO

I also like the Gore/Slaton tandem and I also agree that your WRs are weak.

Rice @ 10 was a boon.

Got a feeling you'll be dealing off Gore/Slaton/Rice for a WR before mid-season.

NOT A PPR.

agreed WRs are def weak, but Andre Johnson and Fitz were taken before my 12-13 turn. TO is getting old, but at least he is in a contract year and welker should help bring stability. I feel like drafting out of the 12 spot requires a high risk/high reward strategy (hence the Palmer, hester, rice picks). I also, feel that RB's are a commodity in this league and like cctekguy said I'll probably deal one for a WR. Btw this draft was done a few weeks ago, which is why I got Rice in the tenth (McCLain went 8th). I have had my eye on Rice a while and hope he gets the lions share this year.

 

[cctekguy]

I SWEAR I saw McNabb as your QB @ #6.



...I need a drink.

 

[tmaschm]

Also, this league gives points for Special teams TDs (Hester)

 

[derringer007]

Without going into specifics as they have already been covered, i gave you a (B) for your RBs and you can trade for another WR. with a couple of them.

LMAO!

QB: Carson Palmer, David Garrard

Garrard is a steady QB2. Palmer SHOULD be fine, but the injury kinda concerns me. Id like to know what other QB was available when you took him.

RB: Steve Slaton, Frank Gore, Joseph Addai, Donald Brown, Ray Rice, Earnest Graham

I would have handcuffed Gore with Coffee. Ray Rice was a great pick. Slaton needs to grab some goal line work. I like this group MUCH better if this was PPR, but it is a very serviceable unit.

WR: Terrell Owens, Wes Welker, Devin Hester, Steve Smith

This WR corps flat out blows. Welker's value is in PPR, other wise last year you got a 1000 yard WR with 3 scores. TO should be about what he always is. A trade needs to be made to bolster this group.

TE: Dustin Keller
PK: Mason Crosby
DL: Aaron Kampmann
DB: Bob Sandes

Keller is good. Crosby might be solid gold if this offense scores like I think it will. I think another DB would be better than Sanders given his injury history. Kampmann will do good for you.

Overall I give this a C because of the questions at QB1, the horror at WR, and the PPR flavor of your RBs in a NONPPR league.

Thanks for posting everybody.

Sgt John: Thanks for the advice. I would have handcuffed Coffee but we have an Alabama fan in our league so he got taken early. Also, I value Welker closer to '07 value (1175yds 8TDs). So maybe he'll get 1100 and 6TDs?
