Ok, a lot going on in this post but bare with me. I have the first overall pick after a nice trade late in the season. I want to upgrade some part of my team in our free-agent pickup and rookie draft. I will list my team below, looking for some thoughts from the peanut gallery.

Standard scoring, 6 pts per TD, 1 pt per 10 yds... TEs are considered WRs.
Starting requirements: 1 QB / 2 RB / 3 WR / 1 PK / 1 DT / 2 DE / 2 LB / 3 CB-S/ 1 DEF

Campbell, Jason WAS QB
Cutler, Jay CHI QB
Hasselbeck, Matt SEA QB

Gore, Frank SFO RB
Moreno, Knowshon DEN RB
Peterson, Adrian MIN RB
Taylor, Chester MIN RB
Wells, Chris ARI RB

Bowe, Dwayne KCC WR
Colston, Marques NOS WR
Jackson, Vincent SDC WR
Owens, Terrell BUF WR
White, Roddy ATL WR
Gates, Antonio SDC TE

Tynes, Lawrence NYG PK

Mebane, Brandon SEA DT
Raji, B.J. GBP DT

Jackson, Lawrence SEA DE
Kiwanuka, Mathias NYG DE

Bulluck, Keith TEN LB
Dumervil, Elvis DEN LB
Howard, Thomas OAK LB
Morrison, Kirk OAK LB

Cox, Derek JAC CB (R)
Joseph, Johnathan CIN CB
Branch, Tyvon OAK S

Colts, Indianapolis IND Def

A couple of thoughts/concerns. I need 1 DEF/ 2 CB-S/ 1 LB/ 2 DE/ 1 PK during the off season. With that in mind, here are some notables that will be up in free-agency.

RBs
Cedric Benson
Kevin Smith
Jerome Harrison

QBs
Eli Manning
Matt Cassel

WRs
Derrick Mason
Donald Driver

CB-S
Charles Woodson
Bernard Pollard

PKs
Gostowski
Feely
Bironas

My plan as of now was to take either Spiller or Bryant with the number one over all. None of the QBs excited me this coming draft and I could use a nice weapon to stash on my bench. A couple of concerns on my team are pretty obvious, lack of a consistent back up QB (Cutler being my starter) another thing that hurts is the amount of talent I have at the RB and WR positions. I have the issue with picking the wrong person... possibly making a trade for a stud IDP player with one of my skill positions? Any comments, questions, concerns are welcomed.

Wasn't really late in the season, it was one week before Brown went down, which I felt bad about for a quick second then realized I just got a steal.
 
in idp, i really like the steady tackle production of ss and mlb . . . pollard would probably do better than 6 pts a week . . . depending on your bench needs, i'd also go for benson and driver . . . provided he gets some time, cutler will have the opportunity to succeed in martz's system . . . ;)

7-6 :sadbanana:

an update. I didn't win any bids for the players I wanted. I had a limited amount of funds and most of the players I wanted went for too much.

There are some more notables sitting on the free agency. I will have to wait until we have our rookie draft before I have new funds to bid on free agency. a couple of notables...

White, LenDale TEN RB (Would be a nice pickup if he gets traded...)
Bush, Michael OAK RB

Moss, Santana WAS WR
Bryant, Antonio TBB WR
Bennett, Earl CHI WR
Morgan, Josh SFO WR

Johnson, Charles CAR DE (should be starting in place of peppers...)

Wimbley, Kamerion CLE LB (could be a nice pickup, should be starting in oakland and might make a splash in that defense.)
