12 total teams. Your team looks pretty good too.

P.S. You mean the Welker or Walker pick?

I mean Walker. I would definitely look at replacing him. Im sure if you check the waiver wire there are still some good options out there. Walker is just terrible. What pick did you have? I had #2 overall, so my strategy of going RB-WR-WR-RB-QB couldnt have worked out any better. By taking AP #2, and the way everyone else drafted, I wanted to get 2 stud WR since I already had a stud RB, and since there are alot less stud WR than RB, I really needed to take advantage. I knew I would still be able to get a good #2 RB in the 4th round and I was surprised Graham was still on the board. Alot of the QBs had gone early, so I really needed to get one in round 5, and luckily a QB like McNabb was still there. I was really suprised that I could get my lineup as loaded as I did in a 12 team league, but when some people reach for players, it really helps you out.

When did you draft C. Johnson? I really wanted to draft him, but someone grabbed him early. He is going to have a monster year, and so is Roy Williams. He is in a contract year and those are always the biggest years. He is the other I wanted but couldnt get. After I took Colston and Fitz, I am very happy to have gotten Crayton as my #3. He is the #2 WR in Dallas, but you'd be surprised how many people dont realize the depth of teams at positions. Once they see the top guy go, they just ignore the team. Jackson is going to be the #1 WR in Philly and has had a great preseason, and I got him with the 16th pick, the very last one, I couldnt believe it. Even though he is only a rookie, he has already shown he is the real deal. People took Reggie Brown over him. For any rookies, it pays to do your homework and know the injuries. I could not be happier with how my draft went.

I had #4 overall. Why so hard on Javon? He IS the Raiders #1 WR right?

6th round, I was pleased.

EDIT: Every player I posted was drafted in that order for 15 rounds.

wes welker and mcfadden are a pretty weak 2nd and 3rd pick

They are good picks, but yes I agree, they were taking too early.

dolphinkev · 08-25-2008, 02:21 PM

welker is only a good pick that early if you get a point per reception other than that too soon.

beselfish · 08-25-2008, 03:46 PM

I agree with others regarding picks 2 and 3. Assuming standard FF scoring, you put yourself behind the 8 ball by taking Welker and Mcfadden so early. Good pick with Westbrook but your first WR needs to be someone like ocho-cinco or Braylen Reggie Wayne. Welker is at best a number 2 WR.

If you insisted on getting a no. 2 RB in 3rd round someone like Maroney, B. Jacobs or L. White should've been there and would've been better value. McFadden may have a good season but it's just too much of a gamble to take him so early. If you done it this way, you probably would've ended up with McFadden anyway in round 5 or 6.
