Had my two drafts:

QB:  Rivers, Cutler
RB:  Turner, P. Thomas, LJ, T. Jones
WR: S. Holmes, Holt, Chambers, Bess
TE:  Shockey
K:   Vinatieri
DEF: Bears, Panthers

QB:  Favre, Delhomee
RB:  D. Williams, Westbrook, K. Smith, T. Jones
WR: Colston, B. Edwards, Coles, Avery
TE: V. Davis
K:    Elam
DEF: Ravens

I guess these turned out okay.  Not crazy about Favre and Delhomme as my QBs.  Stayed away from the strategy all of the "experts" talked about (taking WRs early).

good running backs on your 2nd draft maybe you can trade farve mid season just before his old ass starts going down hill 

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Did much better in the second draft:

QB: Tom Brady
RB: Marion barber
RB: Kevin Smith
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: Wes Welker
WR: Hines Ward
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Gostkowski
DST: Ravens(of course!)

Thinking about starting Berrian over Ward in week one because of his speed and big play potential.

Bench:

Flacco
Eli
Mcgahee
F. Jackson
Edgerrin James
Choice
Maclin
Berrian
Chambers
Heap
Cardinals DST

Hopefully he will blow up the first few games so I can trade him.  

My kid just had her draft and wound up with:

QB:  Brady, Favre
RB:  Grant, LJ, T. Jones, Moreno
WR: Moss, D. Jackson, Holt, Chambers, Bess
TE:  Winslow
K:  Kaeding
DEF: Giants

That's a nice draft

[2ND COMING]

beach, your daughter plays ff?

strange. awesome but strange.

[Dos Equis]

Yeah.  She didn't follow the Faulk Rule like me.  She'll probably have a better season than me too.   

[Dos Equis]

Not really strange if you think about it.  Lots of female football fans.  I have females in my league almost every year. 

[2ND COMING]

its not strange that women are in to the nfl, its strange because shes your daughter and im guessing shes in her teens, thats rare. Correct me if im wrong

She's young.    All of my daughters are into football.  And Laker basketball.  It's not like they had a choice.

VERY COOL IMHO

nothing like a chick who is honestly into football and not just acting like it b/c guys like football...

I have 2 chicks in my 1st league this is the first season for them in our league but we will see...

beach your daughter seems like she got a good draft iono about grant i see his season going mediocre but overall looks pretty solid.

could do without the laker basketball 

[Grape Ape]

Someone in my league drafted the Steelers D in the FIFTH round this year, and other followed by grabbing the Giants and Ravens.   Never seen that before.

I'm not sure about my team - 11th pick.

Romo, Hasselback

C Jones, P Thomas, M Lynch, Julius Jones

Moss, Roy Williams, E Royal, L Moore, S Smith

Shiancoe

C Brown K

Pats.  Then they cut Seymour.

[body88]

Grape Ape, have faith in Brace, Greene, Prior and Adams.  The pats d was top ten last year, and I think it will be again this year. Warren and Wilfork are BEASTS.  They are very young in the secondary, which could be tough over the first 2 or 3 games.

[Grape Ape]

Cool.

I would never draft a D that high (5th), and I thought I did well getting the Pats so late.  I felt they were the next tier down from the Giants, Steelers and Ravens.

You don't have to worry about the front 3 or 4.  The secondary is very - very young, so that could be an issue for the first 2 or 3 games, but I think they will gel and get the job done after that.  Belichick can scheme like it's nobody's business.

I wouldn't want Grant as my RB1.  He'll get a ton of touches, but not a whole lot of yards and TDs.  He's three yards and a cloud of dust.

I have trained them well. 

[OzmO]

Not too excited about my picks.  I really wanted Rodgers, but the guy before got him.

Drafted 10th in 12 team league last night.

QB:  P. Manning, T. Edwards
RB:  K. SMith, T. Jones, T. Pierre, R. Williams
WR: R. Moss, M. Colston, I. Bruce, K. Walter
TE:  D. Keller, LJ SMith
K:  S. Gostkowski, M. Prater
DEF:  Jets, Cowboys

good lord, both my teams were crucified.

[Grape Ape]

Grape Ape, have faith in Brace, Greene, Prior and Adams. 

Ok Body, I hope you're right.  I mistakenly started Hasselback over Romo, since he was Sportsline's start of the week,. (I never do this).  It cost me 7 points.

I trail by 9 going into tonight.   He has LT and Gostowski.  I have the Pats D and Randy Moss.  Could be close.

If the pats have trouble it wont be because of the front four.  Jarvis Green (the guy who is replacing Seymour) is good enough to start on any team in the NFL.  He's got good numbers and when he filled in for Sey, he did a great job.  Greene makes starter money for a reason.  The young db's might take three or four games to gel.  If they give up points if will be because of the secondary.

I think the pats will score 28 -34 points tonight.  LT will have an angry Seymour hunting him tonight. Thats a good thing for you.

Cool.  I didn't think Seymour was playing.

I met Jarvis Green once.  He was at the GNC in the Copley Mall.  Got to try on his ring.  He was a monster.

[needmoresize]

I lost. What the hell happened to calvin johnson, To, FOrte, Deangelo, Dallas, Braylon, good lord no one did shit.

That's a great team.  I'd rather have Peyton than Rodgers.
