How's your team look?

[thedoug]

Just a thread to see how everyone's teams are looking after the draft. I've got 8 teams this year with a goal to win half of them. Al leagues are slightly different as far as scoring, number of teams, and number of players per team.

R Moss
S Moss

Chad Johnson
TO
L Coles
V Jackson
Stallworth
Booker
T Williamson
B Wade
Cooley

Team 4 -

Palmer
Eli
R Wayne
L Evans
I Bruce

Stallworth
R Williams
M Booker
C Davis
M Lynch
A Green
T Bell
F Taylor
O Daniels
Gostkowski
Stover
GB
NYJ
D Klecko
B Kelly

This was a perfect example of why you should be at your draft. Even if Carson Palmer wasmy highest rated player available, I would not draft him in the 2nd roud if I already have Tom Brady. I would have been better off at RB. I also would not have a backup K and DEF. I would have used those picks to get more backups at RB.

Team 6 -

T Brady
Rivers
R Moss
R Brown
J Galloway
J Porter
V Jackson
T Williamson
D Mason
W Parker
MJD
M Lynch

Mine needs a little sumpin'...

Who do you have right now? If I know who everyone has, I can tailor the column to you guys instead of being a generalized column.

 

[mainman]

Would you start Kitna over Bulger? Any other changes (this was auto draft)

QB Marc Bulger
WR Terrell Owens
WR Andre Johnson
WR Deion Branch
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
RB Willie Parker
TE Kellen Winslow
K Robbie Gould
DEF Dallas


BN Minnesota
BN Jamal Lewis
BN Jon Kitna
BN Joe Horn
BN Jerry Porter
BN Eric Johnson

Maybe I can help.

I think she's asking if she should draft another tight end.

Now that I zoomed in and saw the names... wrong fantasy dungeon for that kind of talk.

Are there only 4 teams in your league or what? I would stick with Bulger for week 1. Kitna is playing against a great pass D in Oakland and something about promising wins in Detroit is like asking to get injured and lose your job.

My team looks great!

Please share.

 

[AK-74me]

I'm in four leagues....

2 for money and I have only done one draft so far, one tonight, other 2 this coming weekend. All 12 man leagues

here is my 1st team, I had the last pick in rd. 1 and then it was drawn random, no snaking. This is not the exact order in which I got these players but the top few are in order.

Willie Parker
D. McNabb
L. Fitzgerald
Ronnie Brown
Andre Johnson
Reggie Brown
Dolphins
Randy McMicheal
David Akers
Tony Romo
Chris Brown
L. Coles
R. Droughns
R. Longwell
Jets
J. Stevens

I had pretty bad luck in the draft sequence, so I did the best with what I had. I expect to finish middle of the pack in this league unless I get very lucky.

Hopefully tonight will see some better results

Yeah no kidding you have like six names that are 1st or 2nd rounders in my leagues.

Don't hate... It was an auto draft...

Mainman told me to stop doing that.

In a 12 man league I'd say top 4 if you stay on it. McNabb is a good pick, Romo is great insurance, Parker is a great pick, Ronnie Brown can be great if healthy and if the line can hold up, Chris Brown is a starter and TEN has proven they can develop RBs. Fitz, A Johnson, Coles, and Reggie Brown are all great choices that you'll have to play the matchup for. I think I would put Stevens over McMichael as a starter just because of the other receiving options in STL and TB. Why a backup kicker and a backup defense. See if there are any possible diamonds in the rough that you can swap out for. Notice I typically just have 1 backup for TE, D, and K. You could keep McMichael and Stevens but why not drop the Jets D for that possible beakout player. After Akers has a bye in week 5, drop Longwell for a backup D. Trust me, the Jets will still be there.

League requirements are 2 def and 2 k.

CBSsportsline, and this is the way it has been since we started it 9 years ago, I doubt it will change, people don't like voting on new rules for some reason.

Too bad this isn't a keeper league, because I won it last year. Had LJ and Frank Gore who I got for a steal in the 8th rd.

Like I said I should finish anywhere from 4th -8th depending.
