    vick was hardly blitzed until the end of the year and when he was, vick sucked and got hurt. it is a no brainer to pick a best available rb first and second and wr 3 4 5 and qb6 then way down the end go te k def

    Really Turner, he cracks the top #15. I think on that Wide out list there were two #1's and the two that are #1's have average QB's at best throwing to them (Holmes & Williams). Maybe I should change it from Sleeper to Value pick while everyone else is blowing their load on QB's. There is no way Vick has the year he had last year. D's have been preparing for him

    where is the top 10 RB list?

    You knew Vincent Jackson would fall off due to his hold out.
    Randy Moss was a shocker
    Holms missed 4 games and switched teams
    Wasn't rice hurt last year
    wes welker was coming off a devastating knee injury

    so just looking 09 to 10, half the list we knew was going to change just becuase of injuries/suspensions/hold outs.

    if you look at the 10 list and project crap, i wouldn't touch
    Lloyd
    Bowe
    Wallace scares me
    Jackson scares me


    anyways, feel free to do what you want....i'm going to stick to my system which has kept me near the top of the standings on a pretty consistent basis.

    Agreed Mamasan23. He has looked like erratic/shitty Vick from Atlanta so far in the preseason. Now that's he's got his fat contract he can go back to sneaking weed onto planes and running dog fights. It's all downhill from here. I'd rather have Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Rivers, and even with a sore neck Manning than Vick.

    Vick is an interesting pick. I wouldn't mind having him if i could pick him up in the 3rd or 4th round....and get a solid back up because we know he won't start all 16 games.

    That is the issue with DogKiller, as good a player as he is. Must have a solid back up cause he is going down at 1 point -- if not multiple points.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    as least you stayed true to your beliefs....even if they are wrong. :P

    I picked up Ryan as well. He's going to have a big year. Beanie...as we discussed. great pick up. Lee Evans intersts me, but scares me with his new team status. i'm suprised Miles lasted as long as he did.

    don't draft TE, K or DEF. ever. they're always dropped and picked up by 10 different teams throughout the season

    Uhhhhh, don't you have to start those postions anyway? So you will draft all other postions then drop them anyway before your first game correct?

    No love for McFadden here? I got him, Arian, and Blount and can't wait for next weekend. Well, actually I can because PJ20 will be over with by then lol.

    McFadden is technically marked as a run by committee because they have Michael Bush. Isn’t McFadden injury prone?

    McFadden had a nice year last year. He'll be the workhorse, but Bush will get a few carries.

    I would not be surprised if McFadden misses a game or two and still ends up a top 10 back. I am very confident in saying that he will score more points than Hillis this year.

    I have Ingram on my bench as of now just in case one of my backs is hurt.

    And Michael Bush does scare me a little because he has looked good this offseason. Hopefully he gets just enough carries to keep McFadden healthy.

    i also believe, you want to take the best player available regardless of position. that could result in a TE going in round 4 or maybe as high as three.


    I like your post except this part. That should never, ever, ever happen except in the case of 1 single TE and only if he is healthy.

    I took Whitten at the end of 4th of the PJ AET league (12 teams i had the second pick). when you compare his stats to teh wr's available and the rb's that were there... it made sense. he's going to catch 80-90 balls, be around 1000 yards and have 8-10 td's.


    But where was M.Lewis drafted and how'd he do? Lots of TE value after Gates.

    Depends on the league rules, but it is certainly not a "no brainer" to go RB-RB in rounds 1&2 anymore. That draft strategy is soooooo 2006. ;)

    Some of those Top WR are way more valuable then the crappy 2nd tier RB.

    that is a thin starting line up leauge. no kicker, and only 1 rb wow.

    looks like a solid line up, condisering you don't start many

    Forgot the K.... but yeah, weird how we don't start too many. it used to be 2 RB and 2 WR. Then they changed the 2nd RB to a Flex......

    I think I'm weakest at RB... but between those three guys I think someone emerges.
