Good team. If Holmes finally plays a season like the guy I saw in the super bowl, and Avery progresses, that's solid.

Do you think you might be juggling QB's or do you think Cutler will be the guy?

I think I'm set with my Top 2 RBs. Grant is rock solid in my opinion and he has Top 10 potential. I do think my depth is a bit suspect, though. I really need Charles to step up and I have to get a little lucky and get someone decent with one of the remaining six picks.

But looking at my roster I envision playing most weeks with 4 WRs and 2 RBs as opposed to 3 and 3.

Tom,reading your comments and following the draft the one thing I would say is"You had a chance to get a BIG edge at T.E.",you chose S.Holmes instead of GONZO.Can you explain your reasoning?

I was particularly interested in where Lynch would fall. Mid-4th. His suspension could be reduced to only 1-2 games. Could be a good value come playoff time...if he can stay out of trouble.

Tom,

It's much easier to put a team together knowing what would have been available to you but these are just my random thoughts.

1. Westy - good pick
2. Wayne - good pick
3. Welker - good pick
4. Grant - I really like Witten and would have taken him in a heartbeat.
5. Holmes - good pick
6. Avery - Not a great pick. I would have gone Jonathon Stewart.
7. Cutler - I'm not sold on him in Chicago. I would have gone Cedric Benson or Lav. Coles here.
8. Cooley - decent pick but Schaub would have been my choice here.
9. McCoy - good pick
10. Charles - great pick here!

Team might look something like this:

QB: Schaub
RB: Westy, Stewart, McCoy, Charles
WR: Wayne, Welker, Holmes, Coles
TE: Witten

All this team needs is RB2 to be a very tough team.

Wayne
