QB: Favre
QB: Sanchez

RB: S. Jackson
RB: R. Brown
RB: Spiller
RB: Ward
RB: Faulk
RB: McKnight

WR: White
WR: Steve Smith (NYG)
WR: Wallace
WR: Holmes
WR: Massaquoi
WR: Hartline

TE: Cooley
TE: Shockey

K: Tynes

D: Packers
D: Bucs My thoughts on my team. Solid team. I was happy to get one of my Top 8 QBs and the Jackson/White/Smith start to the draft was solid. The RB talent drops off considerably this year so in a 14-team format it's tough to come away with a lot of RBs you like unless you ignore other positions. I'm gambling on Brown but he is good when healthy. Spiller should be a solid flex in the NFFC format. I'm feeling the Cooley Love in Washington so I was very happy to get him as my starter at TE.

Overall, I think this is a solid team. Would have liked a stronger RB2 but in a 14-team league you're going to have something you're not giddy about.

Greg,

Not a fan of the Matt Ryan pick, but I really like the rest. Sidney at the end of round 2 is very nice value, and getting Grant with the last pick of the 3rd is even BETTER value!

Gates and Maclin are also nice adds....nicely done!

I know this draft was a glorified mock and done in early July, but it has me SERIOUSLY reconsidering my KDS!

EDIT: You may want to do some random drug testing at Fanball....Tom taking Favre....IN THE 4TH!!!

Favre is the eighth and the other seven were gone. That plan may not work but I do not want to go the committee route at QB if I can avoid it. I want a plug-and-play starter and I believe Favre remains one. Maybe I could've waited a couple of rounds to get him but I'm not going to run the risk of missing out on someone I like and being forced to scramble later.

Did you hear what Jules said on the Sirius show the other night? If you like a player, draft him. Don't lock into ADP. Take the player you want regardless of what round it might be.

She's smart.

DEF Dallas Cowboys Who was your 2nd rounder, Rich?.....Romo or S.Smith?? [/QUOTE]Sorry Billy...I just logged back on; but I see your question has been answered. Went with Smith in the 2nd. Even with the TC time he'll miss I still like him as a top 10-12 WR. He paired up well with Moore at the end of last season.

Yeah, I held off on QBs and made a tough choice. I just couldn't take Cutler there and then took Ryan over Kolb and McNabb. Who would you have taken there?

If I could have gotten Rivers and Grant at the 3-4 turn I would have been golden. Rivers went right before me and so I took Grant and then hummed and hawed for a long time. I didn't want to take a TE to start the fourth round, but I wasn't sure about Sims-Walker or Bowe there and no other top QBs were there. So I took Gates.

I'm picking Maclin every chance I get. I like him. Ricky Williams as my #3 RB isn't bad, too.

I'll have Tom drug tested in a bit. He looks like he needs to pee in a cup anyways right now.

[Tom Kessenich]

I like Greg's team. He's gambling with his QBs but I think his RBs and WRs are deep and Gates is a stud. He drafted a very good team from the No. 1 spot - especially in a 14-team league.
