I see you guys were very serious about this free draft. I wonder how this thread would look if there was money on the line.

Also, Rhodes on Roids...Go figure. Should they take away the Superbowl from the Colts now, after Rhodes' steller performance in the big game? Should there be an asterisk? I'm sure RC would love to read this.

That is a very well balanced team, Rusty...

Berrian for $4 is a steal. He's not a top WR by any means, but he is worth more than $4 in my opinion.

Good overall draft.

Hey guys saw that everyone was analyzing teams from the auction a couple of nights ago. I don't talk much trash, but feel free to break my team down as well. I felt pretty good about it, especially with Marion Barber as my flex. Please give me some input. Thanks!

not bad, although your #2 and 3 receivers would be very, very weak. Barber was the perfect flex last year. If he repeats that type of year, you'd have a nice team.

Thanks rusty butter, I really like Devery Henderson this year with Colston being the focus and Horn being gone. I also think either Troy Williamson or Brandon Marshall will have a big year as well. I know maybe some reaches, but Walker will obviously be the man in Denver that the Defense shadows and Cutler loves the long ball and somebody will have to catch the ball in Minnesota, they'll be coming from behind often. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

haha you guys are comparing the two worst teams from the draft. ha! you're both equally bad from the looks of it.

here's a team:

Rusty Butter (boutrous11)
QB Philip Rivers SDG 7
RB Maurice Jones-Drew JAC 35
RB Laurence Maroney NWE 43
WR Terry Glenn DAL 13
WR Chad Johnson CIN 38
WR Reggie Brown PHI 21
TE Dallas Clark IND 2
R/W/T Jamal Lewis CLE 20
K David Akers PHI 1
DEF Minnesota VikingsMIN 2
B-QB Eli Manning NYG 4
B-RB Sammy Morris NWE 2
B-RB Kenny Irons CIN 1
B-WR Robert Meachem NOR 2
B-WR Hank Baskett PHI 1
B-WR Bernard Berrian CHI 4
B-WR Bobby Engram SEA 2
B-TE Owen Daniels HOU 2 I'm not sure how you got in this discussion but since you're in.......you can't be serious!

I'm only gonna talk so much trash in a free draft that won't even be played out.

Nothing will be determined until they lace em up in Sept. anyway.

Feel free to jump in any real draft with me and then we can compare notes.

Not sure if it's been posted but we had an owner who didn't show so I jumped in and took a team. Here's what I came up with. Feel free to hammer away at it.

QB-Brett Favre $7
QB-Jay Cutler $5

RB-Brian Westbrook $54
RB-Reggie Bush $53
RB-Ladell Betts $19
RB-Reuben Droughns $2
RB-Ron Dayne $3
RB-Lorenzo Booker $1

WR-Darrell Jackson $19
WR-D.J. Hackett $13
WR-Greg Jennings $10
WR-Eddie Kennison $3
WR-Eric Parker $1
WR-Drew Carter $1

TE-Ben Watson $6
TE-Desmond Clark $1
D-Carolina $1
K-Matt Stover $1

Overall, I'd say this is a decent team. I love the Westbrook-Bush combo in this league and I really like my QB situation. Betts is a decent RB3 in this league but $19 was too much. That's the deal in auctions, though. You get into a bidding war at times and that raises the price tag for guys. My WRs are sketchy. I just didn't like paying $25-$30 or more for a top WR so I sat back and hoped there would be some value at lower prices. It's a decent group of WRs but nothing special.

I like Hackett as a 3 and Jennings as a 4 (not 2 and 3 where you have them) and don't like Jackson as a 1(obviously). So, yeah, those are weak wrs.

rbs like that can carry you though.

are there any $ auction satellites on here?
