Guys, you're all bickering over 2nd and 3rd places here. Adhere to the Diesel, and consider it a lesson learned. We can all argue 'til the cows come home, but you see my team, even with no depth at RB, and you see what's inevitable. A first place finish. So for you guys to make bets on a possible second or third place finish at best seems silly. But who am I to butt in. I mean there's always a POSSIBILITY that I fall, to SECOND.

Guys, if you're willing, I'd like your thoughts on my team. I definitely screwed up taking 3 Ks all with the same BYE week and a 4th that won't kick a ball all year.

With that said, What are your thoughts on the rest of my team?

Player Team BYE Week Amt Paid
Tony Romo Dal 10 32
Brad Johnson Dal 10 1
Matt Ryan Atl 7 2
Chris Redman Atl 7 1

Marion Barber Dal 10 46
Clinton Portis Was 10 42
Deuce McAllisterNO 9 4
Leonard Weaver Sea 4 1
Jamaal Charles KC 6 1

Plaxico Burress NYG 4 30
Kevin Curtis Phi 7 14
Mark Clayton Bal 10 3
James Jones GB 8 1
Devin Thomas Was 10 1
Joe Jurevicius Cle 5 1
Roy Hall Ind 4 1
Roydell WilliamsTen 6 1
Troy Williamson Jac 7 1

Owen Daniels Hou 8 8
Alex Smith TB 10 1

Adam Vinatieri Ind 4 4
Brandon Coutu Sea 4 2
Billy Cundiff KC 6 1
Jay Feely Mia 4 1

New Orleans NO 9 4

I would guess this team ends up 3rd!! Actually in the bottom half.

-Overpaid for Romo

-Overpaid for Burress

-Curtis would have been a nice 3rd but is a weak 2nd WR

-Not only did you waste one spot on a K that won't play this year. You may have wasted 2. I'd say Coutu is only 50/50. Mare may win that one.

-2 nice RB's but little depth. If one of them misses time, you'll be very weak there.

-Daniels is ok...but nothing behind him

-You took Jones right in front ofme. But I wouldn't want him as my 3rd/4th WR on this team

-I would have backed up Portis with Betts, considering your other RB's

-I thought you forgot to list a player or two...but there are 26 here. Maybe it seems "lacking" because of the K's.

-Barring a lot of injuries I would guess this team scores 2200-2300 points; with an upside of 2400. both 1st and 2nd will score in excess of 2500 points

-NOT one of your better efforts.

Thanks Rich. I was severly handcuffed once I overpaid for Romo. However, I really like Romo this year.

I agree, with as few Auctions I do, this was good practice for what is yet to come.

Thanks for the feedback.

UFFC - I think Riff's player and strategy assessment was spot on .

I ran quick numbers on the lge and I have you in the bottom five. I like Romo a lot too, but you'll get no benefit from paying that much for him, you'd be better off two quality starters there for less money, and I doubt Brad Johnson would be much of a handcuff if he missed time.

Kevin, thanks for the feedback!

While I don't think it's a bottom five team, I do agree with the assessmant on 2 lesser QBs to allow for more depth elsewhere.

My fate was sealed with the top 4 guns (Romo, Portis, and MBIII, and Burress) I'll live or die with their health.
