- Great RB1/2, but only one more NFL-starting RB and not likely many TDs for him (Deangelo); then a bunch of low-end timeshares: B+
- One decent low-end TE1, one low-end TE2 and marginally useful backups: C-
- Overall: B

Being this is my first year here, I'm still weighing the get RB's first strategy, vs. get the best WR's you can early. It'll be interesting at the end of the season to see which prevails.
- QB: A
- RB: A+. 4 starters, plus a goal-line/handcuff (and presumably a few more on bench)
- WR: A. Good up/down mix for DC
- TE: C-
- Overall: A-

Thanks for the feedback Sandman. Spot on analysis. I think Thomas and Bush might prove to be valuable down the line. The Dolphins don't sound like they are sold on Miller.

This is definitely the best one I've seen. Well done! (I'd like to see how close you could come to this in August ;))
- QB: A. Assuming Manuel starts and Brady is Brady
- RB: A+. 2 NFL starters, plus 3-4 great timeshare prospects. (Another A+ variation for me would be 3 NFL starters and 2+ great timeshares)
- WR: A+. 3 great starters, 2 very good upside backups, decent fliers
- TE: A+. Though when you drafted this, most probably didn't expect Cameron's stock to rise so much. Where he is now though gives you a great 1-2 punch, plus Eifert's upside
- Overall: A+
