Aaron Rodgers....nice.
Larry Fitzgerald....Leinart is horrible, his fault Fitz is hurt....not enamored with pick.
Steve Smith....which one, both probably good here.
LeSean McCoy....love.
Vernon Davis....eh, not sure. Rather wait for TE.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh....you'll regret this pick.
Brandon Jacobs....see above.
Jabar Gaffney....could be a nice one.
Fred Jackson....at this point, see above.
Willis McGahee....bland.
Donnie Avery....not a fan, but not bad pick here.
Derrick Ward....wasted pick and acquisition by the Bucs.
Philadelphia Eagles
Chaz Schilens....not a fan.
Earl Bennett....nice flyer.
Mark Sanchez....not a good QB, especially for fantasy.
Rashad Jennings....could be nice if MJD went down.
Matt Prater
Brian Hartline....like.

RB position isn't good enough. WR group is good, with some upside, but ultimately it's not going to make up for the lacking RB's. You better hope Rodgers throws for 5,000 and 40.

Too many question marks to make any noise. I hope this is from a 14 team league.

RBs are overrated and less important in NFFC, but his will do just fine. Like the first 8 picks, including Housh as WR3. I do think your QB and WRs WILL cover for any RB weakness. Not a big fan of the second half of this draft tho. Good luck.

Unless it's addressed, it wouldn't shock me to see his 2 starting RB's having multiple single digit scoring weeks as the season progresses.

I think come seasons end, you, too, will be regretting any Jacobs and Housh picks....as well as Darren McFadden.

What I said about Charty's draft can be said about your Mag team, Sand. You just might be underestimating the RB position too much. It will be interesting to see who's "right" come December.

You may be right. But think about this: depending which neutral commercial site's projections you use, here's some info using Sportsline:
- McCoy is projected to average 11.3 ppg, Jacobs 9.9. Only 9 RBs are projected to average 2 pts or more higher per game than McCoy. Only 17 RBs are projected for 2+ ppg more than Jacobs.
- Once you get past the top 5 RBs, NONE are projected to average 14+ ppg.
- From Turner down thru Harrison, 6th-34th, all will average from 13.9 down to 9.9. Good luck to all who draft RBs in rounds 2 and 3, hoping to get much more than those who wait til round 4 or 5. You'll be lucky to gain a point or two per RB per week.

I think the original poster's QB and WR strength will have little problem offsetting a few ppg compared to those who take RBs early then lose MORE than that to the field at qb/wr.

I get that you disagree tho. Good thing the season's not played out on the message board!

I like the team. a little weak at RB but 4 deep at WR and Rodgers will make the difference. I would just keep scanning the waiver wire for help at RB. The team has a chance to do well.
