First few rounds went the way we wanted. We didn't expect to take 4 RBs in a row, but when you take two WRs and a QB early, your RB1/2 end up weak. So we wanted to pad our upside chances a bit w/ Bradshaw and Washington. The WRs available at that point (Hester, Avery, Holt, etc.) didn't seem very different from what we got a couple rounds later. My son and I debated a bit over whether to take Washington or Mendenhall in the 7th. But my son talked me into Washington's upside over the handcuff. He also found Moore late for us. The top WRs just seem more reliable and it also seems more feasible for mid-round RBs to outperform their draft positions. So we like this team. Who knows tho? Maybe we're FOS? We'll find out soon enough.

Again, we wanted two top WRs and a stud QB. And again, it weakened our RBs. But we like the upside of our 2 rookies, plus if Bush stays healthy, he could catch 80 balls. We didn't plan to take a TE this early, but we have Clark right below Witten and Gates. And when Olsen went 1 pick before us, we thought it prudent to be strong at WR/QB/TE, given our weaker RBs. WRs fall off after top 2, but it'll be interesting to see all the ways the Vikings use Harvin. And Crayton could surprise w/ TO gone. This team will need some luck at RB for sure. Hopefully Manning and Clark and our two top WRs will help offset.
Can't wait for the "test" to begin next week!
Good luck everyone!
