I don't understand why you ignored WR for so long. The problem I see is that you won't put up enough points at WR to compete. You have a lot of upside RB's but even if they hit you will need a lot of luck from rookie WR's or Matt Jones finding a team to be a factor. I don't see a lot of upside with some of your late round picks. I would rather pickup a low level WR3 or an upside WR4 than Sorgi at QB5.

On the positive side it seems like you nailed the first 6 rounds. I don't like to backup my RB in the first 7 - especially in a winner take all DC. (Two roster spots for one position typically equals a great chance at being middle of the pack.) If you added in a Donal Driver or Torry Holt in the 7th your team starts to look much better. Also, I believe the benefit from 3 Def's can be powerful.

I guess when I look at the team there are just too many players that very well could not be seeing much of the field this year. It would be nice to have more everydown players that will consistently give you something. Just my 2 cents which you probably know would be overpaying for my advice.

Wayne

Wayne, thanks for the feedback. I guess I see more potential in my WRs after Bowe and Holmes than you do. When I look at Crabtree and Nicks, I see them able to put together a WR3 season. Then, if I can just get flex points out of the rest, I feel I can compete.

I also happen to think Bowe blows up this season with Gonzo gone. Yes, he'll have more focus from opposing Ds, but he'll also have his share of 150 targets left from Gonzo departing.

It seems that when you go QB or TE early, you get to play catch-up at RB or WR. IMO, this year if you're drafting from the top of the draft, you're going to have to hit some homeruns to make it work unless your RB1 blows up.

When I took Gates, I didn't care for the WRs available. I happen to think Gates gets back to his lofty #s providing he's healthy.

All in all, I felt WR was my weakest position, but not to the point that I won't be able to compete. That remains to be seen.

Again, I appreciate the feedback

Pete, IMO, this is your achilles heal. While SJax is terrific, he needs to have a monster year to make up for the RB2/RB3 for you. Wells/Hightower may split opps right down the middle which isn't many in the Red Zone. McClain is now a FB per my understanding. And the rest are long shots to produce IMO.

Outside of RB, I like your team. Everyone has a weakness usually in these 14 teamers, so we'll see.

Good luck!

RB: you more than likely have the best there is at the position and backed him up - well done!...you dittoed that with your RB2 as well (who will be alright this season but will NOT outperform his ADP ISHO)...the only problem is that SNAKE is NOT a big fan of either Denver RB this year - sorry...Bradshaw just might indeed be your saving grace at the position IF his workload is similiar to that of Derrick Ward's last season...after that SNAKE likes not...Overall Grade: C

Glenn, thanks for the feedback. One question about the RB grade, if you think I have the #1RB overall and his handcuff, plus Moreno and his cuff, how does this get a C? Do you not think that is enough to compete at the RB level with the balance of the league? [/QUOTE]...because DESPITE the fact that SNAKE thinks AP is the best at his position and you'll do just fine at the RB1 spot, The Serpent does not think that the production that you get from your RB2 (and/or his backup) will be in the top tier of production from the RB2 position overall...again, outside of Bradshaw SNAKE is not particularly fond of your depth at the RB position...naturally all of this is simply ISHO so take it for what it's worth - a heck of a lot less that Wayne's (Coltsfan) humble opinion...hehehe...SNAKE [/QUOTE]Fair enough. Thanks for the input.

[/QUOTE]I agree, I need a big year from Jax. The rest of them, I'm hoping they get me 10 ppg or so. Mcclain could still score 8-10 tds.
