What's done is done.
Thanks Well. that explains the Stover pick. What about the Ward, Benson, Mason, Burress, Austin, Duckett picks? All those picks were made at least a round two early. A couple more like 3, 4 or 5 rounds early. Imo, you don't have a RB 1 or 2 and your best RB you didn't backup. You spent 4 picks on K's and you may only have 1 that plays. You also didn't backup your primary QB. I like your D's. your TE's are average and your depth is suspect. Imo, you will have to catch a lot of breaks to place in the top half of the league and will likely end up in the last quartile. (10-14). Hope you were looking for an honest opinion and not a "it looks good to me" opinion. Because to me it doesn't look good at all. BTW, feel free to critique mine. (team 11) You were great to draft with and you really helped keep the draft moving.
And good luck in the league, My outlook for your team is obviously based on my projections of your players, which could be very wrong.

Riff gave you a good critique. I agree with his analysis except for the Ward pick. You got good value with that pick.
This was a unique league in that you were drafting with at least a few premiere players who we may never see again in one $50 league. For me, it was an honor.
The problem with this group is that every drafting mistake that we make is going to bite us all in the ***, but I believe that you will end up beating out at least a couple of people at the end of the year. Good Luck.

Russ, here's my look at your team:
QB: Like your starter but believe you should have gotten his backup. Edwards hasn't made it through a season yet; don't believe this year will be any different. IF Palmer gets hurt, you may not have a QB.
RB: Peterson is great and you backed him up. Imo, that is the #1 RB tandem in the league. Moreno/Buckhalter is a nice #2 RB. Bradshaw/ Ware is a weak #3, imo and the rest has limited value excluding an injury to Barber. But overall a very nice set of RB's.
WR: As I joked, reports say Bowe went from Chief Strong Bowe to Chief Round Bowe in the off season. Personally I'm not interested in taking a "risk" on a high draft choice that puts on 35 LBs in the offseason, which he has to lose in the next 3 months while trying to learn a new system with a new QB. Imo, he's a weak #1 until I see how he fits into the new system. He doesn't have Gonzalez this year to prevent double teams. Holmes is a nice #2; but I don't see a #3 or much depth. Overall I'd rate your WR's as average to weak.
TE: If Gates is healthy which seems to be the case you have a top 3 TE. But really nothing else. If Gates stays healthy you'll be ok here. But you won't get any help at flex from this group.
D: Average
K: Average
I believe you have enough to compete but not enough to get to the finish line. I'd guess you end up middle of the pack. (6-9) One or two key injuries to your team could prove devastating, but an injury to Barber or Jacobs may get you into the hunt for a possible money finish if your team stays healthy. (This pays 3rd doesn't it)
I'd expect more depth from a 32 player draft.

bill QB: Imo, you have the top QB, but strangely backed him up with the #3 on the depth chart instead of the #2. You also chose not to backup your #2. If your #1 stays healthy you will be very strong here.
RB; Or should I say lack of RB's. Your #1 is suspended for the 1st 3 games and his role may be limited in the first 2 or 3 weeks back. All your remaining RB's are backups with limited roles barring injury to the starters. Fatsdale wasn't bad last year but will he get anothe 12-14 TD's. I suspect not. You need injuries to get anything much out of the rest, imo. RB's, imo, are very weak.
WR: Excellent #1, but I'm a bit concerned if the starting QB misses time, as he generally does. I'm shying away from your #2 because of his off season surgery and the fact he misses time every year. He's very good when he's healthy and on the field; but that isn't often enough. Your #3 is over rated imo due to a breakout year fueled by injuries to the #'s 1, 2 and 3 receivers on the team. Thay are all back this year. He will still be good but not as good as his ADP would suggest. Beyonf these 3 you have little depth or upside. I believe you "overpaid" for the top 3 which will prove harmful to your depth and quality at other positions. Although, overall your WR position is good.
TE: Average. IF you were strong elsewhere these would suffice.
D; Your #1 is overrated based on past performance. They lost too much in the offseason to be considered a top D this year. Your #2 is poor. Overall your D is average to slightly below average.
K: Good
For this team to compete you will need your #1 QB to play back to form; your top WR's to meet or exceed their ADP ( which I believe is highly unlikely) and you'll need injuries in front of a couple of your backup RB's. A lot to ask for. I see this team starting off slow and possibly making up some ground if everything falls into place, but not enough ground for a money finish. Finishing somewhere in the 5-8 range if the WR's perform as I expect. Again with this team I'd have expected more depth and upside from a 32 player draft.

very good
latest i heard was gutierrez was going to be the backup..hopefully i won't need him..if brady goes down,,i'm sunk anyway
i had every intention of getting fjax,,he went 2 rounds before i planned on getting him. i think lendale can still get some cheap TD's.
WR's, my thinking was get as many as i can with any chance of upside after my #1. that's why i took 12 WR's
i'm thinking keller will be solid this year with the inexperience QB situation in NY. TE's seem to be goto guys in that type of situation. h miller is who he is.
as long as ed reed is in the game, anything can happen.
anyway, thnx for the critique

Rich, thanks for the analysis. I'd be interested in seeing a self assessment of your team.
