Who did you take with the 2nd pick? Because I don't see LT or Peyton Manning on your team.

Peyton's not the 2nd best fantasy value-Steven Jackson is. As much as I like Peyton, he really can't be considered that much until at least pick 5 or below.

Correct, sir. I took Jackson. Peyton went right behind him at 3 (to a Colts fan). Rudi was my 2nd rounder, then McNabb. I traded a 9th-rounder and Willis McGahee for Marques Colston and a 15th-rounder because I was desperate to upgrade my receiving corps and already had my two backs (since I later got Willie Parker, who is rated higher than McGahee, I don't feel bad at all about making that deal).

How on Earth does Willie Parker last until the 4th round or later -- even in an 8-team league? I have a 14-team draft coming up this weekend -- I'm doubtful Willie gets to my pick in the first round (#9)!

 

 

You are still weak @ WR -- you probably would have been much better off taking a top WR in the 3rd round instead of McNabb. And by picking McNabb, there was definitely no reason to waste a roster spot on Quinn. Also, under no circumstance should anyone ever draft a backup kicker.

I agree. The only time you'd need a backup kicker is during your regular kicker's bye week, and you can just pick up a free agent kicker for that week.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Definitely need someone more reliable than Quinn as the backup if McNabb is your starter. And I agree with the guy who said the WR core doesn't look good.
