HeadInTheClouds Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The only mistake i've seemed to make was Drafting my backup QB with the same byeweek as my starter, so I had to draft a 3rd. QBs: (start 1) Trent Green Drew Bledse (him and TG have same bye week, ive got drew on the trading block right now to see if theres any interest in him) Drew Brees RBs: (Start 2) Ronnie Brown Carnell Williams Joseph Addai (if he gets the start for indy would make this a decent pick) Verron Hayes (might be replacing bettis for redzone) WRs: (Start 3, 1 flex W/R) Anquan Boldin Terry Glenn Javon Walken Joe Jurevicius TEs: (Start 1) Bubba Franks Robert Royal (backup/BYE) K: Rian Lindell Defense: (Start 2 DL, 2 DB, 2 D) Mike Vrabel DL Will Smith DL Jason Taylor DL Aaron Schobel DL Champ Bailey DB Donte Whitner DB Michael Huff DB Larry Foote DL Angelo Crowell DL Im thinking of trading one of the DL's for another DB seeing as how 2 of them are rookies and are a gamble, but I figure having a rookie starting DB is better then any offensive rookie. Any suggestions/comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony P Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Unless there's a large number of owners in your league (like 16 or more) I'd have to say that your team is "ok". At my first glance, it doesn't appear that you have a top-5 player at any of the 3 power positions (WR,QB or RB) IMHO. But as a first timer, just enjoy the season and learn from the experience. One peice of advice: if your league allows Free Agent pick-ups, pay close attention to the emerging players who went undrafted and snap them up. I've seen a lot of owners who've had average drafts make smart FA pick-ups and do very well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadInTheClouds Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 I agree with your analysis - however I would say Boldin is arguably a top 5 WR, certainly top 10. 757612[/snapback] Only 10 teams, I took Ronnie Brown in the first draft, all the other top RB's were gone and I figured RB has a chance for a breakout year, he did great lastyear and only started about half the season and was splitting most running duties with Ricky Williams. With RW gone this can only mean + things for Ronnie Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Rookie Mistake : Lots of players on your favorite team Average QBs: Certianly nothing exciting here... No depth at RB. Might have 4 starters...but likely will have just 2. WRs are average. Interesting that none of them are the #1 WRs on their team. But still, not a terrible group. Who is playing the flex slot? Your choices right now are Jurevicious/Addai/Haynes. Need to fix that. QUICK! You will get crushed at this position. TE: Royal? Seriously? Bubba Franks could be good, but more than likely he will go on to be an injured washed up tight end with a quarterback who is frustrated. I predict you will finish 8th in a 10 man league. But remember, this is fantasy football. If you gobbled up gado last year, or Goings the year before you would be all set. Watch the waiver wire like a hawk. You can do fine.

HeadInTheClouds Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Rookie Mistake : Lots of players on your favorite team Average QBs: Certianly nothing exciting here... 758044[/snapback] What about Trent Green, hes had 4000 passing yards quite a few times in a row lately? Which of the 3 do you recommend I get rid of, or who should I try to trade and for what position? Also Anquan Bolding is listed as the #1 on the depth chart for Arizona? Terry Glenn was #1 but got bumped recently by T.O. but something could always happen with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 are around the same level IMO. See which one (if any) step up and produce. I cant imagine any real trade value for them, but they would be gobbled up rather quickly if released. I didnt mean to imply that QB was a real weak spot. In fact you have really good depth here and you can certainally win with these guys. If this WERE the weak spot, you would be okay. Like I said though, nothing is written in stone after the draft. Keep your eye open. Per my QB Rankings: 11 Green 14 Bledsoe 18 Brees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadInTheClouds Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 No depth at RB after Brown and Williams... 758380[/snapback] Im hoping Joseph Addai will be named starter for Indy which would make him a good pick, ive seen him listed as sleeper on alot of reports, and Verran Hayes might be filling in the role of Jerome Bettis which should get him a decent amount of TD's but they havn't named anyone yet, but incase they do within the next few days i'd like to hang onto him. That seem logicial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
