Guess I could have done worse, so just need to cross my fingers and hope with this one.

Another pick where I wasn't exactly happy after making it. I was going to pull the trigger on Ronde Barber but figured I needed another top tier LB. Brooking is very consistent though he doesn't get enough of the bonus points, ints and fumbles, that other LB's get. He's another guy that I figured would provide me with solid points week in and week out rather than one huge week followed by 2 mediocre weeks.

I chose to round out my starting WRs at this spot as I thought the available selections were getting thin with no. 1 WRs. So I chose Porter as he is first on Oakland's depth chart. He is a talented receiver who has not lived up to his potential as of yet. He spent some time on the bench last year and had some personality problems with the team's coach. This problem is now solved, so he has no excuses not to reach his full potential this year. Being the clear no. 1, he should be getting a lot of targets and put up decent numbers as my no. 3 WR.

Welcome back Jason! I wanted him 21 picks ago but thought I could wait and it worked. lucky me gets the best defense lineman in our scoring format in the 9th round. he can be a monster and can put up 20 points in any given week. in such weeks he will be the difference if I am winning or losing.

Most of my logic was explained with my Ben Roethlisberger pick. Every manager after me had selected a solid QB in earlier rounds, so I knew that Leinart would get back to me after my 9.09 pick. I picked him to be the second member of my QBBC because of the talent surrounding him. Logically, if Boldin and Fitzgerald are ranked in the top 10 WRs, someone has to be getting them the ball. He did not play a full year last year, so he may not be totally well versed in the offence. However, his strenght of schedule ranks in the top 5 easiest, and he will be a great reliever / or starter, opposite Roethlisberger.

I had been eyeing Bruce for about a round or 2. He's one of those old vets that seems like they've been in the league for 20 years. He consistently puts up above average numbers and has been relatively healthy over the past few years. The influx of receivers in St. Louis will hurt his numbers but he'll still put up 800+ yards and 4-5 TD's. Almost picked Warrick Dunn here but decided I needed to fill my WR void.

This is a Homer pick. I might have a man crush on this guy. He is right there on talent level with Merriman. With Wade Philips running a more aggressive style of defense Ware could lead the league in sacks. Ware will put up a few dud games but with his huge big play capability he should be a difference maker for me on defense.

I don't really know what to expect from Watson. The Patriots offense is vastly different from last year, so it is hard to say. Watson seems to be a good athlete, and the way Brady spreads it around, I think Watson will get enough points to trail the Tier II TEs by less than a point per week.

Dunn will be the starting RB again this year. That in itself is enough to warrant spending a 10th rd pick on him. Reports say he's looking great in training camp. He will of course split carries with Norwood, but still, there's a good chance he'll pile up over 1000 yds again. For as little as I'm hoping to need him, that's fine by me.

What I should have done is taken Ted Ginn. Even though this was my first IDP of the draft, it was still a stupid decision to take one here. I could get a similar level of production off the waiver wire. I usually don't take defensive players when there is what I consider to be quality offense available, but I sure screwed this one up.

This is another Homer pick. I kept reading in Guru’s rationales where he thought about picking a player and decided he could wait, only to see the player go before they made it back to him. I didn’t want to miss out on my team. They probably would not have made it back to me. Bonus for making I_A_C’s 11th round value list.

Just finding his own at 27 and should do well at the DB slot.

Henry was one of the backs vying for the starting RB role for Tennessee. It doesn't look like he'll win the job now but when I selected him he was still in contention. He has the most potential of any of the backs for the Titans so I imagine he'll get carries and maybe win the job down the road. I just hope I don't have injuries and am forced to drop him before he gets a chance to shine.

At this point, I thought it was time for me to look at some depth at WR, as I had my three starters selected but no one to relieve them. Granted, Eddie is getting a bit long in the tooth, but he has the speed necessary to stretch the field vertically as evidenced by his 16.7 yards-per-catch average since his arrival in Kansas City. He is their No. 1 receiver and should get a lot of targets. He has started 44 consecutive games over the past three seasons which is a testament to his durability. All in all, I was happy to be able to pick up a No. 1 WR in the 12th round.

Definitely time to take a 4th WR. Jones likely isn't going to put up huge numbers, but Tennessee has to throw to ball to someone. There's a chance that he becomes the number 1 guy and gets a thousand yards. There's also a chance that he ends up sitting on the bench. Either way, Lord willing, I won't have much need for a WR4. This is a speculative pick. Bench wr's are kinda the same as IDP's to me. Like throwing darts at a dartboard. A bunch of waiver wire fodder.

Hmm, two Cleveland defenders. I’d be more concerned about that if I hadn’t had both of them on my team last year with solid results. Davis is a run-stopping machine on a team that doesn’t stop the run much, so that means a lot of tackles. He averaged just shy of 8 FP/G last year and should do about the same this year.
