15.05 Aaron Schobel,DL,BUF

With 19 picks until my next pick I was looking at other team needs that might get taken in the next two rounds. DL seemed to be one of the biggest starting positions that could go before my next pick.

Schobel was one of the last 100 point guys from last year and was also rated as a top 10 guy for fantasy DL IDP's. Welcome aboard.

15.06 Drew Carter, WR, CAR
Felt I needed a little more depth at WR and actually had him in the 4th tier group.
Only use should be for Bye weeks, but could surprise and would help back up my solid core of receivers.

15.07 Julian Peterson, LB, Sea

He was the highest ranked LB left on my ranking and I needed another IDP. I didn't see any other guys sticking out at any of the other positions so I went with a guy that will fill a starting spot. Not looking for anything spectacular from Peterson but I think he'll be a decent 3rd LB for my team.

15.08 Tony Hunt, RB PHI

I wanted one more RB and there was really no great options but Tony Hunt should at least see alot of goal line situations. Ive followed him at Penn State and no he's a really good downhill runner so he should do well at the NFL level. With Undrafted out for awhile he might even see some regular playing time as a changeup to Westbrook. There's alot of upside here.

15.09 Stephen Cooper, LB, SDG

With the departure of Donnie Edwards back to KC and (undrafted) being released, San Diego’s defence has opened the door to (undrafted) and Stephen Cooper to walk right into a starting gig. Cooper saw more time on the field than (undrafted) last year, which is why I chose him. He has strong potential due to the Charger’s scheme and should get a lot of targets. Again, I went with a younger player with an inside position as I believe this typically generates good fantasy production.

15.10 Terrell Suggs, DL, Bal

I went after several IDP early in the draft (rounds 5, 8, & 10) to try to score some of the elite producers, with the thought that I could then wait until rounds 15-20 to fill in the corps.

So here we are. With 3 starting IDP still to go, I need at least one DL and one more LB. Based on the makeup of the teams picking between by 15th and 16th rounds, I think I’ll get my DL now.

I’m hoping that Suggs can be a “set it and forget it” DL for me this season – although I have had some success in the past in picking up viable DLs as free agents (which also suggests that I haven’t drafted them very well, I suppose). Looking for double-digit sacks and a smattering of the other “hustle stats” to go with the usual tackles for a lineman. I have him ranked in the top 5 among DLs; and as the 5th DL drafted, I’m getting fair value, although certainly not a “screaming deal”.

15.11 Jake Delhomme, QB, CAR
21 QBs were taken, so only 11 starters are available. viewing through the options on those 11 teams I see a lot who have not decided who to start in week 1. only a few have a true starter and of them I see only 2 options: Delhomme and Grossman who has the same bye as Marc Bulger (my #1). this leaves me with Delhomme. Carolina signed [undrafted] in the offseason to bring in some competition, but Delhomme is still the #1 and can do great in week 9 at TEN because they have only an average pass defense at best.

10 picks ago I thought that it would be time to take a defense with this pick, but this was before a realized that QB were already really thin. my preferred choices at D are Miami or Jacksonville. I only expect s_r to pick up a defense because leggestand and Slackjawed Yokels already have one, so I am ok to take the remaining D in round 16.

15.12 Owen Daniels, TE, HOU

Only 3 teams didn't have TE's since Round 12 or so: s R, IAC, and me. Out of the TE's left, I liked two of them: Heath Miller and Owen Daniels, in no particular order. Since I split IAC and s R's picks, I knew I could wait until they take one of my choices, and then I would take the remaining guy.

I like Owen Daniels because I like what Matt Schaub does with his TE's. He used Crumpler consistently when he got playing time in Atlanta and he made Heath Miller the nations best TE at UVA. With the introduction of the West Coast offense to the Texans, I firmly believe Daniels will end the season as a top 10 TE.

He's new the weakside linebacker for the Colts so should stand to get a lot of tackles. He really came into his own in the playoff run last year, and now will be an integral part of the Colt's D.

Gonzalez has the most promise of the three challengers for the No. 3 job at the passing powerhouse in Indy.

He has seemed on the verge of becoming a true dominator. Hopefully he's in line for another Pro Bowl season.

16.02 Robert Mathis, DL, Ind

Did the old homer thing here again, 2 colts drafted this time around. Of course, with one of the intermediate picks sR picked Gonzales who will probably be more fun to watch. Being a Colts fan, it can actually be pretty hard to watch their defense at times. Hopefully Manning and co. can build up enough leads that Mathis and the speedster on the opposite side will be free to rush the QB in lots of obvious passing situations. If this is the case, then they'll be forcing turnovers like they did against the Bears this past Monday night.

16.03 Bob Sanders, DB, IND

I drafted Sanders last year and he promptly got hurt and I dropped him. But, in the three full games he played last season, he averaged 9.67 fantasy ppg, which would put him as the #2 DB (behind PacMan) on a ppg basis. I know it's a small sample size, but it also only includes only one INT, which means he is a tackle based played and should give me solid stability.

He is an injury risk (see last season), and his shoulder hurts already, but if he can give 9-10 ppg and not get hurt for a long period of time, he could easily end up a top 5 DB by year end. I am very happy with this pick.

Biggest 16th Round Steal: Jacksonville at 16.14...this is one of my favorite picks of the draft. I couldn't believe they fell so far.

At this point I have given up on "stretch's" as people are just filling needs and taking flyers. I can't see anything that bad with anyone's picks anymore.

16.04 Miami Defense
I thought about defense for 2 rounds and it was finally time to pick one. it was either Miami or Jacksonville. I see them nearly equal in value but some Miami defense players have the big-play potential to add more TD over the course of the season. I hope that one of them is Jason P Taylor.

with this pick I only need 2 additional starting slots to fill: Kicker and 1 IDP. since I think that both slots can be filled very late I can now start to add the depth I will need as bye-week-replacement, and I hope I have to use them only in that case. lets start to gamble who this years Marques Colston is.

16.05 Takeo Spikes, LB, Phi

My team situation calls for a LB here – I have only one so far. I’m hopings Spikes has recovered from his Achilles injury in 2005. He is slated to play weak side LB for Philly this year, where he should get plenty of tackle opportunities – as long as he can stay healthy enough to stay on the field.

I almost nabbed another RB here (I have only 3), but I suspect one of the candidates from my short list will still be there next round, if that’s where I decide to go.

16.06 Richard Marshall, DB, CAR

I saw Taylor and Sanders go off the board and thought it was time for me to select a player at this position. In his first season, Marshall tallied up 83 total tackles, one sack and 3 INTs, including one which was run back for a TD: good numbers for a rookie. I am assuming that he is still on the learning curve and that his numbers will increase this year. An added bonus is that Marshall also gets to play on special teams and should be getting return yards as well.

16.07 Jeff Garcia, QB TB

It was time to pick a back up QB in this round and it came down just a handful of QB's. At first I thought about who had the best matchup for me in Hasselbeck's bye week. But then I decided to go with the QB I would be most comfortable with starting if Hasselbeck went down in week 1. Garcia was that QB. He has nice targets to throw to even if his O-line is not the greatest. He also knows the system very well and probably has the most job security of the QB's left on the board.

16.08 Leonard Little, DL, STL

This is a little bit of a homer pick but from I recall he was by far the best DL guy left. I look for him to put up good sack numbers and increase his tackle numbers. He's a fast guy that could probably play LB if need be. That's wishful thinking but he's not a complete oaf like some DL guys.

I'm not a fan of drafting rookie WRs, but felt pretty good about this one this late.
In fact, actually tried to draft him in the 15th round, but he wasn't in the database.
So, quick email to KKB and hope he would still be there to pick up the next round.
Right now, it looks like he has a fairly good shot of being the #2 WR for the Chargers.
Even if he doesn't win that battle, he should still get a good amount of playing time.

See also rationale at 15.04. I believe the Packers return all 11 starters from last year, which finished the year strong. Kampman is a great pass rusher, and Hawk and Barnett are solid LBs. Mostly I chose them for their schedule, which I mentioned at 15.04.

Throwing another dart at the dartboard. Miller is a return guy. Scored 123 fantasy points last season. Slowed by a hamstring problem right now but it sounds like he should be good to go week 1. We'll see what happens. If his role on defense is further expanded then he could be huge.

Hmm, a starter on a possible Super Bowl contender - what's the problem? Oh, yeah, he can't stay healthy, and he's never been that great a performer. Call it a mad hunch, but I think Leftwich will perform better than the 24th-ranked QB, which is where I'm taking him.

I was really expecting that when I'd pick up my 2nd DEF, that I'd be having to look through the scraps left in order to get my bye week fill in. It ends up, that I got a team, that many actually consider as TOP 5 this year. When you can "stuff the run" like this mean D does, they don't let there opponents do too much in the "red zone".

Time to back up the other big point position. I'm really not expecting a whole lot out of Grossman. All I need is for the Bears to continue playing him week in week out, and him continuing to put up his mediocre #s. I really saw no seperation between him and a lot of QBs that have been taken over the last 5 rounds: Shaub, McNair, Losman, Pennington, Delhomme, Garcia, Leftwich... I got them all tiered together.

Definitely a championship D I'm building with 2 Cleveland guys and 2 Arizona guys.

Hayes has been sitting on my board a while as I almost took him instead of Dansby several rounds back. He's another one of those guys that isn't the most consistent in the world healthwise, but when he's on can be a really strong performer. I like his chances of being a solid LB2 as long as he stays healthy.

17.03 Rocky Mcintosh, LB, WASH

I figured this pick would make everyone scratch their heads but I really wanted him on my team and didn't want to risk watching someone pick. you just never know.

Rocky was the 35th overall pick in the 2006 draft. Last season he spent most of the year on the bench. This year he's already watching film when the coaches show up for practice, and he's watching film when they leave.

Some news bites on him:
Rocky McIntosh was arguably the best defensive player on the field for the Washington Redskins last week. He stopped Hines Ward for a 4-yard loss on a screen, stuffed a running play for another 4-yard loss, shared a sack with Shawn Springs and was all over the field in the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Rocky's got it. The light switch has turned on for him,"

McIntosh practically lived at Redskins Park in the offseason

"I want to be a dominant force. I want to be a factor out there," McIntosh said. "It's only a start. That's all."

'Skins Second-Year Linebacker Rocky McIntosh Is a Beast '


anyway, there are enough interesting reports on him that I thought it was worth taking a chance. hopefully by the end of the season everyone will know who Rocky McIntosh is.

17.04 Osi Umenyiora, DL, NYG

I am actually a 'Skins fan, so the presence of so many Giants on my team is somewhat odd. Umenyiora was a premier DL 2 years ago with 15 sacks and 70 total tackles. An injury derailed his 2006 season, but I am hoping he will return to his pre-injury form this year. He is only 25 years old, so he should be in his prime.

I had actually hoped to get Suggs as my DL, but Guru snatched him up a little earlier than I wanted to take a DL.

I have had Wade on my radar for a few rounds now. I wasn’t sure where to draft him. He has gone undrafted in most leagues.

Because I am posting this late I was able to see Wade’s 3rd preseason game where he caught 5 passes for 85 yds and threw for a TD. That makes me feel a little better. I hope that this wasn’t his best game of the year.

The word is that he is fully recovered from the break in his leg that cut last year short.
He only started 12 games, and still had 2 sck, 2 int, and 83 tackles.
I expect to see him back up at 15 or 16 games, 3 sck, 2 int, 115 tackles.
Which in my mind makes him a great value in the 17th round.
He will stay outside with the rookie going to the MLB slot.
This should also help his numbers.

I had pegged the 17th round to get my kicker, hopefully before everyone else so I could get the guy that I wanted. Wilkins is the best and most consistent kicker in the NFL, especially at long distances. His 40+ yard kicks are numerous with a high percentage, and he plays at least half of his games in a dome. Quite frankly he was the highest scoring player left on the board.

I am feeling like a bit of a hog at this moment with one of only three teams with 5 RBs. However, for the reasons set out in rationale 14.06, I like to keep a few spares. I like Dominic Rhodes and I am not convinced that Jordan has a lot of job stability. Rhodes is talented and could very well end up with the starting gig should Jordan remain as unimpressive (IMHO) as he was last year.

17.10 Buffalo Defense

13 defenses have been taken, and three teams still have none. I took the Panthers six rounds ago, and at the time, I identified Buffalo as the best defense to pair with them, based on matchups during the season. I don’t know which round the Bills would otherwise be taken – but at least one reputable analytical site has them ranked as the best available defense at this time, so I think I’ll bite.

I still have one starting IDP slot to go, and also a bye replacement for IDP. I’m willing to wait for those, as I may end up eventually fill those holes from the ranks of the undrafted. Another backup RB would probably be prudent, but I have 4 names on my short list, so there’s no reason to jump now.

I haven't realized that there are only that few WR out there that are really draftable. having no backup until now I figured I'd better take at least one with the next 2 picks. my queue was: Nate Burleson, Marty Booker, Dante Hall.

the latest report out of Seattle is that Burleson has a shot at starting and is currently projected as their returner. if he starts he may not get all returns if he is the #3 he will get all returns. I don't know what situation would be better for him fantasy-wise because he was a terrific returner last season. I simply like his upside.

He is playing MLB for Cincy, and MLB = a good chance at a ton of tackles. He is my 5th IDP, and I only need to fill DL now, so, he could end up on the waiver wire if I see a better option as the season progresses. But, I'll take a MLB in a run happy division (AFC North) anyday.

Time to start filling in holes in the roster. With Manning at the helm, I plan on plugging him in every week. Looking at week 6 matchups, I thought about getting Delhomme last time around, but wanted to shore up my defensive starters. He was no longer around, and the top available qb's did not have good matchups or were also off that week. I'll pick someone next time around. I turned instead to WR/TE where I didn't have any real bench strength. Mason looked to be the best option out there. He's coming off a disappointing season, but should still see regular action which isn't a sure thing with the other available options. That's pretty much what I'm looking for in a backup.

I needed a 5th WR as I have two Dolphins in my WR corps, so, on that bye week, I will need to find someone anyhow. Dante Hall will return punts and possibly kicks for the Rams. He will also enter the season as the 4th WR (and 6th option behind McMichael and Jackson) on the Rams. But, I don't expect the trio of Bruce, Bennett, and Holt to make it through much of the season without injury and thus moving Hall up to the the 3rd WR. 6-8 ppg would be nice from Hall.

18.04 Marty Booker, WR, MIA
the currently available IDPs are a dime a dozen, so I looked at upgrading my offense. no RB presented itself yet (some seem to be good sleepers this year), so it was WR again. with seeing not many starting wideouts left, and not many #3 with return duties, Booker was an easy choice. I can only hope that Trent Green stays at his passing game and discovers Booker as a target to throw the ball to more often. Booker was the last WR I considered drafting at this point (Dante' Hall was the 2nd one, but he was gone 1 pick ago).

QB, RB, WR and TE are empty, IDP and K are interchangeable from week to week, there is only D where I still see a difference, so this may be my choice for my 19th pick. from now on its sleeper time.

I decided to pick another LB (I'm plannning on starting 4 of them every week) while there was still what I thought to be quality fantasy players left on the board. I picked Ruud as he fit well within my roster in respect of bye weeks. He is taking over the MLB position, which is the position that I like to draft the most as players seem to get more tackle opportunities at this position. Another plus is that I expect TBB's defence to be on the field a lot, which should get Ruud an increased chance of racking up the points fantasy-wise.

I was actually looking to pick up a LB here for my second IDP position but I also looked at DB and saw Samuel still available. He is a great cover corner and averaged almost 8 points per game last year. He's had some contract issues in the preseason but I expect him to be on the field for game 1 of the season. I consider him a great value at this point in the draft.

I had made a queue with Duckett and Bennett with 2 picks to go before I picked. Unfortunately for me everybody on the other side of the draft picked super fast and I didn't get a chance to reevaluate this pick. Duckett is behind Jones and Bell on the depth chart but he could be the goal line go to guy. Also, neither Bell or Jones has been to sturdy this preseason.

18.09 Oakland Raiders, Def, OAK
Last year this defense was Third in Total Defense and was the best in the NFL against the pass.
They were lacking in sacks and takeaways, but did have a few big plays.
I'm really looking for a nice solid season from them, and hopefully can go with my second defense when they have really unfavorable matchups.
I've tended to find that waiting this late on a defense really doesn't hurt me as long as I can find somebody that I expect to outperform where I have them ranked.

18.10 Jacoby Jones,WR,HOU

I thought about drafting him in the 20’s but then he has to have a big game against the Cowboys. So I am now worried that the cat is out of the bag.

He’s pushing Kevin Walter for the #2 job, and it could only be a matter of time until he passes him and steps into the starting lineup

18.11 Jon Beason, LB, CAR

Beason is a rookie from the U who looks like he has secured a starting spot on the weak side for the Panthers. Since the Panthers may soon start tracking "Dan Morgan's concussions TO GO" on the scoreboard, I think there is a chance Beason could see time in the middle, which would help his tackle numbers. Another late-round LB gamble with decent upside.

18.12 Trent Green QB MIA

I was going to take Jacoby Jones here. Unfortunately Bags grabbed him 18.10 while the Houston/Dallas game was still in progress.

Figured I may as well get some QB insurance. Green was the only available QB who I could envision putting up some big games.

That hit that knocked him out last year was nasty. I won't be surprised if he never returns to form. He does have some good targets in Miami though (better than he had in KC). And one thing about Green is that he's a great passer. Very accurate arm, and if he discovers the "Ginn runs deep and I throw as far as I can" play then it could be some good times.

18.13 Will Smith, DL, NO

This seemed like a no-brainer pick since he's probably the most consistent Hollywood star out there along with Will Ferrell. His new movie will probably open in the $40-$50 million range like Hitch and has a decent shot of winning at least two weekends...what, this isn't the ReelGuru Independent Film Competition?

Um, I wanted DL, he's good and tackles people? OK, I sincerely have Smith in my top 5 at DL and wanted to go ahead and round out my IDPs. While they aren't spectacular, they should be a solid group with breakout potential.

18.14 Chad Greenway, LB, MIN
Greenways rookie campaign was destroyed by injury. Now, all reports appear to be that he healthy and ready to take a major role in the defence. Greenway moves into the WLB of Mini's Cover 2. If he can remain healthy, then he has a good chance of him outpointing his fellow teamate who was pick 5 rounds previous in our draft.

Best Pick of Round 18: 18.10 Jacoby Jones
Stretch of Round 18: 18.08 TJ Duckett
