Needed to add the second DB and this is almost a mirror of what I had to say earlier about Woodson.

My sleeper at LB. Returning after a year off with a torn pec, should be a 90+ tackle guy with some palymaking stats thrown in.

21.09 Palmer, Carson ARI QB
Wow. I never thought he would drop all the way to here. Many of the fantasy pundits are predicting he will be top ten with the weapons he has. I already have two QBs so why grab a third? There is good potential here. An early injury to Rodgers and he may be my main guy or things go well and he then has good trade value.

21.10 Hester, Devin ATL WR
He may be the third receiver in Atlanta and gets return yardage. He did well last year when he got playing time as a receiver. I needed another receiver since have 2 with same bye date.

21.11 Prater, Matt DET PK
One disadvantage of selecting from the back end of the order is having to pull the trigger earlier (otherwise I would be left behind in some positions to be filled); when I finally realized I need the kicker most of the elite ones had been off the board; regardless, Prater should remain a good pick considering the offense he play for at a relatively easier venue; thought about getting Justin Tucker here but he just disappeared several picks before my turn.

Just taking a shot here. I keep reading Williams will be the starter by the end of the season. I don't know about that but its worth a shot this late in the draft.

Filling out the last starting DB for my squad. I’ve had him ranked near the top of my DB list for several rounds. Nothing special, though, Averaged about 7 ppg last year.

22.01 Mariota, Marcus TEN QB
My backup QB. If Mariota plays any week other than Luck’s bye week, I’m probably I trouble. I seriously considered going without any backup QB, but decided not to tempt fate.

Handcuff for Lamar Miller. He seems to be pretty established as the #2 in Miami. If that changes, he will be dropped.

22.03 Fleener, Coby IND TE
Fleener has Luck as a QB and that's the only reason I drafted him. Just have to wait and see if this pans out but I'm not expecting much. I put off my TE's too long in this draft and I'm sure I will be starting someone off the waiver wire before too long. Fleener has shown promise at times but Dwayne Allen will surely get the majority of the targets.

22.04 Tulloch, Stephen DET LB
He appears fully recovered from the injury suffered from the sack celebration (!); chose him to rotate with other backers of my team (especially Alonso); should be having no problem returning to 100+ tackles with few more sacks.

22.05 Marks, Sen'Derrick JAC DT
Decided needed another DE/DT since mine have early bye weeks. He had a good year for DT and seemed better than the DE on the board currently. He is coming off injury but was apparently not put on PUP/reserve, so hopefully will be getting up to speed by time bye week happens.

RB insurance, not counting on injury to AP, but he is older and will probably see a few less touches. nice handcuff here.

The Bills are supposedly trying to trade him. Bu the still has burst. If traded, he might end up blooming. If not, he might get a chance to show his stuff Week One if the other backs aren't healthy.

22.08 Anthony, Stephone NOS LB
Knew I didn't like what I had now to cover my IDP Flex spot, and wanted to take an LB here. Originally was looking at earlier, but took Lambo in round 20.
Had him as the #27 IDP in my rankings, so was a no brainer to take him here.

22.09 Parker, DeVante MIA WR
After learning that LaFell is going to miss the first 6 weeks (at least), I decided to take another WR. Parker seemed to have the most upside of the group of WR's left. Considered Janis or Malcom Floyd, I I decided that Parker has the most upside, with the clearest shot at playing time. Also figure that there's some very good run defenses in the AFC East, so Miami will have some nice passing matchups. Probably overthinking it, but we'll see.

22.10 Sanchez, Mark PHI QB
With Bradford's injury history, I wanted to have his backup on my team. I targeted picking Sanchez in Round 22, was glad Bradford did not get injured in a preseason practice, and Sanchez was still available.

For my back up tight end I wanted someone who was reliably on the field. Miller is an every down pass catching TE so he fits that bill.

22.13 Foles, Nick STL QB
I wasn't sure I absolutely needed a backup QB here. With Brees not on bye until week 11, I originally figured I could wait until closer to that time to grab someone off of the waiver wire. I ended up chickening out on that because I know the waivers are so competitive in this league and there won't be a good opportunity to grab a real sleeper. Foles was a top 5 fantasy QB just two years ago. I know a lot has changed since then, but hopefully he has a good year.

22.14 Conley, Chris KCC WR
Georgia WR rookie that has been lighting it up in K.C. during pre-season. WR2 now I saw on a depth chart. If you remember, he was the one that set all kinds of NFL Combine records this year. Really smart guy also and a Star Wars geek! :)

23.01 Alexander, Kwon TBB LB
Tampa Bay in their growing pains at the moment, but the rookie landed the starting role. As bad as the Tampa Bay offense is, that means this guy is going to be on the field a lot and making a lot of tackles. I think this is a great pickup late in the draft.

23.03 Vaccaro, Kenny NOS S
I set this queue up before the news of cuts and trades came out Saturday night. This would have been Christine Michael if I had known he was traded when I set it up.

That said I need a backup safety just in case Chancellor's holdout goes into the regular season. Vaccaro only had 52 solo tackles last season, but he's supposed to spend more time in the box this season and he even saw some time playing a "slot corner-linebacker" hybrid in training camp. That should lead to more tackles.

23.06 West, Terrance TEN RB
Timing was on my side for this pick. In the same article that I learned about LaFell being PUP'ed, I also learned that Terrance West and Christine Michel were traded to much more favorable situations. With only one pick between the news coming out, and my selection, I put them 1,2 in my queue. I think Michael probably has the most upside/talent, but is also in a more crowded situation in Dallas with Randle, Dunbar, and McFadden to deal with (and leap in the depth chart). West has much less talent to deal with in Sankey (terrible) and Cobb (hurt), and given that Sankey is currently my RB3, he'll serve as a bit of a handcuff for me. West had some good weeks last season for Cleveland, so hoping for some 23rd round magic this season.

23.07 Michael, Christine DAL RB
This became more of an opportunity pick. When the trade was announced I was close to picking and added him to the top of the queue. Not 100% sure what his PT will look like, but he could have a shot at having a lot more PT than he would have got and that is a great O-Line to run behind.

23.08 Lewis, Dion NEP RB
In the interests of keeping the draft moving I selflessly queued up before leaving for Church, even knowing that it would be in my selfish interests to wait until after NFL waivers went through to pick.

ence I missed out on Christine Michael. I" hope he bombs.

Lewis seems to be the third-down back in New England. Could lead the team in touches in Week One they say."

23.09 Latimer, Cody DEN WR
How many times will Peyton throw to him? He may start quick and fade, be solid all year, or grow with the season. in all cases the upside is too great to ignore this late in the draft.

23.10 Catanzaro, Chandler ARI PK
Needed one of these but not excited about any. Althugh he had a good year last year, his presesason has not been very good. I think the Aizona offense will be better this year so he should have opportunities if he can convert.

Parker had a fairly solid back half of 2014, and he is currently playing SS for the Chiefs. While Eric Berry continues to recover from cancer, Parker should offer stable production until something better presents itself on the waiver wire.

This was from a queue, as I was out all afternoon. Had I heard that James Jones was just signed by the Packers, I’d have taken him instead.

24.01 Beasley, Cole DAL WR
I’d have taken Christine Michael if he had still be around, but no such luck. So Beasley was selected from a list of WRs that have as much chance of being dropped (by my team) as they do of ever cracking my starting lineup.

Consider this pick a bet against Davante Adams. James Jones was had more yards as Green Bay’s WR3 in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 than Adams did last year. I see a real possibility that Jones gets up to speed quickly establishes himself second in the pass-catching pecking order.

Drafting Bolden because he might start week one and I'm still not sure who my RB2 will be week one. Since I have Blount and he is suspended the first week It will either be Bolden or McFadden.

24.04 Johnson, Chris ARI RB
with David Cobb out until after week 10, I was kind of forced into buying another insurance; not going to be CJ2K anymore but he may push for some snaps from Ellington as the latter seemingly could not handle more than 15 run plays and could be in for more given Ellington being relatively fragile in the past.

24.05 Cunningham, Benny STL RB
Another flyer at RB and will see how the first week shakes out as there are injury questions for Tre Mason and Gurley. He was certainly okay last year when playing regularly. I also learned "cannot have too many running backs" to start with as a competitor mentioned the first year I played Rotoguru. That year, I played the first 5 weeks with a dreadful M. Drew jones, Jac. rogers, Stephan Taylor, and denard Robinson as my main running backs until LeVeon Bell came back from his rookie injury. Needless to say I started 0-10 that year.

Well, at least when I timed out I still had my top guy at the top of My Draft List. If Quick isn't the #1 receiver in St Louie, likley Britt will be. Who knows who Foles will connect with?

24.08 Taylor, Tyrod BUF QB
This is probably a real flyer and imagine I will not keep 3 QBs for very long. Decision on whether he goes or Dalton goes will probably be answered in the first two weeks.
This was another case of seeing he was still there and not feeling really impressed with any other moves, decided to go this route.

24.09 Barrington, Sam GBP LB
Was going to take Sam Barrington in the 23rd round, before I heard of the West/Michael news, so was happy to take him in the 24th. He'll provide me with some LB depth, and as a 3 down linebacker in GB should see plenty of tackle opportunities. I've seen him show up on a few IDP sleeper lists, and if he's good enough to push Clay Matthews back to his OLB/Rush role, there will be plenty of points/tackles for him in the middle.

24.12 Perriman, Breshad BAL WR
This pick is a total flyer and I mean that in both connotations of the word. Perriman is crazy fast. Had he not sprained his MCL in camp he'd be getting great press. Right now I'm hoping he comes back in October and starts making big plays for me in November as the stretch run comes. If he doesn't, it's the 24th round, what else would I have gotten a back up DL?

I needed a backup TE because Ertz is such a question mark, and I figured if Ertz is out for any stretch then Celek will be the one getting the snaps so might as well grab him.
