14.01 Kerry Rhodes DB NYJ
Wanted to fill the DB while top tier players are still left. I think Rhodes will have an increase in tackles this year and be a consistent scorer from week to week with the occasional big game potential.

14.03 Heath Miller, TE PIT
With only 3 receivers I feel I need to get another player to fit my flex spot. I had some WR on my radar, but was really happy to see Heath Miller available at this point. I had him producing just as many points as most of the WR available at this point. He's a Big Ben red zone target, whose TD potential is high. I will be able to keep an eye on both Cooley and Miller and use them in matchups (hopefully a good thing, rather than a pain to choose each week).

14.04 Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, NYG
I am the last manager to pick a backup RB, but I don't think that I got the worst one of them. He showed last year what he can do for his team and will be used much more this year. He will get some runs, some receptions and he is still projected to be the kickoff-returner. with the runs and catches he is in the middle of the backup-RB-pack because he is as valuable as a #2 RB can be, but the return yardage is the difference maker here. if he gets me 40yds + 100 return yds = 8pts/game I am satisfied with this pick.

Keeping a good thing going by picking another LB. Jackson is a player who could go either way in '08. If things go well he could be a top 20 linebacker. Or WW fodder. A Whopping 58 LB were picked in this draft. Hopefully, ILB in the Browns 3, 4 D is worth something.

I felt that the trade to Washington would enable Taylor to bounce back to the numbers of his All Pro season of 2006. Later that night he injured his knee in a preseason game. I hope that for his sake, not mine, the injury is minor.

14.10 DeShaun Foster, RB, SF
Probably my pick most deserving of criticism. Handcuff to Gore. Might not have gone for quite a while but in RIFC the last few years it seems somebody is always picking up my handcuffs a round or 2 or 3 earlier than I expect, ticking me off. I've already missed out on Ray Rice (9.07), McGahee's handcuff who may also have returning responsibilities.If Gore goes down I must trust in Martz to use Foster productively. Went at 17.14 in RIFC and I don't mind going a few rounds early for this one.

You know at some point I'm going to have to grab a D and it might as well be now. Most already have one so am in no hurry, but I like Sea and a couple others. Looking at my other needs, I think those guys will drop. Not sure if this is a great pick, but feel fortunate that such a highly rated D by many sites is still here. I'll just grab them then not worry about D anymore.
15.01 Antonio Pierce LB NYG
Looking at my needs and it's basically WR and an IDP. I htink the WRs i'm interested in will fall to me next round. Certainly one of them will. If not, I'll grab someone else. Def. getting one next round--if not two. So I just decided to take the best IDP available. Pierce looks like he may be that guy.

15.05 Kawika Mitchell, LB, Buf
Finally a Bill, someone to cheer even harder for on Sunday. Not ranked as highly as this in most places. But on the weak side, he will grab more tackles than Crowell; hard to tell whether Pozlunsky will "steal" tackles from him. My preferred source considers him a lock for 90-100 tackles, so I was willing to pick him up here. Bye week considerations already starting to affect decisions here. Nothing's more frustrating than having to release a skill player because you have IDPs with identical BYEs and seeing the guy starting for someone else 2 weeks later. Keith Brooking and A.J. Hawk, the next 2 LBs selected I would have been interested in, both have bye week conflicts.

Washington was terrific in 2007 as a kick returner and from the line of scrimmage. He was so much better than Thomas Jones that he probably should have been the starter. If Jones is injured, or if he is as ineffective as last year, while he will not be an every 3 down back, Washington should get most of the carrie

I’m a bit constrained by bye weeks, with this pick, so finding value was not easy, but I hope I’m lucky here. Duckett is certainly the third wheel on his team and may not see significant PT unless one of the others gets injured. However, he has experience as a 3rd down/goal line back and I’m hoping that this is why the Seahawks signed him.

Forced pick or insurance to Graham? I'd say both. A few of the last valueable RBs went off the board the picks in front of me and none of the managers until my next pick has a 2nd backup yet. So I better grab one here. I haven't looked too much at others than Dunn. he will see plenty of touches because it seems that Graham is not the true #1 that I hoped. 6-7ppg even as an insurance is not that bad.

15.12 Dominick Rhodes, RB IND
9 RB were picked between my last pick at 14.03 and this one. Almost all of them were backups. I was in the market even before that run started, as I only had 3 RB at that point. My short list included Bradshaw and Washington, both of whom had been taken. I was pleased to get Rhodes here. From what I understand he's go tthe upper hand at being Addai's backup, and therefore one injury away from being the man on a very productive offense. He's back with the team where he had his greatest success, so I'm hoping to see improvements in attitude and results.
Looking down the draft results perhaps I should've handcuffed Edge at this point, as Hightower went off the board within a couple of rounds.

AJ is the 4th LB on my team, despite having noone in either of my other IDP spots. I really preferred having 4 strong LBs to start each week. That worked well for me last year. It's not necessarily working as well this year, as most of us seem to be stacking up on quality LBs. AJ was the top LB left on my sheet, with a bye week that fit well with the others. It's very possible that he's ready for a breakout year. This assumes he can get over his current ailment in time for the season to start. I'll have to keep a close eye on him as we near week 1.

16.04 Antwaan Randle El, WR, WAS
I am still missing a starting K, D and DL. Nearly all of the available ones are interchangeable from week to week, so I'm once more concentrating on backups. After 2 RBs, WR was the next position to look at. I like players that also return some punts or kicks (see Bradshaw). Randle El is not only a return man he is also a starting receiver. what I can I ask more in the 16th round. he can easily get me 10pts per game and will compete with Nate Burleson for my 3rd receiver slot. his late bye makes him a good replacement when my other WRs have their bye in weeks 4 and 6.
now I hope that not too many defenses are going off the board in the next 20 picks. I'll probably take one then.

Once again, a bye week replacement that plays a specific week’s game at home against an opponent I think/hope they can beat. Certainly better Ds remained on the board at the time of this pick, but at this point I only plan to use them to cover the Viking’s bye week which is only one of 2 weeks with 6 teams on a bye. So one less game to pick from.

The old warhorse returns to my team one more time. Has declined in the past 2 years from
previous production, and at 35 I guess no one is safe, but indications I have seen expect him to be
able to maintain his current level, which will mean 100 tackles. Bye week (10) fits, and makes it
easy to dump him for some young upcoming stud whose bye week has passed earlier on, if

16.14 James Hardy WR BUF
I had been looking at both of these WRs for a long time. Was hoping that someone would take
one of them so I could take the other. Both are #2s.
Hardy came out of college a year early. Not only was he a dominating return man, but a super
WR. He played hoops for a year before deciding to concentrate on football at Indiana. This guy is
tall and can really leap. He's strong as well and has a nose for the football. You never seem to
know how a rookie is going to do and he's also nursing a hammy which seem to take forever to
heal. Since I have my 3 starters already--I don't mind the risk. In the same respect, TJ isn't
100%...same goes for Berrian and who knows what Brown will do. Also Tj and Berrian both are 8
week byes. Hardy could be a sleeper.
17.01 Drew Bennett WR STL
Like 3 years ago Bennett was incredible at times in Tenn. Then boom. Worthless. Now he's the
#2 in StL. Bruce is gone and Bulger loves to throw. By all accounts, Bennett seems to be back.
But there are so many questions. Bennett isn't 100% now and Bulger always seems to be a
mystery lately. Again, at this round, it's worth the risk. If he doesn't pan out--then it doesn't
really matter as I'm sure there will be players on the WW I have to get and someone has to be
thrown back!

17.05 Greg Olsen, TE, Chi
Was planning on waiting longer to pick up a tight end, but, as like last year, managers began
putting pressure on by selecting backup TEs, so I had to take a good look at who was left
and who I was likely to end up with if I literally waited until the end. As many as 8 more could
be selected if people keep picking up backups. Most of these could well be as good as Olsen
this year, but I believe Olsen to have the biggest upside. A former #1 choice, he undoubtedly
has the talent. He shares time with [undrafted tight end] but that doesn't bother me, as it
makes him less likely to be injured while out there trying to do something he can't do. I have
read all kinds of wild stories about things the Bears intenbd to do to get the ball to Olsen
more often. I don't place any hope in them, really -- I rely on the belief that when you have a
sad sad QB situation, the TE is often the only guy he can get the ball to -- and Olsen will do
some things with it when he can catch it.
If Olsen had not been available I would have waited and taken the leavings.

Landry's outlook is entirely dependent on how much opportunity he can find within the

17.11 Tennessee Titans Defense
I really did not know who to pick here because I believe most of the players I like would be
available in the 25th round. That is not true for the defenses. I bet that most of us will draft 2,
which leaves only 4 available on waivers and I don't want one of the crappy ones. so I better take
one here and one in the next round (I hope for TB or BAL). Team defenses are like kickers, there are
a few out there that are in the top10 every year but the top3 are different and are rarely picked
high in drafts. so when I pick a defense low I get the the good one. right?

17.12 Kurt Warner, RB ARI
The "Warner is starting" news hit the websites early on Sunday. I figured that someone in the
next 15 or so picks would take him, but noone did. After getting "stuck" with Garcia in Rd 13, I
was really happy to get a 3rd QB here. My third QB chosen could be my week 1 starter. All three
are injury risks, but hopefully Warner does get the start and can lead his team to a few wins early
in the season to solidify his position. The Cards have a tame early schedule, so that should be
possible. He has lots of potential and lots of weapons, even though he's getting on in years.
This could be a steal or it could be a total bust if Wisenhunt decides to start Leinart just to spite
Chris Mortenson.

the upside of some guys at this spot, but he is the #1 WR on his team. I'm hoping for 750
yards and 6 TDs out of him. Last year he had 750/2, but he's coming along. Others I had
considered here were Jerry Porter and Hackett. Gage may be the worst of these 3, or he may
turn out the best.

18.04 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense
after the Titans in round 17 I wanted a 2nd defense here. It was either Baltimore or Tampa.
Don't ask me why I picked Tampa. I expect them to have a better offense than Baltimore, so
their Offense will be on the field more often. as long as your team is on offense your defense
can't get negative points, even in case of a turnover. not much else to say.

18.05 Ben Watson, TE, NE
Major screw up, here. My folks came to visit a few days after this draft started and I was preparing to
go out with them when this pick came up. I was totally distracted and failed to check the bye week of
my other TE. I’m not particularly unhappy about the pick, as Watson often saw single coverage for
easy scoring chances last year. He should again rank in the top-12 fantasy tight ends but is always a
risk to miss games with injuries.

18.06 Adrian Peterson, RB, CHI
This was a no brainer. I found it hard to believe that a back who rushed for 300 yards in a game
in 2007 could drop to the 18th round, but there he was. Back to reality: Matt Forte , my #2 RB is a
rookie and even though I have other RBs to start in his place should he falter, I thought that this
was a necessary handcuff.

18.8 Troy Polamalu
I wanted another DB, but they are mostly equal in terms of points and thus I find them
interchangeable throughout the season. I am hoping that Polamalu rebounds from last year -
staying healthy and attacking the ball. I also lived in PGH for 6 years and PGH is my second
favorite team to root for!

18.11 Shaun Phillips, LB, SD
Merriman gets all the hype, but Phillips is no slouch. I expect double digit sacks and
huge numbers out of him.

18.12 Nate Kaeding K San Diego
I needed a TE, but teams before my next pick had good ones already. I needed a K soon, but I
thought the good ones would go in round 19 so I went with another SD player.

18.13 Bobby Engram, WR, SEA,
If not for being injured the first month of the season he would have gone 10 rounds earlier.
As long as he returns to last years form with 6 catches per game, it will be worth the wait for
an 18th rounder. Plus we have 9 bench spots.

18.14 Terrell Suggs DL BAL
I just have two more spots to fill to complete my starting lineup so might as well do it now. I'm
shocked so many DL have gone already. DL can be such a crap shoot. Suggs wasn't my first
choice. Had like four or 5 others I really liked. Was going to just skip it again, but came acrossed
Suggs in my research. He was franchised as a LB--even though he's played DL. SO that tells me
he is going to play some LB this year which could lead to a big boost in production. I checked
several sites--esp fanball--and most of them have him at DL. CBS has him at LB already. So I
moved him way up in my projections. He's still not as good as the elite DLers who were long
gone probably, but he should be around the top of the DL guys who are left.
