19.01 Stephen Gostkowski K NWE
Man it's kind of early for a Kicker. One is gone already--but I usually leave Ks and DLs to really late. Still, I have the chae to get any K I want but Kaeding and I think Gost is probably the best. May only be good for 1-2 points more per game on average--but who knows?!?! Definitely could have waited. Maybe some NFL news will happen while everyone else is drafting Ks and I can get a lucky break...

19.02 Angelo Crowell, LB, BUFF
Angelo is the highest rated LB I have left on the board. But the 20th or so over all. His bye week doesn't kill me either. This is my 4th IDP. I will have to pick two more starters in the 20th+ rounds. I can usually find a couple guys during the season; so this may not be so bad.

19.05 Jason Wright, RB, Cle
Now that my IDP choices are constrained by bye-week requirements, I'm now starting to look for RBs who may move up to a starting role, ideally pre-season, but if not, later on when the #1 goes down. Having one of these guys can change a season. Admittedly, they mostly seem to emerge suddenly and get picked up off the WR, rather than being guyz who have been held since the beginning, but to me it's worthwhile to grab them now. The last league I won, I grabbed Willie Parker in the last round; a few weeks later he became a starter.
The good thing about Wright is that Jamal Lewis is as likely a high-tier RB as any to be a candidate to flop, through injury or inability. Bruising style, susceptible to injury, had YPCs of 3.4 and 3.6 before his rejuvenation last year.
The bad thing about Wright is that it's not clear that he's very good, even good enough to fend off [undrafted RB] and keep the job if Lewis goes down.
Wright, like anyone else picked up on spec from here on, is a candidate to be dropped early, or even before the season, if there is a new skill position sleeper, or an IDP need.

19.06 JaMarcus
Russell QB OAK I waited way too long to get a backup QB. I think if
you have one of the top 4 QBS you dont need to concentrate much on a
backup becuase he will basically only be for the bye week but if you have
anyone from the 5th QB on you will want to play matchups. So with Romo on
the squad I wasnt real worried about it, but I would have liked to have gotten
someone a little more proven. Hopefully Romo stays healthy and I only have
to use Jamarcus once.

19.07 DJ Hackett WR CAR
I had wanted this guy for a few rounds but had other needs and so was really hoping he would drop to me. He did really well in SEA last year and now that Smith is out for two games in CAR he should be the #1 WR for a while. When Smith comes back, DEF will need to decide whom to cover. DJ has sure hands and can get free pretty easily. My WR corps is now set -- at least for the start of the season!

19.11 Darren Sproles, RB, SD
He is the number 2A in San Diego behind LT. LT will again see a high workload. At least they will try that, but I see Sproles and Hester taking more snaps away than initially expected. This means around 10 touches per game for Sproles. but what I like more, even if he is only one of two backup RBs, he is the main returner for kicks and will see some punts too. as I said earlier when taking Bradshaw and Randle El, I like picking returners.

19.12 Ladell Betts, RB WAS
I opted for another backup RB here. He's shown flashes of brilliance when given the opportunity and that won't be any different if he gets a chance this year. That's a big IF. Portis has managed to stay healthy throughout the past two seasons. If that happens again then this will be a throwaway pick. If not, it could be a monster.
This was another pick mostly for potential at this point. Lucking into a starting RB can really make a fantasy season. Last year I was lucky enough to grab Graham after Williams went down, and he helped a lot down the strech.

19.14 Isaac Bruce WR SFO
Bruce should be the #1 target in SF and even though he's losrt a step he should produce well. I'm not concerned about how much he's played. It seems to me they will just hold him back until the season starts. Rather than gamble on a longshot I think this is a safe pick that will produce good backup numbers for my starters.
20.01 Josh Brown K STL
Never really sure when to take a kicker but I'm not dazzled by anyone left currently and Brown should be a solid top 5 kicker plus he's got dome games when we get to December.

20.03 Robert Mathis, DL IND
I read recently that Mathis will be an every-down player this year, partially due to Freeney's injury. He'll also get to spend more time rushing from the weak side. If he's healthy (I just read a report that he has ankle issue), then he could be in store for a great season. DL is a bit of a guessing game. Hopefully I've made a good guess.

20.04 Cortland Finnegan, DB, TEN
I wanted Bruce as my 5th WR here, but he went 3 picks ahead. damn!
I never heard of Finnegan before, but that is what such deep drafts are all about. Last year he was among the league leaders in tackles at his position with 79. I'm hoping for, but I don't expect, that many tackles this year. what I expect is that he returns some punts this year. that gives him that small extra value that makes him draftable and playable as my first IDP off the bench.

20.05 Adewale Ogunleye, DL, CHI
Just because I don’t care for the Bears D, does not mean I do not like Bears defensive players. Coming off a trip to the Super Bowl, the Bears struggled last year in pretty much all phases. The offense couldn't move the chains and the defense couldn't get off the field. This led to much higher than usual tackle numbers for Ogunleye. It doesn't look like much has changed with the Bears personnel so I expect him to finish with 40+ solo tackles and at least 8 or 9 sacks.

20.10 Kenny Watson, RB, Cin
Took one last look at backup RBs here before looking to another IDP. Rudi Johnson it now seems is apparently real banged up, and not a sure starter. Chris Perry is the putative starter and has a world of potential but there seem to be a lot of doubts about him. Last year, Kenny Watson ended up being the Tigers' surprise best RB this year(763 yards, 4.3 AVG, 7 TDs), and I see no reason why he might not end up as the starter again. This is the last guy I see as a good RB flyer so i'll grab him while he's here.
Kenny went at 14.14 in RIFC so this is at least not a silly pick.

Rolling the dice on this one. I figure between him and Chris Brown, one of them will start one of the weeks sometime this year. Even then, they are just bye week material.
So, I'm probably just compounding a bad situation. Some predictions for Ahman: Miracuously he returns to his old form.........262 carries, 1505 yards, 606 receiving yards, some great blocks.....no points though, 11 TD's

20.14 Ben Utecht TE CIN
These two picks were probably my easiest since LT right of the bat. My WRs are suspect. With our ability to use a TE as a WR, this gives me some protection there as well as a backup TE for KW's bye or injury. Utecht is the 3rd option in a pass-friendly offense. He did well with the Colts even when the Colts were using 3 WRs and 3 TEs a lot. I really think he is a sleeping giant.
21.01 Philadelphia Eagles DEF PHI
I looked at Philly even with my first D. But ultimately it came down to Sea/GB/Tenn/and Philly. I took Seattle then.
I know Philly isn't even rated that highly in some projections, but I liek them. I also looked at the Redskins with this pick. I wanted the ability to rotate Ds based on matchups. Therefore, I could skip a top D and wait on it a little longer than grab two of them. I htink Philly could surprise. They get after it and can rack up some points. They also allow less yards than many others--including Wash.

Most people wait until round 23 to get a kicker. I figured I'd go a couple rounds earlier and get my pick of who I wanted. Except for a few early kicker picks. This guy can boot 50 yarders. I was too lazy to look up if there was a bonus for that. I'm thinking there is. Plus Tennessee's offense seems to bog down a lot and have to kick a FG. Others looked at...Viaitieri....put an n in there someplace, Gould.

OK, no more funning around with RB backups. Need some IDPs now. Avoiding BYE week doubling key. 2 possible choices here: Pace, and Justin Tuck. I like Tuck (21.13) but not his week 4 bye. Don't want a DL with an early bye, requiring me to drop a skill backup for another DL slug. So Pace is it.
Not too old, makes a few tackles and sacks, likely to be playing. Question is how he will do under a new scheme. With a bye week of 5, he can be kept if he starts to star, dropped if he doesn't.

Defense. In retrospect, I probably should have taken Philly in 20 instead of another DB. The DB's are so
even and their points fluctuate so much from week to week it's crazy!

do we know the starting QB in CHI already. I think so, but he is still undrafted. Usually that is not
good for a receiver on that team. So I am throwing my 2nd dart and pick Rashied Davis. It looks
like he is starting and has good chemistry with the new starting QB. I don't know how well that
combo will look in the regular season and how long those 2 will be able to show their talent, but
I would not know that with many other available WRs. lets wait a few games and decide then if
this was a good choice or if he is simply waiver wire fodder.

for me next time. Then it cmae aorund to me again and I thought the same thing. Well he wasn't
going to get back to me again. I feel this guy is a real value pick. He will get plenty of opps and
his INT numbers are high. The Rmas are on D a lot so more chances.
23.01 Deion Branch WR SEA
Branch is out for at least the first few weeks it seems. This could be a wasted pick. But he was
doing well before his ACL injury. It generally takes a full year before the player starts acting like
his old self--if ever. I eh could be out for say the first 6 weeks then come back and produce then
I'm fine with that. Most likely, even if he comes back he won't put up great numbers this season-
-hence the late-round flier.

Rolle is hurt right now and I'm guessing that's why he slid. He has moved to safety which will
put his playmaking skills into effect even more. He could also be a factor in the return game.

23.05 Matt Bryant, PK, TB
They generally say not to pick K's until the last round -- but I'm not sure that advice is
good in IDP leagues. I had to scope around here. 8 gone...6 to go. Want to have different
byes for TE/TeamDef/PK. Other than that, any better than anyone else? Not really, but I
like Bryant's schedule better. All of December in warm weather. And Tampa Bay should
stall in the opposition's half lots this year, making for lots of FGs. I'll keep that last round
pick open for the surprise announcement, "Joe Nobody has just been anointed Team Z's
feature back this year..."

23.07 David Akers K PHL
David had a crappy year last year and he knew it. So he rededicated himself to some kind of
martial arts program to get stronger, especially in his legs. Kickers are hard to pick, but I
do expect the Eagles to score a lot -- but if they score too many TD's, then I won't get the
FG points! In truth, I made this pick in the car and didn't feel like looking up the list of
kickers and I knew that Akers would be no worse than most of the kickers out there!
NB: I seem to have a lot of Eagles on my team this year: Westbrook, Donovan, Booker,
Jackson, Akers, LJ Smith and it may all blow up in my face. Only time will tell, but watching
them up close and reading the papers here, I think the team will have a good year and I
hope that translates into good stats for my fantasy team.

23.09 Chris Hope, DB, TENN
Hope had 121 tackles and 5 INTs in 2006, but his stats fell considerably in 2007 due to
injury. If he returns to preinjury form, he would be one of the top DBs and a real sleeper.

23.11 Keyunta Dawson, DL, DEN
we all need a DL, and after the first few went (too high), all the others are nearly the same, or
otherwise their potential production can not be accurately projected. Dawson was a sleeper of
mine. He looks good in camp, will see lots of plays, he was under the radar because it was not
sure that he will start. I assumed that and got confirmed yesterday. he is the starter. yikes! we
will see if he can perform like expected.

23.12 Hank Baskett, WR PHI
If there's one thing I learned from last year, it's that I won't be able to get many Eagles on my team
when judy's in my league. I'm a big Eagle fan so this is disappointing. Finally I found an Eagle that
I could add w/o feeling like I was overpaying. Baskett has been named as the 2nd wideout while
Curtis is out. This can be his chance to make some noise early in the season. Most likely I won't
need him after week 6, so this fits pretty well for me.
I knew in Rd 21-24 I needed a DEF (21), a DB (22), and a K. This pick was the only one that I was
questioning. I considered a variety of IDPs (My roster is currently only carrying the magic 6), and
even a couple of backup RB (Taylor and Buckhalter). In the end I felt I might be more in need of a
WR than the other positions, so I put my biscuit in the Baskett.

Needed backup QB and took a shot with Ryan. Don't expect a lot but if turns out to be decent
I keep him. If he performs poorly I exchange him for the first guy to show somw promise in
the early season or the first injury replacement.
24.01 Amani Toomer WR NYG
Injured but should be solid for replacement purposes. Always a tough choice deciding which
positions to backup since we only have 9 slots and RB are so sought after several spots go
without backup.

24.03 John Kasay, K CAR
WIth only a kicker required, I first looked at Crosby, who I thought was available.
Unfortunately, Dror had snatched him up after he missed his Rd 23 pick. That left me looking
at Reed and Kasay primarily. I opted for Kasay because of his later bye week and more kicker-
friendly schedule.

24.04 Phil Dawson, K, CLE
and finally a kicker. I thought about not going with a kicker a round ago but decided otherwise,
so I went DL, K with my last 2 picks.
Interesting is that Dawson is pretty high on some of the projections out there in the www.
getting a top-kicker is not predictable. we are getting told this every year and every year a few
kickers get drafted too early and every year those top-kickers are not so top come playoff time.
we will see if I got lucky with Dawson.

24.06 Aaron Schobel, DL, BUF
Another sleeper?? Schobel had 12 sacks in 2005 and 14 in 2006. Injuries to Buffalo's defensive
line meant frequent double teaming resulting in only 6.5 sacks last year. Buffalo signed Marcus
Stroud in the off season, and his presence should enable Schobel to return to his sack totals of
previous seasons.

I don't know a thing about him, except that he is a MLB in the mid range for tackles (~87 the last 2
years). And he plays for AZ who could be on defense a lot. Probably will be dropped when I need
bye week subs unless he proves to be a stud before then!

24.10 Chris Taylor, RB, Hou
This slot was saved for a DL, what as I don't have none and will get 0 points every game all season if I
don't start one in games. This would probably substantially hurt my playoff chances.
However, after I had set up my queue with DLs, 2 sources reported that this Taylor guy, who is
reportedly a running back of some kind, on Houston's roster, could well end up as the starter in
Houston, with Ahman Green or Chris Brown or both being released. The most likely beneficiary of
these developments, rookie Steve Slaton, had already been grabbed at 13.13. This Taylor fellow was
taken at 21.09 in RIFC, which was running about 3 rounds behind us, so one of the big boys must
have seen the same types of reports that I had.
One of my many backup RBs will have to be released (or traded to someone who wants a handcuff --
hint, hint) before Opening Day, but since this league has been run so smoothly, I can wait till next
week before deciding who I choose to release and which of the many competent DLs around I decide
to pick up to score the typical DL 4 tackles and 1 sack.

Porter had his glory days in a 3-4 defense scheme with Pittsburgh. Joey definitely has to be

24.14 Antonio Pittman RB STL
Reaching here. Planned to take Buckhalter here but he went off before me. I guess with all the other RBs
taken that people wouldn't be taking yet another RB in the last round, but they did. It's a smart move--
esp. if they don't need another position. Might as well take a shot. Here I'm just looking for a #2 if possible
in case of an injury. Pittman is the only #2 I could find left, so I grabbed him. Could be WW fodder soon.
