(Blatently stolen from RIFC, hope they don't mind :-P) You are each invited (although not required) to post your general reflections on the completed draft. Comments may be as detailed or as general as you wish. As a catalyst, free free to comment on any of the following:
1. What was your plan/strategy entering the draft? Were you able to execute as you had planned?
2. What were your favorite picks? Which do you wish you could do over?
3. Looking over all of the teams, which ones do you like the most (other than your own)?
4. What surprised you most about the draft?
5. If you could start over, would you do anything differently?
Non-managers are also welcome to post general comments on the draft, and to raise questions. Here's the rosters so you can comment on the other teams:

Ah, cool! Completely missed this one until today.
1. Same thing it is every year--find value, wherever it is. Oh, and don't get fined.
2. The more I hear and see this preseason, the more I think Calvin Johnson is going to be a steal at $14. I think Cotchery could also be a good buy at $9. Brady at $40 is a risk only if he gets hurt (which, he already is, sort of).
Do-overs: Earnest Graham at $37 is the only one that makes my gut wrinkle a little bit every time I look at it. If he does what he's supposed to, it'll be fine, but I've just got a bad hunch.
3. I think Frick has a solid roster overall. Wiggs does too, though that WR/RB slot is going to need a little bit of luck for a few weeks: Brees at $22 was probably the steal of the draft, high-dollar division. Scarecrow has a solid team, and Golffreak has a potentially scary roster if everyone stays healthy.
4. How annoyingly good most of you are. In most auction drafts, people blow half their money in the first three rounds. Not here. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise... but there were a few bargains to be had early on.
5. Not a whole lot. Maybe I'd have said Brady $32 instead of Brady $40 (though, as it turns out, with Manning at $38, $40 was about right) ;) .

steal of the draft, could turn out to be K Watson for $2. With the recent publicized concerns re Rudi (looking like I made the worst buy of the draft there), Watsons value should skyrocket.
