Didn’t draft a RB til 4th round…LOVE IT! Seriously…

After 4 rounds i feel good with:

1. D. Williams - I don’t expect his numbers to fall to far this year. I love the value at No. 8.

2. G. Jennings - Really wanted a RB here, but they were falling fast. I was happy to see Jennings here with the top 4 receievers already gone.

3. R. Brown - I strongly considered Kevin Smith here. This kid has a great work ethic and a lot of talent. I chose to opt for Brown, I look for him to really play well this year.

4. T. Gonzalez - With WR’s flying off the board and Witten gone, I opted for my 2nd rated TE. He should put up WR2 numbers.

As expected, after 4 rounds there are some solid teams here.

Sitting with:

1. Calvin Johnson
2. Reggie Wayne
3. Aaron Rodgers
4. Larry Johnson
5. Ahmad Bradshaw

Wanted Jennings in 2nd round and Ocho Cinco in 5th, but it didn’t happen…

Team looks like this through 6:
1. Tomlinson
2. Jacobs
3. Housh
4. Warner
5. Willie Parker
6. Anthony Gonzalez

I know everyone thinks Parker is done for but being from Pittsburgh I can tell you first hand the team plans to run him until his wheels fall off. Mendenhall won’t steal many carries and Parker will have a good year. The the team will let him go in free agency.

Not thrilled with my WR’s, but it could be worse.

Waiting 23 picks between is brutal…Runs on positions will start and end and I’m not getting involved…At least I got Adrian Peterson

QB: Peyton Manning
RB1: Adrian Peterson
RB2: Marshawn Lynch/Lendale White
WR1: Steve Smith
WR2: Bernard Berrian
TE: Antonio Gates

I’ve unfortunately had to reach for players because I don’t want to get the short end of the stick, and have deviated away from my aforementioned strategy about getting possesion receivers; 0 for 2 on that category so far.

Just added DeSean Jackson and Matt Ryan. Giving me:

D. Will
G. Jennings
R. Brown
Gonzo
D. Jackson
Ryan

I am happy so far. I do have some bye week issues week 4, but nothing terrible, but I need to be careful.

With tightends flying off the board I was able to grab a few qb’s in rounds 6 and 7. Cutler and Palmer should serve well as a commitee for my team. I am feeling very good about the draft so far.

Team through 6 Rounds. It’s shaping up I can’t say I am jumping for joy about it but I like the core thus far…

Andre Johnson
Brian Westbrook
Darren McFadden (got my guy I think McFadden has a huge season and cements himself as a 1st rounder in 2010. We shall see)
Dwayne Bowe (debated between Bowe and Witten but couldn’t take Witten this early - as I feel he is worthy of a start of the 5th round pick)
Knowshon Moreno
Hines Ward (good possession receiver that will get me 6-10 points per week as my WR3 which is what I always target in a WR3)

Quarterbacks started to fly off the board but unless I get my hands on Brady, Brees, Manning or Rodgers I usually wait until the 7th / 8th round to get my QB and take the QBBC approach in which I play match-ups on a weekly basis. We will see what falls to me at the end of round 7 and the start of round 8.

Team through 8:
1. Tomlinson
2. Jacobs
3. Housh
4. Warner
5. Parker
6. Gonzalez
7. Darren Sproles
8. Derrick Mason

Had to reach to get LT’s backup because I had a good feeling someone would be taking him shortly. Like Mason falling to me in the 8th. He is basically the only receiving option in Baltimore.

...and damn proud of it!

Contrary to popular belief, you can wait on RBs and still have a solid team…

Could be better after 8 rounds, but I can work with this.

D. Will
G. Jennings
R. Brown
Gonzo
D. Jackson
M. Ryan
K. Walter
L. Coles

WR is a strength, but thin at RB, they keep falling off the board before I take them. Should have taken F. Jones, Sproles or D. Brown instead of Walter.

After 10 rounds:

QB - M. Ryan
RB - D. Will
RB - R. Brown
WR - G. Jennings
WR - D. Jackson
WR - K. Walter
TE- Gonzo
D/ST - G-Men
B - L. Coles
B - E. Graham

I am still pretty happy. Could have used depth at RB, but with starting 3 WR I am pretty happy.

Not a great 8-9 as my server timed out, but I did grab a solid RB 4 in julius Jones. Brett Favre really wasn’t wanted but I would of been stuck with him anyways. It still gives me awesome qb depth now and solid RB depth.

Update, now I have done 10 and 11 and grabbed Chester Taylor a solid RB as a RB5 and someone who would skyrocket if AP gets hurt (or awesome trde bait if he does) and Mushin Muhammad as my WR3. My depth on my bench is making me happy.
