Wow, don't need to be cruel but I think you need a lot of help. McNabb is a good pick but I still am not sold on Jackson or McGahee. WR's are also suspect. TE's Winslow is a risk. Over all I see a lot of risk with little chance of reward but what do I know. Please see mine??

Im not sold either, but im not sold on anyone to be honest after the top 3.

lets look at positives first: McNabb, Steven Jackson, McGahee, Bear's D, Wayne-DJax combo should be very good.

negatives: unless this is a keeper league, get rid of White and Winslow. Get rid of the Rams defense either way. Pick up some WR help. Not a bad team, but get rid of the deadweight and you'll be better.

yeh rams are gone, you have to draft 2 DEF in this league. Should i pick up another WR?

[cavern 70]

thanks for your reply, btw.

 

i think it really matters whether you have a flex spot or not. if not: i like your starters. if yes: then you really need to be able to start 3 rb's so you really need addai to grab the starting gig early, (or lendale white for that matter).

 

if you win your league it'll probably be something along the lines of: you stay at .500 for the first half the season, and then ride a huge second half surge from addai.

 

so, don't get impatient and drop addai when he does nothing the first few games

yeh no flex in this league. SJAX and mcgahees bye are week 7 and 8 so i shouldnt have to worry bout startingf addai or white very much the 1st 2 months.

RB 1 (#8) Jackson, Steven (RB STL)

RB 2 (#17) McGahee, Willis (RB BUF)

I understand S Jackson as first pick, but I think you should have gotten a Top WR (Smith/Holt/Fitz/Johnson) with pick #2 and get a McGahee-TYPE of RB in round 3, or wait on RB, take another WR (like Ward/Chambers) and then any of these with 4th pick - ALL who will be within 1 point per game of McGahee's IMO:

 

Willie Parker

Corey Dillon

Warrick Dunn

Chester Taylor

Jamal Lewis

Reuben Droughns

 

QB 3 (#32) McNabb, Donovan (QB PHI)

McNabb was too early here and I think this is the pick that throws your draft off.

 

I think if you are drafting late in a 12 teamer this year you have to STRONGLY consider abandoning the RB-RB tactic that has worked the past few years - the drop off is just too big between Big3RBs --> Portis/Tiki --> every other confirmed non-RBBC.

 

Having a RB corp of S Jackson+Lewis and WRs Fitz/Ward/Glenn (for example) + Green is not a bad team to field every week for 12 team leagues.

others?

Just lookin at old posts. This team is 5-0 right now and in breakdown its 55-0. Look pretty much the same. Should i upgrade at WR? Or stand pat?
