Apollyon 0 Posted August 30, 2007 NFL.com/CBSSportsline private league draft. I drafted 10th out of 12 teams. Here's how it ended up: QB -- Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers RB -- Willie Parker, Deuce McAllister, WR -- Larry Fitzgerald, Donte Stallworth, Jerry Porter TE -- Antonio Gates K -- Josh Brown DST -- Baltimore Ravens Bench: Cadillac Williams LenDale White Matt Jones Isaac Bruce Overall I was pretty pleased, but I'm a little concerned about WR/RB depth. Rivers just kinda fell in my lap in Round 8 and I took him figuring at worst I'd have a stellar backup and at best I could use him in a trade to improve RB or WR. As a side note, there were only three of us actually at the draft. Not only did we complete all 14 rounds in less than an hour, but some of the autodrafts were hilarious (can you say Vick in the 10th round?). One team took Roethlisberger at 6th overall and followed up with Vinatieri in the second round. I'm guessing they were rather inexperienced at FF Anyway, any feedback is much appreciated. Leave me a link and I will respond in kind. Edit: updated with acquisition of Jerry Porter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MWalsh26 0 Posted August 30, 2007 WR3 could be a problem for you, but I expect Matt Jones to have a good year and Brandon Jones could come on too. I think you need to slot Caddy in as a starter ahead of Deuce, but he is a great #3. And like the other guy said see if you can send rivers somewhere in exchange for depth at WR, with a stud like Brady you should be able to plug someone in on the week of NE's bye and be set the rest of the way.

Apollyon 0 Posted August 31, 2007 I'm considering offering Rivers, McAllister and Bruce for Travis Henry and Burress to the guy who took Vick in the autodraft. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny_P 0 Posted August 31, 2007 I would've said quite good, but since so many were auto-drafting, I'd say merely decent. Depending on how badly the ADer screwed up, the other people who were at the draft could be loaded. WR and RB depth is a little suspect, but you're set at the other positions. With Gates and Ravens, you have clear #1 and one of clear best 2 at their positions, which is worth a lot. But I think you sacrificed a too much depth in WR/RB to do that, but that's just my opinion. Good luck this year! -JP NFL.com/CBSSportsline private league draft. I drafted 10th out of 12 teams.

DJT 0 Posted August 31, 2007 I agree on the WR/RB depth. You definately could trade either QB for some help at either WR or RB. You don't need top QB's as much as you need RB and WR. Make a trade with someone who did the autodraft, maybe the guy that got Vick LOL. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apollyon 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Offered the trade above (Rivers/McAllister/Bruce for Vick/T.Henry/Burress). We'll see how that goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollyon 0 Posted September 2, 2007 Just saw that somebody dropped Jerry Porter, so I dropped Brandon Jones to pick him up (waivers clear tonight so I'll know for sure...I'm #3 in the order). If it clears, I'll start Porter instead of Bruce as my #3 WR. If my trade goes through I will be ecstatic with my team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poloc2289 0 Posted September 2, 2007 I don't mind your RB's as much as I do your WR's. Your WR's are deplorable. Maybe package Rivers with someone to pickup a decent WR http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=283376 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrgymrat 0 Posted September 2, 2007 I think your RB's are servicable but I would agree that a trade of Rivers fo a better WR would be the best move. (I am in the same boat and trying to trade Rivers for Vincent Jackson). Seems like the best move. --- Thx for answering mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cretins 21 Posted September 2, 2007 Another player that isn't listed in your draft is Patrick Crayton. Glenn may be slow off the start, so you may get a couple of serviceable weeks from Crayton. Sep 2 Head coach Wade Phillips indicated after Saturday's practice that Glenn (knee) would be brought along slowly, and wouldn't necessarily start in Week 1, the Dallas Morning News reports. Recommendation: "I think we'll bring him back slowly as far as Monday is concerned," Phillips said. "It just depends on how he feels. We'll see how much team [practice] we want to do with him on Monday. I expect by Wednesday he would be pretty close to practicing." Glenn's rehab has gone well, however, and we expect him to be ready for the season opener. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emoney045 0 Posted September 3, 2007 i like your starters. willie will be a stud and duece will surprise some people. bench is weak but with lendale starting he could be a solid back. i think u should trade rivers and caddy or something for an upgrade at wr2 and maybe another rb. heres mine here mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalie 2 Posted September 3, 2007 Yeah, WR and esp RB are a little.....RB depth could improve if White does end up #1 in Tenn. Good trade bait with Rivers. Mine, http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=283660 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreddieMercury 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Thanks for answering mine. I'm not seeing the same depth problems that everyone else sees here. Caddy's a nice sleeper who should become a good RB2 for you, with the improvements Tampa has made to their offense. Are you starting 2 QBs? If you are, I'd hold my hand for a couple of weeks (take the trade off the table, if you still can), and see how your players start performing before making any deals. If you're only starting one, maybe trade Brady or Rivers and Porter for a solid lower-tier QB and a WR upgrade, if you're still nervous about it. But I don't see any pressing need to mess with this team right now -- you done good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enricopulazzo 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Your depth at receiver, including the Porter pick up, is fine. I wouldn't worry about it. Your RB situation, with Deuce splitting carries, could be a headache but you have Caddillac on the bench and I expect him to have a much better season than last year. Your team looks solid. Thanks for answering mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollyon 0 Posted September 3, 2007 Thanks for your feedback, everyone. I'm going to leave the trade open since I only start 1QB. If they take it, I'll have a great #2 RB and more depth at WR, and if need be I could turn that around later and grab a better WR. If they don't I'm not hurting all that bad.
