I like this draft. Could potentially use an upgrade at WR in my humble opinion but we'll see how Mike Teel continues to develop. One must think Rutgers becomes more of a passing team this season after losing both RB's Leonard and Rice in the last 2 year's. Lippincott is a beast in the red zone. Chris Ault's squad is getting closer to prime time after 3 successive bowl trips.
Qb's are solid...could move one for a top flight WR if needed.

Thanks Lou. I agree I kinda got short changed in the electronic draft on receivers. 45 secs/pick and I had a 6 year old pulling at her daddys coattails. Some were picked w/o my expressed consent. First year we have done an electronic draft. Any ideas on any sleepers at wr position. I am hoping patrick turner will shine for me this year. I had him when he was a sophmore. I also figure Malcom Lane should get alot of balls thrown his way. We have 12 in the league so pickins were slim down in the draft. A good idea trading QB for good receiver. I have some solid QB's and maybe after season stars someone will be shopping. Thanks again for your input.

with those rankings, must be a CBS league. Let me know how that works for you.

You must have read my K article earlier - love all those guys, but I don't think you need 3, those roster spots you have backup K and D could have been used for depth (or speculation) at other spots.

Your QB is deep, but the other positions feel average to me but Turner and Lane have lots of upside and I really like NW in 2008. You could trade off Locker or Harper for RB/WR and still have 3 to play 2.

You got potential here if QBs work and you can make a deal. Sleeper WRs - Ross Lane (NW), Rodgeriqus Smith (AUB), Britt Davis (NILL) and DeMaryius Thomas (GT).

Here you go: QB (you get an A . . .CJ and Jake are perfect match up partners (if you must go with Jake-which I don't like, at least you have the other QB which exploits his best matchups! I call Holbrook (the championship QB-as his late season string of games will boost your fantasy team late season, in the playoffs!)

RB=A+++ . . . it's a HOME RUN! BANG! Lippincott (my nefew goes to Nevada and has been lifting with Lipp all summer . . .just know he's been working hard and NOT partying this summer! AND ANDERSON of TULANE I have in every single league, and in every draft . . until I secured him . . .I was uneasy . ..once I drafted him, it was a weight off my shoulders! That's how I feel about him! How doesn't he get at a min. 1200y, 12TD (and that is a bad season, LOL)

Jaycen Taylor going down for awhile just added a + to your A as SHEETS (doghouse prone!) now has not much else to steal his carries (the season starts in 10 days, they are gonna rely on Sheets early much more now! I like him as a play BETTER THAN SUTTON! (in general) I don't like Sutton much (too INJ prone and since he enrolled, they became a spread pass team). I think his high rating is insane! Omar Conneth anyone? Be careful with Sutton, and since you don't need him to carry your roster . .. he' s just a bonus . . .E Davis is just fun to look down and see (I hear Eason is gonna be the "feature" -either way both are fantasy fools gold/but fun!)

WR= and now for the bad news D- (half your WR (even considering the depth that must be in your league, are Fantasy CRAP! When unpredicable Britt is your main target . . its "not a good thing 4shor!"
TE= D . . .WELL THEY GET A D because compared to the WR nightmare, they are a half a step UP! WOW, your life will be filled with near ZERO points weekly!
K = A you should be as good as any and better than most here (make up for your TE not being existant, if your lucky!)
DEF = A (we had GONZO draft this exact combo . . AUBURN/UTAH (as I without question, 1 of the 2 will prove to be a top 10 def U, while the other will nearly be-just can't say which one of the 2! LOL

I like UTAH to come into the BIG HOUSE week `1, and leave victorious! But not a fantasy play for you with the TIGERS being served fresh meat Loin-Monroe!

FSU might get you a match up play(nice to have an ACC defense just as an add on! . . .so the group is excellant!)

Concentrate your Free AGENT moves at WR (when my FA periods are over-I'll give you a couple great sleepers that will help raise your grade!) It would be on next wednesday though~

I'm a USC FAN, take TURNER, and bury him deep on your roster! See his stats last year? There you go AT BEST! He just doesn't get open consistantly! Namaan Will treat you far BETTER my friend! M Lane is worth the risk over TURNER! I'd give Ryan Wolfe a shot over turner (OK, I'd have to be REALLY HIGH to do that, and MAD . . .something like a LOSS to Stanford can do that to a guy!) Yeah, bench his ASS! Save your sainity! The minute you start thinking, Turner . . rememeber what I told you . . and go with the other option !

[Neil Young]

A great move for you would be to play Sutton WEEK 1 (anderson starts on a bye week) and if Sutton stats well (it will appear that he will book a ton of stats to everyone) . . .at this point you TRADE him for a STARTING WR! At this point, no one can see that ANDERSON of TULANE is really your starter, and by all stat appearances, Sutton is your 2nd RB (and as High a value as he will be- since your trading him with 3 weak opps left for weeks 2, 3, 4!) Fish this trade after week 1, see what kind of a WR you can STEAL! Accept any WR that you think can get at leat 900-7 TD +! Anyone who loses in Week 1 (find the guy with the worst RB group, seek him as a trade partner!)

[Mark]

Thanks for all the input guys. I will keep all your sage advice as always close to the vest and pull it out when needed. I got caught up in an elctronic draft this year and wasn't ready so I will be calling again throughout the year. Have a great season!!!
