Tried something a little different and ended up with a pretty good team, thoughts?
I lost connection after the Roethlisberger pick.
1. Andre Johnson (Hou - WR)
2. Reggie Wayne (Ind - WR)
3. Sidney Rice (Min - WR)
4. LeSean McCoy (Phi - RB)
5. Jonathan Stewart (Car - RB)
6. Jay Cutler (Chi - QB)
7. Michael Bush (Oak - RB)
8. Thomas Jones (KC - RB)
9. San Francisco (SF - DEF)
10. Ben Roethlisberger (Pit - QB)
11. Rob Bironas (Ten - K)
12. Dustin Keller (NYJ - TE)
13. Devin Thomas (Was - WR)
14. Mohamed Massaquoi (Cle - WR)
15. Jermaine Gresham (Cin - TE) |

| Wide receiver heavy, that's for sure. I like this team though I think you're thin at RB (quality) and Cutler is a major risk at QB. If Jones continues to play well and Cutler bounces back, I think this is a decent team. |

If Cutler can cut down on his INTs and Martz' offense takes in Chicago Cutler could be a pretty good pick. He had 27 TDs last year and 3700 yards. Nice to have Roethlisberger in the back pocket though. Thinking I will wait on QB this year if I do not draft Rodgers early
Stewart rushed for over 1100 yards and 10 TDs. He may push DeAngelo for more playing time. Really banking on Michael Bush to take the RB job in Oakland. Jones is definitely a wild card. McCoy should do pretty well in a PPR format.
Did 2 mock drafts yesterday and there are alot of RBs to be had later in drafts. |

What are the lineup rules? What spot was this out of? That would certainly help an analysis. But even if it's a league that requires you to start 3 WRS, I wonder if you might have gone overboard. And you know I am a proponent of going with WRs early. McCoy as a RB1 really scares me. I don't see him as being anywhere near what Westbrook was a few years ago. I like Cutler primarily in leagues that don't penalize for INTs. I play in one of those, and he'd be a great pick.

Typical Yahoo format: 3WRs, 2 RBs, QB, TE, K and D. My local league penalizes -2 points for INTs so Cutler is definitely a gamble but I am not necessarily sold on him but Ryan, Flacco, Palmer were all taken with in the same round so there opportunity there to draft some one else. But with Martz Cutler does have upside. Drafted at the 9 spot were I will be drafting in the local league.
Heck it was a mock, great time to try something different. But having 3 1000 yard WRs is nice followed up with the RBs I think could prove valuable this season. I play in PPR so McCoys 50-60 receptions add up too.
In the latest magazine I have read Stewart is projected at 1400 plus(rushing and receiving), 12TDs; McCoy is projected for 1600 yards and 6 TDs; Thomas Jones at 900 yards, 8TDs; and maybe I am a little high on Bush, he is projected at 700 yards and only 2 TDs but with the additions of Campbell and Hue Jackson I can see him hitting those numbers pretty easy. |

All of those projections seem very high -- especially for Stewart. Remember, DeAngelo had just 19 carries over the final 5 games due to injuries. Stewart got 52% of his total yards and 40% of his TDs during that time. CBS has him at 1100 and 8 TDs. McCoy 1600 total yards? Doubt it. CBS has him at 1,200. Jones: CBS has him at 789 and 6. I expect Charles to be the guy in KC. |

Total yards or rushing yards only? I combined rushing and receiving. That is just one publication, usually I combine all the magazines I buy to get a better idea of players value. |

Those are total yard projections. |

Interesting. Like I said I will take a look at the other mags.
Other RBs that can be had later are Brandon Jacobs Ahmad Bradshaw and to a lesser extent Forsett. What are you thoughts on waiting on 1 RB slot and drafting 1 or both of these RBs for the Giants or the probable starter for Seattle? |

I like the idea ... especially when it works out.  I think Forsett could be one of those RBs, but I would hope to have two solid options at RB ... in case my hunch in the later rounds doesn't pan out.
I need to mock to see how late some of these backs are falling. |

| Yeah i am just trying to figure out the difference this year between solid and hunch. Right now I am not seeing much of a difference at 1.09 and 3.09 or even 5.09 for RBs. So long as I hit on 2 of them. |

I haven't mocked yet, so you're ahead of me. But I just read that Carroll loves Forsett and he's going to be the guy. I think JJones has proven he's pedestrian. Forsett could be great value in the middle rounds. |

That's all the more reason to wait. ESPN's Berry is advocating waiting and just acccumulating a stable of RBs: "We get 16 slots in an ESPN standard league, right? I want you to wind up with a roster that has one quarterback, one tight end, one defense and one kicker. And yes, 12, count 'em, 12 combined running backs and wide receivers."
I might do that, except that I am going to draft a backup QB.

I have been preaching this since maybe my 2nd season of FFB. And agree the QB is what you want, I am thinking Roethlisberger.
I like to draft D, K with late byes so you can figure out the other situations. This year I am liking the 49ers defense alot, think their bye is week 9. |

For what it's worth, Forsett had a great game against USC during his senior year and almost led Cal to an upset. Carroll undoubtedly remembers that (and the way Forsett ran that entire year).
I really like Forsett and hope he does well. |

He apparently was paying more attention to that than to what was going on in his own program.  |

1. Randy Moss (NE - WR)
2. Ryan Grant (GB - RB)
3. Sidney Rice (Min - WR)
4. Jonathan Stewart (Car - RB)
5. Dwayne Bowe (KC - WR)
6. Brent Celek (Phi - TE)
7. Joe Flacco (Bal - QB)
8. Steve Slaton (Hou - RB)
9. Mason Crosby (GB - K)
10. Brett Favre (Min - QB)
11. Eddie Royal (Den - WR)
12. Malcom Floyd (SD - WR)
13. Laurence Maroney (NE - RB)
14. Cincinnati (Cin - DEF)
15. Donald Brown (Ind - RB) |

| Forsett went in RD10 of ESPN's mock. Gosh, I sure hope he's around in RD10 of my drafts. |

How in the world did you get Favre in RD10? It's obvious now that he's coming back. That's robbery. I have him 3 spots ahead of Flacco. I like the first four picks, but Crosby in RD9 has me scratching my head. Every year, there are kickers on waivers who are outscoring guys like Crosby. Brown in RD15 is quite the bargain. I'd have taken him ahead of Maroney. |

| I had Favre picked at 9 and some how ended up with Crosby...lost connection, not sure. Favre was a top 5 QB last year I believe. |
