im in a fantasy league in NFL.com i chose the name gang green with a green lantern logo: this is my team if you have a response let me know what you think. QB- carson palmer/chad pennington RB's thomas jones/jerius norwood-falcons/reggie bush WR's andre johnson-texans/mark clayton-ravens/jerricho cothery/brandon jones-titans TE's todd heap-ravens/randy Mcmicheal-rams DST jets/seahawks K jason hanson
Indeed. Recievers are suspect as well, it all depends on whether or not Clayton has as good a year that I think he will.
12 team league so i chose palmer first, and only one other person chose a QB which was peyton so i thought QB's are important. RB's were chosen in the first round, in the second i chose reggie bush i felt of what was left he was my pick, in that round they all picked WR's. they were good drafters out of 12 i was like 8th to pick. in 2002 i chose a superbowl team and lost by 2 points in a team almost like this one. i pick brandon jones because he could be vince youngs number one target, bush because he will be running, catching, and doing some returns, all chances to score, thomas jones because we always run good especially now, jerius because he will be the first string in atlanta until week 3 and thats all who was left that i thought can make an impact for 3 weeks, i chose pennington because he was one of the last QB's who can be seriously accurate when he gets in the red zone, ofcourse he is my backup, and andre johnson is a consistent wr and he was the best one left i thought in the third round. clayton from the ravens because he had a decent year last year, this is his third year so he could explode, and have that second year chemistry with mcnair. my TE's are very good, to maybe trade of them in a bundle for a player i need later on, the defense i chose the jets first because kerry is going to be better second year in a 3-4 the signing of revis, our secondary is up to par, and our dline is that much better than last year, miller on special teams can break one or two, we will have a decent amount of sacks, at that point in time i had to chose from other teams that cant really score on special teams so jets, then the last bunch the seahawks i thought had a better chance of doing good considering the division they play in, and having a very good dline last year keeping them and adding patrick kerney, i think i did fine, brandon jones is a sleeper he has good hands good size, our jones you guys are sleeping on him, WR's cothery will be catching alot of balls this season so will be clayton, and you know about andre johnson. you guys have to see it like this, dont compare the talent of the recievers thats on the board, but find a player you know they are good and compare them to teams they play in the division. the obviously comes what target number they are etc...
I love Palmer, but not in the first round and you've got tremendous bust potential from your RBs, with Thomas Jones the only person likely to get the majority of the carries (and with Leon, even that isn't certain).
Palmer in the first is terrible, terrible value. You could have most likely gotten him two rounds later.
i think it depends on the scoring also - if passing td's are worth 6 pts, that certainly raises the value of qb's.
its six points for touchdowns, by the time the second round got here all the good Qb's were gone, it also depends on how your other drafters draft players.
by the time the second round came i was 8th to pick and all the good QB's were gone peyton went in the first round. so thats why i got palmer in the first.

That's honestly one of the worst draft boards I've ever seen. I should have stopped reading after I saw Benson go #3 overall. But no, I kept reading and noticed that LJ went to #8 - can't even fathom what was going through these people's minds passing him up. Brady and Palmer were reaches in the first - your argument of "how other people are drafting" doesn't hold up since you basically started the QB run. I doubt they would have lal been picked had you not jumped the gun on Palmer. Plus you could have gotten Brees, Mulger, or McNabb a round later, all of whom would've been better value. Vince Young in Rd2 by the same asshat who took Benson first (and also Berrian in the third). This guy completely fucked up the draft. You guys clearly don't appreciate WRs considering how far Wayne, Fitz, Boldin, and Colston fell (I might just be nitpicking here, but the whole draft has me worked up) Heap in the 5th is a bit of a reach. -------------------------------------------- The #8 team shat all over everyone in this draft: LJ, Steve Smith, McNabb, Boldin, Colston, Caddy, and Winslow is one hell of a team GM of the Year is jumping the gun with his team name, considering his team sucks. And Da Bears is just aweful, I would never play FF with him again
i actually wanted fitzgerald and picked johnson then boldin went, because i think johnson is better than boldin, i screwed up twice on passing up travis henry, and on another player but what can you do, they fucked up the draft for me... so i just said fuck it.
