Help me out

Postby Old Style on Aug 21st, 2011, 10:55 am

I just drafted for a 10 team league on ESPN yesterday, and I'm not feeling too confident. I had the 6th pick in a snake draft:

QB: Sam Bradford
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew
RB: DeAngelo Williams
RB: Felix Jones
WR: Greg Jennings
WR: DeSean Jackson
WR: Percy Harvin
TE: Vernon Davis
DEF: Steelers
K: Robbie Gould

Here's my bench:

Pierre Garcon WR
Mike Thomas WR
LaDainian Tomlinson RB
Marion Barber RB
Donovan McNabb QB
Tony Gonzalez TE
Saints DEF

There's a cap on waiver moves, we can only make 20 during the year, so I drafted for my bench a little differently than I probably usually would.

Very solid team...on paper. If your starters play like they normally would or up to their expectations, you could win your league.

Tons of potential there. Your bench is kinda weak aside from Tony Gonzalez and the Saints D/ST

Never draft two D/ST...All you do is pick-up one when your Steelers have their bye. Looks like you maybe drafted Gould too early...? Pure speculation...never draft K until last 2 rounds (Maybe you did...lol)

Wideouts are nasty
Good TE's
Besides MJD, other RB's are big ?'s as far as production
You got my boy at QB...GREAT PICK! But seriously, not bad but I think you waited too long to draft your QB. Sam will give you points, but not sure he will be all too consistent yet...sopohomore year.

Thanks for the input. My biggest worry are the RBs that I have.

I drafted Gould as my very last pick, and I do think I waited too long on QB. He was my 8th pick, I believe.

I don't typically draft a second defense, but the rest of my league did that, so I was a little concerned about not drafting a backup D. That, and with a limited amount of waiver moves, I figured I could drop the backup D after I use them during the Steelers bye week.

I would worry more about QB than RB. You don't even have a top12 Qb, how did that happen? You must really trust Bradford, but I would have tried to taken Freeman, Matt Ryan, or Joe Flacco a bit earlier. I really like the rest of your team though.

I just waited too long to take QB. I took him 8th, I think. Waited too long.
