I got him in the 5th in a 10 team league I'm in and I'm optimistic at this point. However I've seen both ends of hurtin' Kurt...the MVP and the really sucky QB. I'm hoping he's at least somewhere in the middle.
I got him in the sixth as my number 1 qb. If he even comes close to the numbers he put up two years ago, he's going to be the best fantasy QB in the league.
Last year he was hurt. This year he's healthy. That's good enough for me.
8 team league
1 Holmes
2 Moulds
3 Barber
4 Ward
5 Shockey
6 Warner
Everybody else got their qb in rounds 2 - 5. By waiting until 6, I got Shockey out of the deal.
Plus the Rams have an easy strength of schedule which makes any ram valueable. Warner looks like he will be a top 5 QB easy this year. I got him in round 6 in my keeper money league.
1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 WR/TE, K, DEF Standard 12-Man Auction League 9-3 Record
QB - C. Newton, J. Flacco RB - R. Rice, M. Jones-Drew, M. Tolbert, C.J. Spiller, D. Karim WR - L. Fitzgerald, W. Welker, J. Graham, L. Moore K - S. Gostkowski DEF - Jets, Titans
The reason I posted this is because he is going in the mid rounds in most drafts ( 4th or 5th round).
If he becomes the monster he was in the past he may give the championship to the person who grabs him in the 5th round for instance, while mcnabb and manning are going in the 2nd or 3rd.
You know what I'm trying to say? When he was healthy he was a 1st round pick, now that he is healthy again he will probably be there in the 5th round. So you will be able to have 4 great players + warner.
I am convinced to take him even in the 4th round. I'll make that bet !!!
I took him 5th round ( 2 keepers...so in actuality 7th rd) in one draft and 6th rd in the Cafe yahoo league.
Anything more than 4th rd right now is a steal imo.

Only 3 leagues this year. No sense in rooting for everyone in the NFL.
ha - i got warner in the 9th round - yes, the 9th round!! (and i'm in a 10-team league w/ guys who know what they're doing). I picked up Peyton Manning as my starter, so now my dilemma is, do I pick up Bulger and carry 3 QB's or just wait it out and hope Warner does fine (and if he doesn't do fine, hope i can grap bulger before anyone else does)? i'm inclined to stick it out w/ warner..
