just recently did a draft for a 10teamer and got the 8th pick. was surprised at some of the steals that seem to be common in alot of the drafts and mocks ive been in. for example in my draft
got:
Warrick Dunn at 6.03 and Micheal Bennett at 9.08
Charles Rodgers at 14.03 Eddie Kennison 10.03.
was just curious of what you guys feel are probably some of the most underrated players going much later then they should.
oh and as ref heres how my Draft went.
my pick for most underrated...Steve Mcnair....just a hunch
QB: 11.08 Jake Plummer, 8.03 Carson Palmer
RB: 1.08 Deuce McAllister, 2.03 Corey Dillion, 6.03 Warrick Dunn, 13.08 Lee Suggs, 9.08 Michael Bennett
WR: 3.08 Torry Holt, 5.08 Michael Clayton, 7.08 Chris Chambers, 10.03 Eddie Kennison, 14.03 Charles Rogers, 12.03 Keyshawn Johnson
TE: 4.03 Tony Gonzalez
K: 15.08 Ryan Longwell
DEF: 16.03 Jacksonville
I don´t know about Rogers. It´s not like he ha d a chance to show whether he can be a contributor in this league. His knack fo rgetting hurt scared me off...
I think that Tom Brady is underrated. You normally don´t get the huge games from him but he´s very solid and gets picked rather late.
Another "sleeper" is Mike Anderson. In some leagues he doesn´t even get drafted!!! He´s the starter in Denver and might very well repeat his 1500 yard perfomance. Make sure to get Bell as an insurance, though...
As far as WRs are concerned, i´m looking forward to watching McCareins. He is has some speed and is a big red-zone target. If Pennington stay healthy, he should be solid as a No 3 WR and might even turn out to be a No2 since Coles will probably draw the double coverages downfield...
At TE, I expect some good games from Wiggins and Troupe.
DEF. Redskins, Falcons, Colts and Indy could be good fantasy DEF...
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
I would have to say Portis as well. I have seen him drop far too low in some drafts. I have seen him even go in Rd 4 in a respectable draft full of guys that know their stuff... at least I thought they did.

I took Portis 2.7 after backs like Westbrook, S Jackson, C Dillon went off the board.
I liked my Last three picks in rds 13,14,15:
C Palmer
D Stallworth
W Parker
Not that I would say they were steals but tough to argue getting a starting rb in 15th rd and Palmer in the 13th.
10 team league - High performance scoring = 1 pt per reception
1 QB 2RB 2WR 1 RB/WR/TE 1 TE 1 D 1K
Qb - T Green, C Palmer
RB - P Holmes, C Portis, K Barlow, S Davis, W Parker, L Johnson
WR - T Owens, Roy Williams, R Smith, D Stallworth
TE - A Gates
K - Vanderjagt
D - Eagles
yea was probably a mistake to take palmer so high. but ive got great expectations of him. and a run on QB's kind of spooked me. i was already 3 deep at RB and WR and had Gonzo. so i didnt think it hurt me too bad.
