Personally, I would say they had all of those guys ranked too highly (and yes, this is according to rankings I had prior to the season). I had all of those guys listed as #2 quality RBs, so I would've never taken them in the 1st round.
Generally though, RBs in the first round is a solid drafting strategy. I think Moss is really the only non-RB that should be considered in the 1st, though I admit, if Peyton were there at the end of the 1st, I'd have been tempted to grab him.
Why Moss, when Terrell Owens is clearly the better WR option right now?

I've never considered a QB in the first round.... Unless you start 2 QB's, there is no reason to even consider doing so.....
That said, there ARE WR's out there (Moss and Owens) who are solid first round picks.....

In fantasy football, how do you figure that? Moss has 257 yards and 2 TDs, TO has 255 yards and 2 TDs, more importantly, Moss got a more even distribution of his points than TO, consistency is a definite plus in fantasy football.
Aside from that, the simple fact that in fantasy terms, Moss has been the most consistently top notch WR. His reliability, coupled with all the uncertainty surrounding TO heading into the draft is why I think only Moss deserved 1st round selection.
I've seen a lot of gripes from those owners. And I'm sure they'd disagree with you.
Jamal Lewis I understand, but Dillon and McGahee have each had 1 good fantasy game and 1 bad one. Anyone very upset already is overreacting.
Corey Dillon is averaging 12 points per game, not great, but still serviceable numbers. McGahee had a 100+ yard game and one game he bombed in. I fail to see how they compare to Jamal Lewis, who hasn't hit 100 total yards yet.

McNabb > Kerry Collins..... Period... End of story...
1st Rd – Edge 2nd Rd – R. Johnson 3rd Rd – C. Johnson 4th Rd – T. Brady
2-0 1st in points
League #2
1st Rd – P. Holmes 2nd Rd – T. Barber 3rd Rd – D. McNabb 4th Rd – H. Ward
2-0 1st in points
League #3 1st Rd – Edge 2nd Rd – C. Portis 3rd Rd – T. Holt 4th Rd – T. Green
1-1 3rd in points
Seems to work for me.
In all three of those leagues, it seems to me like your success is driven more by your non-RB's than by your RB's....
Edge - nothing special so far....
Rudi - nothing special so far....
Portis - nothing close to special so far....
Tiki - Mediocre week 1.... Good week 2....
Priest - decent week 1.... Mediocre week 2....
Chad Johnson - kicking ass and taking names....
Donovan McNabb - kicking ass and taking names after a rough outing in week 1....
Torry Holt - 125 in week 1.... 80 and a TD in week 2....
I hate to say it, but what is carrying your teams is your non-RB's.... Sure, Tiki had a big game on Monday, but I highly doubt he was your first round pick....
Looks to me like your first round picks were Edge and Priest, and I'm sorry, but neither one of those guys has really done anything to write home to mom about....
I submit that you would have been FAR better off taking Moss or Owens in place of either of those guys and picking up Caddy in round 3....
So, please, spare us the nickel's worth of free advice....
