There are two moves in there that simply blow my mind:

1) You got Stephen Jackson in a dynasty for Marvin Harrison and junk.

2) With 8 rounds, no one picked up a 2nd round rookie LB (Ryans)? How does that happen?

In this league I kept hearing 1 thing over and over. IDP's weren't worth anything. Yet we started 8 of them each week. So most of the focus went to Offensive players. I figured a solid D would propel me into the playoffs. I was right.
