I went with an approach to hog a ton of RBs (even not drafting a Kicker for now so I can wait out and see how many of them will win jobs and such before the season.)
Heres my team... drafted from the 10 slot.
QB - Palmer WR - Lee Evans WR - Brandon Marshall WR - Vincent Jackson RB - LaDainian Tomlinson RB - Steve Slaton TE - Heath Miller K - none DEF - Green Bay Bench - Pierre Thomas, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker, Beanie Wells, Cedric Benson, Lance Moore, Matt Hasselback
ROFL love the strategy! I'm the same way. Some of those RB on the bench are bound to do something! I'm not sold on Palmer. He's coming off an injury and lost one of his go to guys in Houshmanzadeh. There are too many question marks in Cinci for him to be a starter on my team. You will definitely need to pick another one up. Who are the top FA QBs? Your starting receivers are good, but I don't like that Moore is your only back up. I haven't been a fan of Moore. New Orleans has too many other receivers and TEs about his caliber. I'm afraid that he may have been a one year wonder and I stay away from guys like that. He hasn't been producing long enough for me. I think New Orleans will spread the ball around more. I suppose Lance could be a servicible bye week replacement kind of guy. I'd definitely pick another WR up when you are getting rid of one of your RBs. I don't like GBs defense. I love your starting RBs by the way. They will both have great years.

I employed a similar strategy to my recent draft as well but I think your RB depth is the strength of your team. LT and Slaton are solid starters and out of LJ, Thomas, FWPthere is a goofd chance that one of them will be a good starter later on in the year. Palmeris a bit of a question mark but now that he's healthy and 85 seems to have shut up and is concentrating on football, I think he'll be a decent QB and you've always got Hass as a reliable back up. I reckon you need to pull a trade or 2 to improve your WRs. Marshall's lost Cutler and there are questions about his conduct so I don't know how that's gonna affect his play. There are also questions surrounding Evans and how TO will affect him. Finally, I'm not huge of VJax as I think a healthy LT means more rushes and fewer passes. Miller's a decent TE that you may think of upgrading but WR is your main priority.
I'd probably go with Campbell. The dolphins have the toughest schedule in the league and the Redskins have the 16th. Other then that it is a toss up. I'd defintely snag one of those two after you pick up a kicker.

Never mind, I did not realize you had hasselbeck as a backup. Sorry! He will do.
Very nice team. Be prepared to make a lot of trades to teams that are being killed at the RB position. You'll be able to over value the RBs because they don't have any depth or starters so they will over pay for them Nice team.
A little over kill on the RBs, you are only starting 2 of them but you are starting 3 wrs. Your only back up to your starters had off season shoulder surgery and is questionable to start season. You need a huge upgrade here,
