1st draft of the season, let me know what you think.

[Pats4four]

Standard 10 teamer league, no PPR. I picked 8th overall but for the first 4 rounds, my internet connection played up so those were autopicks. The round that I picked the player is in ().

QB - Schaub (7), Orton (15)
RB - SJax (1), Jacobs (2), Lynch (8), K. Smith (5), F. Jones (9), J, Jones (12), McCoy (13), Rice (14)
WR - Boldin (3), Bowe (4), 85 (6), Cotchery (10)
TE - Carlson (11)

What do you gouys think? Possible improvements/trade possibilitites?

I like your WR corps a lot. I am avoiding SJax in my drafts but if you like him thats fine, I think Jacobs will do well and you have Smith on the bench for depth if necessary. I'd let go of perhaps 1 of the RBs for a WR because you need some depth there.


just drafted tonight, if you could check my team out i'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the input on mine

My first impression of your team is that you'll definitely be competitive in a 10 man league. 10 man leagues are typically stacked and you need to squeeze as many points from you studs as you can. QB: Shuab...what more can be said about this guy. He's a stud when healthy and has tons of weapons at his disposal. I've owned this guy for the past two years and am always impressed when he steps on the field. He will be solid...of course his body needs to stay upright. Orton is an okay backup...I'd be curious to see who's on your wire for QB's. Reports on his camp have already been mixed on his performance....he's a wild card. Post who's on your wire.

RB: So your foundation is Sjax and Jacobs. Without question two very entertaining bruisers that could carry any team to the playoffs...but you know story. Bruisers = hurt bodies and hurt feelings. IF those two remain healthy you're solid. But you did the right thing in stacking your RB slots with depth. The only thing that could hurt Lynch is if everyone finally figures out that Fred is the real deal. Fred's going to do everything in his power to play his butt off for Buf in his time to shine....he has to face NE, NO and TB in order to make his case. Worst case scenario is that Lynch loses even more touches to Freddy when he comes back. Good news is that Lynch still gets the redzone touches...let's hope it stays that way. Smith is a good pick up given LJ's attitude and lazy running that he displayed last year...Felix is electrifying back and Rice is a lottery pick that may pay off. McCoy is a very smart pick...may not pay off right away but he will win playoff games for you...I guarantee. JJ....yes I know. No one likes him. You know who really didn't like him? Holmgren. Mora's in and Mora likes to run and is already kicking JJ's butt in camp. He will see more touches and Mora is already changing the offense to feature the run.

WR: solid..nice job. How many do you need to start?

TE: call me biased but I say Carlson is a good sleeper pick. He's got very soft hands and will be targeted in the red zone this year. Mora is a TE guy.

Overall nice team: Only thing I would take a look at is another backup QB. Wait until Felix wows and dazles during a game and swing him around for bait for either another QB or another WR depending on how many you start.

good luck

Thanks for the input guys, as for who's on the wire Qb wise, Flacco, Penny, Campbell, Bulger, Collins, Sage, Hill are the notables that are still available. Donald Brown and Fred Jackson are there to and I was playing with the idea of maybe picking either of them up. BTW K. Smith is Kevin Smith of Detroit and we start 3 WRs (could use more depth I know but I just got carried away with picking up RBs)
