[Weasel_King]

I am ecstatic with the team I just drafted, it seemed like every other round the players I wanted fell to me. Anyway here's my roster (10th pick):

QB: Donovan McNabb

RB: Larry Johnson
Flex(RB/WR): Joseph Addai
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Roddy White
TE: Zach Miller
K: Nate Kaeding
DST: Green Bay Packers

Bench
QB: Carson Palmer
RB: Donald Brown
RB: Jerious Norwood
WR: Antonio Bryant
WR: Lance Moore

Make sure to leave a link -I will respond.

If this was 2005 or 2006 you would of had a good team. But in 2009 you got a bunch of seniors on your roster. LT, LJ, Addai arent 1st tier talent anymore. McNabb sucks, Palmer is iffy & is on a bad team. Andre Johnson will be your top point getter.

LT at #3?! man you gotta find a better source of scouts. LT was around 12 on my list. Turner, MJD, Slaton, Forte, Johnson will all have better seasons than LT in my opinion. Remember Shawn Alexander? 30 is a bitch. Im also staying away from Westbrook.

Definatly reached on LT not a horrible move but you didn't get Sproles as a back up so if LT goes down your season may go down with him.

Good insurance on McNabb with the Carson Palmer pick up.

Great WRs

LT at #3?! man you gotta find a better source of scouts. LT was around 12 on my list. Turner, MJD, Slaton, Forte, Johnson will all have better seasons than LT in my opinion. Remember Shawn Alexander? 30 is a bitch. Im also staying away from Westbrook.

I know that most would disagree about LT being #3 but let me explain my reasoning:
LT is coming off his WORST season (in which he was injured), but his stats aren't that bad: 1536 Total Yards and 12 TD's. He is now injury-free, and he is now eager to prove that he is not washed up. Yes he is 30, but the other top running backs have questions of their own.

Michael Turner performed brilliantly in his first season as the feature back, but the Falcons have said they want to reduce his carries this year, and with the addition of Tony Gonzalez his red zone TD's are bound to drop a bit. Matt Forte had a solid rookie campain, but you have to think the Bears will throw more with the addition of Cutler. Maurice Jones-Drew is expected to have a huge season because he will be the feature back, but he has never proven that he can be a succesfull feature back. Steven Jackson is injury-prone, making him a risky choice as your top pick. Deangelo Williams had a huge year, but you have to think that it is unlikely that he will repeat his TD numbers from last season. Additionally, he has to contend with Jonathon Stewart taking some of his carries. Chris Johnson is an amazing player, but LenDale White will seriously limit his TD production. Although it may seem unorthodox to have LT ranked as I high as I do, but my "scouts" find it justifable to take him there. By the way, I drafted him #10 which doesn't seem like a bad spot even if you're not too high on LT.

Thank for your input though, I am not a fan of McNabb either but as the 9th QB taken I think he was a good value.

Well I am not sure I would have gone LT @#3 but to each his own. I think he is going to have a good year but if this is a PPR I think I might have gone Forte or MJD if they were there. LT can catch a lot of balls too.

I personally like your QB's. I think that Palmer could be a steal in most leagues. Your WR's are tight and you wrapped up the INDY RB.

I like your team.

Please take a look at mine

Thanks for the reply.....

I don't think your team is that bad....in fact it's pretty decent, but like another poster said you have alot of veterans and with those may come an injury riddled season!

I love LT and alot of people doubt him this year but he is always guaranteed to produce and to land him at #10 was a steal and a half!!!

Addai I would be concerned about and LJ (I have a feeling he rebounds nicely) but you might have a concern with him as well.

Your WR's are great so no message for them so.....

All in all real nice and should be able to go far as long as your RB's stay healthy. Great work!

I'm buying into LT's resurgence this year so I don't think that was too big a reach. If you like a guy and it's not a huge reach then I say go for it. That said I don't think LJ will have a great year. But with Addai and Brown you should have decent depth.

Love Palmer and I think 85 is a good backup a well. If one or both take off you could sell high for another good RB.

Thanks for you help. Good luck!

Your team is decent. You will have a flex no matter what between Addai and Brown, which I like, and I think your WRs are very good. At QB you have the possibility of a very good platoon, which isn't exactly a bad thing. Unless ravaged by injuries, this is a playoff team IMHO.
