Depending on who was on the board for Running Backs in Round 3, you may have wanted to try and grab someone since you already had a really strong WR1 in Moss. I'm always leery about people who go to new teams. I'm a Giants fan though and Ward (aka Wind) is definitely a fast little dude. If McGahee can stay healthy you're probably pretty solid, especially with Moreno and Bush on the bench (since you said its partial PPG).

At the same time though, I wouldnt risk trying to trade any of your WRs for a better RB b/c Ginn and Avery are definitely much weaker than your starters. I would guess that you'll have a pretty difficult seasons if your RBs don't perform, if you can play the matchups right and with a little bit of luck you should be in decent contention.

I don't remember who was on the board in rd 3, but it was no one special...I was able to handcuff Graham to Ward late in the draft (second to last pick) so I think that helps the team change quandry....I am hoping Parker (I assume this is who you meant, not McGahee) stays healthy this year and performs like he has in the past. but with Moreno and Bush, I feel I have 2 guys who can step in if need be and at least create a stop gap till I find a good WW guy (they are always there...) to fill in. Thanks for your input!

I would be very concerned about your RB's. No one on that list stands out to me. I am also very down on the Packers D since it will be rocky converting to a 3-4. I think you struggle man (sorry for the honesty)

I think overall you had a nice draft. Obviously the main concern is at RB, but you did a very good job with later round value picks. I think you are playoff bound as long as parker and moreno can stay healthy.

okay team, but I agree about being worried about your running backs.
