Last year I got lucky and ended up with MJD, Peyton, R. Brown, Frank Gore later after Brown went down, and B. Marshall.. This year I drafted 9/10 and I'm not sure this team is nearly as strong. Please let me know where I am weak and what areas I should look to improve on through the ww.
QB - K. Kolb RB1 - Frank Gore RB2 - Ryan Mathews WR1 - Brandon Marshall WR2 - Greg Jennings TE - Jermichael Finley Flex - Ronnie Brown (wasn't sure about this pick, but he was the best available by far)
Bench RB - Michael Bush RB - Arain Foster WR - Mike Wallace WR - Devin Aromashodu RB - Justin Forsett WR - Demaryius Thomas WR - Kevin Walter WR - Mohamed Massaquio
The position I feel most uneasy about is QB, when I drafted there weren't many options, I was targetting Romo or Flacco, but both went a few picks before I would have drafted them.. Only ww options as of right now are Stafford, A. Smith, Henne, J. Johnson, Cassel, and Sanchize.
I actually like your team quite a bit, especially if this is a 12 team league. You've got great RBs and some good depth there. Your WRs are pretty good as well, though I'm not as high on Brandon Marshall as a #1. Jennings is a great #2 though, and you have some nice depth. Finley at TE is solid, and K and D don't matter. As for QB, I actually like Kolb to be pretty good this year. This is the same offense as last year (except for no Brian Westbrook cheering on from the sidelines), and Kolb did really well when McNabb was out at the beginning of the season.
Overall I think you've done well. Now you just have to get lucky
I'm not as high on Brandon Marshall as a #1. Jennings is a great #2 though
I'm not either, what with the new team and the run first mentality of said team, but he was the best available option at that draft slot, Megatron went 2 picks before... I was really hopin people were down on him this year
Depending on scoring rules, you should be ok. Kolb worries me a bit. I had a lot of faith in him, but a few nights ago he had a horrific showing. And as we know with Eagles fans, if he continues, it won't take long for him to get the hook pulled on him.
You're RBs are solid, though I'm not super excited about either guy. Gore has a tendency to get hurt during the season, and though Matthews is in a prime position, he's still a rookie.
I LOVE Greg Jennings. I can easily see him being a top 5 guy this year. Marshall concerns me. I'm not sure if he'll get a lot of TDs, but I think he'll be targeted a lot.
Finley, should be huge this year too....and Brown I'm also excited about.
For now, I think you'll be ok, during the season your guys could blow it up. One thing I do like is almost all of your bench players have huge upside.
would it be worth packaging Marshall with one of my bench RB's for an upgrade at WR or packaging him with Kolb for an upgrade at QB? I too love Jenning's and think he'll have a great season, Marshall did well for me last year so I'm less worried about him then you are, but he still concerns me with the fins being a run first team with 2 solid backs.
You have a ton of high-upside WRs that all you need for is 1 or 2 to breakout and really make your team. I may try to move one or two of them for some TE and/or QB depth. I am not as high on some on Kolb, so some insurance would be nice.

QB - K. Kolb he is a huge sleeper, but still unproven RB1 - Frank Gore - great RB V Davis will make the defense more worried about the pass RB2 - Ryan Mathews - sleeper pick but preseason he looks good WR1 - Brandon Marshall - New team but a great receiever of course WR2 - Greg Jennings - TE - Jermichael Finley - Flex - Ronnie Brown (wasn't sure about this pick, but he was the best available by far)
Bench RB - Michael Bush RB - Arain Foster WR - Mike Wallace WR - Devin Aromashodu RB - Justin Forsett - I think he's going to show himself to be a solid flex WR - Demaryius Thomas WR - Kevin Walter - HOU good bench WR - Mohamed Massaquio

Doesn't look like you have anything to worry about. Kolb should be fine, Andy Reid wouldn't have shiped McNabb to a div. rival to make room for a scrub. Brown is always a bit worring, but a great talent, and if something goes wrong there, Foster and Forsett are both capable of filling that gap. all told, you have a very good team. congrats.
