I'm unhappy with my team. Help?

I had my 12 team draft lastnight. Will you please give me some feedback?

Qb - Phillip rivers
Rb - Ray rice, Ahmad Bradshaw, mike Tolbert, micheal bush, ben Tate, javon ringer
Wr - Percy Harvin, Jeremy macklin, mike Thomas, Deion branch, jordy Nelson
Te - antonio gates
Def - falcons
K - Alex henery

you reached on gates...he is still dealing with his foot problem and the chargers are back loading the TE position. He is a perennial pro bowler but you've got to temper your expectations with him this season. this left you fatally shallow at the WR position. If i were in your position i would look for a team that waited on TE and try to deal gates for a tier 2 WR like maybe a dez bryant or brandon marshall or something. Harvin is not a clear cut 1 maclin may be ok but there are health issues there as well...after that the dropoff is severe. When did you draft your team Defence?

I thought gates is going to be ready week1? You make it sound like he's not a factor this season...
I picked falcons defense my second to last pick.

Thanks for your help!

Gates will be a factor just not as big a factor as he is being drafted. It's just a hunch but watching how the chargers are targeting backup tight ends in the preseason and the depth they are adding at the position it seems like gates may see some reduced time on the field plus his injury is not one that can be recovered from it just has to be dealt with he will most likely miss practices and be a game time decision all season. I'm just saying for me, he is not worth the headache.
