I need to get the RB that will give me the best production in the future, with little care about this season. McFadden and Stewart would be the obvious choices for a win-now team, and Felix Jones or Mendenhall would be more towards rebuilding. The little competition McFadden has, along with a new zone blocking scheme, along with the high money/draft pick they spent on him, make me lean towards McFadden, but Mendenhall is in a better situation. What does HT think about the first overall pick in a keeper draft?

Vernon Davis has yet to show anything spectacular I partially blame that on the inconsistency at the QB position. Maybe Martz can spark that offense this season?

Winslow is no doubt a beast and a top 4 TE in the league but I wonder how his numbers will fair this season since the addition of Stallworth.

For the Curious, here are the numbers from 07:

Garrard: 2509yds with 18tds and 3ints.
McNabb: 3324yds with 19tds and 7ints
Davis: 52rec 509yds 4tds
Winslow: 82rec 1106yds 5tds

I agree with andyep3, the trade isn't necessarily 'unfair' or is it a sign of collusion. But I'd personally take the Mcnabb-Winslow duo.

This is a trade I rejected last season in one of my leagues - clearly stacking Team B:

Team A sends:
Braylon Edwards
Antonio Gates

Team B sends:
Keenan McCardell
Alge Crumpler

Now, I have another question. I have a trade offer that I will take as long as the condition is right. Basically, in a three-keeper league, I was offered Michael Turner for my 3rd round pick. So basically Micheal Turner for a mid-6th round pick. I would assume I get to keep my three keepers + Turner if I go through with the trade, right? I've never dealt with a keeper league trade before the draft, or including picks for that matter...

As usual for this league, weird draft. Someone took Marion Barber with the 3rd pick, Tom Brady went 4th, bunch of QBs in the 3rd round, etc. Let me know if you want to see the draft results.

1) Peyton Manning QB
2) Marion Barber RB
3) Steve Smith WR
4) Jason Witten TE
5) Josh Brown K
6) Hines Ward WR
7) Seattle Seahawks Defense
8) Santana Moss WR
9) Laurence Maroney RB
10) Ben Roethlisberger QB
11) DJ Hackett WR
12) Julius Jones RB
13) Jay Cutler QB
14) Tony Scheffler TE
15) Ronnie Brown RB

Didn't have too much of a strategy. I dont know much about individual players or teams as a whole. I went in with no idea of who i was going to choose and it started biting me in the ass as i ran down on time and didn't know who i wanted. Such as with Ronnie Brown .. i dont think his stats were all that bad, but Miami as a team isn't that great. And Steve Smith .. ya, i forgot he decided to beat the shit out of his teammate ha.

I had my brother on the phone helping me .. but we'll see how i do and it will be fun either way.

is it possible for me to somehow pick up another defense? ANY defense is better than no defense. damn.

What the fukk? Big Ben went in the 10th, and Brown in the 15th? At WR, you're going to be screwed, as you're going to start Ward and Moss in the first two weeks, two feast or famine players that could do nothing for two weeks straight easily. But starting Barber and probably Brown should be decent, along with Peyton, given he comes back and is healthy to start the year. Was this a Yahoo public league?

Don't worry about the defense. The Seahawks(guessing this was a homer pick) defense is expendable, so just drop them and pick another one up when there is a bye. Although by that point, you'll probably have a player or two that is injured and needs to be dropped anyway.

Did SJ fall to fourth? Where did you draft? How many players? Not a bad team, you have good players at all starting positions, although you'll probably end up starting LenWhale more than Bush if he is the starter in Tenn. I really like the Mendenhall, Crayton and McAllister picks, at least one of those guys will become a decent starter at some point, given their situations.

I picked 8th in a 10 player league.
I'm not sold on LenDale, but who knows. I had my eye on Micheal Turner and Rudi Johnson but both were picked that round, just before me. Turner lasted a long time in our league.

I felt like there were some deals I missed out, I could have had Braylon Edwards for like $38, which then I would have passed on S Smith. Also I could have had S. Jackson for $58 or so, but I pussed out when it was down to me and my friend bidding for him. I didnt want to get into a pride-bidding war, but I was super happy for LJ at $43. Guys like Jamal Lewis went in the hgih 30s, barber was 5X and Lynch went for 63.

auction drafts are the best, but also the most nerve racking.
do you start 2 QBs/TEs or DEF? If not you might want to trade some of those guys to improve on your TEs or maybe add another RB. I think you're team looks pretty good for a 14 teamer.

Our rosters are set, starting 1 QB/TE/K/Def, 2 RB, 3 WR, and 1 RB/WR flex. I think I'm gonna drop reggie williams for Ben Obamanu, otherwise I cant fill the roster in week 1 if brown/williams stay hurt and steve smith being suspended.

I know what you're sayin, but we have to have this roster, cannot be changed. everyone must have the same amount at each position that I have. I like it like that anyway so people can't load up at any position. Having said that, I would rather have one of the qb slots be a wr/rb considering who we start.

QB Peyton Manning
QB Chad Pennington

RB Maurice Jones-Drew
RB Ricky Williams

WR Ted Ginn Jr.
WR Chad Johnson
WR Jerricho Cotchery

TE Dallas Clark
TE Heath Miller

K Nate Kaeding (Jay Feely released and yahoo hasn't listed Dan Carpenter as a player yet )

DEF Jacksonville Jaguars

Thoughts?
