I did a live-online (paradox?) fantasy football draft last night. So, I sit down and log into yahoo FF site and it brings up a Java screen that says "Your draft begins in 00:34:25" and it is counting down -34 being minutes. So I do some stuff; wait; wait and then it comes to 3 sec, 2 sec, 1...... and nothing happens. I look for a few minutes and decide to navigate away from the draft central page to my team homepage and there it has a link to enter the draft. Nice. Didn't see that before. So I got in a bit late and the bummer was that I had changed my mind on who I wanted to draft first, but since I was late getting in, I had to take who I had ranked highest 2 weeks ago. So I got Brian Westbrook instead of Frank Gore.
Take a look at my team and you will not be impressed. Overall, I think I did a poor job drafting. But I will say that on at least 3 occasions, the person right before me took the player/defense I was planning on taking, so then I wasn't as prepared on who to pick.
I will struggle at RB. I have great WR's (if healthy). I could have great QB's. I drank a little of my own koolaid (Broncos fan here -in case you couldn't tell) in taking Cutler and Elam. I also dropped Vernand Morency right after the draft and picked up Mike Bell just in case Travis Henry goes down. My defenses are risky picks, and I am way overloaded on New England. I am hoping to use some of my New England picks for trade (if for nothing else but to diversify).
I'd give myself a C grade (that may even be generous).
What grade would you give me?

Westbrook at 4? I'd say thats a huge reach.
Where are the rest of your running backs? Gotta have a stable of those to win the league.
QBs at 3 and 5? Only one plays a week and that guy only has one bye. Brady will start 15 games Cutler is a wasted pick.
Oooof
D is probably right.
2 QB's in top 5 picks is baaaaad. I think Westbrook is a HUGE reach at 4 unless you get points per reception.....then it's a marginal reach.
You have a shot if Jordan actually comes through for this team....
Gonna need you to rip me apart after my drafts and tell me how bad I did.....
:)
Sorry Jammy, by I'd have to agree with the guys here.
Westbrook at 4 is a tough one. I assume that the top 3 were LT, SJ & LJ?
I like the fact that you got Lamont so late, he has a lot to prove.
I had both of those TE's last year and I have to say that they are both average at best with Miller having the higher upside.
You'll need another WR so keep an eye on that waiver wire.
I heard the excuse... but at what point ever did you think westbrook should be ahead of Gore? ugh.
LOL
Nothing like all of us visiting your blog and taking a crack at your fantasy roster! :)
I'm personally not a big fan of your WRs either. Moss is quite a gamble, as is TO in terms of the entire season.
And I disagree with Schaubs. Until I see anything out of that Raider nation, anyone on that team is a dog. Unless you pick their team defense...
