Also factoring in the Drew Brees/Sean Payton factor with all of their young receivers, the Saints are going to be the team to beat this season. | ||

Yeah, the Cardinals are really good. The problem is that they're in the same division as two NFL superpowers and another team that has a defense with the pass rush from hell that is built to give the Cardinals fits. The Cardinals better pray that they get some better offensive line play this year, or Carson Palmer won't make it through the season. | ||

There's a potentially tough five game stretch at mid season, but after that is a bunch of very winnable games, on top of one of the best home field advantages in the league. New Orleans will be a top 2-3 team all season and is my pick to win it all. | ||

rnd 1: Matt Forte rnd 2: Andre Ellington rnd 3: Julio Jones rnd 4: Keenan Allen rnd 5: Micheal Crabtree rnd 6: Brandin Cooks rnd 7: Kyle Rudolph rnd 8: Ryan Matthews rnd 9: Tony Romo rnd 10: Zach Ertz rnd 11: Devonta Freeman rnd 12: Trent Richardson rnd 13:Ryan Tannehill rnd 14: Matt Prater rnd 15: Tampa Bay defense I know I am weak at a couple positions. Most noticeably TE with Rudolph as my starter. A TE streak happened which took all the top TEs off the board right up to Witten being taken the pick before mine. I reached for Ellington, but no other RB seemed better in Rnd 2 than him with upside. Julio Jones is a bit of a risk with his foot but massive upside. Keenan Allen looks really good imo. I took Ryan Matthews in Rnd 8 O_O. How could I say no to a starting RB that late? Same with Richardson who I took in Rnd 12 I want to know, should I switch out TB defense with N Orleans before season starts? I pretty much flipped a coin mentally and went with TB. People picked defenses starting in round 8, and I didnt want to take a def/k till the last 2 rounds (which somehow I got Matt Prater???). Edit: Some nice talent was left on the board. Noticeably Kendall Wright, Dwayne Bowe, Cecil Shorts, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Evans, Hakeem Nicks, Jordan Matthews. Anyone above that should be on my roster instead of who I currently own? Thanks guys, no one else I trust with advice outside of TL. | ||

Should I get rid of Tannehill or Freeman and get Wright off waivers? | ||

Your WRs are interesting. If Julio and Crabtree can stay healthy and have recovered from last year they could be good, and if Allen can improve upon his rookie season at all he will be extremely productive. | ||

Hakeem Nicks should be a good waiver wire addition as well, he's got a potentially great QB in Andrew Luck, a pass first offense and he would likely be the number one option with Reggie Wayne coming back from injury. Well 2 teams drafted 2 defenses each. The only reason I can think of is to trade later on for a good player. Nothing else makes sense. Reason I mention that is because I am not trading a solid player to move up with my defense. I have faith in TB to begin with because of the coaching. | ||

Hard to say much beyond that but Imo is rather go for a top wr at two than Ellington. He's probably 12th best br or worse. Coulda had a top five wr and jumped on an elite te before everyone I picked #5. And I know I passed on good WRs for Ellington (top ones left were Marshall and Brown), but my nagging gut kept telling me to get him. WRs got picked like crazy. I even reached a bit for Brandin Cooks because of it. edit: Roster is: 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 TE 1 flex (wr/te/rb) 1 k 1 def 6 bench Scoring settings are: Passing Yards 25 yards per point Passing Touchdowns 4 Interceptions -1 Rushing Yards 10 yards per point Rushing Touchdowns 6 Reception Yards 10 yards per point Reception Touchdowns 6 | ||

-I think Cooks is going to be a beast. I didn't know until recently that he was the Belitnikoff (sp?) winner from Oregon St. and the fact that the Saints went out to get him makes me think he's going to be a monster. He's a great handcuff for a Jones injury/Crabtree not living up to expectation/sophomore slump from Allen. -I don't really think you reached on Ellington if this is a 10 team league, that's about where he's been going ADP if I recall correctly. I like the guy a lot, but I probably won't be owning him in any leagues this year because I don't think I value him as highly as some people. -I stand by my Romo point, and that's a guy that I'm terrified is going to get hurt, but I think he's going to be good if he plays. The Cowboys hate running and with that defense, they're going to have to score a bajillion points to win. -I don't think you need a backup QB in a 10 team league if you have a safe guy (Rodgers, Brady (based on health, perhaps not ability), Manning, Brees) but I think you do or at least need to be cognizant of what's out there. If Tannehill was rosterable in your opinion, don't keep a second QB. If need be, you're going to be able to play the matchup game of guys at that ability level. Worst case, you pick up Orton if Romo goes down. Nobody's going to be owning him prior to an injury. -I see nothing out of Mathews this year, either due to injury or split time, so there's that. Still a better flier than Freeman. Why do you own him? Isn't Rodgers still there to backup Jackson anyway? Lots of bodies in the way. For this being your first draft, I think you did quite well. Good luck to you this year! | ||
