I want to hear your opinions about weaknesses & needs for my team. My opinion is QB is fine, use #1 OVERALL pick to draft Adrian Peterson & RB will be fine, need to get a #3 WR, TE is OK, PK is fine, and HOLY CRAP....need a lot of work on IDP's.

If you just care to review OFFENSE that is cool. If you see guys on this roster on Offense that should be CUT because of NO UPSIDE...let me know.


First about the league. We are completing YR 1. 16 teams, starting line-ups:

Position
QB 1
RB 2
WR 3
TE 1
K 1
DL 3
LB 4
DB 4

Roster size 36, I R - 5 spots, DEV Squad 3 spots (MAX 44 spots)

Scoring pretty standard stuff except there are pts for Punt/Kick-off return yards.


My stratedegy was to build a good Offense and build a strong DEF in 2 - 3 yrs. I started drafting DEF in RD 23....I was way behind.

My 2006 rankings PER position were:

QB #4 (recently traded away BACKUP V Young)
RB #10 (but recently traded for Addai)
WR #1 (but recently traded away Colston)
TE #16 (but recently added Cooley)
PK # (recently added M Gramatica)
DEF #16 (recently added Pac Man Jones)

I also have traded for draft picks. I finished 2-10 and earned the 2007 #1 Overall pick. I plan on selecting Adrian Peterson RB.

I also have acquired 2 more 1st round picks and an additional 2nd Rd pick. So I have 1.1 and then 3 of the next 17 picks and another pick within 15 spots. 4 top 17 picks and another pick 18 - 32.

I plan on trading these for IDP's and a #3 WR.

Thanks ALL.

I don't play IDP, so I can't comment on that, but you're set at QB. Brady is one of the best and Cutler should make a nice successor.

Addai and maroney could be a great RB tandem for many years, as both should be featured backs next season.

You're light at WR. The only guy I like is AJ. Branch may have a game or two for you each year.

Cooley needs to get back on track, but he has the talent. And kickers are a crapshoot.

Mudhens pretty much sums it up for me.

I still don't understand how you were able to snatch up Addai and Maroney in that league... pretty impressive.

And as someone mentioned already, your receivers needs some upgrade. But other than that your team seems set.

He probably got both through extra draft picks since there seems to be a lot of trade activity
