Draft Slot #1
5 Round Strategy: RB, WR, WR, TE, RB

Went with Priest to start and then picked up Ward and Moulds for a nice trio. Scooped up Alge Crumpler to maintain solid TE points before grabbing Stephen Davis as his RB2 in the 5th round. This alone should be an indicator of the difference this scoring produces.

Ended up a little weak at QB with Pennington but should be fine with Holmes and Davis at RB. First two WR's were gems and Morgan, Ferguson and Thompson should produce at least one good receiver a week if he can figure out which one correctly. Crumpler and DAL will be an advantage and Longwell solid. Overall, this is a solid team and pretty well balanced but the depth in most positions are not likely to be much help.

Starters: Pennington, Holmes, S Davis, Ward, Moulds, Morgan, Crumpler, Longwell and DAL

Grade: B

Draft Slot #2
5 Round Strategy: RB, RB, WR, QB, WR

Tomlinson was a good choice but the selection of Rudi Johnson at 2.11 bypassed other positions that would score more points. Finally got a WR with the 3.02 and then followed that with Favre and Jimmy Smith.

The drafter was not accustomed to the scoring system since he started out as a normal performance scoring way. His recovery picked up some nice upside in Gates and a calculated risk in Boldin but the PK and DEF will not be a difference maker. In this scoring, the perfect team would have #1 players in every position and this effort only netted LT as a true big play guy. There is not a lot of upside, at least very likely, on most of the backups

Starters: Favre Tomlinson, R Johnson, S Moss, J Smith, Boldin/Driver, Gates, Carney and DEN.

Grade: C

Draft Slot #3
5 Round Strategy: RB, QB, WR, TE, RB

This team adhered to the values of players pretty well with only maybe one or two missteps. After Ahman Green, Grabbed Hasselbeck who was a steal at the 2.10 (he was the 8th highest scorer last year) and then took Mason followed by Randy McMichael which in this scoring was a nice pick as well at the 4.10 Found his RB2 with Bennett at the 5.03

Ended up with a pretty solid team - Hasselbeck, Green and Wilkins are tops in their positions and at least solid players came in as backups. Could have done better by waiting on RB3 and taking a starter at the 7.03. This scoring means you need to focus on those starting points first since so they score fairly similarly between positions. There is far less advantage to a nice RB3 when he simply will not score well enough to equate to a WR3. Receivers are a little weak but pretty solid everywhere else.

Starters: Hasselbeck, A Green, Bennett, Mason, Wayne, Kennison, McMichael, Wilkins and GB

Grade: B

Draft Slot #4
5 Round Strategy: RB, TE, RB, WR, WR

Took Portis at the 1.04 which is great in a normal draft but lost on the drafters this early is that Randy Moss outscored every RB last year (5 points better than Holmes). Moss scored 103 more points than Portis did. Top players in each position really make a difference.

Went for nice value in Heap at the 2.09 who actually scored a little more than Portis did in 2003. Could not resist Dillon at the 3.04 but probably missed an opportunity to pick up a higher scoring QB or WR. Has Toomer and Booker in the 5th and made a great pick of the Patriots in the 6th.

Ended up with weak QB's which will hurt given their value but solid RB's with upside on Bell, Griffin and McGahee. Receivers are okay with Toomer, Booker and McCareins but will not make a difference. Heaps and NE helps this team a good bit and may prove the saving grace for ignoring QB until the 7th round and buying too many RB's early.

Starters: Garcia, Portis, Dillon, Toomer, Booker, McCareins, Heap, J Brown and NE

Grade: C+

Draft Slot #5
5 Round Strategy: RB, WR, RB, WR, QB

Went with Alexander at the 1.05 and then Chad Johnson as a nice pick-up at the 2.08. Felt the need for an RB at the 3.05 and went with Faulk though he failed to get Jackson later on. Andre Johnson was a very nice pickup in the 4th and Brooks in the 5th is a steal in this scoring. He was the 12th highest scorer in 2003.

This team actually carries some punch even without the top players you'd like to see. Solid at QB, could have problems with the RB's but that does not hurt as badly in this scoring. WR's a very nice with upside on Fitzgerald and Woods (though Woods is sliding these days). Elam and TEN should be at least average and two big upside TE's in Dallas Clark and Witten. Pretty balanced but weak at RB and not much pizzazz at any position

Starters: Brooks, Alexander, M Faulk, C Johnson, A Johnson, Fitzgerald, Dallas Clark, Elam and TEN

Grade: B
