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

This team used the first pick in the draft to start his RB's off with Tomlinson and then focused on the reception point values of Ward (2), Mason (3) and Heap (4) before finally going back for Garner (5).

Passed by Bennett and other RB's to get Mason which later gave him weaker RB's with Garner and Minor which likely ended up with less net points unless Garner and Minor stay starters and healthy.

Ended up with a Tomlinson and Heap as top players in their position but chased the runs on most other positions and ended with a team likely to produce average points buoyed only by Tomlinson's big games which he would have had anyway. Weaker at RB than desired caused by the attempt to be very strong at WR but that caused a domino effect on the other positions taken. A good effort at using the scoring rules that ended up causing unintended weaknesses at other positions.

Starters: Green, Tomlinson, Garner, Ward, Mason, R Smith, Minor (flex), Heap, Elam, MIA

Grade: C+

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

Took the standard Holmes pick wisely and unlike Team #1, went with best WR in Chad Johnson but then took Bennett off the board to start a solid backfield with one top WR. Used the 4.11 pick to snap up Vick - nice pickup for a quarterback that fell as most do in this scoring system. Went back for Koren Robinson in the 5th.

Ended up with nice starters though his flex position would be either Foster or Driver and neither are that attractive. Solid picks in DEF and PK with upside in Clark for a TE.

The attempt at balance ended up with a good starting crew but almost all backups could be a problem if they were needed. This is a team that would be hunting the waiver for RB, WR and TE most the season probably.

Starters: Vick, Holmes, Bennett, C Johnson, K Robinson, L Fitzgerald, Foster (flex), Dallas Clark, Akers and BAL

Grade: B

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

Nice starting RB's with Green and Stephen Davis and followed that with a double dip into WR's that netted Horn and Booker (right before he went south in more ways than one). Wound up with major find of McNabb at the 5.03. Sweet.

Built a team that contained some nice value picks and a few upside shots like Winslow. Did a nice job in grabbing many players that were Top 5 in their position and that should provide some solid weekly points. Like most teams, much of depth would need eventual upgrades.

Starters: McNabb, Green, S Davis, Horn, Booker, Wayne, Dayne/Warrick (flex), Winslow, Feely and CAR.

Grade: B+

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

This plan seemed to work pretty at this slot. Started with McAllister and then got Owens (2). Then back to RB for Barber (3) and then back to WR to get Toomer (4) and then back to RB to still get Dunn (5). Pretty solid start, maybe not spectacular but solid.

Took QB later in the 7th and still got Brooks and took his TE in Boo Williams in the 6th. Elected to wait on DEF and PK and likely has no advantage there and took the big risk on McCardell in the 8th that he probably wishes he had back. It could hit but is looking too risky right now. Nice starters that are at least average and a few that should be in the upper echelon in McAllister, Owens and Williams.

Starters: Brooks, McAllister, Barber, Owens, Toomer, McCardell, Dunn (flex), B WIlliams, Vinatieri and KC.

Grade: B+

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

Decided to hit the non-receivers hard at first and after Alexander, grabbed Manning at the 2.08 and then doubled on Henry and Duckett (but missed out on McGahee). Went directly into mining WR's for Price, Stallworth, Branch and McCareins. Upside on all of them and at least three should hit for him.

Took the dive to grab NE at the 9.05 to gain an advantage but the wait until 11th for TE left him only Witten - nice sleeper type but less likely to pay off. Boldin pick in the 10th may pay off nicely at the end of the season. Ended up with a some nice upside on a team that could develop well. Manning and Alexander are the cornerstones and most other picks could outperform where they were chosen. Not a powerhouse team, but one that could grow.

Starters: Manning, Alexander, Henry, Price, Stallworth, Branch, Duckett (flex), Witten, Kasay and NE.

Grade: B
