Started: RB, WR, WR, QB, WR

Started safe enough with Alexander but then seems to have jumped for a wideout despite having seven of them already gone. Meant bypassing TE Gates, all but ten RB's and all but one QB to get a tier 2 WR. Followed that up with yet another WR in Chambers to offer a pretty solid yet unspectacular pair of wideouts at the expense of playmakers at any other position. Manning in the 4th round was a great pick-up and helps but then went back to WR's to gain Houshmandzadeh. Has three of the top 17 WR's but none of the top seven.

Went for RB2 finally in the 6th round with Ahman Green over Thomas Jones and then tagged Cooley for a solid TE. Overall, has a great RB, QB, PK and solid WR's but there's less punch here than possible with the surprise chase of WR's early on at the expense of other positions. Figure could have gone Alexander, Jordan and Gates and still ended up with much of the later roster and would have shored up positions with less risk and better firepower. Appears that the huge run on WR set the team off chasing and that cost him in other positions when the first pick often allows starting runs instead of running after them. Manning was a key pick-up here that helped a lot. Major hole at RB2 will be very hard to fill though.

Started: RB, WR, RB, WR, TE

Took the natural pick with Tomlinson and then reached Moss even with the WR frenzy that had happened. That allowed him to still get Westbrook in the 3rd and Roy Williams in the 4th. Gonzo should be at least good at TE if not upper tier and WIllie Parker was a nice flex pickup in the 5th round.

Finally grabbed a QB in the 7th with Bledsoe but that was the 8th QB taken and offers no advantage. Back-up him up almost immediately with Delhomme for more non-advantage firepower. Overall, Nice set of RB' and Gonzo and I personally really like the WR's that have Moss and Roy Williams with Glenn, Stallworth and Matt Jones to use for WR3 and even flex if needed. Balanced risky upside (Jones) with Stallworth and Glenn is a nice fallback just in case. DEF and PK no advantage. Missing out on a top QB in a 10 man league hurts more but solid picks otherwise should keep the team competitive despite only having LT and Moss as known stars.

Plan Grade: B+

For a a mid-round draft pick, I loved the way this came together and admittedly the player taken helped. Started with James and then took the Manning plunge in the mid-2nd round which hurts much less at that point in a 10 team league. Still reached Domanick Davis for RB2 and then scooped top tier TE of Shockey followed by upside RB of Bush in the fifth.

Great DEF in CHI will help some as will 2005's #1 PK of Feeley. Took McAllister to ensure would have an RB3. Pick of Vick in the 10th seemed a little premature with Robo-Manning on board. His WR crew of Walker, Porter, Wilford, Moulds, Curtis and even Edwards seems excessively deep in a 16 man roster but should be okay if he can figure out which ones to start each week. Top QB, TE, DEF and PK with enough RB and WR to compete. I like this team that can really emerge if Manning returns to 2004 form and Bush or Taylor surprises. Nice plan for the mid-round pick.

Plan Grade: A-

Started: RB. WR, RB, WR, QB

In a ten team league not on either end of the rounds, this is likely the most prudent plan and it had nice results. Went with Cadillac and then Owens, with McGahee and then Ward rounding out the core. Still reached Brady at QB with the 5.07. Arguably as strong a start as this slot could produce. Doubled on RB with Foster and Benson though would have made more sense with Jones/Benson or Foster/Williams.

Overall, nice team. Top QB, and solid core with Caddy, McGahee and either Benson or Maroney to emerge. TE Smith is a personal favorite though in a ten man league much less an advantage but Watson is another up-and-comer and should fill the position well enough between the two. This team has some firepower with Brady, Owens, and Cadillac and upside picks in Benson, Maroney, Watson, Smith, R Brown and even Burleson. This was a safe route to take and produced a solid team. RB depth could be either terrific or non-existent so a little more risk than desired. Still, the plan works.

Plan Grade: B+

Started: RB RB, WR, WR, TE,

Easily the safest plan at the end and one that often works better when there has not been an odd feeding frenzy on WR in the second round. Went with Ronnie Brown and Rudi Johnson for solid start and then grabbed D Jackson and Burress for decent WR picks after the run had started. Still reached Heap at the 5.09 which then forced QB at 6.02 that still produced Bulger. A bit safe but pretty nice overall.

Rhodes and Dayne could end up as nice additions and Evans, Muhammad and Jurevicius will easily provide a nice WR3 and even flex each week. There is no real major firepower here since every pick went for best value after runs were well underway but it built a solid team. By no means the worst team in the league but will have trouble coming up with big weeks to become a top team with a lack of big playmakers. Solid often means .500 in a ten man league. Nice job at value picks, but no player a particular standout.
