Draft by Team
Evaluating a ten team draft means looking for playmakers - it is just easier to get them than in a larger league. With 18 rounds, this league would still have some depth out on the waiver wire but not much.

| Started: RB, WR, WR, RB, QB
The first pick netted Larry Johnson but then really took some calculated risks that could pay off huge or sink this team. Went with double WR with Holt and Harrison and then grabbed Addai as RB2 (but no Rhodes later on). Then found Brady at the 5.01 for a huge start. Top players in each of the three highest scoring positions.
Rookie fell in this mock and getting both DeAngelo Williams and Laurence Maroney in the 8th and 9th rounds gives his almost every rookie RB that matters. With Johnson as RB1, he gets to pick RB2 and RB3 from Addai, Williams and Maroney - bound to find two of the three worth starting. Early pick of Panthers defense helps and while waited until 10th for a TE in Miller, he has upside. This team should be at least competitive and if he has those rookie RBs deliver, he could be almost unbeatable.
Plan Grade: A |
Started: RB, WR, WR, RB, WR
Interestingly enough, this team followed much the same plan as team #1 with Tomlinson followed by two top WRs - Owens and Boldin. Then he opted for safer pick of Dunn and the 5.03 went to Plaxico Burress for WR3 before his QB or RB3. That start just looks a bit less effective than team #1 though a solid start to be sure.
Added Foster in the 6th (but no DeAngelo) and finally got a QB in the 7th with Bledsoe. Vinatieri should at least be fine at PK if not stellar. Overall, this build a good team but his QB is weaker and his RB depth has more downside than upside. Solid throughout, this team has less room to grow than team #1 and has to hope nothing develops away from his players.
Plan Grade: B+ |

| Started: RB, WR, RB, RB, WR
After taking the last of the "Big 3", snapped up Fitzgerald for WR1 and then missed out on a top WR2 so wisely went back to RB and grabbed Kevin and Julius Jones who fell shockingly far in this draft. That was a major coup though he later missed out on getting Barber to insure that pick.
Driver should make a decent WR2 and Bulger in the 6th was a nice find for what should be at least an average QB. Waited until the 14th round for his TE and ended up with no advantage there or for DEF or PK though the picks were solid enough. Had great depth at QB and RB which could later be traded for a better WR crew if he wants. Solid team to be sure with all those RB's but in a ten team league, not a lot of playmakers outside that position.
Plan Grade: B |
Started: RB, RB, WR, WR, QB
Nice start with Portis and Davis at RB and then discovered that the WR's were getting low by the 3.04 - still went for the position and only came away with Randy Moss and Galloway as starters. Hasselbeck in the 5th rounded out the core of players.
Grabbed Thomas Jones for RB3 which is looking weaker every day and then went back after WR yet again with Glenn and Evans. That makes four mildly interesting WR in the first eight rounds and perhaps not a difference maker in the batch. Ended up with Ahman Green as well for RB4 so this team looks like it will get worse as year progresses. By the 16th round, went on a QB spree defying all logic. Must have thought that 2 QB could be started? Makes no real sense here. Overall, this is a weaker team that will likely get worse as the season progresses.

Started: RB, RB, WR, RB, WR
Barber and Westbrook were two very solid picks here, particularly with the reception points, and went with Santana Moss at the 3.05 despite the top tier of WR being gone. Taylor in the 4th should make a nice flex and Andre Johnson as WR2 is about right. Still no QB.
Waited on that position until the 9th round to get Trent Green and Favre in the 11th just in case. Ended up with some decent upside players in Walker and Watson but the bang for the buck is a little lacking in this plan, particularly at QB for a ten team league. After the second round, just followed all the runs and took whatever happened to be there and ended up with a fairly mediocre team that will struggle to just be average.
Plan Grade: C |
Started: RB, QB, RB, WR, WR
After securing James as RB1, could not resist Manning at the 2.05 and in a ten team league, perfectly understandable. That left him with Lewis as RB2 and he doubled on WR to get Horn and Houshmandzadeh. Other than Manning, that looks like a below average start in a ten team league.
Liked the Gonzalez pick in the 6th for some punch at TE and then CHI as the DEF in the 7th another "better than average" starter. Overall, ended up with a team much like most with Peyton Manning. It is mainly him and a bevy of average players other then his DEF and perhaps TE (the two lower scoring positions they are). His RB's are weak and could be without even a backup if Taylor gets hurt like usual. This plan did not pan out well other than Manning.

Started: RB, RB, WR,WR, TE
This is a pretty standard plan for a mid-round pick in a ten team league but it played out better than normal for this team. Went with Ronnie Brown and Lamont Jordan before scooping up WRs with Roy Williams and Reggie Wayne who surprisingly fell in this actual draft. Still reached Heap with his 5th pick for a very solid start.
Manning in the 6th was a great pick as was Benson in the 7th. Crumpler was a great value pick in the 8th though likely not needed. Waited until late to get PK or DEF so no advantage there. Overall, ended up with a pretty solid team that could grow a bit. It is not a monster team by any means, but drafter made some shrewd picks and has good backups in virtually every position.
Plan Grade: B+ |
Started: RB, RB, WR, WR, TE
Using almost the identical plan to team #7, this produced Steven Jackson and McGahee as starting RBs, and then picked up Hines Ward and Darrell Jackson for the starting WR. Good solid start but decidedly unspectacular. TE Shockey as the 5.08 was a very prudent move that should help.
McNabb at the 6.03 was a needed pick though he could have been Eli Manning or Bulger. Surprisingly went for the aging Rod Smith with his 7th pick and did not get RB3 until the 9th round when he was fortunate enough to still fine Rhodes who had no business still being there. Overall, this plan did much what it did next door except for using that 7th round pick on a RB, he went with WR3 that makes little sense in a league that only mandates 2 starting WR. Got great value picks for much of his depth and the team is solid, just a little less so than team #7.

Started: RB, RB, QB, RB, WR
This team opted for the RB rich pickings at the end of a ten team league and took Cadillac and Rudi Johnson before going with Carson Palmer at the 3.09 as the second QB taken in the league. That seems a little early for a player still recovering from a bad knee injury but could be a steal if he ends up replicating 2005.
Grabbed Reggie Bush at the 4.02 for a nice flex player but waited on WR so long that his starters are just Branch and Stallworth - pretty weak in a ten team league and with reception points no less. Culpepper with the 8th round pick must have felt good thinking more about 2004 Daunte than the 2006 one. Ended up with a solid team but one that will be devoid of stars unless something unexpected happens. This is really just an average team at best.
Plan Grade: C+ |
Started: WR, WR, TE, WR, RB
The back-end swing tried valiantly to do something different and it appears to have worked. Went with Steve Smith and Chad Johnson for best in breed at WR, then could not resist Antonio Gates with the 3.10 pick. That awesome start left him scrambling for RBs but he did a nice job filling those in.
Went with Parker at the 5.10 and then reached the bookends of Bell and Dayne, and Brown and White. This team may take a few weeks to clearly unfold, but it could be a major surprise with easily the best WRs and TE in the league and enough RB's that he can likely fill 2 or 3 starters each week and has Chambers as WR3 just in case he wants to go that direction. QB is weaker with Warner and no Leinart but as long as Warner delivers, this could be a good team and maybe even a great team if those RB situations resolve themselves early with a productive runner.
