Started: RB, WR, WR, RB, RB

Started out with Larry Johnson and still found Anquan Boldin for a top WR. I liked what he did next - grabbed Reggie Wayne for a great WR2 and then used his swing to secure the CAR rushing game with Foster and Williams. That may seem wasting a pick but he was able to start out with three great picks and then still have both super solid RB and WR starters.

Overall, grabbed best defense in CHI next and then still reached Warner at the 7.01. In 14 team league, That is a great start. Top RB and DEF, two very good WR and the CAR rushing game. Even landed Rackers later at PK. Nice sleepers in Jones and Lundy at RB no less. Everyone hates the #1 team and this is looking like a team to hate by the rest of the league. Tight end is weak.

Plan Grade: A

Started: RB, WR, RB, WR, RB

Followed a similar plan to team #1 but after Alexander and Moss, opted for Jamal Lewis for a rock solid RB set that added Mike Bell in the 5th. That could be a great set of RBs but he paid a price for that with Houshmandzadeh at WR2 and then later Keyshawn for starting WR.

Trent Green a nice grab in the 7th and wisely took Miller as TE before they were completely drained. This team is solid though it appears to have less pop than team #1. Good effort for what was available and nice depth in all positions.

Plan Grade: A-

Started: RB, WR, RB, QB, WR

After Tomlinson, reached Terrell Owens perhaps thanks only to his hamstring keeping him out of practice. Dunn at the 3.03 locks up a nice backfield in a 14 team league and Hasselbeck will be above average at QB. Javon Walker as WR2 is a risk but has undeniable upside.

Overall, Witten a solid TE and has some upside in Kitna, Norwood and Givens. Bottom half of starters are average at best but the top half will keep team in competition. Team does have some growing room and could look better two months from now.

Plan Grade: B+

Started: RB, TE, RB, WR, WR

After snagging Tiki Barber, opted to go with Antonio Gates with his second pick over available tier 1 WR and without reception points, the move is less advantageous but still nets him an undeniable difference maker. Droughns fills in at RB2 and then had a three WR stretch that brought in Andre Johnson, Kennison and Bruce - not too shabby though not spectacular.

Overall., waited on PK and DEF and Plummer in the 9th was too late. Leaves him below average at QB and only Brees to fall back on. Solid team but his best player is in the lowest scoring position - TE.

Plan Grade: B

Started: RB, QB, RB, TE, RB

This plan worked very well, only with different players used. Steven Jackson was a solid choice at RB and then Manning was too much to pass up - he fell too far. An RB at the 3.05 was appropriate but could have been Benson, Gore or Dillon with a lot less risk. Shockey was a great pick at the 4.10 and then Taylor comes in to make the RB2 risk that much higher - he could have been Maroney, Lendale White, Thomas Jones - almost anyone else.

Overall, he did back-up Davis with Smith though that looks a little shaky too. This team is pretty solid even with the risky picks and were they more upside players without the risk, this roster would look as good as almost any with Manning taken early. Plan grade is the positions - not the players.

Plan Grade: A-

Started: RB, RB, QB, WR, WR

A standard approach that worked out well. Went with Ronnie brown and then took a small swing at the fence with Reggie Bush who was joined later by McAllister. Brady at the 3.06 should be a difference maker and then needed two wideouts and went for the veterans Horn and Rod Smith.

Overall, his tight ends are weak but both have great upside and could surprise. Nice mixture of old veteran receivers and young upside bucks. Waited until the end for DEF and PK but still a solid effort. This plan is well suited for a mid draft pick or less in a 14 team league.

Plan Grade: A-
