Team #1
Started: RB, WR, QB, RB, WR
Starters: Brady, Tomlinson, Lynch, Crumpler, Fitzgerald, Burress, Galloway, Kaeding, CHI
Have to hate this team if you are in this league, Took Tomlinson naturally and felt so confident that he grabbed Larry Fitzgerald and then top QB Brady which was needed if he wanted to land a top 4 QB as this draft played out. Then still reached Marshawn Lynch as his RB2 and Burress thanks to all the grabbing of QBs likely set off by this team.
Used the 6.12 to take the Bears defense and still managed to reach Galloway as WR3. Kaeding is a solid kicker and CAR as a back-up defense very nice. Tight end would be an advantage here but not a liability either. All in all, the only weakness is with RB depth and below average tight ends but so what? He has one of the top RB, QB, WR and DEF and Tomlinson probably counts like a RB and a half. Not quite the depth that would be desired but otherwise a definite contender for the title.

Team #2
Started: RB, WR, WR, RB, RB
Starters: Leinart, Jackson. Norwood, Winslow, Wayne, Houshmandzadeh, Cotchery, Wilkins, NYG
Like team #1, taking Jackson gave this team the freedom to snag both Wayne and Houshmandzadeh for WR's though Roy Williams seems like a better pick here instead of a second wideout for the Bengals. Waited until the 4.11 for RB2 and still reached Norwood who was followed by the rookie Peterson for some big-time upside in RB. But only two will start so it made other positions suffer, particularly QB.
Winslow a very nice TE to be sure and WR3 of Cotchery probably okay but waited until the 8.11 to take QB Leinart. That was scary enough to merit taking Coulter with the next pick. Waiting until the final pick for the NYG defense means no advantage at all there. Overall, QB is below average, RB very strong as is TE and WR. If Leinart or Cutler can step up and not be a liability, team can compete with great RB and two good WR's.

Team #3
Started: RB, RB, RB, QB, WR
Starters: McNabb, L Johnson, James, Shockey, Brown, Mark Clayton, T Glenn, Vinatieri, NE
Classic RB hog here starting out with Larry Johnson, then James and then Portis who could not be passed by at the 3.03. But that was just two starters of the first three picks and Johnson is currently not in camp so possibly this draft started at the 2.10. If LJ gets into camp, team will have some trade bait perhaps but ended up with weakest WR's in the league.
McNabb a nice value at the 4.10 in this QB happy league and Delhomme a decent QB2. Shockey was nice for TE but the WR did not start until round five and produced R Brown, M Clayton and Glenn. Nice upside on the first two but it's like the team is missing a WR1 in a reception points league. NE always a nice defense and Vinatieri as PK feels a lot better than he'll likely actually produce. This team carries risk to be sure with Johnson holding out and McNabb often injured. No advantage in WR means an injury to McNabb or if LJ really does hold out and this team is sunk.

Team #4
Started: RB, WR, RB, WR, QB
Starters: Kitna, Gore, Benson, V Davis, Owens, Evans, Williamson, S Graham, STL
Nice value picking on this team. After RB Gore, opted for WR Owens and then back to grab Benson who was a great value at the 3.04. Back to WR for Evans before settling on Kitna at QB which was a huge value at the 5.04 pick in this league. With 4 QBs taken by the end of the 3rd round, waiting until the 5th worked out really well here.
Vernon Davis offers great upside at TE but WR3 of Williamson probably won't last long. Nice picks but loading up so heavy on RB seemed excessive with picks of K Jones as RB4 would have been a far better WR3 than ending up with Williamson. No WR depth either in a reception points league. Very solid at QB and RB and loved the TE Davis pick but the WR3 slot has yet to be filled and taking three tight ends makes little sense. Also waiting until the end for the STL defense means that the team will be getting a new DEF in free agency probably. Very nice six round start then fell apart with a perceived need to shore up RB and QB depth before getting more WR. This team will need to be a waiver wire hound for a few weeks.

Team #5
Started: RB, WR, RB, WR, WR
Starters: E Manning, Addai, T Jones, D Graham, Holt, Driver, H Ward, Gould, MIN
The five slot produced Addai and Holt as WR1 with the 2.08 is usually good though most would take Owens or Wayne there this year. T Jones very solid at the 3.05 pick and then tripled on WR for Driver, Ward and Calvin Johnson. That's so good at WR that he'll have problems deciding which WR to start if Calvin Johnson meets expectations.
Ended up waiting until the 9.05 for a QB and only found Eli Manning for a disadvantage in a high scoring position. Also waited until the very end to get TE Daniel Graham and MIN defense. This team just looks very average and barring some greatly exceeded expectations, will find it hard to compete with better teams. For taking so many WR early, the receiving crew here looks like it was drafted later than it was. Not much in the way of star power here but that has some to do with the names taken instead of the positions drafted. Just has a glaring weakness at QB, TE and DEF without the stud RB and WR to pull that off.
