I love my RB depth, and will be looking to move one of my backups for a upgrade at TE or WR3.
Thoughts?
Definitely sitting pretty with all those RB's. Gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of a trade. I'd probably have to give the team an A- with the possibility of becoming an A after a trade to upgrade.
Here's my second team that I drafted, standard public league:
QB:Hasselbeck
WR: Terrell Owens
WR: Steve Smith
WR: Roy Williams
RB: Brian Westbrook
RB: Darren McFadden
TE: Dustin Keller
K: Mason Crosby
DEF: Green Bay
Bench: Eli Manning, Hines Ward, Derrick Mason, Jonathan Stewart, Selvin Young, Ricky Williams
By the time I picked my TE, I didn't have much to choose from on the board, so I'm hoping Keller sees some looks, but I also have a bit of RB depth to try to make a trade there. Other than that I liek my team once Steve Smith is back in the lineup.
This is a great team and you should be very happy.
Your RBs are VERY strong with Jackson and Lynch and you gotta like Palmer at QB -- he is very undervalued in drafts this year IMO.
You got great value at WR thanks to a couple of suspension slides. I think Marshall (along with Braylon Edwards) could be the best young WR in the NFL. Steve Smith is a great value, too. The first few weeks will be tough, but Calvin Johnson is a great #3.
Clark should be fine at TE and your K and DST look okay, too (I never worry about these positions that much anyway since TEs not in the top 3 are almost always equally mediocre and there are tons of Ks and DSTs on the waiver wire every year).
Nice work! Your team should compete all year.

Okay, just finished a 10-team league draft. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 DST, 1 K and 1 Flex. I was fortunate enough to land the #1 overall pick. Right after the draft, I then traded Carson Palmer and Santonio Holmes for Drew Brees and Braylon Edwards. While I hate to trade CP, I couldn't turn down that deal.
So, here's what I ended up with at the end of the night:
QB Drew Brees
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
RB Darren McFadden
WR Braylon Edwards
WR Brandon Marshall
TE Tony Gonzalez
RB/WR/TE Reggie Bush
K Neil Rackers
DST Eagles
QB Matt Hasselbeck
RB Matt Forte
RB Selvin Young
WR James Hardy
WR Vincent Jackson
DST Eagles
I think my team is pretty solid. A lot depends on whether McFadden and/or Bush reach their upside. If one of them does, I think this team could really contend.
What do you think?

Here's mine, fresh from last night. 12-team Yahoo league.

My first pick came down to Steven Jackson and Brady. It seems like the past couple of seasons I haven't had a strong RB corps so I focused on getting the best available RBs in the first couple rounds.
I posted this in another thread and thought maybe this was a better place to get it noticed by people:
10 team Yahoo basic league (round):
QB
Peyton Manning (2)
Brett Farve (11)
RB
Joseph Addai (1)
Willis McGahee (3)
Len Dale White (10)
WR
Marvin Harrison (5)
Chris Chambers (6)
Anthony Gonzalez (7)
Derrick Mason(12)
Darrell Jackson (14)
TE
Jason Witten (4)
Zach Miller (13)
K
Nate Kaeding (9)
Def
Pittsburgh (8)
Arizona (15)

What do you guys think my chances are for the year??
Did my draft last night -- I intentionally bucked conventional wisdom in a few places, just because following conventional wisdom has guided me to two consecutive bottom-feeder squads in this league. Plus, I also had the misfortune of picking 8th and missing any running back worth taking:
12 Team league -- pass TDs (5pt), rush/rec TDs (6pts), pass yds (25y=1pt), rush/rec yards (10y = 1pt)
QB: Tom Brady (NE)
RB: Reggie Bush (NO)
RB: Earnest Graham (TB)
WR: Reggie Wayne (IND)
WR: Hines Ward (PIT)
WR: Nate Burleson (SEA
TE: Dallas Clark (IND)
K: Josh Brown (SEA)
DEF: Jacksonville (JAX)
BN: Kevin Curtis (WR-PHI)
BN: Limas Sweed (WR-PIT)
BN: Matt Forte (RB-CHI)
BN: Chris Johnson (RB-TEN)
BN: Jon Kitna (QB-DET)
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022
I'm in a 12 team keeper league. You can keep as many players as you want, for up to five years, but we have a salary cap and the price on saved players goes up each year, so it becomes a balancing act. Here's what I've got:
QB
Tom Brady*
Kurt Warner
Troy Smith
Matt Leinart
RB
Steven Jackson*
Frank Gore*
Chris Johnson
Antonio Pittman
Ahman Green
WR
Andre Johnson*
Greg Jennings*
Wes Welker*
Reggie Williams
Steve Smith (NYG)
Chris Henry
Sam Hurd
TE
Jeremy Shockey*
Donald Lee
K
Mason Crosby
Jason Hanson
D
Steelers
Colts

I'm uncomfortably thin at RB, but I knew going into the draft it would be that way. The bad teams threw all their players back and then gobbled up the few worthwhile RBs that were available in the first couple of rounds, before I had a pick. Last year I had the best record and got to the title game, I figure I should have a fighting chance to get back there this year.
