I like fu**wads, F'd by da grn weenie and Dirty Hippies. All of them made it out with passable QBs and 3 feature RBs. fu**wads did especially good getting Anderson, Braylon and Housh, he's probably pretty happy about the Favre trade, Thomas Jones look s a lot better after that deal.

Of those three, only one of them (F**kwads) actually drafted for his team, too. The other two just lucked out with the CPU picking for them. I'm Arrogant Americans. I missed out on most top RBs, but I got Westbrook and two rookies who are going to start along with what I think is a pretty good set of WRs. We'll see how it goes, but this is the best I've felt after a draft.

That's interesting, the pre-rankings must have been skewed heavily towards RBs for both of those to end up with 3 feature RBs.

How does somebody have Leon Washington as their #2 back? Did he take Eli with his 2nd pick?

Westbrook is a top RB if your league gives points for RB receptions. I hope you have another option at RB, I can see Forte or Smith having a decent year, but not both. I think you made out pretty well, Westbrook, Brees and Wayne are all arguably top 5 at their positions, I also really like Fitz and Olsen for you.

Yeah, our league rewards for receiving yards, receiving TDs, and return yards and TDs as well. I picked up Steve Smith of NYG and DeSean Jackson of Philly with my last two picks, hoping that one might crack a starting lineup and return kicks or something.

Here is Norman Nobodys' draft:

Norman Nobodys
1. 	(1) 	LaDainian Tomlinson
2. 	(24) 	Eli Manning
3. 	(25) 	Steve Smith
4. 	(48) 	Hines Ward
5. 	(49) 	Marvin Harrison
6. 	(72) 	LenDale White
7. 	(73) 	Dallas Clark
8. 	(96) 	Indianapolis
9. 	(97) 	Rudi Johnson
10. 	(120) 	Donte' Stallworth
11. 	(121) 	Jason Elam
12. 	(144) 	Amani Toomer
13. 	(145) 	JaMarcus Russell
14. 	(168) 	Seattle
15. 	(169) 	Cedric Benson
16. 	(192) 	Mark Bradley
17. 	(193) 	Desmond Clark
18. 	(216) 	Leon Washington
19. 	(217) 	Demetrius Williams

Here's mine:

Arrogant Americans
1. 	(5) 	Brian Westbrook
2. 	(20) 	Reggie Wayne
3. 	(29) 	Larry Fitzgerald
4. 	(44) 	Drew Brees
5. 	(53) 	Anthony Gonzalez
6. 	(68) 	Matt Forte
7. 	(77) 	Greg Olsen
8. 	(92) 	Kevin Smith
9. 	(101) 	Jabar Gaffney
10. 	(116) 	Tampa Bay
11. 	(125) 	Jay Cutler
12. 	(140) 	Mason Crosby
13. 	(149) 	Ben Utecht
14. 	(164) 	Pierre Thomas
15. 	(173) 	Washington
16. 	(188) 	Josh Brown
17. 	(197) 	Dominic Rhodes
18. 	(212) 	Steve Smith
19. 	(221) 	DeSean Jackson

[CM1847]

So he has Lendale White but is starting Leon Washington? He's also got Marvin Harrison on the bench. And he took Cedric Benson? Interesting choices, did he actually show up or let auto-draft take over?

I like DeSean Jackson as a late round sleeper, the Eagles are permenently searching for WRs, he might step up, good late-round pick. Good pick up with Rhodes too, if Addai gets hurt he could have a huge year.

[cliburn]

He was there, but I don't think he knew about Benson. I don't think he's actually set his starting line-up yet, so don't think his starting line-up is set in stone just yet.

I was kind of proud of the Rhodes and Jackson picks; I think Smith could be good too, but they're all risks.

Smith and Jackson should both have some chances to make plays and Rhodes is an injury away from being the feature back on one of the best offenses in the league. All three good late round picks IMO.
