Prepare for Total Ndamunation.
How many teams are there in this league? The quality of your team is such that it looks to be an 8 team league.

This is very good team, I especially like Percy Harvin on the bench. I think Gronkowski will wind up being your starting TE before very long.

12 team league, snake format for the draft. I had the #3 pick, had hoped to get Arian Foster but had to settle on Johnson. I may end up starting Harvin, I had him last year and he played well for me...especially since he does returns too. I like Gronkowski as a backup, but since he splits time I am hesitant to start him at first. I tried to draft Ndamukong Suh as my kicker, but that didn't really work out.

Looks like a standard draft in a 12 team league to me. I'm guessing it went something like this:

CJ
Jennings
Moreno
Maclin
Ben
Harvin
Winslow

I don't disagree Manderly6, that's probably accurate, though I will say that if the QBs are awarded points on equal level with the RB/WR position, then Ben goes higher.

The only pick I am not fond of is Moreno, who is turning more into a 3rd down back, and not a 3 down back. I don't like the idea of McGahee vulturing short TDs in an obvious scenario here, unless the league is a PPR/yardage combo league. Also, I have an adage not to rely on RBs from teams I think will have a poor season, in the order of 4-12, or 5-11.

Nah people started to vulch QBs at the end of the first/beginning of the second round so I took Roethlisberger in the 2nd round before all the decent ones were gone. Then I think it was Jennings, Maclin, Steelers D, Winslow, Moreno, Britt, Harvin, Bush, Fitzpatrick, Gronkowski, Helu, Henery, and finally Sproles. Something like that.

If he makes it to the final round in your draft I want to play in your league. LOL.

He went 7th round in my first league.

Bah I don't remember exactly. It may have been 6th or 7th, but I was the first one to take a defense. Had too much instability last year so I wanted to grab something proven. Given the reaction of several people when I did it, they were about to make the same pick.

I take def last pick every time. Its the easiest position to "strategize" week to week and no one keeps two on their roster so the waiver wire is easy pickings.
