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.
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.
QB- Peyton Manning
RB- Ray Rice
RB- Jahvid Best
WR- Calvin Johnson
WR- Steve Johnson
WR- Julio Jones
TE- Jimmy Graham
D- Lions
Backups
QB- Fitzpatrick
RB- Fred Jackson
James Starks
WR-Mike Thomas
Plaxico
Im pretty happy with this team, thoughts?
