Looks like a solid draft. Just keep an eye on your wk 7 RBs. McCoy, Benson, and Bradshaw all have a wk 7 bye. You do have Moreno and Stewart for that wk. How many teams?

Nice catch on the byes, but I already had noticed that. Thanks! It's a 10 teamer. Do you think I went too early for IDP's or does that seem about right? I really wanted one of Cole, Tuck or Allen as my DL, with the preference being Cole.....and I got him.

sorry if this answer is alittle bland but, i really think that if you like a player and you believe they are gonna have a good season and you grab them maybe a round too early but, you get them, then you did the right thing. i have in the past not reached for someone i had a crush on and then watched as they had a great season. i would rather have the player i wanted and they flop then to play a whole season wishing i grabbed him sooner while he is playing great, just like i thought he would.

for me i always get a copy of the draft board either by team or the round by round version, especially in a keeper league or a league with the same group every year so i can see who owners draft year after year. i also get that so i can dwell on my picks and see, by they're performances, if i really reached or if it played out like i thought it would. (my draft prep advice)

now did you reach too early, i think no. you got the IDPs you wanted and still grabbed what i think will be a top 10 QB in Roethlisberger. i like cole this year on that line and i really think timmons is gonna be a top 3 LB. i have grabbed him in my other leagues, and yes i think i overpaid for him in a recent auction, but i did get him.

Thanks Bill. I appreciate your honesty. I do feel good about getting the guys I want. I usually enter both football and baseball drafts every year with the thought that I may jump on a guy I want a round or two too early, but like you, I'd rather get the guy I want and have him be a dud than miss out on him and then watch him have the fantastic year I expected on my buddy's team....

Any other opinions on my draft? I'd love to hear more.....

I really like the draft from a defensive perspective. I give it an 8.5.
