Let me start off by saying I'm a big fan.  Your advice led me to drafting sleepers like P. Chung, W. Hayes, and Stylez White and I'm looking forward to good things.  

I've got C. Lofton, Pozluszny, G. Hayes and S. Bradley as my LBs.  Its a tackle-heavy league (TA-2pt, AT-1pt, INT-5pt, SCK-3pt) and we start 2 and must carry exactly 4 LBs at all times.  Now that Poz is out 3-4 weeks and Bradley bonked his noggin' I'm looking to pick someone up off waivers.  We use $100 cap and LBs are valued pretty heavily (Willis went #8 overall).  Derrick Johnson, L. Timmons, Dan Connor, and Z. Diles are all available.  While I was high on Bradley this summer, it seems he has been a borderline dissapointment so far in the offseason and throughout the preseason, and with the concussion issue it looks like he's my weakest link.  I was initially going to put like $16 each on Timmons 1st then D. Johnson 2nd, D. Connor 3rd at $11 and Z. Diles 4th at $6.

Do these moves seem reasonable?  Should I even drop Bradley for Connor/Diles?  Are Timmons/Johnson worth more/less than $16 FAAB cap money in your opinion?

Also, I have Atogwe, Finnegan, Meriweather, and Chung as my DBs, again, start 2 carry 4.  While my initial thoughts are to stick with what I've got, I know how important early-season moves can be, and I've got B. McFadden, G. Toler, M. Bullitt, K. Phillips and T.J. Ward on waivers.  How do you rank my current stable of DBs and do you think I should make a move on any of these guys?  

I know I have a lot of questions - but I'm guessing others may have similar dilemmas.  I look forward to hearing your input on this.  Thanks!
