CFFFL AFC Discussion

I'm going to win a lot of matchups with that team.  And no, my second pick wasn't a "big stretch."  Look where I was picking in the second round.  I needed a quarterback and ended up taking a flier on Reggie Bush a few picks later.  If Bush pans out and Culpepper has the kind of year he's capable of having in Miami, then my team is going to be very solid.  If not, then oh well, lesson learned.

Yes, Culpepper was a huge stretch in the 2nd round - even with the 31st overall pick.  I got Vick with the 90th pick, and there isn't nearly that much of an expected difference between the two.  In fact, I had Vick higher on my draft board regardless, so I kind of rule for getting his herpes-riddled ass at #90.

Plus, there are no "matchups" in this league.  Points only, not H2H.

All of the good running backs were gone.  Most of the good receivers were as well.  When I looked at the players I had available to me at the time, Culpepper looked the best to me.

Look, if the guy ends up sucking, I'm toast anyway.  But if he has a great season (as he should with a good Miami offense) then yeah, I think it was a good pick.

We'll see.

PS: As for the "matchups" comments, I was speaking in a general sense as if my "team" was playing against another hypothetical team.

Your team has AIDS.

Have you been tossing Tomlinson's salad again?

I have to wait to see if I end up with him in another league.  If not, then yes.

WR: Joey Galloway
WR: Lavernues Coles
WR: Jerry Porter
WR: Ashley Lelie

That could potentially be an absolutely brutally bad corps of WR's.  At best, they might be mediocre.

[Rome]

Or I could simply make a trade or two or pick up someone via the waiver wire.

Or they could turn out to be inspired picks.  Hell, Tomlinson could be a bust this year.  Who the farg knows?

No.

that is incredibly accurate?

[Father Demon]

I wasn't there for the draft, and had to pre-rank.  Ended up with a defensive player on the bench, so that sucked a bit.

All said and done, I think I'm middle of the pack.  There will be waiver-wire activity, that's for sure.

QB: Green
WR: R. Moss, Matt Jones, and D. Branch (if he ever signs, that is)
RB: Alexander, DUnn
TE: Pollard
K: Kaeding
DEF: Vilma, Taylor, and Dawkins

Bench: Givens, C. Perry, and M. Anderson

not bad at all for not being there. Your only pitfall could be matt Jones from what I see. If Branch plays--which I think he will--your in good shape guy

[QB Eagles]

Since everyone else seems to be reporting their roster I suppose I will too. I think I'm in pretty good shape, but two of my three RBs are rookies who could either be running for 1000 yards this season or riding the pine by Week 3. If Johnson gets hurt I'm pretty much screwed.

As of 8/15:

QB: Matt Hasselbeck, Drew Brees
WR: Santana Moss, Reggie Brown, Eddie Kennison, Roddy White
RB: Larry Johnson, Joseph Addai, Mike Bell
TE: Randy McMichael
K: Josh Scobee
D: London Fletcher(-Baker), James Farrior, Madieu Williams

I pre-ranked like 200 players or some shtein (see Geek Test thread).  Not sure how I ended up with Jones, but I think if I don't improve that position, Givens may play in his place a few times. 

Or maybe he'll have a breakout season, and everyone will call me Father Demon The Genius.
