do both these drafts have flex positions? cause otherwise your wr's are too weak.

If Jones Drew can play 16 games like he did the last half of last year, your looking good. He might put up more pts. than Bwest. He's a tough little sucker.

I've got the 4th pick in 10 minutes and not really liking it. Assuming LT, Jackson and Johnson are gone, I really have no idea who to pick. Gore's knee's are just like Buckhalter's, and I really could not stand rooting for Shaun Alexander. I'll go with Addai or Rudi probably, then hope for McGahee on the way back.

[ice grillin you]

take westbrook if its a receptions league

[PhillyPhanInDC]

As IGY said, if it's PPR, go with Westy or Bush. If not, you have to go with Gore, Alexander, or Addai in that order. Granted, Gore's knees are a question mark, but he showed no effects last year, and he was a farging beast. If you don't take him, and he puts up similar numbers, which he's projected to do, you'll be kicking yourself in the ass. Just make sure you handcuff him, which you can do on the FA wire later. While Alexander is as dry as wood, he should definately rebound from last year, and should be good as a RB1.

[SunMo]

do not take bush 4th

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Should have clarified that. At four, with LT, Jackson, Johnson going it should be Westy or Addai. Bush's ranking would definately get moved way up in a PPR league, but he shouldn't be in the top five.

[Dillen]

It wasn't a receptions league, and I ended up taking Rudi 4th. I wasn't thrilled with it, but 4th-7th is the worst spot to pick I think because everyone in there is bunched the same. At least I know I'll get 1300 yards and 10 TDs.

Final results:
1. (4) Rudi Johnson RB
2 (17) Maurice Drew RB
3. (24) Marvin Harrison WR
4. (37) Anquan Boldin WR
5. (44) Philip Rivers QB
6. (57) Laveranues Coles WR
7. (64) New England DEF
8. (77) Deuce McAllister RB
9. (84) Benjamin Watson TE
10. (97) Matt Hasselbeck QB
11. (104) Isaac Bruce WR
12. (117) Heath Miller TE
13. (124) Leon Washington RB
14. (137) Carolina DEF
15. (144) Matt Stover K

Deuce and Maurice Drew both have the same bye week, but in the 8th round he was way too good to pass up. I was going to take Deangelo Williams or Brandon Jackson with my 13th pick but they were both taken right before my pick. I'm pretty happy with my team.
