Here's how it played out


Mid 1st: Chris Johnson (6th running back -- Titans plays easiest RUN D sched)

Mid 2nd: Vincent Jackson (Contract year -- 7th WR taken)

Mid 3rd: Peyton Manning (10th QB taken ... WTF?)

Mid 4th: Ahmad Bradshaw (He can catch them)

Mid 5th: Colston (Saints play easiest Pass D sched)

Mid 6th: Sidney Rice (SeaHawks 4th longest shot to win Super ball. Garbage time king)

Mid 7th: Reggie Bush (Can catch the football -- and who else can run it for MIA?)

Mid 8th: Brandon Pettigrew (Healthy Stafford -- good young posses TE)

Mid 9th: Pierre Thomas (best RB on a team that projects for NFL's easiest D sched)

Mid 10th: Danny Woodhead (When the Pats sign Randy Moss by week 2 -- this pick will be ABSOLUTELY MAJESTIC)

Mid 11th: Dustin Keller (excellent young possession TE starter)

Mid 12th: Snelling (back up RB in Atlanta. If the ancient Turner gets hurt - this pick is majestic)


Other Notables:

Louis Murphey (14th round) -- OAK's best WR -- one of the many NFL stars who made Tim Tebow look like a real QB in college.

New Orleans D (15th round) -- 11th D taken overall ... NO's projected to win 10.5 games this year .. play CAR twice ... play in dome = Turnovers.

I was planning to draft Randy Moss in the 18th round .. but he got scooped up. Biggest surprise to me all-night. I was going to take Moss in the 16th ... but these 13 other geeks were all studying sheets like mad ... so, I was counting on Moss to go undrafted. Woodhead was the Moss pick though.

not bad. Reggie Bush could have a huge year this year.

You better hope Chris Johnson gets a contract though

Chris Johnson actually needs to, you know, report to camp first. Peyton Manning hasn't thrown a football since like January. So yeah, that explains that.

good thing though is Peyton came off the PUP list and is expected now to play week 1.

I've never played Fantasy Football... are you only supposed to draft one QB?

Generally, one has a starter and backup. In 2011, if Peyton were my starter, I'd absolutely be drafting some sort of backup.

If my man can play more than seven or eight quarters, he'll have a good year. Hell, Shaun Hill was a serviceable fantasy quarterback last year.

Odds that Chris Johnson has a hammy issue sometime this year if/when he reports?

I gambled that he has to be healthy one of these years. He could have played late last year but they decided to hold him back.

Just seems like things are coming together there in Detroit, so what the hell.

I have:

Qb
Rodgers, Hasselbeck

Rb
Chris Johnson, Tolbert, Blount

Wr
Nicks, Julio Jones, Boldin, AJ Green, Steve Smith (Phil), Randy Moss

Te
Finley, Gresham

K
Matt Bryant

D
Detroit

So I'm thinking about making an offer to the guy that lost Charles from KC. I'm thinking of two offers.

1-Blount or Tolbert and Boldin for Charles Johnson
2-Rodgers, Johnson, and Boldin for Brady and Johnson

Any opinions?

Isn't Charles Johnson a defensive end?
