Worst part of the draft was that the QB were going early, which was perfect for me because it got down to me and one other guy and Schaub and Ryan were left... so I felt I would get outstanding value for either in a later round. That is why I went with Gonzalez and Rice on the bench so in the event of injuries/matchups/etc etc I can go with them. However, the team that drafts Favre in round 3 (!) takes Ryan in round 6 (!!!)... and the team that drafts Rivers in round 3 (!) takes Schaub in round 7 (!!!). I was going to take Schaub once I saw Ryan go but he went before I could get him in round 7.
This left just McNabb, Cassell (ugh), Cutler, Palmer, Garrard and Hasselbeck as the remaining viable options. I thought about McNabb but I value him as much as I do the other ones (except Cassell- won't be going for him) which is why I went TE and Rice next... figuring I could pick up any of those QB later. I grabbed Hasselbeck primarily for insurance and matchup, plus I figure if Cutler bombs in Chicago's run offense then at least I got a possible playoff QB without a running game to get some points on. Felt it was great value then, even though I don't like having two QB of the same tier on my team.
Didn't like drafting Gore but the only other candidate at RB I thought was close to upper tier was Westbrook... and I just don't really like drafting Westbrook unless I absolutely have to. And Singletary has said he wants to run a lot more, and now with Martz not being there... maybe it works out. If not I have Thomas (current flex) and Rice there if necessary. And I feel my WR are solid (if not spectacular, don't have the stud I was hoping for) and should get points based off of matchups and how they progress.
This is the first league I have ever been on where I don't have a Lion on my roster. Maybe that means success this year
