NFL talk? Questions about American football?

Consistency is key for the first couple of rounds as well as looking at prior injuries from not only the previous season but going back to even the college years. It's also good to take risks on players you believe will have a breakout year, even if they're rookies. I picked up Julio Jones in one of my leagues and so far he's been solid in the preseason.

Only just seen this because I was doing the draft but I picked him too.

QB: Roethlisburger, Hasselbeck
RB: Foster, Bradshaw, Hightower, Thomas Jones
WR: Knox, Ward, Jones, Decker, Massaquoi
TE: Kevin Boss
K: Henery/Hanson
Def: Raiders

Took a few risks and missed out on several of my picks but it could have ended worse :smile:

Not best pleased with mine-its a very boom or bust team. Wells and Lynch should carry their offense, Vick is a top notch QB and Bowe is still the Chiefs only decent target. However it could well be that they each bust...

*Swears violently* Do you really think the Seahawks and Cards are going to rely on Kolb and Jackson? Nah, they have to run the ball and I've got there backs...

Aye. Pretty sure it was last pick and my time was running out. I meant to grab and old RB but grabbed a second kicker. Oh well :lol:

I wanted a QB first but the two I was going to take were taken before me despite me having an early pick. I'm pretty happy with my QBs. I wanted to grab Forte and the Bears def but they both went along with quite a few others I wanted but I'm reasonably happy with my team considering I have very little idea. I just tried to pick players I knew and liked at the beginning :tongue:
