qb- daunte culpepper is the best fantasy qb in the biz, regardless of what people tell you. carson palmer should improve further this year, cause hes got a ton of weapons. A
rb- i dont expect tiki to have a similar year to his career year last year, but hes still ok. curtis martin is a sleeper this year, because people think he'll drop off. guess what, people have been saying that for 6 years and it hasnt happened yet, so i expect another good year from martin. portis doesnt fit in gibbs' trap/counter offense, but hes good for 1,300 yards and 6 td's, which is damn good for a 3rd option. mike anderson will start for a week or two, then he'll be benched for tatum bell. B-
wr- torry holt produces year in and year out, can't knock him. definitely a solid pick. i don't like ARE has a starting wide receiver, he's going to get beat up by big corners. keary colbert was my sleeper wr last year, if he can reduce his drops he could emerge as delhomme's #1 option. reggie williams was a sleeper for me this year, he's looked great in camp/pre season and will be byron's #1 target this year. evans is a deep/red zone threat, so you gotta like that. driver is meh. B+
te- l.j. smith is a top 5 fantasy end if he stays healthy. ben troupe is my #1 sleeper at the te position, he'll catch 60 balls in norm chows offense. A
k- i have nugent in a few leagues, cause hes got a hammer for a leg and the jets will put some points on the board. rookie mentality can scare me off a bit, but that doesnt reflect too much into fantasy football. B
defense- #3 defense in my book, forces turnovers and generally is just a valuable team defense. A
what pick did you have? this is one of the best teams i've seen on this board.

Great QB duo Your trio fo Barber, Portis, and C-Mart is good. Your weakness is at WR. You have some sleeper WR, though, so if they produce you should be fine. LJ Smith will have a good year. I have Buffalo DEF ranked number 1.

Ill be really happy if I win all the money..I barely ever win anything...
The entire draft board would be hard to post, because we did it at someones house. Ill tell you now that they were not "experts"...at least 3 of them. They were taking TEs in the 3-4th rounds, which is why i got LJ Smith.

Culpepper going after Moss, Harrison, and McNabb is a joke. I can see Manning being picked up as the first QB, but Culpepper should be second, at the very least.
Judging by some of the picks made, it was either a bunch of retards, or a lot of homer-ism... because some people drafted horribly.

The guy who took moss is a raider homer...but he took some GOOD radiers. The guy who took priest is a Jets fan...but he had a good draft

Priest is fine at #4, thats probably where he should go.
Taking a wide reciever in the first round is a waste... you should go for a top runningback... if you don't get an early pick, manning or culpepper is acceptable... McNabb is probably the only other QB I think who should go first round, depending on the depth of the league.
Usually someone taking an elite WR, or TE early creates a panic, and everyone else thinks the same way.

I took Mcnabb in one of my drafts because all of my TOP RB's were gone and I knew I would get a Jones or Dom Davis....I will be posting my teams in a few mins

McNabb is first round caliber in fantasy football, Randy Moss isn't. He may be the best fantasy WR, but WR's aren't really that valuable... you can probably get a Keyshawn Johnson, or Plaxico Burress, or something in a late round, and the dropoff in production won't be that big. You want a top WR, but you should try to grab one late second, or early third round at the earliest.

My first back-to-back picks: Culpepper and Holt.
Then I took Tiki and Portis...followed by Randle El and Martin.
Kickers were going in the 9th round...TE's in the 6th..

I took holt 11th because I knew that there were plenty of RBs left..and my gamble paid off and i ended up with 2 good RBs

I personally wouldnt touch Portis, if he proves last year was a fluke then I would but I wouldnt pick him. Tiki needs 1 more solid year before I think hes a top RB to

Tiki needs 1 more solid year before I think hes a top RB to Tiki has five consecutive seasons of over 1400 yards total offense. Regardless of whether you like him or not, he is a second tier back. Granted, the fumbles scare you, and the fact that he only scored two touchdowns two seasons ago is alarming, but the Giants offensive line is improved, and regardless of what the team does, Tiki should be the focal point of the offense. Another 1200 yards on the ground, and 500 recieving yards is not hard to expect.
