After
the Pennington selection, we did the math and realized we still
had a couple wild card spots left. We Tight
end is a major need at this point, but everyone left (with the
exception of Keller of the Jets) is a Boom or Bust guy anyway.
In this format we can take a couple of those guys and hope for
the best (not something We
liked both Graham and Michael Bush. We feel they both have done
enough to get some playing time for their clubs, and with an
injury; either player could be a major steal at this point.
Graham won out simply |

Pitzer WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (rookie) QB: Rivers Palmer RB: Jones-Drew Grant Lewis Norwood WR: Wayne RWilliams SMoss Curtis Heyward-Bay TE: Olsen PK: DT: |
|
OK, I'll be the
sucker for Heyward-Bey. There is a chance this could work out,
right? All he needs is a good quarterback and, apparently, some
skills. I'll take a chance with a 13th-round pick and my fifth
wide receiver that just maybe, this one time, the Raiders know
what they're doing. A long shot, I know. |

Greg
Kellogg QB Jake Delhomme QB: Brady DelHomme RB: Tomlinson Wells DBrown WR: Owens VJackson Mason SSmith Burleson Britt TE: Clark PK: DT:: |
| I
missed out on Kyle Orton but still managed to nab a backup
quarterback that has no real competition for his starting job.
Plus, Delhomme has Steve Smith to throw to so numbers similar or
better than last season's are expected. With Tom Brady as
my first QB, I only need an occasional starter and it doesn't
hurt that Delhomme plays the Cardinals in Brady's bye week. =================================================================================== |

Duane
Cahill WR Bobby Engram QB: Manning Flacco RB: SJackson Jacobs LJohnson Mendenhall WR: Royal Ward Crabtree Burress Henry Engram TE: Gonzalez PK: DT: |
|
Once upon a time, in a land called
Kansas City, there lived a strapping young lad named Tony
Gonzalez. Young Tony survived a slew of awful
quarterbacks and spent many years as the finest pass-catching
tight
end in all the land. But one day the evil Pioli banished Tony to the land of the Falcon, and the new young quarterback had no one to take his place.
Fast forward to today, when Dwayne
Bowe has established himself as a legitimate threat at
receiver. However, the Chiefs no longer have Gonzalez,
and I fully expect that the veteran Engram will step in as the
#2 receiver in Kansas City. While this is the third receiver on my roster whose bye is scheduled for week 8 (along with two of my running backs), I thought that Engram was both a "safe" pick, and one with upside depending on the continued development of Matt Cassel.
Upside with relatively little
downside is the perfect recipe for your lucky 13th round pick.

Tony
Holm WR Jeremy Maclin (rookie) QB: McNabb Orton Campbell RB: CJohnson KSmith Thomas McGahee Sproles WR: CJohnson Bryant Berrian Hixon Maclin TE: Witten PK: DT:: |
|
With no pick in the 14th round due to an earlier trade, I really
had to go WR here to fill in the group as I'm not sure what will
be left on the bone when we finally get to the 15th. I
debated a couple of guys here including Michael Jenkins who went
after my selection but always ended up steering back to Maclin.
Jeremy Maclin is a rookie, I despise rookies in fantasy, but the Eagles did draft themselves a player who can make things happen. Maclin is as explosive as they come, a Reggie Bush type player that while is listed as a WR could play several positions and likely will. I'm hoping for some big days out of Maclin but expect some very small days too. If he cracks my starting lineup once and a while, he and I will get along just fine. =================================================================================== |

Brian
Hulett WR Michael Jenkins QB: Ryan Bulger RB: Gore McFadden Stewart McClain WR: Jennings Marshall Henderson Coles Camarillo Jenkins TE: Cooley PK: DT: |
|
Yeah,
I like getting the occasional hookup, although Ryan-to-Jenkins
isn't the ideal one. (Brady-to-Moss in '07 would've made
almost any team unbeatable.) But for purposes of depth,
having a solid receiver like Jenkins will do just fine.
God forbid anything happen to Roddy White, but if the
unthinkable occurs that would leave Jenkins the #1 wideout on
that team, so there is an upside to this pick, however
distasteful. He had 50 catches, 777 yds, and 3 TDs in
Ryan's rookie season, and with defenses zeroing in on White
& Michael Turner it would be surprising if Jenkins's numbers went down this year. =================================================================================== |

John
Georgopoulos WR Isaac Bruce QB: Cutler EManning RB: D Williams Portis Lynch R Williams WR: DJackson Breaston Walter Hester Bruce TE: Gates PK: DT: PIT |
|
I have to try and get some sort of production out of the WR
corps. Had been hoping that one of the rookie WRs would have fallen here (Nicks, Britt, Harvin or Maclin) or at least Chris Henry, but seems like everyone else had the same idea. So I’ll go with the veteran Bruce and hope he has the occasional 6-catch game. At least he’s a starter… =================================================================================== |

Chris
Rito | Mike Nazarek TE Ravens QB: Warner Hasselbeck RB: Westbrook Addai Parker CTaylor WR: AJohnson Colston Boldin Chambers TE: Daniels Miller PK: DT: BAL |
|
It is time to start considering a top-flight defense, and after
Pittsburgh there is a group of 4-5 worthy of consideration; in
fact, we would have taken the Steelers with our last set of
picks if John G had not snagged them right in front of us! The
Ravens have consistently been atop the rankings for years,
although there is concern about some of the losses the defense
have suffered most notably DC Rex Ryan. But there are still
three great reasons to believe that this team will continue to
be a high-end fantasy performer with consistent scoring and
explosive potential: Ed Reed, Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs. A
ridiculously easy strength of schedule for 2009 also favors this
brutal defense and gives them the slight edge over some other
options we considered here.

Matt
Pitzer (via Allan
trade) WR Deion Branch QB: Rivers Palmer RB: Jones-Drew Grant Lewis Norwood WR: Wayne RWilliams SMoss Curtis Heyward-Bay Branch TE: Olsen PK: DT: |
|
I almost took Branch with my last pick and because he still is
sitting here, I'll take him now. I know the arrival of T.J.
Houshmandzadeh puts Branch in a tight spot, but Branch closed
strong last season and has a good chance of grabbing the other
starting slot. I don't know that the Seahawks will throw as much
as they did in past seasons under Mike Holmgren but again, I think this pick has reasonable upside for this late. =================================================================================== |

Mike
Harmon TE Visanthe Shiancoe QB: Romo Edwards RB: Slaton Ward TJones Greene McCoy WR: Moss Housh Driver Holt Crayton TE: Shiancoe PK: DT: |
|
Shiancoe is a red zone monster, having hauled in seven
touchdowns for Minnesota last year. He caught multiple passes in
11 different games and knows how to eat space across the middle.
