Analysis
16.01 |
Mike
Harmon DT Chargers QB: Romo Edwards Favre RB: Slaton Ward TJones Greene McCoy Coffee WR: Moss Housh Driver Holt Crayton TE: Shiancoe PK: DT: Chargers |
I’m
excited to see this unit return healthy in 2009. Shawne Merriman
is back, and Antonio Cromartie will have recovered from the hip
injury that limited him all year. The offense will once again
rank among the league’s most potent units, thereby giving the
line an opportunity to pin its ears back and go to work. |

Matt
Pitzer (via Allan
trade) QB Brady Quinn QB: Rivers Palmer Quinn RB: Jones-Drew Grant Lewis Norwood Morris WR: Wayne RWilliams SMoss Curtis Heyward-Bay TE: Olsen Davis PK: DT: |
|
I was looking for a third starting
quarterback to insure against a serious injury to one of my
first two. The best option was Quinn and he clearly is a far
thing to even start for the Browns. But he brings some upside
and might be useful for a game or two.

Chris
Rito | Mike Nazarek WR Josh Morgan QB: Warner Hasselbeck Collins RB: Westbrook Addai Parker C Taylor WR: AJohnson Colston Boldin Chambers Morgan TE: Daniels Miller PK: DT: Ravens Vikings |
|
This pick was a
"swing for the fences" as the second-year man for the
Niners has all the tools to be an elite |
|
|
16.04 |
John
Georgopoulos TE Bo Scaife QB: Cutler EManning RB: D Williams Portis Lynch R Williams WR: DJackson Breaston Walter Hester Bruce Randle El TE: Gates Scaife PK: Akers DT: Steelers |
|
Scaife is a pleasant find in this
slot. He’ll be a fine bye-week replacement for Gates, and he
can have the occasional strong game. |

Brian
Hulett DT Bears QB: Ryan Bulger RB: Gore McFadden Stewart McClain Faulk WR: Jennings Marshall Henderson Coles Camarillo Jenkins TE: Cooley Heap PK: DT: Bears |
|
All together now: "Da
Bearssss." There now, don't you feel better?
I know I do.
Unsure why the CHI-town defense
has lasted this long, now that other owners are choosing their
defenders.
It's the only squad that's been in the top eight in FanEx scoring in each of the previous two seasons. But OK, I'll take 'em. =================================================================================== |

TC
Cannon (via
Davis trade) WR Earl Bennett QB: Brees Russell RB: Turner Moreno FTaylor Charles BJackson WR: Fitzgerald SMoss Cotchery Moore Nicks Bennett TE: Winslow Shockey PK: DT: Giants |
|
A fairly insignificant trade allowed
this selection to be made. My 16 + 18 for Holm's now
+ 19. I have been |
|
|
16.07 |
Duane
Cahill PK Ryan Longwell QB: Manning Flacco RB: SJackson Jacobs LJohnson Mendenhall WR: Royal Ward Crabtree Burress Henry Engram TE: Gonzalez Keller PK: Gostkowski Longwell DT: |
|
It's
odd that I have both TEs in the fold before the 15th round, so
with only defenses and a sleeper or two to go, I guess I might
as well go with the stud kicker theory.
The Vikings kicker is always a
good fantasy play, dating back to the days of Fuad Reveiz, so
picking up Longwell as Gostkowski's backup is a prudent move.
Kickers aren't always consistent, but by having two of
the top scorers in the fold, I'll have more good weeks than bad coming from that position. =================================================================================== |

|
16.08 |
Craig
Davis PK Robbie Gould QB: Schaub Cassel RB: Forte Barber FJones Jackson Maroney WR: Bowe Edwards Holmes Austin Harvin TE: Carlson Scheffler PK: Gould: DT: Cowboys |
|
Normally don't take a kicker this
early in a 20-round draft, but anyone I choose from here on out
is going to have some risk/reward anyhow. Gould should have more scoring opportunities with Jay Cutler running the show. =================================================================================== |
|
|
16.09 |
Greg
Kellogg DT Jets QB: Brady DelHomme RB: Tomlinson Wells DBrown Fargas Bush WR: Owens VJackson Mason SSmith Burleson Britt TE: Clark PK: DT: Jets |
| Call
me a Rex Ryan believer. He is the man behind the Baltimore
dominance and with the folks he brought over should jump start
the Jets from the defense first. Having a strong running
game and a rookie quarterback should also allow that defense plenty of chances on the field. =================================================================================== |

16.10 |
Ian
Allan
(via Pitzer trade) DT Patriots QB: Roethlisberger Garrard Leftwich RB: Bush White Benson Rice Washington Bradshaw WR: SSmith Welker Gonzalez Ochocinco Muhammad TE: Celek Miller PK: DT: Patriots |
| The
Patriots slipped a notch on defense last year. The pass rush
dropped off from 47 to 31 sacks, and they got lousy play in the secondary. But I think they’ll move back in the right direction. They added a couple of cornerbacks in the offseason, Shawn Springs and Leigh Bodden, who should fit well into their scheme. They’ve still got the great defensive line, with Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork, and linebacker Jerod Mayo is an up-and-comer. Special teams are always well coached. Three years in a row, New England has ranked in the top 4 on kickoff returns, and three years in a row they’ve been top 12 on punt returns. I’ve got them as the No. 9 defense on my board. =================================================================================== |

Tony
Holm (via
Cannon trade) WR Mike Walker QB: McNabb Orton Campbell RB: CJohnson KSmith Thomas McGahee Sproles WR: CJohnson Bryant Berrian Hixon Maclin Walker TE: Witten Boss PK: DT: |
|
This selection pretty much
concludes my FanEx FAD draft. The rest of the way will
be defenses and kickers.
I was going WR here just because of the numbers and the 3 starters per week minimum at the position. I have a set FAD formula, 3 QBs, 5 RBs, 6 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 Ks and 2 Ds. This leaves me with K's and D's and I purposely left them to be my final 4 picks which is what I do in 20 round drafts. In shorter drafts I will swoop in and grab a K or D a little earlier but in a 20 rounder I'll just wait till the end and bulk up on positional guys early that can help the team.
The Jaguars are receiver
strapped and Mike Walker is ahead of Dennis Northcutt for
the job opposite Torry Holt. Walker is a 3rd year guy
and receivers tend to come out of their shell in their 3rd
year. I'm a David Garrard fan and believe that the #2
Jaguars receiver with Torry Holt on the field will see a lot
of action -- and
all signs point to Mike Walker being that guy. Walker has a ton of upside, opportunity, a good QB and little competition, the pieces just all seem to fit. =================================================================================== |

Chris
Dolfi | Tom Walls PK Rob Bironas QB: Rodgers Hill Pennington RB: Peterson RBrown JJones Hightower Graham WR: White Evans Avery Ginn Gage TE: Fasano PK: Bironas DT: PHI |
| This
is a pretty simple write up...Bironas was the last of the elite
kickers on the board. He scored #4 in this league last year, and
we believe he will do about the same this year. The Titans aren't the most exciting offensive team, and play it pretty safe. Bironas will get plenty of opportunities to put 3 points up as the Titans play a lot of low scoring games; and take points when they can get them. =================================================================================== |
