i am disgusted with this team

worst draft i can ever remember. 12 teams, picked 10th, plenty of controversy.

start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST

kevin kolb and carson palmer

frank gore, jamaal charles, jonathan stewart, darren mcfadden and larry johnson

greg jennings, mike wallace, dez bryant, lee evans and steve breaston

kellen winslow and heath miller

robbie gould and jeff reed

don't even remember my defense or care, probably the ****ing rams or something

controversy was this, was a live draft, not online. had been drinking for a couple of hours before it started (like an idiot) but still no excuse.

drafted jonathan stewart, completely meaning to take deangelo williams. about 10 seconds goes by, and i'm like wait no no no, totally meant to take williams

like i expected, they all laughed their asses off and denied me the rights to williams

was pleasantly surprised to see stewart had over 1,000 last year and 10 TDs, but bottom line is taking him in the 2nd round because of an accident just flat out ****ing sucks.

needless to say i was nice and pissed for the next 15 minutes, my team shows this.

wide receivers are beyond weak. hoping i can trade a guy like charles, mcfadden or stewart and get a solid WR in return, only chance i really have

i think i took the texans defense or some shit

last 4 picks were 2 defenses and 2 kickers. i always add/drop week to week for that anyway.

Dont think your bteams that bad at all.Kolb will air it out 40 times a game.Your top 3 rbs are very good.Actually like Stewart more than Deangelo this year and you can get him 2-3 rounds later...3rd wr is a little weak and TE is a little weak but your goin to be weak somewhere in 12 team leagues.Don't think your team is as bad as you think it is....GL

actually wco, think it's not as bad as u think and you'll have options but do think that you have pinpointed your weakspot being receiver...as for defences...add and drop based on opponent is always an option if can't get hold of higher tier.

you're ok, things unfold that give you room for movement and improvement.

If you do this before each kickoff, maybe it won't be as bad as you think LOL

Try and get Knox in a trade..headed for big year

yeah i add and drop defenses based on matchup almost every week.

the way i look at it is i have 3 RBs who ran for over 1,100 yards last year. problem is that i can only start 2 of them each week.

if this league had a flex player to go with 2 WR and 2 RB i might be in a little better shape.

kolb is going to make it or break it for me i think. still can't believe i accidentally drafted the wrong player in a LIVE DRAFT though.

i figured winslow would be a decent pick, he's really the only option tampa has throwing the ball if he stays healthy.

all i want is to somehow get in the playoffs. anything can happen after that.

here's a question, who to start week 1, jamaal charles or jonathan stewart? gonna be a long year guys lol

here's my issue though, and i know it's because williams missed 3 games last year, but stewart had 3 more carries than williams so it really seems like they'll split time this year

thomas jones going to steal carries from charles?

That is why I never drink before or during a draft.

I do believe Thomas Jones steals some carries.

This isn't a bad team. Jones won't take many carries away from Charles. Love Jennings and Wallace will be a solid WR. Huge year for Gore. Not sure why you'd take two kickers, use one pick on a kicker and another on either a handcuff or a sleeper. If Williams gets banged up, you'll be looking good.

oh believe me i'd never take 2 kickers if i didn't have to.

we have to have all roster spots filled at all times during the season which means everyone carries 2 kickers and 2 DSTs. if you don't your team is illegal.

odd i know. i was huge on mike wallace coming into this year but with ben out 6 games his value goes down the shitter. i'm trying my best to be upbeat about it but i know my team isn't worth a damn unless williams and jones get hurt. then i have 3 feature backs and can use one to trade for an elite WR
