re: DATFL: DRAFT COMPLETE

A bunch of assholes talking him into keeping Cam

Thomas doesnt like black QBs

never has

In hindsight I shoulda kept Vjax but Cams got mad upside.

Besides, I got Matty Ice way late. He's primed for a bounce back IMO. don't know how or why he fell so far.

Cam was the #5 QB in our league last year...what am I missing?

Sure he had some duds, but youre gonna get that from guys not named Peyton, Brees and Rodgers

CE:

No doubt the top team on paper as we enter the regular season. The Big 4 -- Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Alshon Jeffrey and Antonio Brown -- should make him a contender week-in week-out. Then Victor Cruz provides strong Flex play. I also love the Freddy Jackson pick. IMO, he will start most weeks over Bishop Sankey, especially early on. Did a good job to nab Shonn Greene as well. One of the stronger fourth wide receivers in Terrance Williams. I'm not as high on Jordan Reed as other, I honestly think by Week 4, you'll be searching for a replacement, but I'm not Miss Cleo.

Frat:

I'm not completely in love with the team. I feel he was to running back centric in the draft, and consequently missed out on some valuable wide receiver targets -- where I feel his team is weak. He's got three strong running backs, an OK starting receiving core and tight end, then Cordarrelle Patterson and a bunch of rookies. I'm not sure that equals fantasy stardom. But Matt Forte, LeSean McCoy and Andrew Luck will carry this squad to the playoffs with ease.

TTT

Balanced. Solid running back core with a lead back. Then two No. 1 wide receivers for a 12-team league. Kyle Rudolph has slimmed down this offseason, and looked good on his touchdown catch-and-run Friday night; he's as good as any tight end to take a chance on. Then Robert Griffin III and Percy Harvin are two high upside picks for when they were taken, though I don't believe either reaches their ceiling, they'll both be solid for their positions: QB 8-ish and WR 28-ish.

Thomas:

I feel like it's quite simple with this team: The weeks Vincent Jackson plays good, he's going to be in the top-6. The weeks he's not, and ThomasSr receives ~ 3 points from his No.1 WR position, he's going to be on the outside looking in. The backs are perhaps the best 1-2 punch in the league, and I love the depth at receiver. Eric Decker, Andrew Hawkins, Sammy Watkins and Golden Tate. I wouldn't say you're set at tight end, but you're fine.

Barry:

I feel like I'm rating him here because I can't put the team who owns Peyton Manning and Calvin Johnson any lower. But the rest of the team, I don't get. You're going into a 12-team league with Nuke Hopkins as your No. 2 wide out, with no real high upside guys behind him. Then two running backs with injuries in their past, but I do like the depth there. And you made a trade during the draft that I didn't get at the time, and still don't get. But, you know your team better than I do.

Papps:

Coming out of college, there was not a bigger fan than Trent Richardson than me. Strong, elusive with a burst through the second level, and he showed that on multiple occasions his rookie year. Then he gets traded to Indianapolis and it's gone. His team completely depends on Richardson because DeAngelo Williams as a No. 2 won't cut it. The wide receivers, tight ends and quarterback can get him there. It's up to Trent to push him over the top.

MSU:

No first round pick worthy player on the roster will haunt him. Then his two best players are coming off season ending injuries. I think Andre Johnson again does his thing, but didn't he only score in two games last year? Wes Welker and Andre Ellington are good No.2's for their respective positions, but Nick Foles takes a big step back this year -- I just don't think the skills are that good.

Honkus:

It was difficult to decide between him and DCB at this spot, but went with Honk for a couple of factors: 1) Marshawn Lynch scares me right now. 2) Julius Thomas. Both these teams have good backs and a bunch of guys at receiver, but Honk combats that with Julius Thomas at tight end.

DCB:

Too many question marks surrounding the supposed strength of the team. I don't like wide receivers, but I know DCB does like them -- particularly Jeremy Maclin and Emmanuel Sanders. Rueben Randle is about as a roller coaster as they come, so I don't see the advantage of having him as a safety net fourth receiver. I love Zac Stacy, doe, and Tom Brady could end up being the steal of the draft.

I like stat projections over what someone guesses on TD.

Geaux, Papps and DCB's teams are the worst out of the 12.

Based on starter projections, I'm only 50 points behind the 4th highest.

My goal is to split the first 2 weeks at 1-1 and hope JG's suspension is a maximum of 8 games.
