Split between OC Brown/Dominic Espinosa/Alex Hill (I wanted one of those guys as center and kept passing for another position....then they were all gone)

I have to agree with Lynx. It would take too long to go through all the teams and give my opinion. Sorry guys, but I just have too much stuff to do. Its not like we are ever going to come up with a concensus winner anyway.

Okay fellows I have a change I need to make with my team. With my last pick I drafted Malcolm Jones ATH so I could use him anywhere. and Dropped Anthony Wilkerson because I was going to use Jones at RB but since I have researched it and plan on using him at WR/DB becuase i dont have the right size in the secondary.

I want to get Wilkerson back and Drop S Mike Harris Juco to Fla State to small for my secondary.

I want your vote for a top 10 team!!

I feel really good about my team. I think we have a great combination of size, strength, skill and speed. I choose each member on both sides of the ball based off of their versatility and ability to be a combo player. I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to research every player so most of my information gathered was through Rivals service. I did however check ESPN and Scouts for add’l info when it came to tough decision.

I thought picking early was going to be a blessing but in some cases I had to play a long waiting game watching my draft board get dwindled down. Waiting 40 picks for one of your players to fall through was at times stressful. So I may have jumped on some kids a little bit earlier than I would have liked but I virtually had 2 back to back then a long wait.

My draft strategy had strong points but left me vulnerable in some key positions. Since I was basing it off of Rivals I started with the Top 250 which in the end I was fortunate to get 16 out of the 24 from that list. I wanted to lean heavy on my defense knowing that those would go fast. I also wanted to focus on kids that would get a lot of exposure. Since I live in Texas and love the SEC. I picked most of the kid’s committed to play in those conferences. But every kid is playing for a BCS conference school. I figured the game would consist on points based on performance and exposure so that’s why I went that direction. I chose quite a few athletes so if they went to a school that the depth charts they couldn’t get through, they maybe able to switch to a different position. Also I wanted the ability to play around with different schemes on both sides of the ball. Spread or ProStyle, 3-4 or 4-3.

If I couldn’t find a kid that was ranked high coming out of high school I had a short list of JUCO’s that I respected. Randall Mackey was at the top of my board from day one. When I saw him slip past the 4th I said enough is enough and grabbed him. I also wanted Scroggins or Sims. The only other 2 players I wanted badly was Taylor Bible and Shaun Lewis. He would have been a perfect compliment to Floyd down on the line.
