With the First Selction in FF - Smoakme Selects...

[smoak]

RB LaDanlian Tomlinson.

I figured I would post updates as we are doing the draft Online over the next two days... I almost went with Manning here b/c this league is TD heavy, buty I like LT better so I went with him. I am hoping Portis will be around at the end of the first round.

LaDanlian, huh? :)

I dunno if I would've taken him first, I've had the first pick in three leagues and took Manning every single time and would do it every time, unless rushing yards and TDs have insane point values.

Yeah, it was down to those two to be honest, but I didn't want to miss out on a running back and don't know everyone in the league.

With my second and third picks I took Portis and Kevin Jones! Now I have room to deal one for another position of need once it is all said and done.

Tomlinson
Portis
Jones

What are your thoughts on that rotation?

Very solid backfield. Which WRs were available in the 3rd round?

[smoak]

Very solid backfield. Which WRs were available in the 3rd round?

Moss, Owens, and Holt were off the board. I figured a good WR/QB tandem will be available at my next pick.

Manning, Culpepper, and McNabb were all also off the board.

Julius Jones was there, but I can't root for a Cowboy. Never. I'd rather lose.

[skins74]

I would have picked Manning but you can't go wrong with either. I went the other direction for the first time I picked a quarterback (Daunte) at #7, all of the top tier RBs were gone as well as Manning so I took at shot, we will see what happens.

[smoak]

I wish I had taken Manning now given that I got two good RBs but que sera sera...

I have two picks coming up and the QBs on the board are:

16 Chad Pennington QB NYJ 8 14 23 191 11.90 225
15 Carson Palmer QB CIN 10 12 18 196 12.30 248
14 Jake Delhomme QB CAR 7 8 6 301 18.80 259
13 Michael Vick QB ATL 8 7 13 235 14.70 263
12 Drew Brees QB SD 10 13 8 294 18.40 269
11 Jake Plummer QB DEN 9 16 6 301 18.80 279
10 Matt Hasselbeck QB SEA 8 6 12 249 15.60 282
9 Aaron Brooks QB NO 10 15 9 278 17.40 288
8 Kerry Collins QB OAK 5 5 15 223 13.90 293
7 Tom Brady QB NE 7 11 10 275 17.20 297
6 Marc Bulger QB STL 9

Bulger or Kerry Collins would be best followed by Delhomme, Palmer, Brady and Hasselbeck. Don't take Vick! He is no better than a backup in fantasy football.

[Santheb]

I'd pick Kerry Collins to be honest with you.

[smoak]

I took Bulger and wanted Collins, but took Vick. I'm hoping to get decent WRs and Shockey along with Cooley. We'll see.

Its fun to do a live online draft...

I know I choked on the Vick pick b/c he plays against so many good defenses, but I figured what the heck. It is a freebie league and now I can boast about having Ron Mexico on the bech...

[smoak]

My thought process is that I take the best WR/TE next the get a defense (or two) and fill in the backups. Guys like Cooley and Moss will probably be available in the last rounds b/c Ramsey is so questionable.

[smoak]

I'm about 6 picks away and I need at least one WR. Any advice (some guys will probably be off the board then but...) I'm thinking Bennett and Porter.

20 Clinton Portis

21 Kevin Jones
40 Marc Bulger

41 Michael Vick
60 Drew Bennett

61 Larry Fitzgerald

Why did you take your backup QB so soon?

That looks good if you have a flex position so you can start all 3 RBs.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Did someone take Burleson? I think he is gonna be huge this season.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Don't forget to grab a good D... 30 points a game with a good one

[smoak]

Did someone take Burleson? I think he is gonna be huge this season.

Yeah, I was targeting him, but he went two picks or so before me.

[smoak]

I don't, but I did it thinking there were some teams that hadn't even taken a HB yet so it is trade bait.

[smoak]

Why did you take your backup QB so soon?

Lesson learned. I thought QBs would go fast. They didn't at all.

[smoak]

LMAO! The last WR pick might come down to Coles vs Moss.

Honestly, who would you take? If Moulds and/or Lee Evans are there I might do that, but I think it might be a Moss/Coles decision.

You get no help w/that decision. What do you think?

Probably be between Coles and Evans. I like Lee Evans picked him up in the 8th round in my draft.

[smoak]

I took Moulds and Moss.

No. I took Moulds late.

[smoak]

We are wrapping up today. I added the Skins D and Bubba Franks. My next pick will probably be Willie Parker for Pittsburgh and then the best available defense. I am going to try and trade for Cooley, but other than that I want to leave the Skins alone (bad karma).
