Just got done drafting...Grade my team

[Ladainiac21]

I had the 6th pick in the draft out of 12 teams.
In my league you start...
1 QB
2 RB
3 WR
1 TE
1 K
1 DST

My lineup for Week 1
QB: Phillip Rivers
RB: Frank Gore
RB: Ronnie Brown
WR: Reggie Wayne
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Donte Stallworth
TE: Heath Miller
K: Olindo Mare
DST: Cowboys

Bench
QB: Chad Pennington
RB: Adrian Peterson
WR: Jerry Porter
WR: D.J. Hackett
TE: Chris Cooley

Im possibly gonna try to trade either Miller or Cooley for a more reliable backup RB other than A.Peterson.I think Im stacked at WR and TE.P.Rivers can only improve on 22 TD's with only 9 INT's.Gore should be a beast this year and R.Brown should have a breakout season in his third year.O.Mare will probably be one of the best fantasy kickers...he now kicks in a dome,and kicks for the top offenses in the league.

1) can you show the order in which you picked your players?
2) why did you draft so soon?

you got a good team and I really like the DJ Hackett pick at the end but....

Your RBs scare me as your reached on Ronnie Brown (I wouldn't rely or count on him having a big year) and if Gore's robo knees don't holdup you'll be in trouble. Gore was good pick at #6 but I would've gotten better depth because as high an upside AD has he's still a rookie and will likely split carries this year. Stallworth will wont do much and will frustrate you with inconsistency but that won't matter because you got AJ and RW at good value and Hackett will be a great 3rd WR for you. Cooley could be a top 5 TE this year and Rivers will be a strong starter.


Best pick: DJ Hackett
Worst pick: Stallworth

What you could use: Need more depth at RB I would look at trading Stallworth or packaging him with AD for a more reliable RB.

that team will compete, and u will probably be in the top 5 of ur league. But i agree that stallworth won't put up those big numbers like he did in PHI because of the spread offense in NE

Picks I like: Gore #1 is a good pick, he will have a huge year, R. Wayne at #3=solid, P. Rivers at #5=steal, Cowboys defense=great pick, DJ. Hackett=Quality sleeper pick here, maybe the best pick u made.

Picks I dont Like: R. Brown at #2=Reach and bust, IMO....A. Johnson, rnd #4=1st year starting QB throwing to him with a weak O-line...I think you could have done better here....D. Stallworth, round 6=Too many weapons in the NE offense for him to contribute......A. Peterson, round #8=Taylor will get most of the carries, he will be a medicore rookie, nothing more......J. Porter, Round #10= Who will throw to this guy? Russell, McCown?, I think u could have drafted a more reliable WR with this one. Not to mention that horrible O-Line.

Overall: Decent draft, I would have tried to get a stud QB (Palmer/Brees) in the second round instead of reaching for R. Brown....Good luck!

I like the Porter pick. This guy used to be Oakland's leading WR. He just never got playing time last year cause Art shell didnt like him. I think hes a sleeper this year with the chance to become a very good #2 WR. As long as Gore stays healthy, he will produce. Hackett was also a good pick. Hes got great potenial. Andre faded down the strecth last year, mostly because Carr loved to throw to the RB's. Rivers in round 5 was good. And yea, you reached on Brown. I'm sure a guy like Thomas Jones or Cedric Benson was still there when you picked.

You got a good team. Good job.
