Nice pick of Ward - great value there considering the format.

No problem, my guy may still be there anyway. Ward was on my list as well, but oh well.

Oh Oh Bengals you had to take Rivers huh? Tony's going to be furious! ;D

I knew this was coming pretty soon. I only missed it by 29 picks.

So, I guess I can't have ALL the Chargers.

I'll be rooting for you Bengals! I hope you get EXCELLENT production out of that QB spot! ;D

The pieces to another Ravens championship puzzle are coming together. This was going to be a rebuilding year, but it looks like the Raven machine is not stopping for anyone or anything.

Either get on board the Raven train, or get ran OVAH!!!!!!

I like the Ward pick as well, I almost took him at 2.04. I almost snagged Ray Lewis also. I had serious problems making a pick or deciding whether to trade down. There were alot of quality players available.

I am definitely second guessing the Adrian Peterson pick, but I guess I will just live with it now.

Rams the Vince pick was kinda hard ... but I was justing looking at the 6 or 7 games he played in and he put up numbers ... was either him or Eli ... so i'm going to roll with the Madden curse thing this year.

I wouldn't 2nd guess that pick at all. He's got all the talent in the world and he's going to get alot of carries in Minny this year. You did take THAT Adrian Peterson, right???

[jbelaska]

ya peterson will probably be this years joseph addai in that the first few games he doesnt do much but he goes off in the later half of the season

I had a tough time taking Lynch over Petersen. Bottom line was that the Bills almost have to start Lynch because their other options at rb are ...well...not good. I think Petersen will have a much better career. I'm just hoping Lynch has a better season.

Well, Peterson has to have a minimum of 200 fantasy points in this setup to justify where he was selected. There were several options at pick 2.04 that were pretty much a guaranteed 200+ points, like Ray Lewis, London Fletcher, Hines Ward, and a couple other guys that can't be mentioned yet. So, that is why I view Peterson as a risk - the amount of carries he will get is undetermined, he is injury-prone, and the Minnesota QB and WRs are not going to scare anyone from playing 8 in the box to stop the run. But, his ceiling is very high, even for just this year, and in the end that won out.

[Commissioner]

It was extremely tough for me to pass on Fletcher-Baker. The lack of depth at WR was the determining factor for me. Ward (a returnee to my team from last season) better perform this year!
