jeez! did anyone else bother picking? nice team...

I have to say you could have done better with the running backs

That's a pretty good squad there. I like the Mendenhall pickup. Having him and Parker will be a nice tandem when Pitt plays weaker D's.

In an 8-man league, every team is godlike

Yes. I could have.

Willie Parker = a yard machine doesn't score a lot of TD's. Word on the street is that PITT will have to win in shootouts, so that was my logic.

Also, Chester Taylor WILL start at least 3 games this year.



and Yes.

You have a big problem at RB even though you covered yourself by getting both PIT RB's. Edge is old and is not even a low end #2 RB and you can't start Taylor unless Peterson gets injured. What i would've done was keep Wayne, Johnson, Evans, and Hardy and not select Bowe (im guessing you took Bowe somewhere in the 6th or 7th Rd) and could've gotten a #2 RB there instead, and another RB instead of the Moss pick. You should have ended up with 6 backs because that was the weakest position on your team, plus you already had three really good WR's you can start each and every week so you didn't need to have a 5th and 6th WR on your team, other than that you did great with your other picks. If i were you i would trade Bowe and Moss.

I definitely think this is a below-average 8teamer. Those leagues are about accumulating studs, and Brady & Wayne are the only two you got. Where are the 3rd/4th round picks? I don't see them.

I had an 8team draft the other night where I got Romo/Palmer, Sjax/LJ/Turner, Andre/Calvin Johnson/Holmes, Clark/Cooley - and I don't think I have the best team.

Your RBs are really below par for an 8 team league. Everywhere else is stellar, so if you can swing a trade with a team that has a lot of RBs (package a WR and TE), you'll be good.
