Answer 1

You did good barring some injuries I think you'll be in the playoffs.  After the bye weeks of your main starters I would start trading your bench for another top WR.  Good luck and take some names.

Answer 2

In all honesty, I'd give it a 7/10.

Negatives: I've done a few drafts already an Roethlisberger goes in late round 4 or early 5. You could have had a strong WR here and still picked Ben over Jones. Julius Jones in round 5 was too early IMO as he's sharing carries with Mo Morris and Duckett will be getting goalline carries. Like mentioned before CJ puts up huge numbers on an extremely inconsisten basis.

Positives: Ben Roethlisberger should outplay his 3rd round pick (I know I said you grabbed him early, but imagine Brandon Marshall or Plaxico Burress in 3 and Ben in 5.) With Jake Delhomme back, Steve Smith should once again be an elite WR. Roddy White in round 8 is a steal. Seattle's defense will be in the top 3 defensively this season and Shockey at 111 with a very accurate Brees is also a steal.

Answer 3

I'm surprised that you were able to get Barber with the 15th pick.  He should go several places higher than that in my estimation.  Lynch and Barber make a very good pair of running backs, and if Rudi Johnson bounces back you will be very strong there, especially if you can start three RBs in your league.  If Kenny Watson is still available, you should grab him as insurance, drop Boss or Bradshaw.  Roethlisburger is a solid QB and Campbell has strong upside.  Smith and CJohnson are question marks- if they pan out you will be strong there.  I stay away from CJohnson due to the fact that his points come in very small bursts- you have to start him every week to be sure that he is in the lineup when he goes for 200 yards and 3 tds, but the thing is that he does that 3 times a year and then doesn't do much the rest of the year (he's only scored tds in 8 games in his last 32).  Seattle should be a great fantasy D/ST- sacks, turnovers and tds.  

Overall it looks to me like this team should be a strong contender.  Of course, I've always found that mid-season trades and free agent moves have as much to do with fantasy success as the draft does (Kurt Warner and Mason Crosby were free agent pick ups that helped my team make it to the fantasy championship last year, although I lost the game), so there's still work to be done.  

I give your draft an 8.

Answer 4

OH MY GOD!!!

Answer 5

the truth u did ok. u picked basically everyone one who played good last year only . r. white hasnt been good since he came into the league and last year was prabably his best. i dont see him doing it again. jason campbell has done ok buti think wen they struggle he is gonna lose the starting spot to colt brennan. shockey was injured and is over rated hasnt played the way he did in his first 2 seasons jukes too much. jjones on new team and didnt play all that great witht he cowboys. lynch  probably have a good year he did good in his rookie season. but for everyone one else u got they were either hurt or sucked try trading some to get a more elite player

Answer 6

Lynch i would give a 8/10

barber as well 8/10

Roesthlegburger i think will do good 9/10

Smith 9/10

Jones 7/10

chad johnson 9/10

roddy white 7/10

santana moss 8/10

jeremy shockey 10/10

seattle 7/10

folk 10/10

campbell 8/10

Brashaw 7/10

Boss 8/10

i think you have a good team

but you might need a backup defense for the first week or two to make sure that seattle does good
