Below is my draft. All and all I like my team. A bit weak on RB's but strong everywhere else. I think pretty good for a 12 team draft.

QB: Jon Kitna, Matt Leinart
RB: Frank Gore, Brandon Jackson, Chris Brown, Jesse Chapman, Ron Dayne, Michael Robinson
WR: Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Mark Clayton, Brandon Jones, Mike Furrey, Chris Henry
K: Adam Vinateri
D: Bears

Yeah that RB situation is pretty questionable with Brandon Jackson unclear of starting position after week 3.(wait and see though) I'm making a gamble he's coming out strong for the spot,but I still have a solid 2nd RB in Maurice Jones Drew.Maybe you can sucker someone in with Mike Furrey for at least a middle ground top 30 RB.

I knew going in I would be weaker in the RB column. I had the 3rd pick once it came back to me I felt I was better off going with the top 2 recievers than a tier 3 RB. The difference in value between the RB's that were available at the end of the second round and what I got a few rounds later wasn't that big of a difference. I am gambling that my top ranked WRs, QB, Def & K will more than make up for the points I might lack from the RBs.

On paper it makes sense but I will be curious to see how it pans out.

Last year I got the short end of the stick with autopick giving me two top end receivers and no decent RB's.So I ended up with Adadi who was just starting out not even getting a solid start yet combined with some dung like Deshawn Foster and Chester Taylor.So suffice to say-- I ended up with no meat for the team and flopped around for like three weeks straight losing games I could easily won with at least one top RB.Also didn't help Steve Smith was out for three weeks and Chad was stalled for about three also.Moral of the story: don't put all your eggs into one basket. So now I pick my first three rounds like this :Top spot rb,top spot WR,Top QB (maybe fourth depends),then proceed to get the best pick for each round after.

1st RB- Solid meat back
1st WR- the receiver that can get-r-done
1st QB 3rd if you want a top QB,4th if you going for gem finders like Matt Hasselback
RB
WR
TE

And fill with whatever you want if you got room,but most times I get a couple gems in rookies just for kicks---- unless you play at NFL.com (Stingy bench limit of 5 for 9 starting roster). Yes that's right only one defense because you can find decent match-ups on the waiver wire. And the TE areas only has like less than a dozen worth anything to hold let alone play. Same goes for the kickers with a waiver wire pick-up on bye week.
