All my top guys at every position(excpet defense) was already taken and i kinda pannicked and totally threw away my plan of going rb with my first 2 picks.
In my own defense, its a team with 2 owners. my co-worker and i went in together. I had to comprimise on quite a few picks. My next draft will be much better. Please give me another chance????.....=sniff,sniff=....please?

I've got a few suggestions if you're interested, by no means is this the Bible but it's one experienced player's opinion:
1) It usually doesn't pay to take a QB early, unless his name is Peyton Manning. The difference from the #2 QB (Brady) to the #8-10 QB (Delhomme, Warner) isn't that great. You can hold off on a QB till like the 6th or 7th round and still get a pretty dependable one. That allows you to focus on RBs and WRs early.
2) Same concept applies to defenses. Chicago seems to be the best. But I wouldn't take a D too early because the difference from the #2 D isn't very big from the #12. Waiting on a D till round 8 again allows you to build valuable depth at RB and WR.
3) If you can land two stud RBs in the first two rounds, that's pretty huge. If it comes around to your 2nd rounder and you don't see an RB studly enough, there should be a top-flight WR available (Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, Torry Holt, TO, Marvin Harrison, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin).
4) Here's a good link for overall player rankings. By no means do you have to stick to it, but if you find yourself picking a player 12-24 spots before this thing says you should, it's likely that you're making a mistake.
