It was alot of fun guys, and it moved pretty well taking just over a hour.

I can't wait til the season starts now, I'm really liking my team.

Meet the Hog Squad!
QB: Green, Carr
RB: Tomlinson, S. Jackson, Suggs, Chatman, Betts
WR: S. Smith, Stokley, Kennison, Jurevicius
TE: Crumpler, LJ Smith
K: Janikowski
D: NY Jets

Meet "Freakin' Sweet!"

QB: Bulger, Palmer, Dilfer
RB: Ahman Green, Bennett, Blaylock (wouldn't mind upgrading here)
WR: Mason, Fitzgerald, Braylon Edwards, Randle-El
TE: Cooley, Royal, Freddie Jones
K: Kaeding
Def: Jacksonville

The team is ok I guess. I'll need to step it up come $$ league draft time...especially because this year there won't be Hogskin around to make one-sided trades with :biggthump (that's right, I went there)

Well after the disaster that was my $$ league team, I have decided to do the free leauge and get some practice before I step it up in there again. I've traditionally been a bad Fantasy football player, but heres my team.....(The Fun Bunch)

QB: Collins, Ramsey, Rothlesberger
RB: Portis, R. Williams
WR: C Johnson, A Boldin, Santana Moss, Plax Burress, Antonio Brown
TE: T. Heap
K: Kasay , Hall
D: Dallas, Cinci

I tried to draft as many "skill" guys as I could at first so hopefully I could have some trade bait. I think my WR corps is strong, my RB's have alot of potential. None of my QB's are real standouts, but I think Collins could have a huge year.

Hey Matty, did someone pick up Chatman? I know he was waived by the Chargers but I hadn't heard if some team had picked him up

I'm actually not happy with my team, but i feel asleep an hour before the draft, so its my fault. I got decent RBs, gates, and vinateri though... but i also got at least 4 totally wasted roster spaces. And i looked for replacements, but with this many people in the league only trash seems to be left.

DEF [url="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/car"]Carolina[/url]

Here's mine (Fear the Turtle):

QB: T. Brady, Losman
WR: H. Ward, D. Givens, K. Colbert, K. McCardell
RB: J. Lewis, L. Jordan, F. Taylor, E. Shelton, C. Fason
TE: J. Shockey, J. Kleinsasser
K: M. Vanderjagt
DEF: Buffalo

I am pretty happy with it but wish I had better receivers - but the bye week conflicts caused me some problems. As it is, week 7 is gonna be interesting.

Fear the Turtle baby, 'cause the Turtle fears no one!

The one that threw me was OB/GYN Kenobi - I just didn't get it. He drafted 3 back up QB's (as in NFL backups - not NFL starters as Fantasy backups) including Houston's 2nd AND 3rd string QB. I know he got Peyton, but - c'mon - Tony Banks???

Also, SHOCKED to see LT go at the 3rd pick. No way I get that lucky in hte $$ league.

damn, thanks for the heads up I didn't notice he got cut

I was shocked myself, I did a double take when I saw him still sitting there

If anyone has the time/inclination to, could they post the entire draft results for those of us not in the league (cut/paste?) - would make for some interesting reading whilst waiting on the preseason games!
The link to the draft results only works for those in the league which is why I am asking ... thanks,
DT.
