thanks to all who posted in my previous thread in regards to my fist pick
well I didnt get Rodgers as he went first
10 man pool everyone kept 3 players
my team is

Romo keeper from 08
MJD " " "
S.Smith " " "

4th rd Chris Johnson
5th B.Favre (think I choked on this pick but we have to start 2 qb's/wk,
he was best available in my mind)
6th Roy Williams
7th R.Bush (got a good feeling bout him this year)
8th T.Edwards had to back up Favre, big upside w/T.O
9th S.Holmes (we start 3wr's/wk so not a bad wr3)
10th L.Moore (Brees go to guy last year, Colston blew)
11th M.Leinhart (Warner's hip is wonky, huge upside)
12th J.Maclin (couldnt ignore the talent )
13th SD Defense (Cromartie and lights out are back)
14th F.Taylor (ya never know)
15th G.Coffee (every where I read loves this kid)
16th J.Kitna (Romo insurance)
17th Z.Miller
18th K.Brown

gimme your thoughts, feel free to criticize I can take it but can also dish it

Chris Johnson was a good pick there, but you should have been able to get a better QB than Favre that early. He's 40. He may start well, but after week 8 common sense says that'll he'll start to wear down.

Bush was a very solid pick that late. Holmes is turning into the top wr in Pittsburgh. Lance Moore is the go-to guy in New Orleans. Colston has the name, but Moore is the guy Brees is looking for when he needs a critical 1st down.

Roy Williams burned me last season. I won my league, but he didn't aid in it whatsoever.

Good Luck.

hoping bigger things from Roy E
I agree on the Favre issue but my other choices were
J.Campbell, Hasslebeck, Edwards (who I got) Orton, Collins, Flacco
thats about as good as it got and Id rather have Favre over them

Very solid at RB.  Romo and Favre are a great 1 and 2 considering the top 15 QBs were gone and I love the idea of a late pick up of Leinhart.  I plan to do the same.   WR is a little weak imo.  I don't have Smith or Williams too high on my list but I've seen them high on others so hopefully it works out for ya.  Looks like a team that will contend every week as long as the RBs stay healthy.  I think Bush will surprise people too.  If he starts out hot you should trade him for a WR while his value is up.

I think I would have taken Hasselbeck over Favre personally. The Seahawks were really banged up last year. Hasselbeck has looked crisp in the preseason and has now TJ to go along with Burleson and Branch... I think they are going to give the Cards a run for the division.
 
I'll get back with you later

+1 on Hasselbeck..

He has had zero WRs to throw to last couple of years. He gets Housh and Burleson is coming off of injury. Branch is a good WR as well.

Good luck with your team.

good team but HORRENDOUS pick with favre....love the coffee and miller pick. had my draft tonight, took SD d also, I like it alot.
 
even with 2 qb's favre is a stretch....no worries, let's work together and get some good FA pickups.
 
I liked your input last year.....lets work together to have another great year.

Thanks
yes I am still kicking myself on the Favre pick
just want health from him 200 yards and 2 td's per week is that too much to ask??
yes maybe Edwards will shine and or Warner realizes he is 38

well my rationale was that Favre was technically the 13th QB off the board with all 10 teams keeping 1 and Rodgers and Cutler going before him...
I dont think many more of you have Favre rated much lower than that on your boards
arguments can be made for Hass, Campbell, but I think thats it
hindsight I probably should have waited and took what was left

I dont hate the fact that you drafted Favre but in the 5th round you could have got a valuable WR/RB.  Hasselback is my pick out of all the QBs you mentioned but Favre is still all right for a 2nd QB but just feel you went too high.
 
You have 5 QBs on your roster and 2 of them dont even play.  I dont think its necessary to waste roster spots on guys like this when you have Edwards also. 
 
Leinhart in the 11th???????  I havent seen him get drafted EVER and Ive participated in a lot of drafts.  I get it if Warner gets hurt and all the weapons. . . blah blah blah blah.
 
Love the chris johnson pick in the 4th and Lance Moore in the 10th.  Great picks.  You never know with Reggie but Im tired of sitting around on the guy but definitely has an upside.
 
SD and Miller are good late picks also in my opinion.
 
GL this year!!!

I agree with alot of what you are saying however we do start 2 qb's each week and Qb's get the most points in this pool so with the high injury rate of QB's I decided to back myself up with Kitna and possiblytake a shot with Leinhart since Warner is coming off hip surgery, has never stayed healthy for 2 years in a row and has looked wonky this preseason.....
Now with me taking Leinhart as high as I did (11th rd) bear in mind that most of the players that were available
E.Graham, S.Morris, R.Williams, D.Bess are still available
and none of them would make my team better than grabbing a high profile backup not to mention putting myself in a position for trade bait with the guy who has Warner

Thanks for your opinion I do appreciate it people who have sound opinions

Ok I love your keepers...Good choices there.
 
I am personally down on Chris Johnson this year...I have him projected as my 1st round bust of the year. I think teams started to figure out the Ttitans later in the season and will be ready to slow down this ground oriented attack of CJ/L White.
 
Favre should do fine, I just think I would have tried to gnab him later.
 
R williams...Not sure what to expect out him, but with TO gone he is now the #2 target behind Witten IMHO.
 
R Bush... I know he is the guy getting all the money but you have a very crowded backfield with P Thomas/M Bell < Call me crazy but I expect to see him get the bulk of goalline carries. Guy was a horse in the preseason.
 
The rest of your draft looks really good like your late round picks better of Holmes, Moore, San Diego D, Coffee.
 
Not sure about the Leinhart pick either...
 
You wanted an honest opinion... All in all I give it a B.
