Re: VeeshanVault AFC Draft Results

I honestly didn't want to take Jacobs that high but since I had taken Peyton first. I HAD to have a RB on that pick. He was the only thing left with a draft value in the top three rounds (according to yahoo). I considered just going the wr route but I rarely see that one win. I only picked 3 QBs for...

VeeshanVault AFC Draft Results

I am not to pleased with my draft results. I'll do ok at QB (Peyton) and WRs (Wayne and Boldin) but my RBs are pretty iffy. If they live up to expectations then it could be a great year. That rarely seems to happen though. Anyway, here are the results. Dillon Panthers 1. (1) LaDainian Tomlinson 2. (...

Winslow is pretty low on my TE list as well. I think I have him at most the 6th best TE. I picked Gates early last year in one of my leagues, third round I believe. He wasn't worth it when I look back at it. I always look for a WR1 before I look at TEs. If there are still top tier WRs available then...
