Just out of the draft room!

Here's the team I just drafted for an ESPN 10-team league. Standard scoring, non-keeper.

Give me your thoughts.

QB Marc Bulger
RB Willie Parker
RB Rudi Johnson
RB/WR Clinton Portis
WR Laveranues Coles
WR Plaxico Burress
TE Dallas Clark
D/ST Eagles
K Olindo Mare

Chester Taylor, Min RB
Santana Moss, Was WR
Warrick Dunn, Atl RB
Terry Glenn, Dal WR
Donte' Stallworth, NE WR
Alex Smith, SF QB
Jason Campbell, Was QB

like your bench receivers better than your starters (not big on plax, and cotchery might have better numbers than coles this year - heard it here first!!). also dont like taking parker where he is going (took him before rudi, right??....or had the 9th / 10th pick? would have rather seen bush / maroney there.

overall, for a 10 team league, id give it a 7.5

I had the 10/11 turnaround. Willie and Rudi were my first picks.

What do you think the chances of Campbell getting off to a good start are? If I can't package him with someone in a 2-for-1 deal, I'll have to drop him to pick up a kicker Week 4.

ehhhh, hard to say....im obviously optimistic, but i think he will improve as the season progresses. we do play 2 of the first 3 games in the division (1 against you guys - ill be the idiot in the sean taylor jsy on your television monday night!!). our buy week is 4 as well, so the good news is that you could probably drop him after week 3, and pick him back up after 4, since no one will have a use for him that week (and really isn't a top 20 fantasy qb at this point).

Good Point about Jason Campbell... I was looking to pick him up in my league for a buy week replacement week#5, and with his bye week being week#4 he should be a Free Agent at that time...Unless he starts off hot, which is a BIG possibility!


SIVJOSH:

I really like your team, but would try and secure another decent WR, if at all possible...

I actually Like Plax this year, if he is healthy..(Which monitor that closely during next couple weeks)
I think Eli is much better than he is getting credit for, and Tiki only motivated him more with the comments about his leadership skills...
All this points to big tings for Plax, if he is healthy.... At least in my opinion..

Coles is a question mark in my book, but I like S.Moss & D.Stallworth..

Wouldn't sell the house to get one, but if you could for right price...Get another decent WR...

Your QB's will be fine:

Bulger and Smith is all you will need...



All around nice team...Good Luck this year!!!

I would say try to package Campbell w/1, maybe even 2 of your WRs for a real good WR. You have 5, but none are really big time guys. All can have good years, but all could have not so good years too. I would try to get a top 10 receiver if I could. Overall, I think that is the only possible weakness of your team, everything else looks good...but even the WRs might end up good, just hard to tell without a top 10 guy.

Thanks for the insights guys. Keep them coming.

Will Alex Smith be worth anything other than filling in on Bulger's bye week? He has a good matchup against someone that week. I can't remember who right now.
