I waited on quarterback. By that time, there were several computer selections. 5 of the 7 picks before I took Aaron Brooks were passers, or my plan would have worked to perfection. That wouldn't happen in a real draft.
I drafted Kitna as backup, since he's throwing for Mike Martz and to Roy Williams. He could be a sleeper this year, but should be an okay backup at the very least.
I got a stud at runner in Alexander. The rest of my runners make me nervous. There wasn't much quality at runner in the 2nd and 3rd round, so I took a couple of difference makers at reciever.
It seems all these drafts, I ended up with Keyshawn Johnson. I'm no huge fan, but he seemed undervalued. Shayne Graham seemed to be undervalued, too.
The Falcons and Colts should let me play matchups on defense. Gonzales is solid at tight end.
ANALYSIS: The Q.B. and 2nd runner would have me nervous. I got plenty of options at runner, but I would have to get lucky to have steady production there. Pretty average looking team. It's got some firepower, but it has holes in it, too.

I think this team looks a lot better if you're in a league where you can start 4 receivers. I imagine you'll get decent production from the QB position, and Kitna is certainly capable of being a sleeper. Brooks will do fine, as he's throwing to Randy Moss. I don't think losing Jerry Porter will hurt (assuming the team gives in to his trade demands) as he was never very good in the first place.
As runners go, Adai and White might pay big dividends later in the season, but you'll probably have to sit them the early part of the year and be patient.
Kicker, Defense, and TE are all solid, although Willie Roaf's retirement may require Gonzalez to hang back and block more, thus cutting into his numbers.
Not a bad team at all, with the potential to be a great team.
