My logic was Matthews is glass (thank god, as he broke his collarbone 15 minutes after i made that decision!), McFadden is coming back from LisFranc surgery, Trent Richardson had surgery and is a rookie and on the browns, Jamaal is coming off ACL and will split carries, and I dont like MJD. Jimmy Graham ****ed his back up yesterday in practice, too.

So the highest player I had at the time were WRs. Fitz or Jennings. I love Fitz, but I dont trust the QB(s?) or AZ defense to help him. I figure I'll have a lot more opportunity for points with Jennings and the Pack, even if its spread around.

In the second, I had to go Gronk. Graham was injured, and the point advantage I will have over everyone else's TE's is immense, and could help to win tight games.

24 picks later, RB was scarce. Since everyone had loaded up at RB, i figured other position groups would go off the board, so I grabbed AJ Green - remember, we have 3 WR's + flex. I was able to get Turner in the 4th.

Didnt have a ton of options, but I agree, not a stellar team. I feel comfortable that I did well considering how the board fell.

I see. I agree that 10th is a pretty bad spot this year but I feel you should have took more chances drafting in that spot. There's virtually no upside on your team. You almost have to take risks picking late in order to give yourself a chance at a great team and that's why I much prefer auction drafts.

We have different outlooks in FF. I much rather swing for the fences on an elite talent and guy in a great situation but has injury concerns (McFadden, Matthews, Richardson) than play it safe and get a normal season that you would get out of Jennings, especially when you consider the depth at wr this year. Those guys can win leagues for you. Jennings isn't going to do that. I wouldn't go wr early this year except for Calvin but if I were give me Julio ten times out of ten over Jennings. Higher upside.

I probably would have taken McFadden in that spot but if you asked me yesterday morning it might have been Matthews.

McFadden had the same injury that LJ had, and he sucked afterwards. Its the same injury that Ronnie Brown had, and he sucked afterwards.

I do not see McFadden performing well or even finishing the season.

So, you have the #7 pick overall. And you pick seventh each round.

You traded your fourth rounder last year.

Does your mindset change with the first three picks?

What was your original mindset?

I'm pretty skiddish about WRs in round one. If I had to guess Megatron will be there. I know that's probably still a home run though.

Unless a RB like Rice or McCoy falls.

Almost assuredly Rodgers, Foster, Brady, Brees will be gone.

That leaves McCoy, Rice or Megatron there at #7.

The more I think about this the more I think Megatron falls to me at #7 overall.

I think he's going to be my first round pick, unless, McCoy or Rice falls.

He'll be there. I'm doubting the others will based on who is in front of you.

I'd rather it be McCoy or Rice.

Yeah, but based on who is in front of you, I doubt it.

So, you're telling me there are not idiots capable of taking a questionable player before me?

I want out.
