I figure most of us are drafted and or about to draft, so I started this.
I have a couple question marks for week #1:
Drew Breese* vs Dallas OR Kerry Collins vs. New England
Charles Rogers* vs Green Bay OR David Givens vs. Oakland
Marshall Faulk vs San Fran OR Michael Pittman* vs. Minnesota
I *'ed my picks, but wanted your opinions.

I agree with all your choices except I would start Faulk vs. SF. With Cadillac, Pittman's carries will be very limited; plus, Tampa Bay is likely to be throwing a lot to keep up with Minnesota. Faulk will split carries as well, but SF won't score much, so St. Louis can run the ball a lot.

I agree with you here.

I'd definitely go Rogers (got to play him while he's healthy and Givens is pretty mediocre), go with Faulk just because Pittman won't get many touches, and I'd lean towards Collins mainly because Oakland will throw plenty and New England's probably the most vulnerable early in the year (Indi played them pretty well last year in the opener and New England was very beatable at the beginning of 2003). Plus, I'm not sold on Drew Brees. Not to say Brees was a fluke, but Schottenheimer is not a passing coach and I don't see Brees being a must start.

Here is what i'm working with:
My Team
QB: D. Brees (SD - QB)
WR: M. Harrison (Ind - WR)
WR: N. Burleson (Min - WR)
WR: C. Rogers (Det - WR)
RB: P. Holmes (KC - RB)
RB: T. Barber (NYG - RB)
TE: A. Crumpler (Atl - TE)
W/R: M. Pittman (TB - RB)
K: J. Reed (Pit - K) (Yahoo Auto-Pick....not my choice.)
DEF: Philadelphia (Phi - DEF)
BN: T. Bell (Den - RB) (Yahoo Auto-Pick....not my choice)
BN: K. Collins (Oak - QB)
BN: K. McCardell (SD - WR)
BN: M. Faulk (StL - RB)
BN: D. Givens (NE - WR)
BN: D. Graham (NE - TE)
BN: D. Stallworth (NO - WR)
BN: S. Janikowski (Oak - K)
I think Collins will rack up a ton of points.....or suck. I think Breese will have another great year. I grabbed Faulk in the 11th round as insurance. I think he'll put up some decent numbers (better than ppl are expecting), but I don't want to have to rely on him week in and week out.
WR are definately my weakness. I'm hoping Tiki keeps producing and the NYG find better/more consistant offense this year.

Hm. My team could be pretty good or pretty bad:
QB: Donovan McNabb
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Donald Driver
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
RB: Domanick Davis
RB: Willis McGahee
W/R: either LaMont Jordan or Rod Smith. Haven't decided yet.
TE: either LJ Smith or Randy McMichael, haven't decided yet.
K: Josh Brown
DEF: Carolina
QB: Donovan McNabb
WR: Andre Johnson
WR: Donald Driver
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
RB: Domanick Davis
RB: Willis McGahee
W/R: either LaMont Jordan or Rod Smith. Haven't decided yet.
TE: either LJ Smith or Randy McMichael, haven't decided yet.
K: Josh Brown
DEF: Carolina
I would definitely go with LaMont Jordan. He's ready for a breakout year. Good runner and pass catcher. He'll give you points.

I'd say your RBs and WRs look weak. No clear #1 RB or WR in that group.

My team looks ok.
QB C. Palmer
WR J. Walker
WR L. Coles
WR Roy Williams
RB J. Lewis
RB D. McAllister
TE T. Gonzalez
K. Vinatieri
DEF Tampa Bay
BN C. Williams
BN T. Brady
BN C. Benson
BN B. Leftwich
BN Ma. Clayton
BN K Barlow.
Biggest question is who to start at QB.
Palmer vs Cleveland (my pick so far)
Brady vs. Oakland
Leftwich vs. Seattle, (he is stuck on the bench)
Still need to trade a QB for a WR

oakland's d is horrible. brady's arm is banged up. palmer is pretty inconsistent. don't know who i'd pick, but i'd probably go with brady in the first game of the season.
I think I did ok for a twelve team, 16 man roster.
Green-QB
Arrington-RB
Holmes-RB
Moss-WR
Smith S.-WR
Clayton-WR/RB
McMichael- TE
Cowboys-DST
Willkins- K
Bench
Brooks- QB
Faulk K.-RB
Moore M.-RB
Benett D.-WR
Evens L.- WR
Anderson M.-RB
Bengals- DST

This is the first years I have been a part of a live draft. I think I took too many gambles. What do you guys think?
QB D. Culpepper
WR M. Harrison
WR J. Porter
WR D. Stallworth
RB D. Foster
RB L. Johnson
TE D. Graham
WR P. Warrick
RB T. Bell
QB B. Roethlisberger
RB M. Faulk
QB D. Bledsoe
K S. Janikowski
DEF Cincinnati
DEF Tennessee
12 teams in the league. I hope my team doesn't suck too bad this year.

Need a true starting RB and you could do damage.
Pick up a better D to.
QBs and WR rock though,plus the 4th best kicker.

Marshall Faulk (2nd behind Jackson) or Reggie Williams (Jax starting WR) for my flex pick?
