What was your strategy going in and how do you think you did?
I always try to de-emphasize the QB position while building a deep and balanced team everywhere else.  With this in mind, I was looking to buy one or two of the RBBCs in the league and was happy to get Chicago’s Jones/Benson and New England’s Dillon/Maroney for $31 each.  I’m also happy with getting Vick/Plummer for $19, but should have spent for a 3^rd QB.  I paid $3 for a number of $1 WRs because those still in the money at that point also needed WRs. 

Who were your best/worst deals?
Two passing offenses I think will take quantum leaps forward this year are the Giants’ and the Steelers’, so getting Plaxico for $16 and Heath Miller for $3 were my best deals.  My worst would have to be Edinger for $1.  I forgot about the Longwell acquisition, so I wasted a spot there. 

Aside from your team, who is the team to beat?
As I said, I’m a big believer in spending little on QBs while fielding a deep and balanced team; so I like Andy Richardson’s (Fantasy Index) and Jim Wheelock’s (Coachbox) teams.  

What was your strategy going in and how do you think you did?
I had intended to spend somewhere between $80 and $100 on two running backs and then wait for the value players with my remaining money. When Manning went to me for $27 it changed my whole draft. I hadn’t expected him to be available at that price. 

Who were your best/worst deals? 
Obviously from the previous question, I think Manning at $27 was a good pick but  I actually like Mark Brunell for $1 as probably the best value pick I made. I paid too much for Steven Jackson but there were very few clear feature backs left at that point in the draft and I needed to get one. I would say Talented Mr Roto, assuming Javon Walker returns to form.

What was your strategy going in and how do you think you did?
I wanted to come out of the draft with three solid starters at RB, a top WR or two with good depth behind them, and top-10 starters everywhere else. Prices got a little out of whack on some of the RBs I was targeting, but I ended up with 3 of our top 15 there and 3 of our top 20 WRs, so I'm relatively pleased with how things worked out.

Who were your best/worst deals?
The best value was Bush, who we'd priced about $10 higher. He may not be a starter, but I have no doubt he'll play a lot and put up better numbers than any of the other backs who went in his price range. Strictly off our numbers I overpaid slightly for Rudi Johnson, but it was the only way to land a top-10 RB in this auction, and I managed to grab Chris Perry later to protect the pick.

Not surprising considering he outbid me on several players I wanted, I like FantasyGuru's team. He might be a little thin at wideout but he looks strong everywhere else. I thought GroganSports did a great job of building a pretty solid team even while spending big on Larry Johnson.

What was your strategy going in and how do you think you did?
An auction style draft affords the opportunity to draft anyone you want, as long as you have the cap money.  It can lead to a big disparity in team strength. Some believe that team depth is most important. I disagree. Good players sitting on your bench don't score any points. That said, I wanted to draft at least one impact player at the QB, RB and WR positions.  In turn, I wanted to land some solid (maybe undervalued) players to complete my lineup.  

Who were your best/worst deals?
Both are probably found at the QB position. I really did not want David Carr for any price, but ended up drafting him for $5 as a back-up. While I did not overpay for him, he's just not a good option. Right after drafting Carr, I was able to land McNair for $2.  Many fear McNair's situation, but he could be a steal when he solidifies a starting job

Aside from your team, who is the team to beat? 
Actually, George Del Prado has a very solid squad even though he picked two kickers who may not to play this year. A simple faux pas that could be fixed via free agency. Did well to get the backfield for New England and Chicago.
