Started: RB, RB, WR, WR, WR

Starters: McNabb, Tomlinson, Benson, J Lewis, Fitzgerald, Houshmandzadeh, Burress, Witten, J Brown, MIA

This plan works out well in a ten team league drafting first. Started with Tomlinson and then reached Cedric Benson at the 2.10. That still left Fitzgerald available for the third pick and then continued with the WR taking Houshmandzadeh and Burress. The flex position wasn't filled with a RB, but Tomlinson already counts like a RB and half by himself.

Took Jamal Lewis as a 3rd RB but later got Julius Jones who could be just as good potentially. McNabb in the 7th round is a ridiculously good value if he can stay healthy and Vick is another question mark currently who could really pull his weight. Only average picks at TE, PK and DEF but they score less anyway. This plan created a good team (which was already true after the first pick) but the turning point here is which would be better with that 5th and 6th pick? Burress and Jamal Lewis or Marshawn Lynch and Darrell Jackson/Calvin Johnson? Burress should be great but Lewis does not catch the ball. Lynch should but then a risk comes with either Jackson or Johnson. Love the QB duo since only one has to play and both are unlikely to be out.

Plan Grade: A-

Started: RB, WR, RB, QB RB

Starters: Palmer, L Johnson, T Jones, M Lynch, Harrison, S Moss, D Jarrett, Winslow, Rackers, BAL

Nice work on this team going for playmakers and yet balancing that with positional needs. Started with Larry Johnson but then landed Harrison for a top WR. Thomas Jones should fill in well at RB and could have been James, Jacobs or Jones-Drew. Snapped up Palmer with the 4.09 which was probably earlier than needed since the next QB went at the 5.08 but if he feels strongly about Palmer, then it makes sense.

Great set of tight ends in Winslow and McMichael but S Moss at the 6.09 in inconsistent and likely will have less catches in this reception point league. Dwayne Jarrett in KC as WR3 is a very optimistic swing for the fences considering the smaller league size.

Ended up very solid at QB, TE, PK and DEF and likely okay at RB though only has four and could be stronger. Wideouts are a weakness here since after Harrison he waited until the 6th round for WR2 and all the best WRs with reception points were already gone. Solid team but will really need for all positions to really carry their weight and for Jarrett to exceed expectations.

Plan Grade: B

Started: RB, RB, WR, WR, WR

Starters: Hasselbeck, S Jackson, C Portis, M Barber, Holt, Driver, Evans, Heap, Akers, NE

A standard approach with Steve Jackson starting out and then joined immediately by RB2 of Clinton Portis (could have been Benson, T Jones, Jones-Drew, etc. depending on preference). Then triple dipped on Holt, Driver and Evans for a very nice trio of starting receivers. Grabbed RB3 at the 9.03 with Barber.

Evans is a solid choice but could have been an RB like D Williams or McAllister with the WR at 6.08 instead which could have only been S Moss or D Jackson so probably took the correct chance on that one. If Barber can step up into more yardage and maintain his role at the goal line, then this was definitely the right choice to make.

Heap, Akers and the NE defense are fine and likely no advantage or disadvantage here. Waited until the 8.08 to take Hasselbeck but going QB then TE with the 7/8 would have been Kitna and then a lesser tight end. In this scoring, Kitna seems likely to score more than Hasselbeck by a larger margin gained by taking Heap over L.J. Smith or Ben Watson. The starting QB is below average in this league but the WRs could be very good. If Hasselbeck exceeds expectations and Barber takes over in DAL, then this team can compete.

Plan Grade: B

Started: RB, RB, WR, RB, WR

Starters: Bulger, Gore, R Brown, C Williams, Owens, Coles, D Jackson, Cooley, Kaeding, PHI

This plan started very well. Opted for Gore and then Ronnie Brown who was an incredible value compared to most drafts this summer. After still reaching Owens for WR1, opted for Carnell Williams as RB3 at the 4.07. This draft slot ended up to just miss higher upside backs at the 4th pick but as a flex player, Williams may be okay if he somehow stops playing as he has for the last 29 games.

Bulger at the 6.07 was another great value pick. Ended up with Cooley who has upside with Jason Campbell and later PK and DEF as always are good enough. Strong at QB and first two RBs plus Owens at WR. Coles a decent WR2 here and Jackson could be a fine WR3. Depth seemed to have lesser upside than maybe would have looked better but could be solid enough to hold down the fort while free agents became available. Have to love Gore, Brown, Owens and Bulger but the rest make take some tending.

Plan Grade: B+

Started: RB, WR, RB, WR, RB

Starters: Favre, Westbrook, M Jones-Drew, D. Williams, Wayne, Boldin, Cotchery, Shockey, Crosby, GB

Took the reception points to heart when he made Westbrook the 5th player drafted and then found Wayne at the 2.06. Wayne could have been Harrison, Holt or Fitzgerald depending on personal preference. Jones-Drew and then Boldin rounded out the first four picks.

Did not like waiting until the 10th round to get Brett Favre as the starting QB - high scoring position and may not end up with a top ten QB seems a missed opportunity - and Roethlisberger is even less likely to be above average in a ten team league.

The oddity in this draft was that the QBs look weak and there could be plenty of risks with many of the picks. Unless Westbrook repeats his career marks from 2006 and Wayne finally takes a step over Harrison this year, it looks like a slow start here. But you have to love the upside in almost all the depth picks. Jones-Drew, Norwood and DeAngelo Williams could all become productive starters. Mark Clayton is a tremendous #4 WR. Shockey is always a great TE so long as he remains healthy. This plan worked well though I would have personally opted for other names with those first couple of picks and waiting on a QB that late leaves a hole in a ten team league. This team could end up really great or really bad - there's plenty of risk and reward to happen.

Plan Grade: B+

Started: RB, RB, WR, WR, RB

Starters: Brady, Addai, McGahee, A Green, R Williams, R Moss, C Johnson, L.J. SMith, Wilkins, DAL

Standard start with Addai and then McGahee (could have been R Brown or Benson). Then widely scooped two WR to get R Williams and R Moss. Those could both be surprises this year and were great value picks where they happened.

Waiting until the 5.06 for RB3 left only Ahman Green (could have been McAllister or Norwood) but finding Brady with the 6.05 was likely a steal. In this scoring system, may end up with a top ten player overall with the 6.05 pick. Using the 7.06 for Calvin Johnson was a risk but could pay off handsomely since he has as much upside as any rookie WR for many years. Of course that means the fortunes of this team really rely on the passing success with Detroit, but whatever is there belongs to this team.

Waited on TE and still got L.J. Smith which was fortunate and could be a nice value pick. Also grabbed Brandon Jackson for upside in RB depth. Hackett and Drew Carter should be fine fall backs in case Calvin Johnson does not meet his hype. Though 31-year old Ahman Green coming off an injury year was less attractive as a RB3 than some of the other upside picks available. have to like what happened with this plan. This draft spot allowed him to time the picks just right to get solid players in the first 4 picks and then make a steal in the 6th with Brady. This plan worked well so long as an eye is kept open for falling players like Brady.

Plan Grade: A-

Started: RB, WR, RB, RB, WR

Starters: Kitna, Alexander, James, A Peterson, S Smith, C Chambers, R Brown, Gonzalez, Gould, JAX

This plan worked out closely to what happened with team #5. Alexander was followed by Steve Smith for a stud wideout. That left James at the 3.07 and then a swing for the fence with RB3 of Adrian Peterson. Waiting on WR2 left only Chambers who could have a better year with Green there (could have been Edwards or Ward).

Took a difference maker at TE with Gonzalez at the 6.04 and then reached Jon Kitna at the 7.07 pick for a very nice value here with an above average QB. Waited until the last rounds for JAX and Gould but should be okay with PK and DEF.

Nice mix of old and new with Dunn and Tony Hunt, Muhammad and Santonio Holmes. Likely average or better at QB, TE and maybe WR and RBs could be powerful if - big if - Peterson can replicate collegiate success as a rookie in the NFL. Standard plan at the 7th pick with some good values. Team likely hinges of Peterson and Chambers.
