yendiSo I was stuck with the seventh pick in the draft (in a ten-team league). So I didn't get any of the top running backs I wanted. So I gambled, and said "fuck it" to getting a running back in the first two rounds. I took Calvin Johnson and Peyton Manning. It's a gamble, but it does give me a top-three player at both QB and WR.
As to the rest of my starting lineup, I snagged Arian Foster as my RB, with Vincent Jackson (the only returning player from last year's team) as my second WR, Jordan Cameron as my TE (Graham was gone before my first pick, and the lack of Gordon should boost Cameron's numbers), Michael Crabtree for my swing WR/RB/TE spot (although I might swap in someone else), Mason Crosby as kicker, and Carolina on defense.
Bench: Tony Romo, Le'Veon Bell, Rashad Jennings, Trent Richardson, Mike Evans, and Dwayne Bowe. Those last two are longshot gambles, but that's fine with the final bench slots.
I've got a good spread on bye weeks, too, so no worries about subs for now (although it's a given that I'll be finding another TE at some point).
Of course, only half my draft last year stuck around, thanks to injuries, free agents, etc. So no telling what'll happen come the regular season. But FWIW, Yahoo's analysis gives me an A+.
