Ok...maybe I am not understanding what you are saying here. Have you already run a mock draft somewhere and these are the players that you think will be available at each of your picks? OR is this who you are targeting overall? Take RB for instance....
Cedric Benson CHI* Week4
Corey Dillon NE Week7
(Julius Jones) DAL Week9

Are these the three best players that you think are out there? And, why in the world you pick Benson over either one of those others? If anything, Benson shuold be the one in parentheses. If you had Corey Dillon and Julius Jones as your starting RB's you would be rocking.

And, you are also worrying me by having TE Alex Smith listed above Gonzalez. There are AT LEAST 20 TEs better than Smith....I wouldnt pick Smith unless I was the biggest Buc homer of all time, and even then I would think twice.

Mojo is right. For your first pick, 1.03, you are going to want to target LT or Alexander or E. James. Personally, I avoid Holmes like the plague (but, thats just me).

hopefully the people you are drafting with watched the ESPN Fantasy Football Draft on Thursday.

At QB: Culpepper, you will have to draft him with your first pick. Why not take Manning instead?

At RB: You could possibly get Julius Jones with your second pick. And maybe Dillon with your third, but I really doubt either will fall past the first 20.
(But who knows? Like I said, maybe they all watched that fantasy draft)

At WR: Same scenario as RB. Holt should be gone in the second, and Walker should be gone in the third. So with your 2nd and 3rd picks you could go that way and be weak at RB. Since you like Benson, you can get him in the 6th round.

At TE: These are players you can get. You're going to have to take Gonzo in the fourth and Witten in the fifth.

Don't target a K. Just take the best indoor kicker on the board with your last pick. On his bye week drop him and pick up another.

At D: Pats are going to cost you a fifth or six round pick. The Seahawks you can probably get next to last.

After all that, I don't suggest you draft this way. Draft two solid RB's first. Draft two solid WR's next. You could very well be sitting there with Priest Holmes and Ahman Green. And then you can grab Torry Holt, and hold your breath for Walker to make it back to you. And then you can grab Marc Bulger with your fifth pick.

Then you can start stocking the bench with solid RB's and WR's. Pick up Alex Smith (if you must) with one of your last picks along with the Seahawks and whoever at K.

just some change i found in my pocket this morning.

Thanks for the input. Gives me alot to think about.

This is only my 2nd season in FFB, my first season was an auto draft.

As to the reason I had them chosen as my picks, a few of the ones you guys mentioned will be kept from the previous season my a few of the guys in this league i'm in now. LT and Alexander I know won't be available, either will Manning or Holmes.

And the rookies, Benson seems to be a really solid player. And he's been mentioned as a sleeper. I saw him play last week and he did a pretty good job. 2nd string, but think he might get up on the board a bit.

Keep it coming if anyone else has input. Will revise my draft.

Unfortunatly I was in a different League that isn't getting together this year. So I get to start new.

And Cul isn't being kept because the person that had him is no longer with the company I work for.
