14 team league- team
qb's are sketchy, what others are on the waiver, but then i'm betting not much in a 14 team league so you might be out of luck unless a trade is made, and you don't really need 2 kickers

wr depth isn't so hot, but with the ability to start TE's and you having two of them helps there

12 team league- team
i like this team a lot better, your wr core is very good, rb depth not so hot
but your qb's are better

8 team league- team
good team as well, since its only an 8 team league you could probably easily get away with only having one defense and maybe one TE and get depth else where and you don't really need a 3rd qb either unless your planning some trades

14 - damn, that's terrible on QBs. a 300 yard/3 TD game is only 19 points? Smart, not spending a high pick on Brady/Manning etc.

Not a fan of your RB depth, although LT should have another amazing season. Good starting WRs, then Antonio Gates, and a solid Kicker and defense.

12 - Very good team, especially if McFadden pans out. Solid at every position.

8 - Good team, with solid depth. Not as impressive as your 12 team draft but good all around.

Yep. Cliff Levingston grabbed Eli late since he was the best QB left that wasn't awful. Cliff Levingston figures he's a decent QB in that league since he'll throw some picks with his TDs and yards but they won't take points away for those INTs.

The RB depth is what Cliff Levingston is most excited about. McFadden has a good shot at being a top 10 RB, Peterson speaks for himself and Stewart will be carrying the load in Carolina. Cliff Levingston wouldn't mind having a better backup than Norwood but you can't have everything in a 12 team league.

and you don't really need 2 kickers

Yea. Bironas had that huge game last year, and given how inconsistent Vince Young is, he might not get too many chances again so it's nice to have Hansen. Hansen's bye week is 4 and Bironas' is 6, so after week 6 Cliff Levingston will drop one of them and pick up a backup defense to Dallas (who's bye is Week 10).


Of note, Cliff Levingston grabbed Matt Hasselback in the 10th round of the 8 team league draft. ICLO, incredible value there considering how much they'll be throwing the ball and how well he did last year.

[LAKESHOW]

your runningbacks are crap, besides LT. receivers look ok. and i dont like eli manning as a big point getter. he wont drop any jaw dropping brady type points, but his team will win and barely win. very little can be had from eli. not the stuff that is needed to produce.

[Cliff Levingston]

your runningbacks are crap, besides LT.

Agreed at the moment since Ricky Williams is slated to start in Miami. Ronnie Brown was a risky pick but pretty much every better RB was gone at that point. Mendenhall is a backup right now, but if they didn't intend to use him, they wouldn't have drafted him in the 1st round. Willie Parker is incredibly overrated especially for a power run game like the Steelers traditionally favor so Cliff Levingston thinks there a good chance Mendenhall could grab the starting job.

and i dont like eli manning as a big point getter.

Neither does Cliff Levingston, but check out the scoring for QBs. 30 yards per point and only 3 points for TDs. That means a 300 yard, 3 TD game only goes for 19 points. Cliff Levingston didn't want to spend a high pick on a QB because of that and Eli was basically one of the last non-crap QBs left. The Giants figure to run the ball but Cliff Levingston was hoping that the superbowl run helped Eli out in terms of confidence and he looked really good in the first half of last night's game.
