i like my team, i'd didn't get any backup TE's or anything so i could get good depth at WR and RB

and in a 15 round draft i somehow got Jason Cambell (who i really like this year) in the 13th round

Jones is not a bad flex/bench option. He’s on a team with Brett Favre, so once teams back out of the box to cover Cotchery and Coles downfield, he’ll be able to churn out some good chunks of yardage...or at least better than last season’s paltry 3.6. I think he’ll be a darkhorse bet to get 10 TDs on the ground, provided he remains healthy.

Your QB situation makes me a little nervous, though. If I were you, I’d dangle one of your bench receivers along with Marc Bulger to see if someone will bite on an upgrade for you. I’d say something like Bulger + Bowe/Coles should net you a Matt Schaub second-level QB, hell maybe even Schaub himself. I just don’t trust Bulger to stay healthy enough or be good enough to keep it together for the season. I may be wrong, but definitely wouldn’t want to be pinning my fantasy playoff hopes on Jason Campbell down the stretch.

I'd aim for Hasselbeck, then maybe Schaub, Rivers and none of the rest.

Mine, from the same league as hermes, 8th pick of 10:

QB Tom Brady, Philip Rivers
RB Marshawn Lynch, LenDale White, Kevin Smith, Chester Taylor
WR TJ Houshmandzadeh, Santonio Holmes, Roddy White, Lee Evans, Jerricho Cotchery, Ted Ginn Jr.
TE Heath Miller
K Neil Rackers
DEF Indianapolis

Short on running backs - I'll eventually have to remedy that, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

Fair enough, I didn't think you'd go for it. I'm open to trading Rivers, so see if you can tempt me with some other package.
