    Barber. It was actually autopicked for me, but I probably would have taken him even if I was there. (It probably would have been him, Portis, or Brady. I hate taking a QB that early.)

    I figured that was it. Im not too high on the Barber wagon. I just dont see him at a 1st round pick.

    He was almost worth it last year and this year he won't have Julius Jones stealing his carries. I don't think that Felix Jones will get that many carries.

    Your team looks above average, I'm not too sold on championship caliber, you have some injury prone guys, I always feel Colts players are useless because they are benched when you need them.

    work the waiver wire youll be fine.

    He only won't play week 17. Playoffs for most leagues are weeks 15 and 16. Also, using that logic, would you not draft any Patriots or Cowboys?

    I don't really see any injury prone guys either. Since 2002, Fred Taylor has played less than 14 games only once. Galloway has played in 15 or more games every year since 2001. Edge has played 14 or more in 5 out of 6 years since 2002. Which guys were you talking about?

    No one has any comments? I hate the 6th pick this year, but I think my team turned out really well. Anyone have anything to add?

    I like your starters a lot. Bench is ok but since they shouldn't see much time I think your team will do well.

    The good: Great starting WRs, Favre, Marion Barber
    The bad: McFadden as your RB2
    The ugly: Edge

    DMC as the second RB is was a high upside pick. That is also why I have 3 starting RBs on my bench. Edge (who even though he isn't great anymore is still relatively reliable), Taylor (I still believe), and Morris will all have good, reliable years. I wouldn't be surprised if I can end up trading one of my RBs down the road to upgrade my 3rd WR.
