So, how does everyone think things went for their teams? Grade yourselves.

It was hard for me to miss it, but somehow I managed it.
I went to bed at 6am and woke up at 10:30pm.

Awesome, I drafted Vince Young and Eli Manning.
This is why you don't rely on preranking players and you show up to the draft.

I'm okay with my draft. I can't say I look at any of my players and think, "Man, I got a steal on that one." Maybe that's a compliment to the competition tho...

Madden curse! Madden curse!
Bad QBs aren't as much of a drain as bad RBs, though.

I think I got some great speculative picks in Devin Hester and Alex Smith (TE), and a backup QB with a great upside (Grossman).

True, maybe if I'm lucky one of them will have a breakout season.
Oh, and if I was there I definitely would have taken Stephen Jackson over LJ at #2. I thought they'd produce similar numbers before LJ skipped all of training camp. And Jackson is actually signed...

I got the last pick. I did not like being last. Even though I got to pick twice in a row it only helped in the transition between round one and two, when I picked up Peyton. I would grade my draft overall a C. One reason is I didnt really start paying attention to the bye weeks until the last few rounds. So, I got two QB's, Peyton and Alex Smith, who both have bye weeks in week 6, and also have some bye week issues with some other positions. So, at least 2 of the weeks this season i will be forced to field sub par teams. Who knows, by then I may have a sleeper on my roster.

Other than the bye week issue, I really like your team. Wouldn't be surprised if your team is one of the top ones in the league.

I'm happy with Drew Brees and Clinton Portis. Thought for sure they'd be snatched up more quickly than that.

Didnt make the draft, sorry, duty calls. As for what I ended up getting drafted from the computer, C+.

Brees was drafted too early.

I ran into that same problem as well. I've got three starters going out at the same time in one week and my backups are questionable.
As for my draft, I'm happy with...
1. Picking up Antonio Gates and Steve Smith
2. Picking up a good core of QBs (Rivers and Leinart)
3. Getting a solid #2 receiver in Bernard Berrian (provided Grossman will deliver the deep ball to him)
I'm not happy with...
1. Not paying attention to the bye weeks
2. Waiting so long to draft a quality defense
3. Some of my back-up players are rather questionable as to how they will perform
4. Could have gone higher in the first round, instead of settling with Ronnie Brown.
Overall, I'd give myself a B for my draft...though I agree with Trav in saying that I don't like being one of the last ones to draft.

Well, I'm a beginner. Wanted to make sure I got him before anyone else did.
Kinda like the Cleveland Defense. Browns rock.

Any chance you'd be willing to part ways with Kellen? Come on, you know he's bound to get into another motorcycle accident...

LOL, I had some reservations about K2 but I'm hoping he stays off his bike and in one piece for one season at least!

One of my better fantasy drafts. Which is pretty telling since I wasn't actually present for it.
