Just got back results of fantasy football draft - thoughts?
10-team draft on Yahoo's fantasy football site -- players are pre-ranked, then the computer auto-drafted for me:

QB Peyton Manning, IND
QB Matt Hasselback, SEA
RB Deuce McAllister, NO
RB Ahman Green, GB
RB Moe Williams, MIN
RB Thomas Jones, TB
WR Donald Driver, GB
WR Laveranues Coles, WAS
WR Chad Johnson, CIN
WR Marty Booker, CHI
WE Chris Chambers, MIA
TE Doug Jolley, OAK
TE Chad Lewis, PHI
K Martin Gramatica, TB
K Adam Vinatieri, NE
DEF Miami
DEF St. Louis

Personally, I think I'm gonna kick some ass. :D

1. Wow!
That's an awesome draft. I'm in a 14 team league at work and will be drafting in 2 weeks. I can only hope to draft as well as you.

You're right,
you will kick some ass.

2. Not a bad team
Look for Driver and Green to have BIG years as my Packers have some defensive problems and may need to outscore everybody.

3. Look for Booker
to have a HUGE night when my Bears trounce the Pack on a cold Monday night in October, and open up the new Soldier's Field, annointed with melted cheese.

4. Aside from being a little weak at tight end (most are)...
...that is a damned good team.

5. Onterrio Smith
If you have an available bench slot and depending on what comes out of the Vikings' training camp on their RB battle, you might think about picking up Onterrio Smith to supplement Moe Williams.

Great team!

6. Yeah, I know...
I picked up Thomas Jones because the auto-draft gave me Michael Bennett, who I now realize is probably out for the year.

I tried to grab Onterrio, but someone else in the draft already did.

7. 33 yards on 12 tries in preseason vs. Jax
He's got tons of potential and the revamped Vikings O Line is freakin' enormous this season, so having a Vike RB might not be such a bad idea. Moe Williams is no slouch either.

9. Not bad...
not bad at all. TE is a little iffy, and i'm a bit iffy on Hasselbeck, if Manning were to get injured. But, other than that, you have a good team.
