At first glance, my fantasy football team was a power house - in spite of me getting to the draft 30 minutes late. When I got there, my pre-draft rankings had already helped me automatically draft Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Vernon Davis, and Jermichael Finley. Being late actually put me at a disadvantage though because I didn't get to settle into the process like I would have liked to.
I ended up drafting Sidney Rice and Santonio Holmes as a stater and backup respectively, but didn't realize that both of them were injured. So, I had to pick up new free agents to replace them: Kevin Boss and Josh Morgan. I also moved a player out and picked up Correll Buckhalter. These new players aren't probably on many people's fantasy teams, but here I am with them. Hopefully I can trade Boss since I don't need 4 tight ends on my team and I also have Anthony Fasano of Notre Dame.
I was late picking up running backs, mostly an affect of drafting later in the first 2 rounds, but I did end up with decent picks: Marion Barber and Pierre Thomas. I also have Kevin Smith of Detroit, who could do well if that passing game and offensive line do well, and LaDanian Tomlinson of the Jets.
Here is a full listing of my team:
Starters
QB - Drew Brees
RB - Marion Barber
RB - Pierre Thomas
RB - LaDanian Tomlinson
WR - Larry Fitzgerald
WR - Joshua Cribbs
TE - Vernon Davis
TE - Jermichael Finley
D - Ravens
K - Janikowski
Other Bench Players
QB - Eli Manning
RB - Kevin Smith
RB - Correll Buckhalter
WR - Josh Morgon
TE - Anthony Fasano
TE - Kevin Boss
D - Tennessee
So, I have some very clear weaknesses:
1. I'm too heavy at Tight End.
2. I'm very weak at Wide Receiver (unless Cribbs blows up).
3. Running back is iffy since Barber has to split time and Tomlinson - who knows?
My obvious strengths are:
1. QB
2. Fitzgerald
3. Vernon Davis and Jermichael Finley are 2 of the top 5 TE's in the NFL.
4. Janikowski is the only kicker that was a 1st round pick.
5. Ravens and Titans defenses are strong.
6. If my running backs hit, I'll be hard to stop.
