    OK....I am sure the wisecracks will outnumber the real critique but in any event how about some comments on my Fantasy Draft conducted this afternoon in my office:

    1) LaDanian Tomlinson ( I was of course 1st overall position )
    2) Carson Palmer
    3) Willis McGahee
    4) Larry Fitzgerald
    5) Javon Walker
    6) Marshawn Lynch
    7) Darrell Jackson
    8 Jamal Lewis
    9) Jaguars defense
    10) Todd Heap
    11) Jay Cutler
    12) Michael Turner
    13) Nate Kaeding

    Other than Marshawn Lynch and Lendale White, your team looks pretty solid. I only point out Lynch because he is an unproven rookie. You have two solid team defense in J-ville and Philly. I don't recognize Michael Turner and Nate Kaeding, but I'm just a so-so NFL follower. I'm in a fantasy league with an automatic draft.

    Turner is a highly capable backup to Tomlinson and is my "handcuff" to LT as the experts recommend to do.

    Kaeding is a top rated kicker for SD.

    Dave, I gotta question Jamal Lewis. (I'm saying this as a Brown's fan.)

    "In addition, there's very little backfield competition, so Lewis will get carries."

    There's that and the fact Lewis was my 4th back taken and it was the 8th round.

    Not too many if any feature backs left in the 8th round of a fantasy draft.

    MCG, your first three picks are almost enough to make a solid team. I like your team.
