We had our Gang Green Nation fantasy league draft last weekend. I wanted to share the team I selected with you.
Manning, Eli QB NYG
Jackson, Steven RB STL
Mendenhall, Rashard RB
Foster, Arian RB HOU
Marshall, Brandon WR MIA
Nicks, Hakeem WR NYG
Cooley, Chris TE WAS
Feely, Jay K ARI
Giants DST
Roethlisberger, Ben QB
Forsett, Justin RB SEA
Forte, Matt RB CHI
Britt, Kenny WR TEN
Jones, Jacoby WR HOU
Wallace, Mike WR PIT
This pretty well reflects a number of my drafting philosophies. In this age of splitting carries, there aren't a ton of legimitate number one backs out there. Grab as many as you can. That way you have depth. I don't love my receiving corps, but I tried to target guys with real breakout potential. Roethlisberger is going to be available for great value as a backup because he'll miss the first four games, and a lot of people won't want to root for him. I love Cooley as a value guy if you can't get Dallas Clark or Antonio Gates. I think Donovan McNabb will target him a lot. I picked my defense and kicker in the last two rounds. I mentioned it in an earlier post, but the difference between the best and number twelve defense just isn't big in fantasy. Plus they fluctuate wildly from year to year. A defense that will emerge is always out there. You can always just play the matchups too.

what a league
You must be playing a bunch of idiots to let you draft such good players…
I would never be able to get such a good draft in my league
before you start calling people idiots you should know the facts about the draft:
1.there were a few teams that weren’t there which prompted the dreaded auto-pick
2.a few owners had(not by choice) the computer randomely selecting players for them
3.first there was no time limit then all of sudden there was only a 30 second limit, which had many owners scrambling to make a pick
4.the owners that were not present didn’t realize the preset rankings had them taking 3 qbs in a row and the Jets D/ST in the 2nd round.
So before you start calling other people idiots you should know what happened during the draft.

You know whats even worse?
the ESPN Autopick, from everyone I know that’s in one of their leagues, if your not there you end up with 8 RBs, which thankfully is the max amount of players you can have for one position.

I’ve never done a league through ESPN. But it doesn’t surprise me. I shouldn’t be complaining, I’m one of the owners that benefited from it.

It's the blogs league
Further, it’s football related and we’re bored waiting for the regular season. And many of us have leagues so we’re interested.
Beyond that, it has nothing to do with GG. Guess you’ll have to be a big boy and deal with that.
Meh starting squad, but great bench
I hope you’re planning on starting Wallace over Nicks as soon as Roethlisberger comes back… Steven Jackson’s the type of RB I’d KILL to have on my REAL team but for fantasy I would try to avoid unless he somehow fell a few rounds. He just doesn’t score TDs, and there’s no prospect of that at all this year. Maybe if it’s a PPR league, but I dunno the rules of this one. But you’ve got at least one or two guys on the squad that are gonna break out this year hopefully!
My Team--ATL Jetsbaby
Yo-
CBS sports was a bit cumbersome with a quick clock…but no excuses..
as much as it pains me to say—Tom Brady (my qb) is going to have a pretty sick year…chris johnson (my rb) aint bad either….
I am coming for you other gang greeners…..
My Team
QB – Aaron Rodgers
RB – Shonn Greene
RB – Michael Turner
RB/WR – Ahmad Bradshaw
WR – Calvin Johnson
WR – Malcolm Floyd
TE – Jermichael Finley
K – Nick Folk
DEF- Cowboys
B – Michael Bush
B – Donald Brown
B – Fred Jackson
B – Devin Aromashodu
B – Johnny Knox
Sidenote: Acquired Michael Turner in a trade for Jamaal Charles and Michael Crabtree
Somebody must've gassed ya team
Thinkin you can outrun, outlast Gang Green
Knicks/Jets/Rangers/Yankees
Certainly better than my team...
stupid Philly airport had no wireless internet, stupid auto picks took Sidney Rice in the fourth round as my second WR option, and for some reason took two kickers early, my team sucks.
Autopick is the worst
One year it picked Curtis Martin for me….which would have been great if he wasn’t RETIRED!!! It also always picks multiple DEFs or Ks…who would ever do that unless you had an unlimited bench?

who's the better choice?
Finley or Keller at TE? I have a chance to keep either one. Or i can choose Celek from phily.
