Hey guys, just finished a 14 team draft where I had the #1 pick. Naturally I picked LT (for the 3rd straight year). The rest of the draft went okay but I was hoping to grab Jason Campbell towards the end. Unfortunately, things didn't work the way I intended but Jason is still available. Now I want to figure out a rational way of picking him up off of waivers. Take a look at my team and tell me what you think:
LaDainian Tomlinson - I really hated taking him...
Clinton Portis - Available with the #28 pick
Roy Williams - one of the games best
Deion Branch - I think he'll be a top 10 WR
Reggie Brown -available in the fifth in a 14 team league = of course
Brandon Jackson - needed a backup with starter potential
Alge Crumpler - available after a run on TE's
Mark Clayton - standard 3rd year receiver pick
Ben Roethlisberger - looked good in the pocket this pre-season
Eli Manning - pickings were slim; I feel they are going to play from behind
Dominic Rhodes - Needed to find a backup for later in the season
Ernest Wilford - still a starter
David Akers - I don't see much of a red zone offense
Washington - the matchup is favorable...; )
Keep in mind that after my pick I had to wait 26 picks before my next one. I'm thinking of dropping either Wilford or Rhodes but depth in this league is a valuable commodity.
Any suggestions?

Just to throw mine out there as well I drafted 1st in my league also, but we only have 10 teams:
1 1 LaDainian Tomlinson RB
2 10 Marc Bulger QB
3 1 Steve Smith WR
4 10 Marques Colston WR
5 1 Tony Gonzalez TE
6 10 Marshawn Lynch RB
7 1 Adam Vinatieri K
8 10 Jerricho Cotchery WR
9 1 Philadelphia Eagles DST
10 10 Jamal Lewis RB
11 1 Alex Smith QB
12 10 Randy McMichael
13 1 Kevin Curtis WR
14 10 Jerious Norwood RB
15 1 Matt Jones WR
16 10 Buffalo Bills DST
17 1 Shaun Suisham K
18 10 JaMarcus Russell QB
Its a keeper league and thats why I picked up JaMarcus in the last round. It was also $50 entry and winner takes $450.

those are your keepers. your qbs are pretty average (grossman is probably better than either one, or possibly green, depending on how well he adapts.. he has weapons in miami).
it is a good draft as far as starters across the board though. and besides bye weeks or injuries, you're set up pretty well to win often.
dropping eli or roth for campbell right now probably isnt a good idea, but you've got guys that aren't that good there. might even pay to wait a couple games with a finger on the waiver wire in case he gets hot quickly. right now i'm not sure i'd even make that move though. you could afford to improve wr/rb depth, but i doubt there's much left.

Javon Walker
Hines Ward
Frank Gore
Adrian Peterson
Dallas Clark
Braylon Edwards
Kevin Curtis
Bn-Cedric Benson
Bn-Ronnie Brown
Bn-Ladell Betts (I have a feeling Portis will go down, I had to get him off waivers)
Bn-Heath Miller

Grossman's gone, I wouldn't take Green even if Chambers didn't drop passes.
I probably have the best depth at wr among everyone. Five starters, unless something has changed with Wilford very recently. Very little to pick from at running back right now and I mean very little. My thinking with Eli and Ben was that as pathetic a year as both of them had last year they still had 24/20 TD's and proven receivers/tight ends.
Like I said, when you're waiting 26 picks in between selections you have to figure who's going to be there the next time. I think you're right about waiting for a bit before picking up Campbell. If he plays very well, though, I may not get him since I'm 12th on the waiver wire priority.
BTW, we are only starting 2 WR's and 2RB's (no flex, either). kind of weird but not my rules.

While we're at it... Here's my selections.
I'm in a 8 person league, so everyone is pretty stacked. I'm kind of curious as to whether or not I should start Cooley or Winslow. I think Cooley may struggle against MIA LB's. Who knows.

RB - Larry Johnson KC
RB - Travis Henry DEN
WR - Larry Fitzgerald ARZ
WR - Andre Johnson HOU
TE - Chris Cooley WAS
PK - Josh Brown SEA
DEF - New England
Benched
