QB GRADE = A
RB = I'm really high on S. Jackson, especially with Faulk not being around to steal 3rd-down plays from him. Lamont Jordan is not bad and if he's the best that was available...ok. Oakland as a team isn't dependable for fantasy purposes. They'll need Jordan to suceed though, since their QB situation is horrible. Tatum Bell could end up being better than Jordan, so he's a solid pick, especially in the 6th round. Addai is a big unknown. Williams is a good risk to take for a rookie RB. He should be better than Reggie Bush.
RB GRADE = B

thanks for the comments, just a few notes:
QB:
trent green gets 4k yards, but only 20 or so TDs (plummer has the exact same problem and can't play in bad weather). I'm hoping (if lelie shuts up) that plummer will have 2 #1s and a good #2 to throw to. otherwise, he'll still be an average FF QB like trent green (but a bit worse). I'm not going to rack up a ton of positive points on QB matchups, but thats the trade off for going heavy on RBs and WRs (which have much steeper drop offs).
RB:
jordan could easily get 1200 yards and 11 tds (what he was on pace for, but he missed 2 games), so he's really not that bad (though he obviously isn't as nice as LJ etc). I probably should have taken C williams (TB) or ronnie brown (MIA), but I'm not sure they'll do as well this year (neither one has good TD prouction and williams had more bad games than good ones). Brown suffered from lack of carries though, so he's still a (promising) unknown. I liked deangelo because d foster can't stay on the field and I think he's a #2 quality back anyways. I liked addai cause manning creates a running game, so whoever you stick in there has a good chance of getting 1,000.
