So my draft begins in couple of hours...what do you guys think about C.J. Spiller. I really want him, but maybe in a later round?

Don't reach on him. Do you know your draft postion now?

Vinny says: "When engaging in trades make sure you add a player or two to sweeten the pot. Unfortunately in Fantasy Football you can't resort to using draft picks. Also make sure you stare down the other person when offering a trade."

I'm drafting number two...

Peterson or Chris Johnson

I drafted Jones-Drew at number 1. He's the safest bet not to get injured. I'm probably wrong about CJ, but Peterson always feels like he's on borrowed time.

Shit, mistake....I'm drafting nine. Think I'm taking CJ Spiller

Not in the first round. I got him in the fourth or fifth round. Maybe even as late as the sixth.

Here use this.

Way to many Cowboys.

Yeah, seriously, I'd be dealing all of them if I ended up with that roster. I did pick up Miles Austin last year just before his explosion...and that helped me a lot, but I never draft and rarely own a Cowboy. He was an exception. He won't repeat that success though.

Think about trading Homo, you could probably get a lot of value for him. He's overrated and overhyped. People will overpay.

Usually, when I pre-rank my players, I completely exclude Romo and some other Dallas players. I also move many of theirs and the Eagles' players down a little....just so I won't end up with many of them.

I know...that's why I can't sleep tonight.

So it was an interesting night, to say the least, at my first fantansy draft. Couple of things I wanted to point out that explains my picks, which were questionable.

We briefly lost the internet connection and the system made an auto pick for me at RB/Knowshon Moreno. I was so pissed! Our league is also using entire defenses as well IDP. I drafted late in the first.

Offense:

QB Philip Rivers (2/16)
RB Pierre Thomas (1/9)
RB CJ Spiller (3/33)
RB Knowsho Moreno (autopick 5/57) this is also a flex position
TE Chris Cooley (4/40)
WR Braylon Edwards via trade for Robert Mecham (7/81)
WR Santan Moss (6/64)

Defense:

Pittsburgh (8/88)

IDP

Terrell Suggs
DeAngelo Hall
DeMarcus Ware
Dwight Freeney

K - Robbie Gould

Back-ups:

Donovan McNabb
Eddie Royal
Tashard Choice
Brian Westbrooks (19/225)
Shaun Ellis
Adrian Wilson

Definitely need more RB depth. Moreno is not 100% healthy. Choice is in a 3-way RBBC and "Westbrooks" won't be much of an impact for fantasy purposes.

I'd cut your IDP backups for another RB. See if someone like Hightower, Sproles, Donald Brown or another RB who has a vulnerable starter ahead of him, just to bolster your RB depth.

You're solid at QB and RB.

WR looks good. "Santan" Moss, Edwards, Royal are solid...but you need another one on the bench. I'd get another one for that other IDP backup or see if you could trade Choice for a good WR.

I never like carrying more than 1 IDP backup, if any at all. Wasted roster position and there are always good defensive players available if you have to plug someone else in for injury or bye weeks.
