Last night I had my draft. Here’s a blow-by-blow of the H-Town Hawgmollies draft board. Let me know how you think I’ll fare:
QB – Peyton Manning. My first round choice with the #6 pick. If one of the top RB’s fell to me, I’d have scooped them up. But I chose Peyton over Lamont Jordan, Ronnie Brown and Edggerin James. Time will tell if this was a wise move.
RB – Carnell Williams. I was surprised to see a back of this caliber left on the board by the time I chose again in the second round. Some owners decided to go RB / WR in the wrap around, leaving Williams on the board. I gladly scooped up Mr. Cadillac.
RB – Domanick Davis. My 3rd round choice. The Texans like him enough to draft Mario Williams over Reggie Bush. ‘Nuff said.
WR – Chris Chambers. 4th pick. I needed a receiver. He’s a stud.
RB – Tatum Bell. Some would say this was a reach, and there were a few other decent RBs on the board but none has the potential upside of Bell. I could run for 1,000 behind the Denver line. This will be the pick that brings home the championship.
WR – In the sixth & seventh rounds, I focused on WRs, taking Donald Driver and Mushin Muhammad. Nothing too exciting there, but I should get solid numbers from those guys. For Mauhammad’s sake, I hope Brian Griese starts in Chicago.
TE – Jason Witten. Another Vol. I wasn’t going to reach for a TE and I was pleasantly surprised that Witten was still on the board in the middle rounds.
W / T – My flex receiver is Drew Bennett. The Titans stink, but they’ll be down in virtually every game they play (meaning they’ll need to throw) and Bennett’s their best threat.
Defense – Chicago. I have the best QB and the best defense in the league. I like the way this looks.
K – John Kasay. Carolina should score plenty of points.
Bench – I was able to grab Jamal Lewis in the 11th round. Wow, how the mighty have fallen. I know he’s a thug, but somebody’s gotta get the carries in Baltimore. It was only 2 years ago he ran for 2,000. The rest of my bench is completely pedestrian: Braylon Edwards, Aaron Brooks, Ashley Lelie, Samkon Gado, and Mercedes Lewis (whom I’ve never heard of).
How’d I do? Do I have a shot?
already & not yet 
The fact that you were able to get two quality backs in rounds 2 and 3 make Peyton a great pick.Good draft.
I kinda lucked out there. I was the beneficiary of the WR / TE run in rounds 2 & 3. You’ve got some stud RBs, too.
Not bad by getting two decent backs not in the first round. Like your reciever choices. When did Brady get picked is my only question? If he fell past the third round I’d have drafted him and dealt him for a reciever later.If not, your teams looks good.Hurry and post on the SEC so I can do a college preview.
SEC post is coming tonight. Be looking for it.
Jason,Start getting ready for the 2007 draft my friend. First of all Davis might not make the team b/c of his knee. Tatum Bell will be a back up. You win with running backs my friend. Your receivers, well did you see GREEN BAY play last night! Do you really think Grossman will stay healthy to hit Muhammed. I like Manning and Witten. Cadallic would be good but he won’t score goal line touchdowns, that’s for Pittman or Alstott. I won’t talk about your bench. Should be good for mid place finish.Jeff K
Davis is a bit banged up, but he was a potential steal in the late 3rd round. I couldn’t pass him up. As for Tatum Bell, he was everybody’s buzz back last season, but he ran for “only” 900 yards sharing carries with Mike Anderson. Anderson’s gone and I’m not confident that Mike Bell is the long term answer. Thus, Tatum is my boy. I’ll take my chances with him. I have zero confidence in Grossman. Luckily, he’ll get hurt soon enough and Griese will start.
Jeff is right on risky with the backs. Muhammed will get his catches though…
