Prater is talented I just don't trust a Northwestern offense to target a single WR. He's certainly worth the gamble late in the draft. I have no idea why Ware was still on the board.

With my #1 & #3 backs facing off-field trouble, I figured I should grab a third in James Sims. He did pretty well splitting carries, his running mate left Kansas. Charlie Weis is gushing about him in the media despite his upcoming 3 game suspension for a DUI. Combine that with the amount of catches Weis backs usually get and he could be a huge steal.

QB Bray - was a monster last year before getting injured. Shouldn't be a nagging injury either.
QB Thomas - top fantasy QB with a lot of new blood protecting and catching his passes. Excellent value later in the draft.

RB Ball - apparently a monster on and off the field.
RB Bernard - was an absolute stud as a true frosh and was a very good receiver. With the spread he should see even more catches.
RB Toussaint - primed for a 1400 yd season before messing up off the field. Hoke can't afford to bench him for long.

RB White - quality beyond his handicap, especially with 2 back sets UW plans to use this year.
RB Lawrence - #2 back behind Josey (145 car 1200 yd 9 td), who is redshirting (injury). His team may get worked but he'll get a lot of touches.
RB Yeldon - dominated the spring game. If Lacy stumbles (injury or performance) he could be the go to guy.
RB Sims - Split carries with a RB that transferred. Weis loves him and he put up solid numbers in a platoon system.

WR Stills - with every experienced returning WR kicked off the team, he stands to have a strong season, even if Metoyer lives up to the hype.
WR Highsmith - Expected to be the focal point of the high octane passing offense coming to NC.
WR DGB - best WR recruit since the Julio/AJ class, on a pass happy team that has no defense. I smell a lot of passes.

WR Beckham Jr - caught 41 balls as a frosh from an arm punter. Poised for a solid 60+ catch season with a competent signal caller.
WR Bell - 145 catches depart w/ Maze, Smelley, Richardson, Hanks. Bell is top returning WR. Offense is supposed to be much less pedestrian this year.
WR Stewart - Has had some huge games, coaches singled him out repeatedly in the spring. Always worth a gamble with their O.

TE Ford - Caught 14 balls in relief of 58 rec 600 yd 9 td Allen, winner of the best TE (Mackey) award. Should put up nice numbers.

K Catanzaro - Clemson offense is a well oiled machine. Very happy to steal him after a long run on kickers had already transpired.

DEF LSU - best defense in the country last year with a brutal schedule. Much softer schedule this year and an offense that shouldn't leave them out to dry as often.

I focused on dual threat guys at QB due to points from passing yards getting chopped.

QB Miller - Homer pick that will hopefully be worth it thanks to Meyer.
QB Scheelhaase - Best dual threat guy available when I took him in the 14th. Plus they play Minnesota during Ohio State's bye.

I took quite a bit of risk here hoping that guys will be the clear #1 back for their traditionally ground heavy teams but it could come back to hurt me if they split carries (Lacy) or fall back on the depth chart (Holmes)- or both.

RB Lacy - Hope he turns into a typical starting Bama back, hope split carries don't hurt his value too much.
RB Holmes - Hope he turns into a typical starting Hokie back, looked like #1 in the spring but could be a bad pick if he gets passed up on the depth chart.
RB Gillislee - Huge loss of production in Florida's backfield that hopefully he will be a big part of replacing.

RB Franklin - Good value (IMO) in the 8th, he might be more reliable than my "starters" but I don't trust UCLA to be any good which is why I think he dropped.
RB Waymon - Hope that TCU can shred Big 12 defenses on the ground enough to make this a good pick even with the split carries.

I tried to focus on pass heavy offenses with my WRs in the hopes that huge passing attacks would boost their fantasy value.

WR Austin - I've been burned by early WVU picks in the past (Devine) so hopefully this one works out - lots of touches in a dynamic offense and added value on special teams.
WR Hopkins - #2 in Clemson's passing attack (once suspension is over), I hope teams focus on stopping Watkins and he reaps the production.
WR Palmer - Likely #1 WR on a pass heavy (but not very good) NC State team with an experienced returning QB against ACC defenses - hoping for the best.

WR Nwachukwu - I thought he was a great value at the end of the 9th, but he dropped that far for obvious reasons (new QB and SEC defenses), hope he can add good value against some of their easier opponents in a pass heavy attack.
WR Anderson - Supposed to be the "chain mover" in Okie St. passing attack- hopefully the new QB issue is balanced by the pass heavy system and Big 12 defenses being Big 12 defenses.
WR Montgomery - Likely #1 WR target at Stanford but unproven and with a new QB, I really needed a guy without a week 7 bye. :lol:

Tight end was an afterthought for me as I didn't think any was significantly better than the pack.

TE Fiedorowicz - Hopefully with no RBs and an experienced QB Fiedorowicz will be a productive part of Iowa's passing attack.
TE Graham - Hoping that he can benefit from some of the old Wisky TE magic that will hopefully come with the new coaches at Pitt.

K Furney - Hoping the pirate king can put up a lot of points with the Cougars in the Pac 10.

DEF Florida - Returns a ton of starters and plays a remarkably easy schedule this year including some cupcakes late if I happen to make the playoffs.
DEF South Carolina - Clowney plus Kentucky during Florida's bye - hopefully they preform well and there are some other decent match-ups to take advantage of on the schedule.

Eddie Lacy, taken right after Rogers, has a high ankle sprain just suffered days ago, while already recovering from turf toe and a history of durability issues. I wonder who drafted his temporary backup? :evil:

Still a pretty rough offseason.

Ball concussion
Toussaint suspended?
Bray missing a top WR

Trying to convince yourself you had a good draft again?
