That's pretty solid Jeffro..about the only weakness, as I'm sure your aware..is that RB2 is a little weak. And other than hoping the Law Firm can hold the rookie at bay, you dont have much behind him either. But it's not like Wilson is a schmuck. I'd say that playing matchups with Wilson, Ellis and DWILL you might be just fine.
The only other potential problem is that RGIII, even if he is full go in week 1, is that he's still likely to miss time, and Bradford hasn't shown much fantasy wise, would've liked to see a stronger back up.
I'd give you a strong B+. Well done IMHO.

Love the QB this year, love the WR (besides the Decker pick) but not too high on the RB's after Rice. What RB's did you pass on for Decker? Like the fact you had the stones to go WR/WR in the 2nd/3rd though...............solid team.

I feel like getting Hillman and Floyd as late as I did were steals, IMO. Also, getting Jacquizz is insurance, since SJax has only played 1 full season in the last 5 years.

Nice WR combo with Jones and Green, surprised Gonzo lasted until the 7th round so nice pickup there. Someone already stated lack of RB but never would have gotten the Green/Jones combo; solid defense as well, looks like a nice team besides the RB depth

This is how the RB's went after my Decker pick:

Lamar Miller
Chris Ivory
Ryan Matthews
Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Rashard Mendenhall
Andre Brown
Shane Vereen
Vick Ballard
Johnathan Franklin
DeAngelo Williams

This one is definitely better than the last, IMO, but there are still some RB issues.

I love your WRs and RG3 (with possible breakout Bradford in the last round). Obviously you can't go wrong with Green and Jones and I also like the Broyles pick later. '9ers D and Walsh are great options even though you reached a little for them.

With your RBs, you could once again find yourself in some trouble.

Ray Rice is a solid, low risk pick. Bernard Pierce will be more involved this year, but the Ravens will run a lot, so you should be fine. David Wilson is boom or bust. He looks like a committee back at the moment. I love his upside, but he has a pretty low floor too. If he misses, where do you turn?

BJGE is a committee back who has the short end of the talent stick and may not be start-able by mid-October. If he were your 4th back, OK, but he is your 3rd. Hillman and D. Williams are also time share guys who are likely to be on the short end. Rogers is strictly a change of pace option now.

The good news is that you have depth, so hopefully one of these guys emerges as a true feature back to be an every week starter. Even if that doesn't happen, you should still be competitive most weeks.

 

[tlance]

Ouch, Miller was your guy. I would draft him about 2 rounds before I would consider Wilson. Ivory and Vereen would have made good picks also. Not instead of Wilson, but in addition to.

 

[TK21775]

Would have grabbed Miller instead of Decker myself, plenty of WR still available such as Mike Williams, Tavon Austin, TY Hilton, James Jones etc. later on in the draft. If Wilson emerges as a star and RGIII stays healthy it's still a very nice team you put together

Lamar Miller
Chris Ivory
Ryan Matthews
Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Rashard Mendenhall
Andre Brown
Shane Vereen
Vick Ballard
Johnathan Franklin
DeAngelo Williams

Yeah I would have pulled the trigger on Lamar myself. Staying away from Wilson this year unless he really drops..........because he does drop.......the ball a lot and with Brown in the wings and the Giants taking the hot hand approach, just seems too expensive to me.

I feel like getting Hillman and Floyd as late as I did were steals, IMO. Also, getting Jacquizz is insurance, since SJax has only played 1 full season in the last 5 years.

I think you may some misguided faith in the Broncos 1st preseason depth chart. Not only is Hillman not good enough to be the lead back of that committee, the Broncos brass has more or less said they don't want him to be. But they arent about to just hand it over to Ball either, so they're putting him #2 so it appears as though he has to "earn" it. Hillman is an emergency fillin at best. Even if Ball gets hurt or doesnt win the job, Moreno will. Hillman isnt a steal..he kind of a wasted pick

 

[tlance]

I think despite the depth issues I would have given you a solid A if you had nabbed Lamar Miller in the 6th. As is it is a B.

Go Hoos.

great looking team, on Aug 8th. Ideally, I think you should package BJGE and Decker (especially if either of them has a real good game in the first couple of weeks) and try to trade for a better RB2.

i think Floyd and Broyles will for sure be viable WR3s all year long, granted that they stay healthy. I doubt any of my $$ leagues will see Broyles make it past round 11, so great job taking advantage.
