Where We Picked Them and Why We Got Them

Round Player Position Comments
1 Larry Johnson RB

He's the runaway best fantasy prospect. Easy choice.

2 Warrick Dunn RB

The running backs will be too depleted by the next set of picks. Have to get a second here.

3 Rueben Droughns RB

Since I don't pick until the end of the 4th I can't afford not to take a running back here.

4 Randy Moss WR

The run on receivers is on. Moss is a great value that I would have taken late in the 3rd round.

5 Plaxico Burress WR

Picking up another of my top-10 wide receivers feels great since I did it while also getting running backs with my first 3 picks.

6 Matt Hasselbeck QB

I like getting a stud QB in the 6th, especially since I don't have to make a distinction between this and my next pick.

7 Fred Taylor RB

Fred's still out there and has some serious potential if he stays healthy. As a 4th back I have no problem taking that chance.

8 Nate Burleson WR

Still a little light at wideout so taking a number 1 here is a good fit.

9 Greg Jones RB

Fred is an injury worry and Jones is a really solid backup. Has a lot of value as a handcuff.

10 Isaac Bruce WR

Bruce is a solid wideout now that they're likely to have a balanced attack and a healthy Bulger. I love him as a #4.

11 Heath Miller TE

Need a tight end at this point. Miller is a solid option given their style of offense.

12 Jeff Wilkins KI

Pleasantly surprised that my top kicker is still available. It's time to fill that spot.

13 Tony Fisher RB

Running back insurance is a good idea given a lack of other truly compelling options.

14 New York Giants Defense DT

Need to go ahead and grab a defense before I'm getting left-overs.

15 Dallas Clark TE

I'm expecting Clark to bounce back and have a standout year. He'll be my number one if that's the case. If not, he's safely on my bench as my backup.

16 Chris Simms QB

Gruden has a way with quarterbacks and the fact that he's locked in on one with this kind of heritage gives me some confidence. Simms is one of my big sleepers of the season.

17 Ashley Lelie WR

Lelie is a decent wide receiver who hasn't quite met expectations. He's still a quality receiver though and has upside.

18 New England Defense DT

This is a steal. Probably one of the most solid possible late round picks, giving me my #5 and #7 ranked defenses to play match ups with.

19 Michael Vick QB

In past years, Vick's potential has caused people to draft him as a starter time after time. It hasn't worked out but the potential is still there. Perfect as my #3 option.

20 Jason Hanson KI

Backing up your kicker is often a gut pick. He may be the Rackers of this season as they'll move the ball just enough to get in range.
