The first round is always pretty easy. I went with my best available running back.

Was glad to see people had a different opinion of Westbrook.

It's always rough in the third round because there are some studs at other positions. Given the dedicated RB picking I have to stay the course.

The fact that a run on WR's is starting and my #1 is available I'm just pumped.

He's likely to provide a serious advantage over other tight ends and as a result has a higher value then a mid-second tier receiver.

Can't risk dropping from one of my top-5 rated QB's into the low teens.

The easy picks are gone now. Can't go with another QB or TE, and the WR's aren't that impressive. Addai has some serious potential.

Taking the Patriot's number one receiver provides a solid #2 receiver. Especially since he ended up as the 15th best receiver last year.

With a healthy o-line their passing numbers across the board should go up. This means good things for their #1.

It's not too early to get my top pick at a position. They start every week and add more value than a 5th stringer.

Given what he did last year when given the chance he has huge upside. Especially since there are some durability questions about Jones.

Definitely need some more wide receiver help. Took the best available despite the trade talks.

Given that people aren't sure about Westbrook's durability, Moats seems like a good backup option to have

While I have some other needs, I like having a Martz directed quarterback in my back pocket and I don't think he'll be there next time around.

The development of Manning could turn into the resurgence of Toomer. Needed a receiver here.

Backing up my tight end with another of my top ten tight ends is nice. This pick was motivated by the fact that he was the only top-10 player (non-defense) available.

Akers has traditionally been one of the top-tier kickers and has fallen as a result of last year's injury. He could very well return to the top-5. Plus, needed to have a kicker and only a couple were left that I would be comfortable with as day 1 starters.

I guess a little wreck drops your fantasy stock quite a bit. Only a good pick as a #3. These are value picks since most of my bases are basically covered.

Buffalo dropped a long way since 2004. But if you recall many had them atop their board last preseason. Probably won't need them with Carolina on my roster but could be a pleasant surprise.

Finishing off with a backup kicker, Janikowski may be the benefactor of a high-octane offense (if they can get rolling).
