QB - Carson Palmer
RB - Edgerrin James
RB - Duece McAllister
WR - Larry Fitzgerald
TE - Tony Gonzalez
Here is my draft in the order that I picked them in. I was in the 5th spot of a serpentine style draft of 12 teams.
RB - Willie Parker
RB - Frank Gore
QB - JAY CUTLER
WR - Matt Jones
K - Jason Elam
DEF - Washington
WR - Reggie Brown
WR - Isaac Bruce
QB - Jon Kitna
WR - Antonio Bryant
WR - Ashley Lelie
WR - Ernest Wilford
RB - Lee Suggs
RB - Najeh Davenport
WR - Keary Colbert
I have to say, I'm pretty damned thrilled with the way things went. I really think I finished strong too, especially getting the last three where I got them.

Great job hanging on to Carson Palmer and Fitz. Both will put up good/great numbers for years to come. I'm not sure about Edge, but you had to keep him. Gonzo and McAllister will have down seasons. Gonzo will have to stay in to help block more. Think back to last year when Roaf was out. Gonzo's numbers SUCKED! Plus you have to wonder how many more years he has. IMO, you should trade him. Hope for a guy like Witten or Heap who are both underrated at the moment in most fantasy circles. McMichael is another guy you can target. A little suprised you didn't go after Schef? As for McAllister, coming off injury and the addition of Reggie means he'll probably get 15 or less touches per game. Best case for him, 1000 yards and 8 TD's. Not bad numbers, but that's a best case scenario as well. More likely you'll see about 750 yards and 6 TD's... TD's could go up if they decide he's the best option in the redzone.
Moves from your draft that I really liked. Matt Jones, Antonio Bryant, Frank Gore, and Willie Parker. You managed to grab the #1 receiver for two teams, a RB in Gore that could easily put up 1000/10, and a RB for a team that runs more than anybody in the league. Willie could be good for 1300 and 8 TD's... which would be a steal for you! No Bettis will atleast give him the opportunity to compete for the short yardage/goal line touches.
Don't care for your defense. They've been over producing for a couple of years. Springs is hurting, Arrington is gone, and they can't keep getting gold out of the turds on the DL.
Overall I'd say a solid B. Strong future at RB, WR, and QB which are your money positions. Sloppy present and future at TE and Defense. And, as much as I hate to admit it, Elam is no longer a top 5 fantasy kicker.
