I love having a solid pair of RBs, so starting with the 11th and 14th overall picks was ideal for me. Cadillac shouldn’t have fallen that far, but I was happy to scoop him up and grab the soon-to-rebound Kevin Jones in the 2nd round. Gates was an easy pick in the 3rd, as was the undervalued Darrell Jackson in the 4th. I wanted to get my three starting LBs in rounds 5-10, and Davis, June, and Farrior were all great values. Beyond that, my strategy was to take top-5 players at S, CB, and DT earlier than others expected. Consequently, I ended up with excellent, low-risk starters at all positions, which completely fortified my defense. DE is always a deep position, so I waited and still got Grant and Kerney – two top-5 players in 2004. My roster isn’t flashy, but it’s as balanced and deep as it could be.

What name do you want in the print version?

Jake Richmond is fine.
