Well be cutting this year's draft tight.

Local is a 12 team PPR performance redrafter. Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 DF, 2 FLEX (only 1 can be RB).

I had the 1.09 spot ... draft started out normal enough

1.01 - LT
1.02 - AP
1.03 - SJax
1.04 - Westbrook
1.05 - Addai
1.06 - Randy Moss

The next two picks were questionable (especially 1.07)

1.07 - Tony Romo
1.08 - Marion Barber - nice RB but not a 1st rounder

1.09 - Terrell Owens
I knew that we'd be into tier 2/3 RBs and I really wanted Randy Moss here, but our local WR ho-ho took him at 1.06. That left me considering TO, Wayne or AJ. Decided to give TO a try. So TO was the THIRD Cowboy in a row drafted in the 1st round and IMO the only true 1st rounder.

2,04 - Marshawn Lynch
I was all prepared to take another WR at this spot as I thought the last of the tier 2 RBs would be off the board. But both Tom Brady and Peyton Manningwere selected between my picks. I might have considered Reggie Wayne at this spot be he was already gone. I gave some consideration to AJohnson and Braylon Edwards but I decided I had to take the last tier 2 RB ... and the last RB not facing RBBC.

3.09 - Steve Smith
Okay he's dropped this far because of the 2 game suspension. Without the 2 game suspension he is one of the top 3 or 4 WRs taken. I can't pass him here even though I will have to wait out the first two weeks of the season.

4,04 - Santonio Holmes
I was hoping Roy Williams would fall to me at this spot but he was taken 3 picks earlier. I never really considered a RB like Reggie Bush, Earnest Graham or Selvin Young at this spot as I felt the WR was still the bigger bang for the buck. The guy that drafted directly in front of me was trying to decide between Holmes and FWP and made the wrong decision IMO.

5.09 - Brandon Jacobs
I was targeting Earnest Graham here but he fell 2 spots earlier. Had Roddy White fallen this far I might have taken him. I would also have taken Witten here but he fell about 8 picks earlier. So that left me considering Jacobs, Thomas Jones, LenDale White, Bowe, Maroney or Ricky Williams. Seemed like Jacobs was the clear cut choice.

6.04 - Donovan McNabb
Both McNabb and Garrard are the last of the tier 2 QBs. I would almost always wait on QB but decided I'd take McNabb here. I think McNabb will be a solid fantasy starter this year.

7.09 - Jonathan Stewart
I think he will supplant DeAngelo this year and I liked his value here.

8.04 - Anthony Gonzalez
At this point I only had 3 WRs with one of them being suspended the first 2 games. I need a 3rd WR but what is on the board isn't all that attractive. I rolled the dice here that Gonazalez will be more of a factor that Marvin in Indy.

9.09 - Zach Miller
Okay so I waited a loooooooong time to get a TE and this is what I get. I could have drafted Miller, McMichael, LJ Smith, or Watson. I decided I liked Miller's upside the best.

10.04 - Fred Taylor
I'm not sure why he is still on the board in the 10th round. Even with MJD Fred gets his carries. Heck MJD seems to help Fred as he has tended to stay healthier when he doesn't have to carry the entire load. I was happy to land Fred here.

11.09 - Felix Jones
Felix is likely to get some work this year and could surprise, especially if MB III gets hurt.

12.04 - Eli Manning
I can't believe I took another QB before drafting my defense. But there it is ... I did. I strongly considered Schaub and Kitna here but finally decided to go with Eli because I perceived that Eli has a softer passing schedule.

13.09 - Philadelphia
Okay I waited a loooooong time to take a defense and the top ones are off the board. I'm hoping that the special teams play can make this a workable pick.

14.04 - Indianapolis Colts
I thought about a lot of other defenses here ... TEN and JAX top of the list. I want two defenses so I can play matchups as I'm worried about the strength of this position on my team.

15.09 -Rob Bironas
I need a kicker

16.04 - LaMont Jordan
Last round flyer. Maybe Maroney gets hurt and Jordan gets the rock.

All in all I am pleased with my team.

Pretty good looking team. I like Stewart this year.
Not a fan of Jacobs though. I most likely would've gone a different direction at rb there but that's personal preference.
Why two d's? I think it would've been better to take a flyer on a rb/wr for a few weeks.

Damn good lookin team Blitz, as long as your #2 RB sorts itsself out. I just dont see Jacobs putting up real good numbers, especially for a PPR league. WR corps looks top notch and I think McNabb being healthy he will have a very good year.
This team could take you all the way if the FF injury gods are kind.
