Pred's Fantasy Football Forums - View Single Post - 1/2 way through, who's had the best draft so far?

I think the Predators were the Predators (ie, they came in and added more talent to an already talented team). The Toxic Waste addressed their biggest need with a potential stud in William Green, although I am puzzled by the trading down). The Undead may have mortgaged next year a bit, but they grabbed quality this year and ended up moving up and grabbing a player that the Predators wanted. The Opihi added a Top 3 RB and a WR that should be solid this year and for years to come. The Ragers added depth at one of the toughest positions with 2 guys that could be seeing significant playing time by midseason. The Insects also grabbed to RB's though both will probably take a little while to see much time, they both have the talent to be players for years to come.

All that being said, as long as we can vote for ourselves I am voting for me. I know a lot of this is subjective but I like the fact that both Gaffney and Shockey should be able to contribute this year. I know some were not sold on Shockey but the combination of this price and potential made it too hard to pass up. I am also not a huge fan of Florida players but Gaffney has the talent and should have a good chance to start. On a team with only one WR this seemed like a good pick for this year. To be honest I am most happy with grabbing two first rounders for next year. I had a very tough time once we got outside of the Top 10 picks this year deciding who was worth taking. However, the 2003 draft is projected to have 4 QB's go in round one and a very good number of high quality WR's.
