Rate my team A-F. I like to be critiqued on another play I should have taken or what not. This league is PPR and QB td's are worth 6 points, everything else is the same. I had the #1 pick and this is the order I drafted these players.

1. AARON RODGERS

2. JIMMY GRAHAM

3. RODDY WHITE

4. TRENT RICHARDSON

5. DARREN SPROLES

6. DWAYNE BOWE

7. JEREMY MACLIN

8. MICHAEL BUSH

9. JAHVID BEST

10. REGGIE WAYNE

11. TITUS YOUNG

12. TOBY GERHART HOPING AP DOESN'T LAST THE SEASON

13.JACOB TAMME

14. MARK SANCHEZ

15. PACKERS D

16. DAN BAILEY

I think what hurts your team is no studs at RB, even though I like Sproles. Risky business having to take Richardson as your top back ending round 4. Like your receivers even with the Bowe outcome still pending. gl this year.

Grade: C

I saw Rodgers has your QB and got excited but then was all down hill from there.

I think drafting Rodgers with your #1 pick was a good pick. But if you are drafting a QB in the first round, taking a TE with your #2 pick is a disasterous decision.

C-

first pick was solid getting rodgers. Your receivers are decent IMO and you really don't have a strong RB. I like taking risks on rookies, but I could not pull the trigger on Trent. Team is average at best, but could look good if Richardson and Sprolles both have studly years.

This is a beast squad. You have arguably the best QB and best RB in football last year, in Rodgers and Sproles, and Jimmy Graham might be tied for best TE in football. Trent Richardson will probably have a solid season and your receiving corp are pretty good. Is this a ten team league? There is an awfully good ammount of depth on this team.

You are an injury or two away from bust. That is what I think a lot of people don't realize when rating these teams. People on your team will go down and you have to have contingencies in place for when they do.

You have a fair chance of making the playoffs, but probably not a contender for the title. All in all it looks like a good first draft. Get Mark Sanchez out of there though.

Yes this was my first draft of the season...very small money league. I will try and change it up next draft. Thanks for your insight I understand what some of you are saying. My reasoning for not taking a solid rb in rounds 2 or 3 was because the best backs left were mcfadden peterson and charles. I really wanted forte or welker but they were gone so for PPR I decided to go graham and roddy white. The best players in my opinion left for those draft rounds and not injury prone.

Team is a A+ not sure what you guys are talking about. This is a PPR league. However im trying to figure out how you get Rodgers, Graham, Sproles all could be first round picks in this format. Must be a 8 team league with not so bright managers.

McFadden might have been the one to take being as you chose Rodgers as a solid #1 pick and had a long wait for your 4th selection. Kinda stunned that both White and JG made it back to you and hard to pass on. gl

Depends on how many teams in league. I'm guessing this is a small league (8 teams or 10) given that Sproles was in the 5th round. Or else you are playing with idiots...

If 12-team PPR league, this is a B+ to A-.
