Rate this team 1-10?

Question

Bye week in ()
ESPN standard scoring (basically same as Yahoo!)
8 teams

QB - Kitna (6), Leinart (8)
RB - L. Johnson (8), Maroney (10), Benson (9), Jones-Drew (4), T. Henry (6), Turner (7)
WR - Fitzgerald (8), Houshmanzadeh (5), Colston (4), Evans (6), J. Walker (6)
TE - Winslow (7)
K - Gould (9)
D/ST - Raiders (5)

To clear up some comments on the selection of players, Brees and Manning were taken in the 1st round (8th and 3rd, respectively), so when I picked at 4 I couldn't get Manning. Then Palmer went in rd 2 and Brady followed him. Then I decided that most teams were going to waste picks on mid tier QBs when they could have a higher tier QB. This is why I got Henry in round 6. I plan on trading him and my other backs and receivers for a top QB, when 1/2 the owners realize that they have no depth at RB or when the RBs start to get injured.

Answer 1

I'd give you an 8 at this point, and I only cut that from a nine because I think you're lacking a top-tier quarterback.

Your depth at both RB and WR, though, should allow you to deal for a Brady-Brees type. I think you could package Henry or Benson with Housh or Evans to get a top QB, and that would still leave you with great depth at those positions. In that case, you'd have a 9 bordering on 10.

Answer 2

For a draft of 8 managers, your team is very disappointing. After getting Johnson, Maroney, and Benson there was no need to go after Jones-Drew and Henry while waiting for Kitna at QB and the Raiders Def. However, with 8 teams you can just use the best available defense for every week (checking matchups)

Answer 3

7

You lack depth at the QB position though I still think Leinart will surprise people. You have excellent depth at RB and at WR (I am interested to see if Colston was a fluke or the real deal). You could go a little stronger on the defense though.

Unfortunately a team with great depth at QB will beat a team with great depth at RB and/or WR 9 out of 10 times.

Package a couple of guys for a top tier QB and youll be hard to stop!

Answer 4

Ill say 9, and that is because your team is pretty solid except at QB, but with the depth you have elsewhere, you should be ok. (Not that Kitna is a slouch, just not a top 7 producer at QB). You should be in the hunt come playoff time. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I say 6.....that defense really pulls your team down. You have good QBs, good RBs, and OK WRs as a group. Great kicker because the bears offense can't score , so gould will get a lot of field goal oppurtunities this year

Answer 6

i like the rb and wr not so much the qbs nice k and a ok d/st

i would give it a 8

Answer 7

8 need newqb's and defense
