Because I can't remember who I had on my team. Sorry. Where did we hide the final-day rosters again?

Cheers Boo, just waiting for his lordship to stop laughing at Horn's #2 pick and choose his own.

Gonzo's going to tear it up this season, Horn won't regret that.

E sent, Mr Boo.
But not the big square/little square/cardboard box variety.

Wow. #2 surprised me more than a little. It's very much a "best of a bad bunch" pick. Both my quarterbacks are mediocre, there's no benefit to keeping either of them when they or someone of similar quality will be available in the 3rd through 5th round. My running backs are a mess. There's no guarantee Earnest Graham will start this season, and Marshawn Lynch is a) suspended the first four weeks and b) won't be tearing up trees when he does get to play. If I can grab him in the 5th round to stash on the bench I'll be happy, but there's no way he should be going any earlier than that even in a keeper league. Gonzo's a starting wideout for the Indianapolis Colts. That gives him plenty of value even if he were a middle-of-the-road stiff, which he isn't. He's also young, so he's useful as a potential keeper. I'm not thrilled about it, but absolutely ensuring I've got Pointing Manning's primary target in my team now and for the forseeable future is the least bad option I've got available. I'm rubbish at this game.

I can see why you took him, I was just expecting you to take Eli and going WR with your first pick. I honestly have no idea who s1ut will go for though, I think Chris Johnson and MJD are probably gimmes, but having to choose from Boldin, Gates or Gonzo is tough. I'd lean towards Boldin, but that means freeing up Gates....
I'm rubbish at this too, BTW. I think the only non-rubbish one amongst us is Elth. But I'm pretty sire he knows that already.

It boiled down to this:
Assuming I go RB/RB for my first two picks which I'll probably have to, will I be able to get a QB as good as Eli Manning in the third round? Almost definitely. He's a pretty bog-average fatnasty starter, especially without Plaxico Burress.
Will I be able to get a WR as good as Anthony Gonzalez? Maybe. Probably not. Like I say, I'm not thrilled about it but I've pretty much painted myself into a corner. This might turn out to be a rebuilding year for me.
Tough call between Boldin and Gates. Especially with the lingering worry about Gates' ankle.

I'm just pleased that Favre is staying retired so that I can jump for T-Jack without hesitation again.

I think the Bairn needs to sign up for this - it doesn't appear that his Toronto team is in the list yet.
He picks last, so at our speed he has until about March.

Right OK, I'll tell him to get his ample backside in gear.

Have sent him message, he'll get on it asap.

No worries fella, but you've been docked your 5th round pick and Hornet also acquires Terrell Owens, because he loves him.

You probably won't want him because he's not bye week 6....
