Fantasy Draft #2

I ended up with pick 6th of 8 in my second fantasy draft of the season. Here is a list that breakdowns the picks and decisions:

(Note): This is the first time EVER I have gone RB-RB in the 1st-2nd round; I guess I will see how it works out for me.

1. Joseph Addai: I've never had him on one of my fantasy teams before. Brady was gone, and Addai was the best value available.
2. Ryan Grant: Same as above, the best value available.
3. Reggie Wayne: The best receiver available; it is hard to go wrong with a WR on the colts starting lineup.
4. Braylon Edwards: I was really surprised he was still here at this pick. This might have been my best pick of the draft. I know someone took a worse receiver with Edwards still on the board. I'll edit back if I can remember who the WR was taken.
5. Carson Palmer: I didn't want him in this spot, but everyone was taking QBs really early in this draft. If I didn't grab Palmer, I was going to be left with Favre or McNabb, which I am not too high on this year. I could have ended up with even worse than McNabb if other players decided to grab backups and block me from any of the above-average QB.
6. Jason Witten: Someone took Antonio Gates right before me on this pick, and I was really excited about it. I have Gates ranked 3rd overall on my TE board. I have a feeling he will be week-to-week this entire season.
7. Steve Smith: He was being avoided like the plague. I know he is suspended the first 2 games of the season, but who else do they have to throw to? DJ Hackett? I think not. Carolina should have went after Shockey.
8. Titans D - Go Titans!

Now in random order (All bench except for kicker):
Ricky Williams
Micheal Turner
Dwayne Bowe
Shayne Graham
David Garrard
Anthony Gonzalez
Tony Schefller
Chris Perry

At the end of it, I really liked this draft. I didn't get the best RB, WR, or QB; I think I have the best overall at each position after averages are taken into consideration. There might be 1 or 2 other teams that are excessively strong though. Among benches, mine is insanely strong compared to others. 3 starting RB on the bench!
