Berz, your view? I want to get people to discuss this. We have a ways to go before we get to picking backups, but its best to get this out of the way.

Seems like Berz has left the forum... doing some in depth research I bet. This mid-late 1st round is a REALLY tough choice. I'll actually be glad when Berz makes his pick because then I'll have an easier choice .

Imran, I have no strong feeling for against your idea. If you want 8 bench spots that's fine with me

I did like the 14 rounds, but wouldn't mind the 16. In other leagues, I never did carry a second D, just dropped the current and picked up one who had a bye already. That was a league that had a $1 transaction fee for each pickup, and stockpiling other players made sense.

In other words I think I agree with the smaller bench like Diss commented on above. It does add more stategy to the draft, but also will make people stay away from injury prone players, or draft stonger backups for that position.

now Jamal Lewis is drafted I can comment on him. I was seriously considering him, but he has some legal troubles. He'll probably pull thru, many NFL stars seem to amazingly escape jail time

Jeez, I'm sweating now based on Jac's picks. I usually ALWAYS go for 2 RBs in the beginning of the draft, but this time Moss was staring at me and I had to (never had a pick this late in the 1st round). I can only hope that I get one of the two RBs I'm considering for my next pick.

If Berz took Moss, I would have taken Lewis, btw .

Hehe, my research was almost entirely on looking thru google for recent news on his indictment. I'm hoping they'll put any trial off until after the season, but given such a late pick for me and the rush on RB's and given what a yardage horse he is with 1 pt per 10 yds he'll be even more valuable this year.

It was between Lewis and Moss for me

As Tuberski and Japher can attest, I was on Portis first, then Moss if Diss had taken him. Wanted to break up the RB streak, but Portis brings too much value at #9 (assuming the counter-trey still works for Gibbs).

Was on the fence with Jamal -- legal issues and very few catches, but 2K yards -- yum!

If I had taken Moss, I was locked into "best RB available" with my next pick. With a good RB in my pocket, I'll have some options.

I say no. That's not because I'm looking to get me some trade bait, but I simply don't feel the urge to go draft two positions that I'll barely use and are thus volatile that I am not willing to sacrifice possible sleepers elsewhere.
