[Rain Man]

I'll start bringing up the teams I was drafting for, starting with my own long-term team, the Duluth Pillagers. Here's our depth chart going into camp, with comments.


Duluth Pillagers - League 1


Rashard Mendenhall HB
Tim Hightower HB
Leon Washington HB
Maurice Morris HB

I like my halfbacks. I've got a good all-purpose first-stringer, a hard-running halfback, a quick third-down back, and an all-around backup.

Jerome Felton FB
Spencer Larsen FB

Two starting fullbacks. Don't know a whole lot more, but I think they're fine.

Philip Rivers QB
Ryan Fitzpatrick QB
Bruce Gradkowski QB

Big fan of my quarterbacks. I'm comfortable with my backup situation.

Hakeem Nicks WR
DeSean Jackson WR
Eddie Royal WR
Randall Cobb WR
Derrick Williams WR
Harry Douglas WR
Jeremy Horne WR

My starting guys are all small and shifty for the most part. I think Hicks and Jackson will complement each other, and Royal is a decent third receiver. I'm hoping Cobb can be my secret weapon and return man, while I've got some good all-around backups.

Greg Olsen TE
Robert Housler TE

Lacking in depth here, and waited a little too long at this position. Olsen is serviceable, and hopefully the rookie Housler will come on as my backup.

Jordan Gross LT
Alex Boone LT

Good starter, not much depth at all.

Vince Manuwai G
Jon Asamoah G
Stephen Peterman G
Kory Lichtensteiger G
Jason Pinkston G

No big-name stars, but I like them. Got some strong guards and some youth, and tons of depth with quality starters.

Ryan Kalil C
Kyle Cook C

I'm happy here. Kalil is a good young center and Cook is a fine backup.

Jeremy Trueblood RT
Ryan Harris RT
Lydon Murtha RT

Okay, this was a weird one. I drafted Harris and he got hurt. So Trueblood will come in as a starter. I drafted Murtha as a LT/RT backup, and he's out for the year. I drafted Pinkston as a rookie and he's now a starting guard. I hope Trueblood is durable.

Nick Folk K

Fine with this.

Brian Moorman P

Fine with this.

Jim Leonhard FS
Chris Prosinski FS

Leonhard is very underrated as a safety. I like the value here, and hopefully Prosinski will develop in his rookie year.

Bob Sanders SS
Reggie Smith SS

A little scary, I admit. Sanders will be good for as long as he lasts, and Smith is currently out for the short term with a minor knee injury. I could've used some more depth here.

Corey Webster CB
Rashean Mathis CB
Andre' Goodman CB
Javier Arenas CB

No stars, and I'm probably one guy short, but I like this group. Webster is young and ascending, Mathis is a pro bowl caliber guy, and Goodman is a veteran nickel with a good young dime back in Arenas. I can't afford any injuries, though.

Shaun Phillips OLB
Pat Angerer OLB
Kavell Conner OLB
Bruce Carter OLB

An interesting group. Phillips is a star, of course, and brings a pass rush. My hope is that my rookie Bruce Carter will be another star, but he's out rehabbing a knee right now. Angerer and Conner are stopgaps, but they're young and rising.

DeMeco Ryans MLB
Jameel McClain MLB

I wanted an MLB who's a run stopper, and Ryans is my guy...if he's healthy. If not, McClain will get inserted, and a Ravens linebacker is never a bad thing.

Elvis Dumervil DE
Chris Kelsay DE
Da'Quan Bowers DE
Eric Moore DE
Darryl Tapp DE
Dave Tollefson DE

Another interesting position. Dumervil is my pass-rushing end, and Kelsay is a solid DE on the other side. I'm hoping that Bowers will unseat Kelsay by the time we break camp, but we'll see.

Kevin Williams DT
Kyle Williams DT
Corey Williams DT
Peria Jerry DT
Terrell McClain DT

The Williams Wall with a spare. I invested early in two pro bowl DT's, with the goal of committing them and my MLB against the run while focusing my ends and OLBs on the pass rush. I like my DTs.
