HAFFL Draft Report.

(Sorry my update has taken so long, but I've been working a lot of OT lately.)



Well, here is the roster for the 2006 New York Icons:

QB Eli Manning (NYG)

QB Kurt Warner (Ariz)

QB Matt Leinart (Ariz)

RB Larry Johnson (KC)

RB Dominick Rhodes (Ind)

RB Joseph Addai (Ind)

RB Laurence Maroney (NE)

RB Michael Bennett (KC)

WR Randy Moss (Oak)

WR Torry Holt (StL)

WR Chris Chambers (Mia)

WR Keyshawn Johnson (Car)

WR Mark Clayton (Bal)

WR Braylon Edwards (Clev)

TE Vernon Davis (SF)

TE Kellen Winslow (Clev)

K Sebastian Janikowski (Oak)

K Olindo Mare (Mia)

D Washington Redskins

D Kansas City Chiefs

Not bad if I do say so myself. At first glance I think I'll be going with a one RB, four WR lineup (or "run and shoot") until one of my Colt RBs starts outplaying the other or until Cory Dillon goes down to injury, opening up an opportunity for Maroney to be the featured back in New England.

I got the quarterback I wanted in Eli and got a potential top five backup in Warner so I feel confident in my quarterbacks to start. Matt Leinart provides Kurt Warner insurance and depending on how much he DOES play, could be a suprise keeper for next year.

Yes, I decided on Larry Johnson over LT. Something told me at the last second that had to take the chance. I pray he will be the big point scorer he was last year. My depth at running back may not be the most solid, but I think I got good value out of Rhodes, Addai, and Maroney. (6th, 7th, and 10th rounds respectively.)

I am thrilled about my wide recieving corp! Randy Moss, Torry Holt, and Chris Chambers could all be top ten recievers this year. Keyshawn should be a solid fourth reciever and both Clayton and Edwards could have big sophmore seasons. Hell, if Edwards gets healthy he could be a 14th round steal. Strangely enough, WR was the only skill position (other than kicker) that I didn't take a rookie in.

I'll have more about the draft later this week and thoughts about the IFFL draft coming up this weekend! Seeeya!
