????????????????

I probably should not have expected otherwise with some of these picks as this draft has gone in waves and this was clearly the WR wave. Rice going at the 4.8 spot is surprising & I think shows the knowledge base in my league that he is going that high. When you look at the WR’s, you can notice that 5 went in a row & left very little for me at the 5.10 slot….except that I thought Holmes could drop. I thought surely Holmes would not drop this low, but then went Marshall, then Bryant, and even Grandmama (Larry Johnson) went.

The disappointment was immense when I saw Holmes go at 5.9 and left me with the following options:

RB:
Addai
Brown
Ward
Felix Jones

WR:
Evans
Ward
Cotchery
Berrian
Moore

The hardest part here was picking who I deemed top two on the list, who were either Addai/Brown or Evans and can lead me on another topic of discussion. The topic would be the fact that I would either end up with 3 Colts or 2 Colts/2 Bills. Certain players have perspectives on whether or not they want these combos or not & how this impacts their pick selection. For me, I had to go with Evans, who was one of the last of the tier 3 WR’s (in my rankings), but now leaves me with 2 Colts & 2 Bills. They better have good offenses…..
