01. NYJets
Probably not an obvious choice to be the best ranked team, but Jets has almost the perfect mix of solid players, depth, and sleepers. My only real concern here is what injuries or suspensions could do to this team. Of course, if my aunt was a man, she'd (or he'd) be my uncle. Basically, I didn't do the rankings completely based on 'if'.

02. Power Puppies
Again, another pretty solid team from top to bottom. Turner (nice cuff too with Norwood)and Romo will probably be a bit down this year, but they are still Top 5 players at their positions. And if they don't fall off a bit this year, watch out! I love the WR depth and if we learned anything from last year, we know that WRs have become just about as important as RBs. I don't have any major concerns with this team and I'd be surprised if this team wasn't hanging in there come championship time.

03. Black19
I won't say much about my team except that I couldn't have scripted it any better. I did several mocks from the 6th position and none of them came out as strong as this one did. My only regret was not getting a chance to be a homer. Maybe I'll drop Britt for Kelly or Thomas.

04. Onetwo
Im expecting Carson to have a 'Comeback Player'-type year, Jackson to actually live up to the hype, and dont get me started on Elam! OK, just kidding about Elam. I like WRs except for the Crabtree question mark. Contract aside, I'm still not sold on how much he'll actually produce in SF. I'm also not as high on Moreno but I love Ward. Now I dont think this team has championship aspirations but I do think it has the ability to bring it every week.

05. Porky
The sky is the limit on this team. Barring a Ryan slump and injuries to Portis or Jacobs this team could really be a top 3 team. The problem for me is that there is a glut of 2nd tier guys on here and a ton of high cieling guys. If any of these guys dont live up to their sleeper or dependable status, then it could easily turn in to a very long season. Not the good kind either. Plus Porky lost a rank for taking Portis from me.

06. CuBuffs
Cubs has a pretty good team but in my opinion, it's a little too speculative. The strength here is really at WR. I like Schaub but more as a number 2 due to his injury history. If he stays healthy, this team could end up in the upper third of of the league. The RBs are a little questionable but McFadden should turn out to be a bargain of a pick and I'd actually expect Jones to end up being the #2 after a few weeks.

07. Bowl of Rice
So I don't know whats more surprising; me ranking Jets as the best team or my ranking the guy who had probably the best first 3 picks in the draft so low. The problem is that the latter half of the draft (where you actually make or break your team) was questionably, starting with the Lynch pick. Of course, this team has the talent to blow out every other team on any given week (Warner, Peterson, Jennings, White) but I have a feeling it may disappoint.

08. Da Bek
This team really only has the benefit of being the best of the auto draft teams. It's completely possible that this team does a hell of a lot better since it does have a solid player at every position, but I don't like the depth at RB at all. Good news is that Bek has essentially 2 open roster spots since he's carrying 2 DEF & TE so he'll immediately be able to make a few quick moves and pick up some sleepers, a bunch of whom are still available.

09. Plugs
Of all the teams I ranked, Plugs' has the most amount of the P word, potential. There is a solid core of players here in Brees, Williams, and Grant but I'm not very ecstatic about the WRs and overall depth. However, the WRs could easily turn out to be the sweet spot of this team since Chad should benefit from a healthy Palmer, Moore was surprising last year (and dont forget the QB/WR cuff), and Jackson is primed for a stellar year. It may take the perfect storm for this team to go far but I would look past him.

10. cdobry
Here's yet another team that suffers from a lack of depth beyond a solid core of players. Im never a fan of only carrying 3 RBs on a team and the fact that the third guy is RBBC/fullback really concerns me. However, like a few other teams this one will have a great deal of ups and downs and will need some crafty wire work to solidify itself.

11. Kevman
Captain auto draft strikes again. Now I know Im only solidifying Kev's legacy by taking it for granted, but I think his streak of championships & top 3 finishes comes to a halt this year. If it were 2 years ago, this team would look light years better with Brady, Gore, and Westbrook. The WRs though are very sketchy and will require attention. Of course, Kev will make a few moves and improve the team and I know he'll prove me wrong and finish somewhere near the top again.

12. bbbtalb0
Im 100% positive that this is not the worst team in the league. Here's my problem though: after Johnson, there is no proven stud on this team. There is no dependable, week in/week out guy who is going to put up points. Rodgers will surely turn into that guy, Johnson could be that guy, but I think he'll be down this year, and Gonzalez is a year or 2 removed from being that guy. Brady fell into one of the draft no-no's which is the "if you don't have it, keep drafting it" rule. 6 RBs on this roster but there is still not much to show for it. Sure, there are a lot of guys that could be surprises this year but we only start 2 a week and the 6 roster spots took a lot away from the depth overall.
