> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mrchan \* > \*\*"3rd place: hustler. The top QB, the top WR, and a solid group of RB (I actually like Barlow to replace Hearst this year). Not enough depth though. I was intrigued by pls reset because of Portis and Owens, but some iffy depth there, and no QB. I don’t think you could win this year with Warner or Maddox or whatever crap is left leading your team. " > > How can I have the top QB and no QB, hehe. thanks for the praise tho. yeah my RB depth isnt so good but barber put up decent numbers and i’m counting on barlow becoming the feature back. if the niners draft a RB consider hearst off the team. \*\* I’m **pls reset** , the guy with no QB. However, I feel there is plenty of talent out there at QB. Plus, I seem to remember beating down a certain team Og, with a team full of RBs and lowly Steve McNair under center. A top QB is overrated, and history shows that injuries happen, and QBs emerge during the year. Plus, the bargaining power of a stable of RBs is priceless. ---

Munch’s Booya pick. Driver still on the board around pick # 60? GREAT value there. I would have taken him in a heartbeat if I didnt already have 3 WRs. My pick is up. I’ll have it in 5 or 10. ---

I also think Koren Robsinson was a great pick by hustler this late. I would have grabbed him were he still available. I think he easily outshines Djax this year. ---

**neuroman** you surprised me, I didn’t think you’d take a 2nd QB. I’d have been pretty happy to get Favre this late, I almost took him with both of my previous picks. ---

Also, FCDoA – I’ll bet my next paycheck (well, maybe not…but I feel very good) that Gardner will outperfrom Coles in Spurrierland this year. Garden knows the system and the QB. Coles knows neither. ---

damn you mouthbreather. Last year WAS a fluke. Oh hell, Can I take a mulligan? That was a crappy pick. ---

Sorry, Nurse? You talking about Warner being a fluke, and Duce being a crappy pic? I don’t think Duce is bad here. I worry about Correll Buckhalter with Duce but according to my board was one of the three top RBs left. ---

You’re up in the other draft, NC. ---

I had Duce predrafted too. Wonder if we’ve got the same three RBs in mind, **mb**. ---

I like the Chad Johnson pick but it might have been a tad early… still a few WRs left I’d have ranked above him. ---

IMO the only other RBs worth anything at all at pittman and a. thomas. ---

I took the ATrain. It was between him and one other guy (not Pittman, who is a total turd and want no part of him), I pretty much just flipped a coin. I think the guy on the other side of y coin will provide decent #s, and one there’s one other guy I have my eye on as a boom/bust type. ---

Oh, and excuse my crappy math. That was pick 68, not 76 as I indicated in my notes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-all-fantasy-football-refugees/152768.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/calling-all-fantasy-football-refugees/152768.md?page=9)
