So at this point my team was pretty well set up and I wanted to grab a defense. As you can see there was a small run in the 11th, so with the 3rd pick in the 11th I decided to take the Broncos. Even with Von Miller being out for six games, I think the Broncos still have a strong defense that can cause a lot of turnovers.

I have been keeping an eye on DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans, and if he wasn’t taken before the 10th round, I wanted to grab him. If Arian Foster ends up getting hurt and Ben Tate is unable to carry the load, the Texans will be forced to air it out a little more. If Andre Johnson also becomes hurt at some point, Hopkins moves into the number 1 wide receiver role. I took him near the end of the 12th round.

I still did not have a tight end at this point, and I was debating between Jared Cook and Kyle Rudolph. I owned Cook last year and I think he has a lot of natural talent, but I don’t think things will really be much different in St.Louis. Because of my 94 point strategy, Rudolph has a higher upside to score more points per game then Cook, so I went with Rudolph.

I have listened to several podcasts this year that have preached the general concept that if you own an elite Quarterback, there is no need to have a second one on your team. The only reason to have a second QB is if your starter has some type of injury concern such as RG3. I have always drafted a second QB, but this year I wanted my bench to entirely consist of running backs and wide receivers. Tony Romo had the 8th most points in fantasy football last year, and I couldn’t pass up the value in the 14th round. If Brady gets hurt or for some reason gets in some kind of slump, I couldn’t pass up having two quarterbacks that could potentially end up in the top five. If Brady has a monster year, I could always trade Romo at some point as well.

This league also selects defensive players which I took more on feeling than anything else, but I ended up taking Sebastian Janikowski in the 16th. 

I think my final team is destined for greatness, and I am really excited to see what they can do.
