    So i decided to do a fantasy draft for the first time on espn and heres what i got. I had the 6th pick in the draft out of 10 players :

    QB ? Tom Brady
    QB ? Marc Bulger
    QB - Ben Roethlisberger
    WR ? Steve Smith
    WR ? Terry Glenn
    WR ? Lee Evans
    WR - Isaac Bruce
    WR - Troy Williamson
    RB ? Rudi Johnson
    RB ? Chester Taylor
    TE ? Randy McMichael
    TE - Dallas Clark
    D/ST - Min. Vikings
    D/ST- Patriots
    K ? Olindo Mare
    K- Jeff Reed

    I think i need to pick up another RB.. but besides that what do you think about my draft ?

    You have a good foundation for a team with Rudi, Steve Smith, McMichael and Tom Brady, but you probably need to dump a QB and pick up another RB. I think Williamson will be good for you. Not sold on Chester Taylor yet.

    I wouldn't DROP Bulger, but I'm guessing you'll be able to trade him. Since you only have ten teams in your league, I'm guessing there's still a back out there you could get some mileage out of on waivers.

    in any real league, there will be little to no RB depth available...if you are in a traditional 1 year league and you have 3 starting RBs, then the league is really small or you are playing with morons....hes got 2 starting RB, one of which is a big time fantasy machine(Johnson, his likely #1 pick), the other a projected starter that has an uncertain future....thats a pretty standard set up....1st, figure out when your RBs byes are, and plan accordingly....grab guys that will be playing some when your RBs will not....also, look for backups that may take the job from a veteran....you have chester taylor, maybe find out whos number 2 in minnesota and hedge your bet with him....that wont help you during the bye week, but you dont want Chester to get bench and have some beat you to his backup....
