The league draft was held early Sunday with Team About Football cashing in with the following roster:
Quarterbacks:
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay
Josh Freeman, Tampa Bay
Cam Newton, Carolina
Running Backs:
Chris Johnson, Tennessee
Peyton Hills, Cleveland
Fred Jackson, Buffalo
Wide Receivers:
Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis
Lee Evans, Baltimore
James Jones, Green Bay
Devin Hester, Chicago
Tight End:
Jermichael Finley, Green Bay
Defenses:
Green Bay
Philadelphia
NY Giants
At this point, I'm a little thin at wide receiver, could use another solid running back, and have just one tight end. But with three elite defenses, I've got some trade bait to work with. I've also got my eye on sleepers at each of those position. All in all I feel like I came away from the draft in a very solid position.
Good luck to the rest of the field.
