A 20 team league? Wow. The most I've ever seen is 12. Considering I've never drafted in a league with that many teams, I can't give an accurate assessment, but I'll try anyway :-P . I would have shied away from Moss, given last season (BTW, did TN find a new QB yet?), as well as Jones and maybe Steward as starters (depending on who was open during those picks) because of the multi-RB system that their teams seem to use. Turner and Rice are solid picks (assuming the Vikes have a half-decent QB this year), Cutler is decent, and Gronkowski should be OK provided Woodhead doesn't steal his catches. I really like pretty much everyone on your bench as sleeper picks, except maybe Westbrook, especially Newton and McCoy. I generally don't draft 3QBs, but I wouldn't think too hard about drafting both of those guys.

No. Free agents can talk to teams and reach preliminary agreements as of today, but can't sign until (I believe) Friday.

I know in ESPN mock auction drafts (everyone starts with $200 to fill their 16 roster slots) his projected value is something like $46, but people I've drafted with are paying up to $65+ for him. I imagine that means in regular snake drafts that he's going in the bottom of the 1st/top of the 2nd round at the latest instead of at pick 24-30 like projected.

Woooo for ESPN,
His avg. pick is 7.1. That ranks him the number 6 player over all and the number 2 QB. That number is a +0.7 within the last seven days.
So he is around the 7th pick on average.
Marion Barber is leaveing the Cowboys.

rice is going to seatle with T. Jackson Wow. So Rogers is still going before Vick? That's surprising. I know that Barber got released, but where is he going now? Bush to Florida, hmm? Are the 'Phins still holding onto Ronnie and Ricky? If not, I see Bush exploding again this year. It's a pity that Rice is stuck with T. Jack again, especially in Seattle. I guess he won't be worth anything this year.

Rogers avg. pick is 6.0 vick is 6.8 From the leagues that i drafted it is pretty much a coin flip on which one gets picked first and that one usually goes top 5 and the other goes like bottom of the first round or so.  Except for that one league i just drafted which was really weird. QB's went early and often. Turner got picked before all the top backs did. It was really weird. Lots of odd picks in that one.     . Ronnie and Ricky are reportedly not wanted by the phins. They going with the rookie as #1 and bush as #2. The other Qb Seatle has is not much better.

"The Philadelphia Eagles have traded Kolb to the Arizona Cardinals for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick in 2012." What?!? Why would you trade DRC, your best CB, AND a 2nd round pick for him? I mean, I know they're hurting for a QB, but they just sacrificed their defense. Breaston is with the Chiefs, too. Now Fitzgerald is the only good receiver the Cards have. Chad Johnson... erm... "Ochocinco..." landed with the Patriots. I think Brady's ADP is going to go up soon. Donovan went to Minnesota. V. Jack is staying with SD, Holmes is staying put, and it looks like Gradkowski is going to be competing to take Palmer's former spot (if the rookie screws up). DeSean Jackson is holding out now, too, so Vick might be hurting for targets beginning of this season.

Daniel Thomas. DeSean Jackson can hold out all he wants, I would be ok with that.  What does V. Jack have against Sd Anyway  Hmmm they think Kolb gives them the best chance to win the div? Why did Seattle let their relationship with hassalhoff fall apart? The team is like what 41M under the cap? they probable could a ford to pay him.

Orton is staying is Denver. Dang. The Raiders just don't have anyone anymore. Who's their QB now that Gradkowski's gone? So much for this being Tebow's year. That's OK. It'll be nice to see Brandon Lloyd be a top-10 receiver again.

It'll be nice to see Brandon Lloyd be a top-10 receiver again. Jason Campbell BTW John Beck is the QB in Washington. Jul 25 QB John Beck tried to enter the team's facility minutes after the new labor deal was announced, but was turned away by a security guard who didn't know who he was, according to The Washington Post. Beck, who will likely open training camp as favorite to be the starting quarterback and wanted to meet with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, was told players couldn't report until Tuesday. Beck is expected to compete with Rex Grossman, unless the Redskins bring in another quarterback. "I'm OK with that," Beck said of not being recognized by the guard. "I haven't done anything yet."
