Justice League Team Previews

While this certainly wasn't the smoothest draft I've ever been a part of, at least it finished quickly right? Sure there were some issues with the auto-picking and my mess up with the tight ends, but all's well that ends well they say. As an apology, here are some team previews. That or I'm just really excited for football. Oh and if you didn't have a team name, I just named you. So some of the names are unofficial obviously.

1. Canadian Bacon (Adam)
With the first overall pick, Adam took all of a minute and a half to cue up Chris Johnson. It looks like the token Canadians in the league will swing for the fences with home run hitters like Johnson, DeSean Jackson, Steve Smith, Johnny Knox, and Jacoby Jones. They have Jahvid Best and Michael Bush (injured) in the backfield but until one of them steps up, this team will run and shoot, with his venerable highness Brett Favre at the helm.

3. Fobulous (Jimmy)
It was hard to decide which player to take at #3 but UCLA alum Jimmy selected bowling ball running back Maurice Jones-Drew. He'll have another LA college product by his side in Reggie Bush but if rookies CJ Spiller or Kareem Huggins start their careers off right, Bush could be relegated to the bench. We rather like Fobulus' air attack of QB Joe Flacco and WRs Calvin Johnson, Marques Colston, Joey Galloway, and the rookie Mike Williams. You know, the non-bust one.

5. Gangsta Wangsta (Victor)
Despite frantically racing home due to not knowing the draft time was changed, Victor's squad should be quite solid with yardage machine Steven Jackson leading the way. In a PPR league, Brandon Marshall could be a superstar, and fellow receivers Steve Smith and Donald Driver have seen better days but they are still quite productive. The big question here is at the quarterback position. Are Matthew Stafford or Kyle Orton enough?

7. Howler Monkeys (Brian)
The team that stole Drew Brees out from under me. The Howler Monkeys are actually a little light in the personnel department for Brees to throw to. Percy Harvin is the number one here but he might be in and out with migraines, Dez Bryant is a rookie and Austin Collie and Eddie Royal might not be productive right away. The backfield is steady though, with Ryan Grant, LeSean McCoy, Justin Forsett, Steve Slation, and Larry Johnson.

9. Tom Brady is Hot (Olivia)
QB Aaron Rodgers is being touted as a NFL MVP after his outstanding season last year -- and was highly coveted by Olivia. The question is if Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, Braylon Edwards -- and eventually Sydney Rice -- are up to the task fantasy wise. There are certainly lots of good RBs on this roster: Cedric Benson, Jonathan Stewart, Felix Jones, Clinton Portis, and Willis McGahee. We smell a possible trade if the receivers don't pan out.

11. Kings of Convenience (Oliver)
This is a team ready to run and shoot behind QB Tony Romo, who might be a steal in RD3. He'll have plenty to players ready to catch his passes, starting with Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne on the outside and in the slot, and then TEs Dallas Clark and Jason Witten as safety valves. Someone will have to emerge from the three headed backfield trio of Ricky Williams, Kevin Smith, and Tim Hightower though. Or maybe it'll be Keiland Williams. Who? I dunno either.

13. Snake Eyes (Ryan)
Charger fans love Ryan Mathews and Razor Ryan's no exception as he took Mathews at the top of the second round. If the Bolt rookie falters, there's a stable of so-so running backs behind him: Matt Forte, Ahmad Bradshaw, Correll Buckhalter, and Marshawn Lynch. It looks like it's Mathews or bust! With all world Petyon Manning pacing the passing attack, you only need a few steady WRs and that's what Ryan drafted with Chad Ochocinco, Steve Breaston, Tony Gonzalez, and Visanthe Shiancoe. None of them will be stars but they'll be quite serviceable.
