Here it is...my team

First, thanks for the help yesterday. We had the draft last night and here is what I ended up with picking #7. As I said yesterday, I have a partner who doesn't know very much about FF. Some of the picks he wanted were plain old nuts & I wouldn't make them, others I caved in and gave him. My comments on my thinking are included.Please feel free to add yours.
RB Jamal Lewis-went with the advice here, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
RB Corey Dillon-Best avail, should have a good year on a new team.
QB Matt Hasselbeck-A little early for QB, but top receivers gone and partner wanted QB. Vick, Manning and Culpepper already gone.
WR Joe Horn-Best receiver avail, I do like him though.
RB Deshaun Foster-I know, too early, but I went with mu gut on this one. I think he will get a lot of carries and a lot of yards, even if Davis is healthy and if Davis goes down..watch out! I really wanted this one & knew that the guy who took Davis was going to get him if I waited.
WR Keyshawn Johnson-Back with Bill & Vinny...could be big.
TE Randy McMichael-I know Miami sucks, but I needed a TE and decided to take a shot.
DEF Balt-had them last season and they were the difference in a few of the weeks.
WR Joey Galloway-With Mcardell holing out, he could end up big.
WR Peter Warrick-Partner wanted this one, I don't know much about him, probably won't be used much.
QB Jake Delhome-Good backup
K Olindo Mare-Figure that he won't get too many extra point opportunities but may get a lot of long field goals. Have I said that Miami sucks? (I am a Dolphin fan)
RB Antwain Smith-Good numbers last seaon part time, should do well, and he is my 4th RB
TE Jason Whitten-Partner picked, don't even know the guy.
DEF Tenn Def-backup only for the Balt bye week.
K Jay Feely-Why not? Another backup.
RB Musa Smith-If Lewis goes down or the legal situation becomes a problem, I have his backup.
QB Philip Rivers-Partner insisted on this one. Won't see the light of day in my lineup. If he does well, maybe can be used in a trade with someone who needs a QB.
WR Antonio Bryant-Best left at this point.
TE Dallas Clark-see above.

QBs:
Nice job here. Hasselbeck is a great starter, and Delhomme is a nice backup. If this is a keeper league, then Rivers doesn't hurt.
RB's:
Lewis and Dillon make a nice RB tandem. Way to early for Foster. Musa was a smart pick. Not sure about A. Smith, unless Brown falters, he's worthless.
WR's:
Keyshawn and Galloway may pan out for you behind Horn. Warrick is hurt, but isn't a bad #4.
TE's:
Three of them? Not really necessary. I'd drop one and try to get some more WR depth.
K:
I'd start Feely over Mare in a heart beat. Miami isn't going to score many points at all, Atlanta will.
D:
Balt and Tenn, nice tandem.
How many teams in this league? If there is 12 or less, there has to be better receivers sitting on the waiver wire right now. Other than that, not bad Yankeegirl (FYI, Thurman Munson was my here growing up)

Nice jobe YG! There's one flaw/tendency on draft day that I have to keep myself from succumbing to, which is trying to fill all the positions on a roster. Every year I find myself thinking, "I gotta get a TE here" in the 6th-7th round, when in fact, there's a ton of value in the late rounds at that position. It looks like that's about the only problem with your draft, as evidenced by the McMichael pick in the 7th. Dallas Clark was still there for you in the last round, and he's projecting a very nice season, overtaking Pollard as Manning's safety valve.
You might want to peek at the WRs taken immediately after that pick to see "what could've been". Then again, I'm a confessed masochist 
But hey! I'm nitpicking, overall, a solid draft! 
RB
Well done with 1st 2 picks.  Foster a reach/gamble. Musa a smart handcuff. ASmith is most likely not seeing much more than a few 3rd down change-of-pace opportunities and may be expendable.
WR
Horn is a good pick. If you get return yds/pts Warrick is a nice value in the 10th. Me-Shawn is a decent #2 if Vinny is at QB. But definitely agree with others here, more depth is needed. Don't like Bryant cuz you can never start both Me-Shawn and Bryant
QB
Hasselbeck is a solid QB. Other value may have existed at this pick, and certainly QBs close to this value would've been available later, but can't argue too much with this one. Delhomme is a decent bye week fill-in. Find a Charger homer to dump Rivers off on though.
TE
As above, RMich was a reach, but DClark where you got him. Try to dump Witten for a 3rd WR (on his respective depth chart) out there that may have a chance to move into a starting role.
K&D/ST
Solid kickers, and you even waited until the 12th to get one, very nice job there. Hard to argue with Balt in the 8th too. They should be top a 5 D and that's about the right spot, though I've seen them go as early as the 4th-5th more often than not in drafts this year.
Welcome to the GridIron, look forward to you're participation throughout the year! 
GO VIKES!
