2007 Fantasy Football Draft round 4

Round 4

Pick # Player Rank Position My Thoughts

31	Marques Colston	57	WR	reach
32	Antonio Gates	18	TE	good value here for Gates
33	Anquan Boldin	60	WR	reach
34	T.J. Houshmandzadeh	49	WR	what?
35	Andre Johnson	75	WR	love this draft
36	Deion Branch	107	WR	really really love this draft
37	Donald Driver	52	WR	thank god for miracles
38	Javon Walker	37	WR	see notes below
39	Donovan McNabb	44	QB	damn it
40	Plaxico Burress	47	WR	16th WR drafted

McNabb is here for me, which I had said I would draft him if he was. The worst thing starts happening in this round in that it became a WR round right when I still needed to draft a second one. When I look at my sheets for players left, only a few good wide receivers are left on the board. I cannot believe the guys that were taken before Javon Walker here. Just reach after reach after reach. He is the best value on the board left, I have to take him.

Once Donovan goes, I know that there are only 3 of us drafters that do not have QB's, and I have noted who they are. I suggest that after the third round you start writing down which drafters have drafted which players, and what they need out of the big 3 positions, QB, RB,and WR. It is pretty easy to see who will be drafting what next when you do this. It can really help make your decision process very easy. Having 15 picks in-between really makes this easy to do.

Out of the handful of quarterbacks that are left, many of them are essentially the same player. I know I can stock up on other skill players and grab two of these QB's very easily much later in the draft.

I also take note that again, Clinton Portis is still on the board, and no running backs were taken at all in this round. I am sitting with 2 RBs and 2 WR, and I know that I am not taking a QB for a while. I will get my last WR and TE in the next couple of rounds.
