My re-draft every year team, called "Belichick's Three Rings" is looking bad even before the draft because I made a bad draft choice trade - gonna have to bail myself out with a strong draft.
My keeper team is OK :
QB - Rivers & Campbell
RB - Maroney & Cadillac
WR - S. Moss, Stallworth, J. Porter
K - Gostkowski
I would like to add that my team is a keeper with 8 teams and I am thinking about moving Tomlinson in a deal for Maroney and Marques Colston among others. But I am going to make an offer to another club that might net me Steven Jackson and Torry Holt

No. You never trade Tomlinson.

If you're stuck with Green, I'd try to pick up his handcuff Jackson. Jackson might even start is what I hear. Your starting receivers are incredible though.

Unless you are getting Steven Jackson and Torry Holt.
My team:
QB Carson Palmer
(Cin - QB) QBBN Bal Mon
QB Jay Cutler
(Den - QB) QBBN @Buf Sun
WR Andre Johnson
(Hou - WR) WRW/RBN KC Sun
WR Calvin Johnson
(Det - WR) WRW/RBN @Oak Sun
RB Brian Westbrook
(Phi - RB) RBW/RBN @GB Sun
RB Travis Henry
(Den - RB) RBW/RBN @Buf Sun
TE Alge Crumpler
(Atl - TE) TEBN @Min Sun
W/R Carnell Williams
(TB - RB) RBW/RBN @Sea Sun
BN Joey Galloway
(TB - WR) WRW/RBN @Sea Sun
BN Santana Moss
(Was - WR) WRW/RBN Mia Sun
BN Warrick Dunn
(Atl - RB) RBW/RBN @Min Sun
BN Jeff Garcia
(TB - QB) QBBN @Sea Sun
BN Bernard Berrian
(Chi - WR) WRW/RBN @SD Sun
K Jason Elam
(Den - K) KBN @Buf Sun
D Denver defense
My only worry is whether or not Calvin Johnson will have an explosive rookie year.
If not I think Galloway can hold the fort.
I am also banking on Cutler having a comeout year.
My league runs 2 QBs.
If Cadillac Williams has a bounceback year I could have a dominant 3 RB set.

The rest of my team will be filled out later this month at the draft.
Regards,
Chris
I guess I can't edit this long after the original post, so here's what I have after my draft yesterday (one keeper, drafting from 11th spot (out of 12), starters in bold):
There was an insane early run on QBs (5 were keepers and a 6th was picked in round 1!), which allowed me to get a leg up with MJD as my first pick and bone up on WRs IMO, but left me with Cutler as a 9th round pickup. We changed our scoring this year to be close to standard scoring while in past years QBs were huge, so I think this is why QBs were overvalued by my leaguemates. I'm hoping they'll regret their decision to weigh QBs so highly as if we were playing by last year's rules.
i'm the commish of our money league: eight ppl, but a ton of starting positions
starters:2 qb, 3 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 wr/rb, 1 wr/te, 1 def, 1 k, 1 dl, 1 db, 1 d
two years ago i acquired: tomlinson, larry johnson, shaun alexander (the top three overall scorers)
that went along with carolina (number two def), gates (number one te), anquan boldin, torry holt, housh, djack, ocho cinco, carson palmer (number two qb or one cant remember), steve mcnair, ronnie brown, david garrard (had leftwich and bulger-who was number two when he went down with inj that yr), jamal lewis, jamie martin, samie parker, koren robinson, jeremy stevens, new englands def, pitts def, jay feely, champ bailey, zach thomas, jonathan vilma
needless to say i won it all
and by a very large margin
last year i lost in the semis but had the best team by far:
qb: carson palmer
qb: vince young
qb: david garrard
qb: matt hasselbeck
qb: matt leinart
wr: housh
wr: ocho cinco
wr: andre johnson
wr: steve smith (yeah i know four amazing wrs but andre and smith did **** for me down the stretch)
wr: ronald curry
wr: jurivicius
rb: frank gore
rb: steven jackson
rb: ladell betts (had portis)
rb: chester taylor
rb: ron dayne
rb: sammy morris!
rb: cedric houston
te: colston (had gates, but traded him for colston who was te eligible last yr)
k: rackers
def: da bears
def: kc (matchup reason in the consolation game after chicago totally screwed me in the semis)
dl: london fletcher-baker
dl: demeco ryans
db: asante
nobody got 300 points all yr
230 usuallly wins week to week
i got about 160 in the semis
about 310 in the consolation game
needless to say i was angry
so, very top heavy, not great depth
never how my teams start
i always have the most trrades, cuz i always have the best depth
i trade my depth for top players when certain managers are in dire need of a position where i'm deep in
so, here's my team this yr:
qb: carson palmer (again lol, and didnt even plan on it, was planning on taking westbrook but he went two picks earlier)
qb: donovan mcnabb
qb: jason campbell
qb: byron leftwich (again, although you didnt see it since he's always hurt and i always pick up garrard)
qb: damon huard
wr: marques colston (very high on him this year, look at his stats pre ankle injury)
wr: braylon edwards
wr: reggie brown
wr: calvin johnson
wr: dj hackett
wr: devery henderson
wr: james jones (has been nasty this preseason, dropped wes welker for him)
rb: frank gore again!!! so pumped, had to trade up for him
rb: maurice jones-drew (ppr league, with one point per reception)
rb: marshawn lynch
rb: clinton portis
rb: deangelo williams
rb: tatum bell
rb: brandon jackson
rb: chris brown (yes eight running backs-part of my strategy this yr, released brandon jones for him)
te: kellen winslow
k: none yet
def: philly
def: jax
db: kerry rhodes
dl: patrick willis
d: none yet
so, i've been trying to get a trade done so i can fill those empty spots, to no avail
ppl are starting to get scared of trading with me after (well, here are some examples):
i traded cadillac and dom davis for larry johnson in his breakout yr
i traded bulger and rudi johnson in a deal for steven jackson last yr
i traded lee evans, julius jones, big ben for shaun alexander in his record breaking yr (three team)
and the list goes on and on
i feel pretty good about my team this yr, except some injuries and poor performance this preseason have made me a lil nervous:
hackett has not done very well
colston and henderson have missed a couple games
lynch hasnt played very well
calvin has aready hit the rookie wall
campbell is hurt
leftwich hasnt played well
still i feel pretty good
i went with unproven wrs this year, after i was burned by big names last yr, we'll see how that pans out
all along i planned on taking rbs in the first three rounds and mcnabb and young early
i was flustered when westbrook was gone and i really really thought he would be there
all along i told myself i would take bush if westbrook was in fact gone, but for some reason i couldnt pull the trigger and went with palmer
im still not sure how i feel about it
having palmer and mcnabb in a league where the top qbs are really separated is huge
gore and mjd in a ppr league is huge
im high on winslow
and very high on reg brown and braylon (third yr wideouts!!!)
already ive attempted trying to trade for: vince young, reggie bush, brian westbrook, larry johnson, brandon jacobs, cedric benson, vernon davis, greg jennings, but none were closer than laurence maroney and steve smith
i was extremely close to getting one of those guys (who are both owned by my dad)
the maroney offer was:
portis, huard or campbell, and dev henderson
the s smith offer was:
calvin johnson, huard, chris brown
both would give me the best player in the respective deal, and allow me to pick up a kicker and dl
of course its a mott point since it was ultimately turned down
although he seemed pretty close to accepting the maroney deal
and very close on the smith one
