UPDATE II: In-Progress Dynasty League Draft
I hope you guys don't think this is getting to be overkill, but many commenters seem to be interested in this ongoing dynasty draft. So here is how it's gone so far:
1.01 Moreno, Knowshon
1.02 Wells, Chris
1.03 Brown, Donald
1.04 Crabtree, Michael
1.05 Nicks, Hakeem
1.06 Greene, Shonn (mine -- after trade)
1.07 Britt, Kenny (Drew Silva's -- whoops, with Shady McCoy on the board)
1.08 McCoy, LeSean
1.09 Harvin, Percy
1.10 Sanchez, Mark
1.11 Maclin, Jeremy
1.12 Robiskie, Brian
2.01 Heyward-Bey, Darrius
2.02 Stafford, Matthew
2.03 Brown, Andre
2.04 Coffee, Glen
2.05 Davis, James
2.06 Johnson, Gartrell
2.07 Tate, Brandon (Drew Silva's -- long-term flier pick)
2.08 Peerman, Cedric
2.09 Freeman, Josh
2.10 Jennings, Rashad
2.11 Williams, Derrick (mine -- good call Dude Abides)
2.12 Pettigrew, Brandon
I thought James Davis, who was overshadowed by C.J. Spiller at Clemson, offered good value there in the second round. I would've taken him ahead of both Coffee and Andre Brown. Jamal Lewis is nearing the end of the line.
I'm not sure about the Cedric Peerman pick. Unless the owner has inside information that the Ravens will use Le'Ron McClain as a lead blocker (his college position at Alabama) this season, Peerman is going to be a fourth-string tailback squarely on the roster bubble.
Rashad Jennings was a really, really interesting pick. Maurice Jones-Drew is definitely the guy in Jacksonville, but his backups are fullback Greg Jones and 2008 seventh-round pick Chauncey Washington. Washington isn't an NFL-caliber player, I don't think, and Jones is slower than late-career Reuben Droughns. Jennings is the complete package in terms of size-speed combo. There are questions about his toughness coming from Liberty, however.
Interesting guys left: Bears WR Juaquin Iglesias, Chiefs RB Javarris Williams, Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi, Colts WR Austin Collie, Raiders WR Louis Murphy, Dolphins QB Pat White, Bengals RB Bernard Scott, Bills TE Shawn Nelson, Giants WR Ramses Barden, Jaguars WR Mike Thomas, Steelers WR Mike Wallace, Dolphins WRs Patrick Turner and Brian Hartline, Eagles TE Cornelius Ingram, Cowboys K David Buehler. And how about Clemson QB Cullen Harper, assuming the Bills sign him this weekend.

Hopefully a IDP Dynasty mock is upcoming. I would love to see where some of these LB's would fit into this draft.

A guy in my dynasty league who is a contributor at another football site is ridiculously high on WR Ramses Barden. He could be worth a look with your next pick

Love following the Dynasty Draft!
If I had bothered to comment to your earlier posts, I would have been against the original trade as it appears too "next year" for my taste. While I wouldn't have hesitated trading two picks to move up to get an RB as you did in your 2nd trade.

Both of Silva's picks are terrible, value-wise. He need new darts to throw at his dart-board.

That's Drew Silva, by the way. A baseball guy.
Idplover - I didn't like the value of the real-life draft pick (No. 47 overall), but Michael Mitchell is going to tear it up in IDP if he wins the Raiders' starting strong safety job. No DB position in the league produced more tackles last season. Gotta love the rover behind that leaky front seven.
Also, check out his YouTube video. Mitchell bangs.

Nasty. Head hunter.

@fred: You can't really use the argument 'too "next year"' in a dynasty league unless you are in a position to dominate and win and then gut a piece of your team in order to build for next year at this year's expense. If you have starters lined up then you always need to be looking ahead. Additionally, there is a flex position in this league I think (and also in mine) and it is great as I may have a bunch of ready WRs but only 2 or 3 RBs though I would have guys in the development stage (like Jamaal Charles) and WRs that may not have many years left but are still quality now.
