One of Snyder's co-workers opined about the 06 Draft. Always interesting to hear an outsider's view of how we do things (except in this case).
Blue Dogs - I didn't like it before, and I still don't like the Burress pick. I just don't think he'll get many 100 yard games or many tds. I think Ward would have been a better pick there (I am confused about that trade - did Hines get picked before or after you picked in the 3rd? That's really the only thing I can find beyond the Edge pick (but seeing the rules Holt was a good pick). You were placed in some tough spots and I think you did well for yourself, but you don't have a clear-cut stud running back. Luckily it seems your league devalues them in a sense and your other positions can overcome that.

Dead Beats - solid rbs, one solid wr and two half-solid wrs, no quarterback to speak of. Must be a Dallas fan to pick Bledsoe at all, much less that high.
Pimps - took LT, then took the rest of the draft off. I can't argue the names, only their positions with their respective teams. Dunn is going to split carries, and the Falcons really like their rookie rb. Driver will get yards I guess, hopefully Favre stays alive long enough to get him the ball. Guy looks like he did a lot of guessing and nose-holding while picking.
Meatballs - Mighty indeed. Not great receivers but that can be fixed on the waiver wire. He should have gone with Burleson or Bruce over Cooley, but he should be fine.
Napalm Death - Interesting picks. Could win the league, could finish dead last. Too many wild cards, not enough consistency in his picks.
Mud Dogs - Clearly took crack before the first round, but the effects wore off as the draft went on. I believe that if he doesn't win the league, he should look no further than his first round pick and what he left there as the reason why.
Bombers - good team, should make some noise.
RVG - Took Bush too high for a non-keeper league. That could bite him in the ass later.
Nine Fingers - Another Dallas fan? Took TO way too high and should be laughed out of the league for taking C-Mart at all.
Lizard Kings - If Branch plays this year, he has a great team. If not, it is merely good. I like his rbs and he fucked you by taking Anderson who could end up playing a lot.
Massacre - He is very lucky that INTs don't count against you. However I don't see many tds or 300+ games from his qbs. That will hurt him in the end.
Kanes - another good team. Great value in the middle round receiver picks.
Dragons - He could actually have 0 running backs. Should have taken Brad Johnson over Ben, but got lucky and nabbed him late anyway. Poor draft but could fall into a good team regardless.
Hit Squad - Solid team, but I wouldn't have taken most of his team in a draft, much less had all of those players on one team. Could work out anyway, but I don't know.
I'd say for next year, cut the teams to 12, add another starting RB per team. Pimps and Nine Fingers are useless aside from an entry fee. Of course, now that I have said that watch them play for the championship.

For the record, 13 out of 14 owners think this guy has no clue what he is talking about.
