Now, to understand a bit more about my draft strategy, these are some of the alternate rules that the league follows:

TD passes only worth 4 pts, and only 1 pt is awarded for every 20 yds passing-a 300 yd passing game alone only gets you 15 pts-these combine to de-value QBs

Receptions are worth 1 pt-this puts a premium on receivers and backs who catch the ball

So, here's my team, with round and pick in that round:

Ahman Green-1.10
Eric Moulds-2.8 (My 4th-ranked receiver)

Eddie George-3.3 (Steal! He looks great)

Hines Ward-3.10 (Another steal! Looks great, had over 100 catches and led the AFC WR in TDs last season)

Todd Heap-5.3 (Wow! What a steal!)

Troy Brown-6.8 (People laid off him because he didn't have great numbers last year-but he missed a few games and underperformed in a few games due to injury-and he's healthy now!)

Eagles D-7.3 (A little early, but they were my 2nd-ranked D and with the Bucs already off the board and plenty of QBs left, I went for it)

Chad Pennington-8.8 (Another steal...check out his TD to INT ratio!)

Charles Rogers-9.3 (Maybe a reach, but my good friend is a master at picking what rookies and youngsters will stand out-and he tagged Rogers-said he won't do much early, but will break out in the last 3/4 of the season...and he's only depth)

David Akers-9.10 (Best K period...I took the first K-this is a good spot for one)

So, that's my roster thus far. A solid starting QB, Green starting at RB with George as a BACKUP, Moulds and Ward as my star starting WRs, with Brown a solid #3 starting WR, and a stud auxilliary cast of Heap, Philly D and Akers (guess I'll have to root for Philly now!)

Thoughts?

Dude, this sucks. This really, REALLY REEEEEEAAAAALLLY sucks. But guess what? It ain't the end of the world. And I'll tell you why.

I already planned to pick Bulger or Lefty in the 16th. Are they starting QBs? No, so they won't help me right off, but there is potential there.

Next, there are several QBs I have my eye on for the 13th or 14th round. Doug Johnson's still on the board. There's also Kitna, who had a strong 2nd half, Brunell, who still may have some in the tank, Brad Johnson, who's solid but not flashy, Boller, who may impress but I won't count too heavily on it, etc.

Oh, and btw, the real reason I'm pizzed but not scared is because of my 11th round pick. Didn't post that one yet. The guy just 'happened' to be my 15th round...yes, I said 15th round, pick last year, and I just 'happened' to start him in roughly half of my games last year instead of Favre, and I 'happened' to win the Super Bowl and 400 big ones. Yeah, I nabbed Tom Brady in the 11th round this year. You can annoint me Mr. GM now!!!

Seriously, I'm not as upset by this as I would be if Ahman Green or Eric Moulds went down. Also, though, don't think for an instant I'm downplaying this. It's going to hurt, and hurt BAD. I'm hoping for a positive post-surgery report.
