Leaving TO off of your ballot is insane. He should be in without question.

You only have 5 slots, so someone is going to get their feelings hurt. Just look at the QBs for example. I would say that 6 of those 7 should be in without a doubt ( Bledsoe being iffy IMHO). The damn OL group is insane!! A LOT of guys there deserving.

Overall, I really wanted to take eight or nine. I took Boselli over Faneca. Bad form!

I could have taken over half my allotment from the OL.

@TerryP I wanted to take both Andersons, but I wanted a QB, so I took Simms.
