Final (for now) Football Draft

My last league is a 12 man league I'm in with a few friends and friends of friends. I had 8th pick and once again went for the WR-WR draft. This league has a WR/RB flex spot instead of a third WR.
1.(8)Larry Fitzgerald
2.(17)Calvin Johnson
3.(32)Ryan Grant
4.(41)Kevin Smith
5.(56)Darren McFadden
6.(65)Matt Ryan
7.(80)Kevin Walter
8.(89)Chicago
9.(104)Matt Cassel
10.(113)Donald Brown
11.(128)Chester Taylor
12.(137)Domenik Hixon
13.(152)Jerious Norwood
14.(161)Nate Kaeding
15.(176)Randy McMichael
As you can see, it paid off again with two quality RBs in rounds 3 and 4. I know have Kevin Smith on all 3 teams, haha. I think I waited too late on the TE, as Kevin Boss went a few picks before I was ready to snag him, but I keep hearing the Rams offense has improved and Randy should benefit slightly from that. Matt Cassel was an awful pick up, I knew he was hurt and I need a Qb to fill in week 4. Cassel will be less than adequate at that time. Shaun Hill is on waivers, and once waivers clears I think I'm gonna make the swamp. Hixon will become Chris Henry too, Hixon has had a bad camp and preseason and Henry is a super sleeper in my book. Solid backups fill up the bench, which is something I tried to focus on doing this year.

Speaking of Chris Henry...I was OFFERED this deal in my 2nd league. Greg Jennings AND Tory Holt for just Chris Henry. I'm stupefied. I accepted in a heartbeat, but I decided to drop my backup TE Zach Miller, who is the best passing option on the Raiders. Hopefully I can reclaim him if/when Winslow gets hurt. The trade is pending review from the league, and I highly doubt that it will pass, but if it does I have no doubt that I will finish top 2 going into the playoffs.
