Since I basically scouted everyone the first time, for this 2nd dynasty, aka the "real one," I'm not going to re-scout. I do, however think I will be red-marking guys I took the first time around. I hope that's not a competitive advantage. I apologize if it's not to the "letter of the law" of the challenge.

Now to the trades, I will attempt to get as many selections as possible in this draft, and at least 3-4 #1 picks if possible.

1.1 gets traded to the Falcons for their picks in rounds 1-5, all being the 4th selection.

3 QB's immediately go off the board, so at 1.4, I'm going to trade down again.

I trade 1.4, and the 2009/2010 #2's to the Steelers for 1.6. I will pick at 1.6 most likely.

My previous aborted dynasty, I took LT Clemons at 1.4....he's no longer there at 1.6. I think I shall trade down one more time.

I drop down to 1.10, trade that and 2 future #3's for 1.10, 2.9, 3.8

At 1.10, WR Harris Powell is still on the board. I like him quite a bit, he really seems like a no-brainer this late in the draft.

**** General Note ****
Way too many marginal QB's go in the early part of this draft.

At 1.14, I make another trade to get in the first round, trading next years #1, and 3.8 for 1.14. I take RB Tyrus Torres, a guy I had a minor man crush in my aborted dynasty. I got him around 21 last time, but I'm not risking it this time.

Marcus Danek, RDT looks like the player I can build a foundation of a 3/4 on, so leaving nothing to risk, I trade the 2010 #1(my last real bargaining chip), and 3.1 for 1.15, and 4.15. I take Danek.

At 1.17, CB Bo Grandos goes. I should have probably taken him. Not looking to risk anything else, I pick up 1.18, 4.20, 5.19, 6.18, 7.17 from the bears for 2.2, 2.9

I take OLB Leland Hammel at 1.18

In the 2nd round, I have 2.4, 2.5, I take RT Dotson and RDE Givens. They both look like solid players.

At 3.4, 3.6, I look to get a QB. Matt Walker looks good enough, Fernando Barlow LDE looks like a good pickup at 3.6

In the 4th round, I have 5 selections. 2/4/5/14/21. I will also attempt to get an extra 4th or two if possible. I still have 5/6/7 in both of the next 2 drafts.

The forth round will be "make or break" for my team. I notice immediately I need to get some secondary help, possibly a linebacker, and definitely some more linemen.

Lance Greene LT looks like a potentially solid player, he goes at 4.2
Byron Choisser LCB is a holdover from my last draft, I got him around here the last time, I decide to do so again.
