Mock Auction Draft Results

We haven't even reached the MLB All-Star Break and my thoughts are already turning to fantasy football. I am not alone, and was joined by nine other fanatics last night, as we conducted our first mock auction draft.
 
Each team was given $200 to draft a 14-man roster that included 2 QB, 3 RB, 3 RE, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (RB, WR or TE), 1 PK, 1 TDSP and 2 RES.
 
Although it is early, this should give you a sense as to which players are valued most. Let me know what you think. Who were the bargains? Who overpaid to get their guy? Which team is strongest? Which is the weakest?
