We briefly lost the internet connection and the system made an auto pick for me at RB/Knowshon Moreno. I was so pissed! Our league is also using entire defenses as well IDP. I drafted late in the first.

Offense:

QB Philip Rivers (2/16)
RB Pierre Thomas (1/9)
RB CJ Spiller (3/33)
RB Knowsho Moreno (autopick 5/57) this is also a flex position
TE Chris Cooley (4/40)
WR Braylon Edwards via trade for Robert Mecham (7/81)
WR Santan Moss (6/64)

Defense:

Pittsburgh (8/88)

IDP

Terrell Suggs
DeAngelo Hall
DeMarcus Ware
Dwight Freeney

K - Robbie Gould

Back-ups:

Donovan McNabb
Eddie Royal
Tashard Choice
Brian Westbrooks (19/225)
Shaun Ellis
Adrian Wilson

Definitely need more RB depth. Moreno is not 100% healthy. Choice is in a 3-way RBBC and "Westbrooks" won't be much of an impact for fantasy purposes.

I'd cut your IDP backups for another RB. See if someone like Hightower, Sproles, Donald Brown or another RB who has a vulnerable starter ahead of him, just to bolster your RB depth.

You're solid at QB and RB.

WR looks good. "Santan" Moss, Edwards, Royal are solid...but you need another one on the bench. I'd get another one for that other IDP backup or see if you could trade Choice for a good WR.

I never like carrying more than 1 IDP backup, if any at all. Wasted roster position and there are always good defensive players available if you have to plug someone else in for injury or bye weeks.
