I just completed a live draft and OH BOY it was something to witness. I have to pick 9th so I am always up for that challenge because 90% of us will not pick 1st! Last year I picked 9th and won the ESPN Superbowl (Championship game)! So if you have to draft that late you just have to change your strategy a little. In todays draft the first pick overall was Reggie Wayne! WTF!!! I am sure he would have been there at 12 when the guy had to pick again. Then I got this Fancy Pants guy who just had to put in his 2 cents. I must say he had a pretty decent team. Although its hard to screw up since the system CAN pick your team for you! Based on how the Fantasy Forcasters rank the players the system will select players for you if you run out of time. (30 sec in per pick in ESPN) Here are our teams.
His team........................................My Team
Tom Brady.......................................Matt Schaub
Michael Turner..................................Ray Rice
Pierre Thomas...................................Cedric Benson
Anquan Bolden...................................Jamall Charles
Randy Moss......................................Roddy White
Desean Jackson..................................Michael Crabtree
Brent Celek.....................................Jason Witten
San Diego Defense...............................Baltimore Ravens
Garrent Huntley.................................Ryan Longwell
Vincent Jackson.................................Justin Forsett
Reggie Bush.....................................Mike Wallace
Fred Jackson....................................Darren McFadden
Thomas Jones....................................Kevin Kolb
Donnald Brown...................................Earley Ducett
Johnny Knox.....................................49ers Defense
The only thing I don't like about his team is he has too many New Orlean Saints players for my taste. Luckily their Bye week comes late in the season (week 10) or he would have had to Bench several players in 1 week. I'm sure he would never have Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas active at the same time...right? But the others are ok. Brady to Moss that could be great pairing...if Moss doesn't take plays off. I wanted Fred Jackson for myself but he got him first so that works out. I know some people would question my 2nd Defense. To my Defense (no pun intended) the 49ers will have a good D this year, plus it's not a reach if its the last round of the draft. Now the Justin Forsett and Darren McFadden maybe considered "Reaches." Remember, I have 3 of the top running backs from last year. This year both Forsett and McFadden are due for a break out season. Last year I picked Chris Johnson late. Ahh You see what he did.
