Fantasy Football Draft - League #2

This post is nearly two weeks late...but better late than never.

The draft for my second fantasy football league, which I was present for, was conducted on the evening of Thursday, August 28th. It's a 10-team league with the usual serpentine draft order, and for only the second time in my life, I got the first overall pick, and here's the team I ended up with:

1. (1) LaDainian Tomlinson RB SD
2. (20) Andre Johnson WR HOU*
3. (21) Braylon Edwards WR CLE
4. (40) Drew Brees QB NO
5. (41) Michael Turner RB ATL
6. (60) Ben Roethlisberger QB PIT
7. (61) Tony Gonzalez TE KC
8. (80) Anthony Gonzalez WR IND
9. (81) San Diego DEF
10. (100) Matt Forte RB CHI
11. (101) Nate Burleson WR SEA
12. (120) Adam Vinatieri K IND*
13. (121) Drew Bennett WR TEN
14. (140) Deuce McAllister RB NO
15. (141) Jerry Porter WR JAX
16. (160) Indianapolis DEF

* These players were autodrafted at times when I took too long to make my decision, for whatever reason.

(We start 1 QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR flex position, 1 kicker, 1 DEF.)

All things considered, I don't think it came out so bad...but in my experience, I win with the waiver wire more than I do with the draft, so we'll see how it all goes.

Fantasy Football Draft - League #1

I unknowingly missed the draft for one of my two fantasy football leagues and got retarded autodraft results (although, to be fair, I hadn't ranked my players beforehand). I picked 9th out of 12 teams in a serpentine draft, and here's what I ended up with:

1. (9) Randy Moss WR NE
2. (16) Reggie Wayne WR Ind
3. (33) Marques Colston WR NO
4. (40) Earnest Graham RB TB
5. (57) Ronnie Brown RB Mia
6. (64) Chris Cooley TE Was
7. (81) Marc Bulger QB StL
8. (88) Pittsburgh DEF
9. (105) Josh Scobee K Jac
10. (112) Kevin Smith RB Atl
11. (129) Benjamin Watson TE NE
12. (136) Aaron Rodgers QB GB
13. (153) Tennessee DEF
14. (160) Mark Clayton WR Bal
15. (177) Deion Branch WR Sea

(We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF. No flex positions.)

I am the defending champion in this league, and I have no intention of relinquishing the title, so it's time to do what I do best...hawk over the waiver wire! My other league, another Yahoo! one, drafts Thursday evening, and I WILL be ready for that one.
