It’s a final. As I stated in one of yesterday’s entries,
the fantasy football draft was last night for the Uncle Jimmy’s league, and I
am not sure what I can say about it. I
can’t say I left the draft in love with my team, but I don’t think it is
god-awful either. I had the dubious
distinction of being 12th, out of 12 teams. I don’t want to make that sound all bad,
unlike drafts in regular sports leagues, fantasy drafts are different in that
the draft snakes, every other round you reverse the drafting order. So while I would pick dead last in round 1, I
would pick 1st in the second round.
In essence I would get back to back picks, I would just have a lot of
time (and a lot of players leaving the draft board) between my back to back
selections.
As for what I
ended up putting together, well, it looks something like this;

What I probably
like most out of that bunch is the wide receiver trio of Fitzgerald, Welker and
Walllace, what I don’t like is the depth at wide receiver and I am pretty
nervous about pinning my hopes on the rushing ability of DeMarco Murray. But that is what the finished product looks
like. Of course after the draft I was
asked once again if I would like to be treasurer of the league, because we are
playing for cash this year ($50 entry fee) and I have handled that role in the past
(including last year). Don’t really want
to do that job, but I know I will end up doing it anyway, just because if I don’t
then it leaves the league scrambling at the last minute to find one. Oh well, far worse fates have befallen far
better men.
Anyway, that is
what the team looks like, feel free to cheer them on, or root against them if
you like, I am sure I will be posting updates throughout the season to let you
know how I am doing, if I have a shot at winning money or if my entry fee is
just a donation to someone else’s wallet.
