Draft Day!
...is over. Man, it was quick. I don't even remember who I selected. I better recap and make sure I don't have a stinkin' New England Patriot on my team:
- Frank Gore (RB, SF) - With his hand unbroken by the first week, he's going to go grape ape this year with an improved 49ers offense.
- Carson Palmer (QB, Cincy) - I'm shocked that I physically could select a Bengal player with his Arena League quality uniform, but I'll root for him this season with my eyes closed.
- Edgerrin James (RB, AZ) - He'll put up great numbers like 2005...because missing out on a Super Bowl championship by one year has got to make anyone bitter. (He used to be a Colt.)
- Andre Johnson (WR, Houston) - He's practically the only real offensive threat on the Texans so Matt Schaub will get the ball to him a lot.
- Calvin Johnson (WR, Detroit) - The rookie from Ga Tech will make an instant impact. It can't get any worse in Detroit, can it?
- Tony Gonzalez (TE, KC) - The musical-chair QB situation in KC means that short dump offs to the TE is a given all season long.
- Vincent Jackson (WR, SD) - Someone's got to be the #1 receiver when LT's not scoring touchdowns. This guy is it.
- Ahman Green (RB, Houston) - With two starting RBs in the top 10 of most fantasy lists, I only plan to use Green in bye weeks.
- Denver (DEF) - Confession: this pick was my way of drafting Champ Bailey since I couldn't draft individual defensive players. I probably didn't need to explain that.
- Mark Clayton (WR, Baltimore) - I'm going to give him some starts depending on the schedule. McNair likes to air it out and Clayton is the Raven's deep threat.
- J.P. Losman (QB, Buffalo) - He's the best QB no one's heard of.
- Jeff Wilkins (K, St. Louis) - Who? Only one of the top 5 kickers in the league, which means crap in fantasy football.
- Randy McMichael (TE, St. Louis) - He's a top 5 TE and I got him in this late round. I guess it shows how much no one pays attention to this position.
- Josh Scobee (K, Jacksonville) - I admit it. I picked him for his name. Skoh-BEE. Awesome.
- Minnesota (DEF) - Some mock drafts had this defense highly rated. Obviously no one I'm playing against saw these drafts.
Whew. I'm Patriot-free. I'm actually very happy with all my picks, especially my pseudo Champ Bailey one. Woo hoo. Are you ready for some football? I'm ready for some Champ!
