The friend league draft is complete. I’m working on putting together a work league, but it doesn’t seem to be panning out; too many nerds <img src=”http://www.iammike.org/cutenews/data/emoticons/wink.gif”/><br/><br/>This year, we decided to make it a keeper league. We’ll hold onto two players after the season, which will be in lieu of our draft picks from their round +2 (a guy I kept from the 3rd round this year eats my 1st round pick next year). I chose a VERY young team with this in mind. <br/><br/>Out of the hat, I got the 2nd spot in the draft. Normally, I hate being on the end, but I’ve never drafted so early/had a guaranteed good player. I didn’t want Chris Johnson because historically nobody has a good season after running as much as he did last year… so AP fell into my lap… I can’t complain.<br/><br/>This league is 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1W/R, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF so you really need a lot of wide-outs.<br/><br/>Overall, the draft seemed really shallow. We all agreed that after the 5th round or so, there were very few players of interest remaining.<br/><br/>As you’ll see, I took A LOT of gambles, but I also drafted pretty smart with not picking a QB until late (unless you get one of the top 2, they’re all the same), and the same with the tight-end and kicker position (I have yet to even get a kicker… will wait to see if anyone gets injured in the preseason).<br/><ol><li>Adrian Peterson (RB)</li><li>DeSean Jackson (WR) – Hoping he has the same chemisty with Kolb as he did with McNabb.<br/></li><li>Greg Jennings (WR) – I see a huge year.<br/></li><li>Michael Crabtree (WR) – Huge gamble.</li><li>Arian Foster (RB) – Huge gamble.</li><li>Vincent Jackson (WR) – Huge gamble.<br/></li><li>Kevin Kolb (QB) – This was actually an auto-pick. I ran out of time. I wanted Flacco or McNabb, and I could have gotten them much later, but it could have been a lot worse than Kolb.</li><li>Jets (DEF) – This goes against everything I stand for. I typically get a new DEF every week depending on their matchup, but I was really disinterested in all the remaining players.</li><li>Jerome Harrison (RB)</li><li>Visanthe Shiancoe (TE) – Really happy with getting him this late.</li><li>Josh Cribbs (WR) – Huge potential upside. David was really angry I took him.<br/></li><li>Donnie Avery (WR)</li><li>Sam Bradford (QB) – Yes I did. Keeper league. Could be a dirt cheap keeper next year.</li><li>Chris Chambers (WR) – I’ve had him a few times. Nobody respects him.<br/></li><li>Todd Heap (TE) – Always good to keep solid TEs off the waivers.<br/></li><li>Vince Young (QB) – Assuming Bradford doesn’t do squat this year.</li></ol>Thoughts? Overall, I feel pretty good. I have a lot of gambles, but I also have a lot of sure things in case they don’t pan out.<br/><br/>In Week 1, I’m predicted to put up SOLID numbers and win without even adding a kicker. <img src=”http://www.iammike.org/cutenews/data/emoticons/smiley.gif”/><br/>
