Fantasy Football Draft - Take 9 (WCOFF)

This is the big one- the draft for the World Championship of Fantasy Football- a high stakes buy in with a potential first place prize of 300K.  This was my first year entering, along with a friend of mine, and the draft was this past Friday (9/10) in Vegas.  For this league, you start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WR, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D, and the draft is 20 rounds.  We had the 8th pick.

Fantasy Football Draft - Take 8 (Farm League)

My other draft on 9/8, with old work buddies.  This is a keeper league, and I was lucky enough to keep Arian Foster in the 13th round.  12 teams, starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D.  Unfortunately, our commissioner was too lazy to put the draft order on the website...  what a jerk, but my team:

Lawrence Tynes
Dallas D

2010 Fantasy Football Draft - Take 4 (RU-486)

Another day, another draft.  My fraternity draft was last night- 10 teams, starting 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 WR-RB, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D.  I had the 5 spot.  This one was online, with two of the people semi-autodrafting (with the Commish have finally approval), which led to multiple instances of them trying to draft Garrett Hartley as the next best available player and the Commish having to back out their pick and give them someone more relevant for an early round...  My team and the draft:

Joe Flacco
Frank Gore
Jahvid Best
Calvin Johnson
Miles Austin
C.J. Spiller
Jermichael Finley
David Akers
49ers Defense

Ben Rothlisberger
Montario Hardesty

2010 Fantasy Football Draft - Take 3 (Privet Road)

Miraculously, the never-ending draft has finally ended...  After starting on August 17, what was my first draft started has become my third draft completed.  Given the sporadic nature of this one, and how early it started, I could be happier with my team.  Interesting things happenend in this one, including a defense taken in the 4th round, and back to back QB picks in the 3rd and 4th for one player, as well as JR going with the always dangerous double TE for his flex... 

This one is a 12 team league, pretty standard scoring, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB-WR-TE, 1 TE, 1 D, 1 K, and I was drafting out of the 12 spot.  My team (Bone Crushers), and the rest of the draft:

Eli Manning
Deangelo Williams
Rashard Mendenhall
Michael Crabtree
Mike Sims-Walker
Knowshon Moreno
Dallas Clark
Nick Folk
Cowboys D

Dez Bryant
Michael Bush
Santonion Holmes
Chad Henne
Eddie Royal
Mohammed Massoquai

2010 Fantasy Football Draft - Take 1 (DFL)

Given my love of football and even bigger love of gambling on football, I'm in 9 fantasy football leagues, 2 pick em leagues, and 3 suicide leagues this year (so far).  Last night was my first official draft (I'm in the midst of another never-ending draft where people log in when they want to make picks, that has already taken over a week to get to the 9th round).  For this league (the DFL), 10 teams, start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 2 RB-WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D.  This one is a 16 round draft, with a crazy PPR scoring system and all types of bonuses(teams typically score over 250 points per week).  I was in the 2 spot for this draft.  Here is my team (Fat, Drunk, and Stupid), and the official draft results:

Peyton Manning
Adrian Peterson
Matt Forte
Miles Austin
Wes Welker
Mike Sims-Walker
