With the draft now complete, I wanted to give my favorite picks in each round. I swear I was modest.
Round 16 - 4th and Goal - Fred Taylor - Usually underrated, a solid last round pick
Round 15 - Zoo Tycoons - Bernard Berrian - supposed to be a key in the "hot pick" offense
Round 14 - I Miss Aaron Rowand - Seattle - always have a favorable schedule
Round 13 - Cumming From Behind - Chester Taylor - if anything happens to Petersen...
Round 12 - Kevinexorable - Michael Turner - someone has to score on Atlanta's team, right?
Round 11 - Me - Laurence Maroney - if nothing else, good trade bait
Round 10 - Wicked Weasels - Santana Moss - fairly consistent from one season to another
Round 9 - I Miss Aaron Rowand - Darren McFadden - reports from training camp have been great, remember what AP did last year?
Round 8 - Zoo Tycoons - Jake Delhomme - last year was an off-year, with more weapons and the way the NFC South changes so much he could be due for a big year
Round 7 - Kevinexorable - Santonio Holmes - should continue to improve and take over as Pitt's #1 go-to guy
Round 6 - Canadian Beasters - Willie Parker - I don't think injuries will be an issue
Round 5 - Me - Matt Hasselbeck - overlooked nationally, not as flashy but consistent
Round 4 - Cumming From Behind - Brandon Marshall - despite being out for 2 weeks, he will be top 2 among the other 7 WRs drafted this round
Round 3 - Cumming From Behind - Ben Roethlisberger - not too many questions about him this year
Round 2 - Kevinexorable - Reggie Wayne - least amount of doubt compared to all other WRs drafted that round (Moss, TO, Edwards)
Round 1 - push - the round went pretty much as expected except for 1 slot
Here's how it all shakes out...
4th and Goal - 1
Wicked Weasels - 1
Canadian Beasters - 1
I Miss Aaron Rowand - 2
Zoo Tycoons - 2
Me - 2
Kevinexorable - 3
Cumming from Behind - 3
After looking at everyone's team, I have to give Kevin credit. We have turned mocking his past teams into a pasttime and I am sure it can't be fun to watch his roster turn into the injury report. I really like his wide receivers and his running backs are solid (if Gore works out for you, I'll be pissed). I have to rip you for drafting Vince Young though. He had almost TWICE as many INTs as TDs!!!
I like a lot of Mike's picks, but I think you chose a 2004 fantasy team in some cases (Warner, Holt, Driver, Williams, Shockey). You have to let me know how you got that championship belt to show up on your team helmet.

I am not a fan of how I drafted, because a lot of my picks were "had to" picks to fill needs, not necessarily guys I wanted.
I would have loved Wayne, but Kevin took him one spot before me, so I had to settle with Edwards.
I would have loved Cutler, but Amber took him two spots before I was going to.
I would have loved Dallas Clark, and again, Amber took him two spots before me.
I LOVE that I got Warner. Most fantasy TDs second half of last year? Not Brady, Kurt Warner! It's nice to have a proven gun-slinger who has weapons to complement Mr. Roethlisberger.
But Adam, you are right, when I looked at my final roster I had definitely had to double-check the calendar to make sure it was indeed 2008.
I'll have to do my fantasy post tonight!
Vince played bad last year, I will admit. But I'm chalking last year up to the Madden curse, so this year he will be better (he can't get much worse...)
All in all I'm pretty happy with my team. Hopefully they can give me a few good weeks before crumpling. I wanted Chester Taylor, but I waited to long to grab him. (although Adam likes the Michael Turner pick so maybe it was OK...)
In 2005, the Queen Bees had Donald Driver, Jeremy Shockey, and Ricky Williams. I was 1 year off...
Fuck Cori.
I'm not still bitter...
Oh yeah, wait, I am. Cheating whore.
