And we had our draft this past weekend. Which I almost slept through. It wasn't like it was super early. 10:45 on a Saturday is a normal time for most humans. Naturally, I roll out of bed at 10:40, stumble downstairs, and draft... sort of. I have to say, I'm not nearly as excited about fantasy football as I normally am. Normally, I'm hunting for a Roland Slam. This year's baseball season has been frustrating, as I'm currently in 3rd/4th, hanging around closely enough so that a miracle finish can still put me into first, but not enough so that I'm taking it seriously. And since the Roland Slam '09 isn't happening, my interest in football is only moderate. Then, to make things even less exciting, I quickly learned that I was picking last. 14th out of 14. Probably not a great sign.
I wasn't as mad at the fact that I was going to be picking last as I was mad at the fact that I could have slept for another 25 minutes or so. But it was going to be OK. The draft is always a good time, even if we're getting old and recycling the same jokes year after year. For example, Greg has noted:
"Whenever someone with either unproven talent or a culturally diverse name (or both) was picked, Roland never missed the opportunity to ask, "Who the hell is that?"--again."
And of course, we had the usual jokes about autodrafting injured/incarcerated/dead players. Sadly, we just missed out on the Shawne Merriman/Tila Tequila jokes. But at least we still hae Donte Stallworth and Plaxico Burress jokes to keep us entertained. Yeah. Some things never change.
So the draft unfolds pretty much according to plan, though some would argue that Schultzie went for Matt Forte went a little too early at #2 overall. And C-Lauff may have stretched just a bit with Andre Johnson. But here's the thing. These players weren't going to be around in the next round. If you like a guy, you get the guy. And of course, as we get to the end of the round, Rupert comments about how everyone's been disciplined and not taken QB's yet. So naturally, I decide that needed to end. 1st pick of the O.N. Thugs? Tom Brady at #14 overall. Screw it. We've always had more of an emphasis on QB's in the UPL. Plus, fantasy football is basically having the skill to make sure that you finish in the top 8, and then you flip coins to get a champ. If I'm going to flip coins, I'm going to do so with guys who are going to be consistently good.

| 14. | Tom Brady | O.N. Thugs |
And of course, I have to follow up my Brady pick with his teammate, Randy Moss. So Brady to Moss belongs to the O.N. Thugs this year. I can think of worse duos.

| 12. | Greg Jennings | The GenErics |
| 13. | Matt Ryan | reggie's busn |
| 14. | Pierre Thomas | Green Bay Sl... |
The rest of the 2nd round goes, generally according to plan, though Matt Ryan and Pierre Thomas may raise a few eyebrows. Curran resists the urge to pick up Tony Romo, opting for the safer choice of Drew Brees. Rookie takes big bro's safety net, when he goes Peyton. Mikey, instead goes with Aaron Rodgers... a decidedly non-I-giocatori sort of QB. And by that I mean that Mikey is associated w/ Peyton and Brees, generally. Consistent. Quality. On the other hand, Rodgers is flaky, a gambler, and (in my mind) overrated.
What's bad is that I picked 14 and 15. And then I picked again at 42 and 43. So, with the 26 pick gap, I started wandering around the kitchen, figuring out breakfast plans. An incredibly boring draft, actually... I hadn't even woken up enough to start trash talking. I get some food in the system, and still have a few minutes to see who's still on the board. And I notice that there weren't many RB's available that were worth 3rd and 4th round picks... I decided that I could get some crappy RB starters/question marks later on in the draft, and that I may as well get a couple more good WR's. Brandon Marshall and Ochocinco. Couple of relatively high risk picks, particularly with Marshall suspended by the Broncos (and since reinstated), and Ochocinco coming off a terrible season. But again, football's a gamble. Philip Rivers may be a relative bargain, compared to the 2nd round QB's. And you get the feeling that about half of the 3rd round is going to be busts (Ronnie Brown, Roddy White, Colston, Kevin Smith, Dewayne Bowe, Antonio Bryant, Joseph Addai, if I had to guess).

| 13. | Eddie Royal | reggie's busn |
| 14. | Donovan McNabb | Green Bay Sl... |
Of course, after I pick my two WR's, I promptly get another 26 pick break. OD may be getting a steal with Holmes in the 4th - he may take over as the clear #1 option for Roethlisberger. It feels a round too early for the TE's (even the ESPN commercials have them in the 5th round). I'm not sold on Ray Rice at all, at least not in the 4th. Ditto for Eddie Royal.
And the 5th round rolls in...

| 13. | Greg Olsen | Dino's Revenge |
| 14. | Cedric Benson | O.N. Thugs |
We're starting to see the bad starting RB's/2nd RB's start to go. Mikey gets unlucky with Ward, who appears to be the backup now. So, I have to get on the bandwagon. Cedric Benson in the 5th. and Knowshon Moreno in the 6th... before I get to wait for another 30 minutes. At least, at this point, I'm starting to make jokes in the chat room. I believe that we got our first dead player joke with some comment about Steve McNair.

I have a suspicion that Carson Palmer in the 6th becomes a good value... at least, I'm hoping it does, since I've got Ochocinco... and it's at this point when people are basically guessing.

| 13. | Michael Jenkins | Dino's Revenge |
| 14. | Baltimore | O.N. Thugs |
Round 7 rolls in, and I finally get to throw out my, "Who the hell's Jermichael Finley?" And it wasn't just me Rup was equally confused, which is sort of strange since Rup is normally all about drafting unproven rookies early. At this point we're looking at more 2nd RB's, 2nd/3rd tier TE's. Instead of guessing at one of these guys, I decide to go with a more certain pick. Baltimore D. That's the D that I like, so I run with it. And I still need another RB, so I go with a high upside one in Darren Sproles in the 8th, before I go take another 25 minute nap.

| 12. | Michael Crabtree | The GenErics |
| 13. | Philadelphia | reggie's busn |
| 14. | Zach Miller | Green Bay Sl... |
I think that at this point, the whole draft was in a bit of a coma. We make fun of Eric for getting Crabtree, who still isn't under contract. And I think that most people are thinking to themselves, "Who the hell's LeSean McCoy? or Zach Miller? Or Percy Harvin? Or..." We're definitely guessing. So at this point, I'm still missing a TE. But we're getting a little thin, so any pick now is a stretch. I actually really like Dustin Keller, since he's athletic, a good receiver, and has a rookie QB throwing. But he'll probably be available late in the draft, so during my 26 pick hiatus, I make a decision. I'm going to draft individual defensive players soon. I go with a 4th WR and a 4th RB in the 9th and 10th round (Ted Ginn and Ricky Williams), but decide that I'd go IDP for the 4 rounds after that. Ordinarily, this would be a little early. But we're playing 4 IDP's this year, so there's a little more value for these guys. So, I want to make sure that I get the guys that I want. And I target Ed Reed, Josh Wilson and Terrance McGee. Ed Reed's a future HOF 'er and an O.N. Thugs staple. So, I'd probably prefer to go Reed and McGee, since both are familiar players for me. But Wilson's probably the better play. Both Wilson and McGee are CB's who start, get their fair share of tackles (to guarantee at least 4 or 5 points), and make big plays (give you the chance at getting 15+ points). Plus, they return kicks. But I have a gameplan, at least.

| 13. | Julius Jones | Dino's Revenge |
| 14. | Ted Ginn Jr. | O.N. Thugs |
I'm sure that we had a Roethlisberger joke when he went off the board. Ginn looks to be an upside pick for me.

A kicker went off the board (autodraft induced mistake), which sets off a run on kickers (lemming induced mistakes). I'm a little sad when Ed Reed went off the board. I end up going through with my Wilson/McGee plan. And Mikey suspects that I'm actually looking at his draft list. Apparently he had a similar idea. So, it's a good thing that I took them when I did.

It's looking like there will be some good vlue in the 11th. Fred Taylor, Steve Breaston, and Brett Favre all could end up being regular fantasy starters. And Sammy Morris in the 12th has extra value in the UPL because we give points for receptions. Deion Branch could be a winner, as well.
With Wilson and McGee, I had my DB and my D set up, so I still needed a DL and a LB. I was hoping for Patrick Willis, but JimmyDix grabbed him in the 11th. My next thought was Jerod Mayo, who looks to be a stud in New England. So, he becomes an O.N. Thug. And I go with Jason Taylor, who's coming off of a bad season, but could be an impact player, as offenses are going to gameplan for Joey Porter.

I add on Cadillac Williams, who's the most talented back in Tampa. Luckily, he's also become #1 on the depth chart. I also note that I don't really have a backup QB. But I stick w/ my instincts and get Williams. I figure that if Brady goes down, my season's done, anyway. And maybe some reasonable QB's will still be there when I draft again. Worst case scenario, I just go grab Shaun Hill off free agency if I need a QB. Unfortunately, Delhomme and Pennington both go in the 16th. Looks like Shaun Hill's my backup QB!
The 17th-20th rounds are basically just a couple gambles, plus a kicker. I go with 3 WR's: the Raiders rookie WR, Heyward-Bey, another Raider WR, Javon Walker, and Brandon Stokley. 20th round is Nate Kaeding as my kicker. Some where in there, I throw in a Donte Stallworth joke, since it wouldn't be right to have a draft without joking about NFL murderers (and no one was drafting Leonard Little).

All in all, I'm pretty happy with my team, considering I don't know who half of the players are (not true - it's just that I have zero clue how well about 75% of the players are going to do - giant crapshoot). At the very least, the scoring projections seem to think that I've got a shot. We'll see how that looks. In any case, we'll see how this season pans out... I suppose that we could just flip a few coins, and save ourselves some time.

I'm still waiting for that draft recap post somewhere in the future when your theme will be: "I prepared for weeks, poring over years of data. When the day of the draft finally arrived, I woke up at 8 a.m. to ensure that my Internet connection was functioning, there were no late-breaking injuries, and I would be at optimal mental performance by the time 10:45 a.m. rolled around..."
Oh, wait, I think I'll probably be waiting a while for that one...
I don't think that we're going to see that post in the near future, either.
Maybe if we somehow ended up with a high-stakes cash keeper league, I may spend some time prepping for that draft... maybe.
I'm going to have nightmares about picking Romo. And losing to Curran thanks to Brees inhuman dominance of the lions
