We have our 8 for the upcoming season! Here's is the upcoming draft order as chosen out of a hat by Grace:
1. Kevin
2. Stacey
3. Mark (Grace's Friend)
4. Grace
5. Mike
6. Amber
7. Brian
8. Adam
Of all the years we've been playing, the draft order seems to matter the least this year. Usually there's a consensus number one guy, or at least the top 4 or 5 are pretty well considered better than the rest (remember when LT, Larry Johnson, and Shaun Alexander were the cream of the crop?). Now? I've read fantasy articles where Turner was touted as the best...or AP....or Jones-Drew...there's just so much up in the air. And then even after those guys...who's the 4th or 5th best back? You see Chris Johnson's name...or Steve Slaton...or Frank Gore...or DeAngelo Williams...or Steven Jackson. Then there's the usual suspects, like Portis, LT, and Westbrook...the veteran fantasy studs.
Just interesting. You can do mock drafts on Yahoo now (8, 10, or 12 team leagues), and in an 8-team league I've see the 8th pick end up with Steven Jackson and LT. Can you imagine that in another year? The depth at RB (or the uncertainty, however you want to look at it) is crazy. Some good guys out there that you can get in probably the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even 5th rounds this year. That should make for a fun draft.
Anyway, looking forward to it (August 25th...8:30...). Kevin, you are officially on the clock!

Thank you Grace!!! I was hoping for 7 or 8.
You're right, this year's draft is very up in the air.
I was going to draft Vince Young #1, but what if Vick is allowed to play this year? Tough choice.
Looks like you may have to roll the dice on that one and keep your fingers crossed that one of those "studs" makes it to you in the 2nd round...I know I have them both on my draft board though...oh wait, nope, I only have good players. My bad =).
I'm still waiting for the all Johnson and Jones team! You could start with Jones-Drew (I'd say he qualifies as a Jones...Drew-Jones? Definitely not.), and take Chris Johnson with your 2nd pick, and Megatron with your 3rd...you'd be on your way! And your team would be decent!
Except you wouldn't have a QB...hmmm...where is Brad Johnson playing now, anyway???
