TALE OF TWO DRAFTS (PT. II)

This is the one which still has me scratching my head....
Sunday night - 10 team league - I'm picking 5th...
The usual suspects go 1 & 2, then S. Jackson goes and Tom Brady...I get Brian Westbrook with 5th pick. Then the real shockers - E. Graham & D. McFadden in 1st round, Peyton early 2nd, and when I come up - Marshawn Lynch...WOW!...
Moving on - 3rdround - McNabb & Farve taken with first picks...New England Defense right before me (WHAT!)...I get Brandon Jacobs - 3 of the top 12 RB's...what a break...
The headscratchers continue - PK N. Folk om 3rd round; Julius Jones in 4th round (Stretch), WR Steve Smith of Giants - 5th round (WHAT!), and so it goes...
This was one of the strangest drafts and I thing I did pretty well...

QB - Hasselback & Schaub
RB - Westbrook, Lynch, Jacobs, C. Perry. C. Johnson (TEN), B. Jackson (GB)
WR - Colston, C. Johnson (DET), S. Holmes, R. White, L. Evans & E. Royal (Sleeper)
TE - Whitten & V. Davis
PK - S. Graham
DEF - Redskins

I think I've got a winner...

The one thing I want to point out - watch how things play out and stick to your plan. I saw everyone else grab Kickers and Defenses - I waited till round 15 to get a kicker and round 16 for a defense....they are pretty much crapshoots.....

Good luck in week one!
