14 team fantasy league

[TruffleShuffle]

Let me tell you, I have done some leagues where I felt like we were scraping the bottom of the barrel - and then a bunch of grad students and myself conducted a 14 team draft covering 15 rounds last evening. Talk about bottom of the barrel. I wasn't even thrilled with who to pick by, say, the 6th round. Here's what I came up with:

 

Round 1: RB Edgerrin James

Round 2: WR Marvin Harrison

Round 3: WR Roy Williams

Round 4: TE Jeremy Shockey

Round 5: QB Jake Plummer

Round 6: RB Ahman Green

Round 7: Pittsburgh D

Round 8: RB Kevan Barlow

Round 9: WR Kevin Curtis

Round 10: QB Michael Vick

Round 11: RB Maurice Jones-Drew

Round 12: K Josh Brown

Round 13: RB Derrick Blaylock

Round 14: TE Kellen Winslow

Round 15: Arizona D

 

 

Like I said - you had to get pretty creative with some picks. I took a lot of RBs for when (not if) Ahman Green gets hurt for the year. I know James is on Arizona, but I just can't believe that he'll go from great to mediocre by changing teams. Arizona should have a big-time offense. I took Barlow and Blaylock b/c I have no idea who will get most of the Jets' carries, and I took Jones-Drew because Greg Jones just blew out his knee and Fred Taylor will inevitably get hurt. Shockey was kind of a no-brainer after Gates was picked as the first TE. Winslow is a good pick for the late round - high risk, high reward.

 

 

So we'll see how it turns out. That's my first of 5 fantasy drafts this year, haha.
