Hey everyone! Hope the beginning of your school year is going well and you aren’t too overloaded with work. I know after a long summer it is hard for me to get my rhythm going at school again, but it always comes back after the first few weeks. Keep fighting!
Last week I drafted my annual fantasy football team that I participate in with my girlfriend and my friends. We have cash prizes and everything! After a whole lot of research I was definitely prepared to dominate my draft. I was randomly given the 3rd overall pick and I ended up getting Arian Foster after he dropped to me from the #1 overall ranking on ESPN. The rest of my draft went in this order Larry Fitzgerald WR, Darren McFadden RB, Steven Jackson RB, Julio Jones WR, Philip Rivers QB, Jermichael Finley TE, Matt Ryan QB, Beanie Wells RB, Robert Meachem WR, Ben Roethlisberger QB, Eagles D/ST, Nate Washington WR and finally Nate Kaeding K.
Because I drafted Rivers after a shaky last season I knew I was going to need QB depth just in case. That is why I also drafted Ryan and Big Ben. My RB core is phenomenal and my WRs are almost as good. My weaknesses are clearly QB and TE. Tweet me @DerekJ_AllDay and let me know what you think of my draft!
Sorry this post is so short, but after being in class all day and just finishing homework I now need to sleep so I can be up for more class in the morning. Just so you guys know I am going to talk to Jen about possibly moving the day of the week that my post goes up. I normally write these on Mondays and with my new schedule that is just a pain in the ass for me. Thanks for reading!
