the fantasy football draft

we had our fantasy football draft on monday, september 2 at 7pm. so, here's what i learned...

in my league...  

• you can get adrian peterson in the first round, second pick (that was my draft position);
• the first position to be drafted was a quarterback; and,
• the first defense was drafted in the fifth round (which my husband insists is way too early for a defense to be drafted).

 so i ended up with:

slot	player, team pos
qb	colin kaepernick, sf qb
rb1	adrian peterson, min rb
rb2	chris johnson, ten rb
wr1	andre johnson, hou wr
wr2	vincent jackson, tb wr
wr3	antonio brown, pit wr
te	vernon davis, sf te
k	matt prater, den k
op	andy dalton, cin qb
d/st	chicago bears, d/st

 
my husband says it's a solid team. i'm okay with it. i'm not quite certain about andy dalton, but i like my running backs and my wide receivers.

but this draft brought to my attention something i finally had to admit to myself. that i really didn't know the players anymore. heck, i really don't know the game of football, either.

so i promised myself i would spend time finding out - about both my players and the game itself.

that'll be fun, i hoped. well, it was necessary, at least. i mean, a fantasy football championship is riding on it. can't get more serious than that.
