Not much sexy to say. I picked sixth in a Yahoo! league this weekend to try to snag all the players of one team as I said I would in an earlier post. It's an experiment.
At the sixth spot I figured I had an excellent shot at grabbing the Patriots, so I reached a couple spots and took Laurence Maroney, hoping to get Brady in the second, Moss in the third, Stallworth in the fourth, the defense, then Ben Watson - you get the idea. It wasn't to be as Brady went exactly one pick before mine in the second.
With seconds to adjust strategy, I went with Clinton Portis. Grabbing the rest of the Redskins, as you might guess, was not a challenge. Cooley in the third is a stretch. Drafting Randle El in the fifth is silly. I took Betts in the fourth, just in case someone else thinks he is the better back in Washington. I will start both backs as part of the experiment.
It will not, obviously, be an explosive roster, but the Skins have a fairly soft schedule this year, I believe. They'll move the ball and score touchdowns. It's the defense and kicking game that really, really scare me. You need those positions to come through for success.
I might try to aim for the Patriots again or, you know what, possibly the Steelers. Why not? Fantasy Nation is down on everyone in Pittsburgh except Willie Parker. Should be an easy draft if I go high enough in the first.
We'll see.
