Thoughts

As of nearly midnight last night, the deed has been done. Our draft is completed and our rosters set. Yet another year of being in just one fantasy football league, but that is just fine by me.

This time last year I had already been told that I would not make the playoffs in our league. Only two teams would not make the playoffs. This year the pressure is on a little more. It would be nice to make the playoffs, but truth of the matter is that I actually do not care. I am not good enough at fantasy football and do not follow the season nearly as close as many. Here is the team as of draft day:

Starters
QB Daunte Culpepper
WR Drew Bennett
WR Anquan Boldin
RB Priest Holmes
RB Duce Staley
TE Todd Heap
WR/RB Chris Brown
K Adam Vinatieri
DEF Baltimore
Bench
WR Braylon Edwards
QB Chad Pennington
WR Donte' Stallworth
RB Justin Fargas

I had the fourth pick, which left me with Holmes. I did not want to take him, I was hoping he would go before me. Since he didn't, what choice did I have? It could be a mistake a) with his knee and b) with Larry Johnson scheduled to share touches, but I did what I had to do and took him with my first pick. Last year I took Clinton Portis with my first pick and that was a waste, so maybe I have some wiggle room. On top of that, my other two starting running backs are currently nursing injuries.

Getting Culpepper with my second pick was a big surprise. I did not expect him to fall back to me. I was excited. He was the sole reason I had any success at all last season. As much as I cannot stand that stupid dance he does, I hope to see it over and over (as he only does it after making a big play).

It is not a team without potential. This could be a very interesting year.

Bring it on!
