The Draft

Well I went through the draft with my wife's family. It was a fun experience to have for the first time. I barely knew what I was doing but I feel confident that the Lone Rangers are going to win this year. A win would grant me a trophy they are making! Also a win would possibly mean more chances to play fantasy football with these awesome people.

I had seventh pick in the draft so not too bad, not first, and not dead last either. I didn't get Peyton Manning stated to be the best player of this season, but I don't know if that will be true I have my doubts. To pick my drafts I looked at what the NFL experts picked for their favorite players, and used the best I could pick from their picks. I was told this is a cheat sheet, but its all fair in love and war, right?

I drafted Aaron Rodgers as my starting Quarterback, and Colin Kaepernick as the backup quarterback. I like Aaron Rodgers and I feel he will do good, I know nothing about Colin which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. He is from the 49ers, and when in doubt always choose the 49ers...that's my motto.

I drafted the Rams for my defense, the Pittsburgh cheaters, and the Jets for my backup defenses if I need to switch Defense, ever. I am not a fan of any of these teams but according to the experts these teams are supposed to be pretty good, they better be or bye bye trophy!

My running backs are Zac Stacy, and Andre Ellington. They were good for what was left. I honestly do not expect much from these two, and these are probably where the hole is in my entire TEAM! I overlooked the running backs while we were drafting so I got in a little late.

I have no idea what a WR is so I googled it. It means wide receiver, these guys can make points I would think. Pass plays are always done and win games! I did not realize that when I was doing the draft otherwise maybe I would have cared more. I did try though and I came up with Roddy White, and Michael Floyd. My backups are Markus WHEATON!!!

and Reuben Randle. My understanding is that none of these guys are winners.

Jordan Reed is my Tight End, and I guess he is pretty good, I have no idea who he is though. My backup tight end is Heath Miller. I have no idea what the tight end does, so I hope he does something good, because I think Reed was a decent pick. He better make me points.

My flex is Bernard Pierce and he is a running back. He should be okay.

I picked a kicker pretty early on in the draft because I remember the games where it always came down to the kicker scoring for the WIN. So I was able to draft two good kickers Stephen Gostkowski, and Phil Dawson for the backup kicker. Phil is another 49ers player! Woot Woot! Otherwise I know nothing about them, but they are supposedly the best, we shall see.

I have my first game against a team that looks pretty good. According to the experts at ESPN, they don't think my team will win. Well that's fine, like I said before I am the underdog! This will be our first game where we overcome the odds, and we will not stop until that trophy comes home with The Lone Rangers!
