Next step (because I started writing the post before I checked which step I am up to. Step 7?):
Ok the draft is super easy. Even if you didn't listen to me and came to the draft completely unprepared, the players are ranked so you could easily just pick the top ranked player for the position you want. It has the players, the ranks, the positions, and the "bye" weeks (and probably other stuff that I didn't pay attention to). I had second pick, and of course the QBs went first. First picker Godsmack or whatever his name is picked up Aaron Rodgers, who was the first-ranked QB. Not a surprise. Tom Brady was ranked second but I chose Drew Brees over Tom Brady because, well, screw prettyboy Tom Brady. Tom Brady was autodrafted to Team Spider Boss, who was not present for the draft as he is in Saudi Arabia serving our glorious country (you're welcome!) I have faith in Drew Brees anyway, and what's not to like about the New Orleans Saints? My husband didn't like the QB picks by the time it was his turn so he went straight for the top-ranked RB. This was a good move on his part. He is a strategist- he won't waste first few round picks on players that will still be there towards the end of the draft. Are you writing this down?
I had a couple of issues- I was too indecisive during 2 rounds about what position I wanted to draft and ran out of time so the site automatically selected a player for me. Our draft was given a 90 second time limit. It picks the top selected player next, which isn't horrible, unless that person is Maurice Jones-Drew, a player who has not actually committed to the Jaguars or anyone. Someone I was specifically told by my dear husband not to draft before we started. GR. Thanks ESPN auto-draft. Other than that I was pretty pleased with my lineup. There is a chat board on the bottom where you can talk smack or be nice, whatever your style is. I can't multitask that much so I didn't really participate.
After the draft was over I moved a couple people into starting positions based on injuries and whatnot. Actually, I just realized I didn't hit "submit" so I had to do it again. Duh
I got roped into joining another league. I'm now an expert- watch out Kimmel family!
People are driving backwards down Canyon Blvd in front of my eyes and I might witness an accident. Gotta go!
