Not a bad draft for someone that was running back and forth to the toilet throughout the entire thing...

Sean your No. 2 RB slot is filled by a guy who's expected to get less than 10 carries/game.
Gotta be real, homie.

Oh, I'm not debating/denying either claims. Did I spent time researching and creating a pick list? Yes. The thing that threw me off was the Snake format. I've never drafted in that fashion before, so I was under the impression that I'd be picking first each round. So those 19 picks between my first and second threw me off mentally.
Can't say I hit the panic button on certain picks, but I did throw some logic out the window. At this point, I'm just soaking in the experience/advice/criticism to make next years a better outing.
As far as the Hillis pick goes, there was some logic behind that though I can see why people would disagree with the pick. Ideally, I wanted Charles. But watching the last two preseason games, Hillis has gotten more carries than Charles. Also, going back to 2010, Charles's best season, he still had less carries than Thomas Jones. So it wouldn't suprise me to see Hillis given the ball more in the end.
Might not be the best logic, but it's something.
Also, I'm waiting to see what comes of the Stevan Ridley injury in NE. Might be moving Vereen up. We shall see.

I have a lot of upside with my picks that could be boom or bust (Helu, Mendenhall etc)
2 quality TE's that I can trade if need be, and I forget the rest of my team. I am going to be okay as long as Tommy Sexy Pants goes 2007 nuts like I think he can

My first few drafts were on Yahoo Sports with some people at work that weren't really all that into it, but still wanted to play. So I'm sure it was picked out of sheer laziness.
I liked this format better, as it had more surprises and whatnot. It's my own damn fault for not googling "Snake draft" so it's all good.

I didn't do any research at all and just winged it. It shows.

Honestly, I don't mind Hillis or Bush, or even Ridley... But only as my No. 3 back. |

One of my money leagues, we even do a 3rd round reversal to balance the league out.

I regret drafting Tony Romo  Okay, so maybe I was wrong, hopefully Ogletree's breakout performance wasn't a fluke. |

I dunno what was more frustrating, Williams or if I started MJD instead of Jennings in my other money league winning that game. I was ing livid last night during the Raiders game, thought McD had those 15 points |

Well one league I started Ben Tate AND Arian Foster to hedge my bets, and the other I played Gerhart over Peterson. Both of those were mistakes, but Julio and Ryan bailed me out.
