Note - this is an actual fantasy football draft that took place on Saturday, August 25, 2007. I was asked to split and draft a fantasy football team by the VP of the company I work for. He had to go out of town on business. I had no idea of the quality of players when I got there. After the draft was complete, I would say that 5 of the 10 knew what they were doing, and the other 5 talked a big game.
Of note, there were 10 teams and 16 rounds. In this league you start the following:
1 Quarterback
2 Running Backs
3 Wide Receivers
1 Tight End
1 Kicker
1 Defense
and any 7 players on the bench
I have the 3rd pick overall, and the order snakes around like most drafts do (pick 10 gets pick 11 too).
Round 1
| Pick # | Player | Rank | Position | My Thoughts |
| 1 | Ladanian Tomlinson | 1 | RB | |
| 2 | Steven Jackson | 3 | RB | |
| 3 | Larry Johnson | 2 | RB | Was hoping I would get Jackson, I'll take Johnson |
| 4 | Peyton Manning | 10 | QB | Liking this draft |
| 5 | Joseph Addai | 8 | RB | |
| 6 | Shaun Alexander | 5 | RB | |
| 7 | Frank Gore | 4 | RB | |
| 8 | Brian Westbrook | 6 | RB | |
| 9 | Travis Henry | 14 | RB | Liking this draft a lot |
| 10 | Willie Parker | 7 | RB |
After 2 big reaches by some guys, I know some good RB's have a chance to fall to me. With Pick 18 I have to get pretty lucky for that to happen.
