Draft Day!

Armed with oodles and oodles of depth charts and player rankings, a legal pad and 2 tallboys of Bud, the owner of the New York Fairies is ready to participate in his tenth season of fantasy football.

Draft results will be up later...

UPDATE: Draft went off at 5:36, ended at 7:42. 10 teams, 16 rounds. I drew the 8th pick, which wasn't bad at all thanks to the snake format. Our league uses the standard fantasy scoring format, but for some inexplicable reason starts 2 QBs each week.

First round went like this:

P. Manning
Tomlinson
Alexander
Holmes
R. Moss
James
McNabb
McGahee
McAllister
Culpepper

The New York Fairies drafted, in order:

Willis McGahee, RB Buffalo
Trent Green, QB, Kansas City
Mike Vick, QB, Atlanta
Chris Brown, RB, Tennessee
Michael Clayton, WR, Tampa Bay
Ashley Lelie, WR, Denver
Warrick Dunn, RB, Atlanta
Dallas Clark, TE, Indianapolis
Eddie Kennison, WR, Kansas City
Keyshawn Johnson, WR, Dallas
Denver DEF
Eric Johnson, TE, San Francisco
Patrick Ramsey, QB, Washington
Sebastian Janikowski, K, Oakland
Tampa Bay DEF

Notes: There was a serious run on defenses late, and I took Denver as somewhat of a flyer. Keyshawn has been on a Ilk-run fantasy team for 8 of the 9 years I've been playing.
Dunn will probably be a week-on-week flex player.
I didn't get to draft Jeff Wilkins, much to my chagrin.
