RotoScoop contributors Dalton, Robby and Jeff participated in their yearly fantasy football draft Sunday night in the same league we have all competed in since our junior year of high school (1998). It’s a 12-team league featuring eight members who have competed all eight years, along with a two-time champ returning from hiatus, a filthy rich Napoleon Dynamite look-alike, some red-headed jerk from USC who just happens to be last year’s fluke winner and the commissioner’s girlfriend, who is a disturbingly adroit fantasy force. The league boasts a pretty standard scoring system (1 point per 10 rushing/receiving yards, 1 point per 20 passing yards, 6 pts for a rushing/receiving TD and 4 for a passing TD). The draft was 18 rounds and each team has nine starters, including a RB/WR flex position. While the draft may have been painstakingly slow, good times were had by all, especially those who came away with a stacked team, but more on that later. We will soon be posting the results of the draft, with comments on what exactly went down in each round.
* Note: Before posting everyone’s selections, it’s important to note a few crucial predraft trades involving draft picks, a unique facet of our fantasy football league. Dalton, coveting a top-three pick, dealt his top two picks (6 and 19 overall) for the No. 2 spot, promptly trading down to pick No. 3 and swapping his ninth round for a fourth round pick. Jeff, seeing an appreciable drop off in talent after the third round, swapped his fourth and sixth round picks (44 and 68 overall) for Robby’s third and 10th round selections (33 and 112 overall).
