Fantasy draft No. 1

As seen on Gabe Whisnant's blog, here's an idea theft about how one of my draft went.

It's a touchdown-only league, and it's been around since the 1980s. I've only been a member for five years - after a five-year stay on the waiting list. It's easier to get Packer tickets, or sell a Vick jersey at the Westminster Dog Show.

Anyway, I kept Marion Barber and Edgerrin James. Yeah, last year was bad. This one should be better. It's a keeper league, so the usual suspects weren't available. Adrian Peterson went No. 1 overall, if you're wondering.

Lineup:
QB: Jay Cutler (waited until late)
RB: Barber
RB: Ronnie Brown (1st pick)
WR: Marques Colston (other 1st rounder)
WR: Vincent Jackson (third round, really happy here)
TE: Todd Heap (fifth round)
K: Olindo Mare (really late, where kickers belong)
DEF: Ravens (Round seven)

Reserves
QB: Jeff Garcia (should have done better here, but J.P. Losman and Jon Kitna both share a bye week with Cutler)
RB: James, Tatum Bell (who proceeded to run out and get hurt), Michael Bush (last pick, just taking a flyer)
WR: Donald Driver (round two, but nicked up right now), Jerricho Cotchery (really like this guy).

Review: Good depth at wide receiver, a little shallow at running back. If Cutler's good, I will be too. If I have to play Garcia, I'm in trouble.
