Fantasy Football Review

I had cause to look back at past postings on this blog and came across my fantasy football draft from this past season. Here's how my draft played out:

1. Larry Johnson - RB
   
2. Ronnie Brown - RB
   
3. Donovan McNabb - QB
   
4. Lee Evans - WR
   
5. Plaxico Burress - WR
   
6. Deuce McAllister - RB
   
7. Vernon Davis - TE
   
8. Mark Clayton - WR
   
9. Alex Smith - QB
   
10. Shayne Graham - K
    
11. Vernand Morency - RB
    
12. Bernard Berrian - WR
    
13. Baltimore - D/ST
    

Now, here's my roster on the final day of the season:

1. Derek Anderson - QB
2. Earnest Graham - RB
3. Fred Jackson - RB
4. Chester Taylor - RB
5. Fred Taylor - RB
6. Bernard Berrian - WR
7. Plaxico Burress - WR
8. Anthony Gonzalez - WR
9. Brandon Marshall - WR
10. Vernon Davis - TE
11. Phil Dawson - K
12. San Diego - D/ST
13. Indianapolis - D/ST
    

So let's see, my first two draft picks went out with injuries (and Brown was a stud before he went down); the third pick was less than great (except for the one week that I sat him) before I dropped him; my fourth pick did not live up to expectations; pick five, stud; pick six, nothing special; pick seven, dropped him and picked him up again; picks eight through eleven, not much to talk about; pick twelve had good weeks, but was handicapped by below average quarterback play; and pick thirteen was my keeper and was not good. 

My pick-ups did OK, for the most part. DA was great, most of the time (double bonus since I'm a huge Browns fan); my RB corps did alright, especially Fred Taylor; Marshall was a go-to R a good part of the year; and I had two good D/ST to choose from. Considering how pitiful of a draft it was, a sixth place finish, was not too bad. Here's hoping I draft better next year, though.
