WELL, NOT REALLY.
TOO BUSY DIGGING AROUND FOR THE LAST FEW TIDBITS OF FANTASY INFO THAT HAVEN'T BEEN GOBBLED UP.
AS DEDICATED DRUNKEN BUMS, BRIAN AND I REALIZE OUR 2014 FANTASY TITLE WAS TAINTED, AN EXOTIC MIXTURE OF THE SUPERNATURAL INCLUDING FIVE OF THE SEVEN SIGNS THE WORLD WAS ENTERING THE END TIMES, A COUPLE GALLONS OF GOAT'S BLOOD, ONE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL AND A SPRINKLE OF LUCK.
ACTUALLY, IT WAS ALL LUCK - GOOD FOR US - AND BAD FOR YOU. ENJOY YOUR CHANCES AT REVENGE.
2015 DRAFT
THE BUMS ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR DRAFT, DESPITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE LAST 24 HOURS LEADING UP TO IT.
THEN LEVION BELL GOES FROM THE TOP OF THE DRAFT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OPENING ROUND, THE NEXT CONTENDER FOR NO. 1, ADRIAN PETERSON, SKIDS EVEN FURTHER, INTO THE SECOND-ROUND DREGS.
THERE SITS JAMAAL CHARLES, HE OF THE MONSTER 2013 EFFORT TO A 2014 CAMPAIGN THAT WAS GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT. WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE HIM AT TWO OVERALL, SINCE THE EXPERTS AT CBS HAVE HIM RANKED FIRST.
JAMAAL CHARLES
BELL WILL MISS THE FIRST COUPLE OF REGULAR SEASON GAMES BECAUSE OF SUSPENSION AND A.P. HAS PICKED UP AN INJURY OR THREE, SO WE START PLANNING FOR CHARLES TO BECOME A PSYCHO.
WE DON'T WANT BELL (AND TWO POTENTIAL LOSSES HIS ABSENCE COULD BRING AND WHAT IF PETERSON REALLY IS HURT?)
OLIVER LUCK AT NO. 2? I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK MARSHAWN LYNCH IS BEAT UP AND FAT, SO 800 YARDS ON THE GROUND AND FOUR SCORES AIN'T GONNA CUT. IT. GUESS I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE STARTING RB ON MY FAVORITE TEAM. EDDIE LACY.
BUT IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT AS PETERSON GOES FIRST AND WE GET CHARLES AT NO 2. OVERALL FOLLOWS.
A QUICK LOOK AT OUR DRAFT AND HOW OUR PICKS COMPARED TO THE EXPERTS FROM CBS.
NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT BEAR RB MATT FORTE WOULD HAVE FALLEN TO THE BOTTOM OF ROUND TWO, 23rd OVERALL I FIGURED A GAMBLE ON FRANK GORE WAS COMING HERE OR A SAFER CHOICE IN LESEAN McCOY OR ALSHON JEFFERY.
MIGHT HAVE EVEN SURPRISED WITH DAVANTE ADAMS HERE, BECAUSE HE'S GONNA BE GOOD FOR 90 OR MOE CATCHES AND SOME 14 TDs, AND IF I DON'T GET HIM THREE PICKS LATER AT NO. 26, I WILL NEVER GET HIM.
BUT THE LAST OF THE ELITE QBs IS THERE SO I HAVE TO TAKE DREW BREES. NO-BRAINER, NOW WE HAVE A LONG WAIT TO IF A COUPLE OF RBs WE LIKE, MELVIN GORDON AND JUSTIN FORSETT, WILL DROP.
DREW BREES
THEY DON''T, SO OUR 4th AND 5th PICKS ARE SPENT ON WIDEOUTS, KEENAN ALLEN (SD) AND NELSON AGLOHOR (PHIL).
FOR PICK NO. 71 OVERALL IN THE SIXTH ROUND THE BUMS TOOK PROMISING ROOKIE RUNNER TEVIN CAMPBELL AND THREE PICKS LATER SNARED WR ALLEN ROBINSON OF THE JAGS.
SEATTLE ROOKIE WR/KR TYLER LOCKETT WAS WAITING AT THE END OF ROUND 8 FOR US. ABOUT HIS TIME LAST YEAR WE TOOK INDY QB OLIVER LUCK TO BACK UP AARON ROGERS, SO WE WEREN'T SURPRISED THAT A STRONG THROWER LIKE DETROIT'S MATTHEW STAFFORD WAS AVAILABLE.
THUS, THE EVER-FUN, EVER-LONG TE/K/DEF PORTION OF OUR DRAFT STARTED. YEE-HAW, DAMNIT.
RECAP
