Tales of a Secret Rockstar

I'm so bored of little gods, while I'm standing on the edge of something large, while I'm standing here so close to You . . .

Time to (Literally) Take out the Trash

But first, a little blogging. I thought I'd continue with an analysis of one of my fantasy football drafts today, since I'll take any kind of excuse to repeat topics that I can get. Did that make sense?

Moving on . . .

Before we start I will say that we had Resonate and Rejoice auditions today. I'm impressed with how much talent our students have. Even though not everyone can be on the travelling teams, they were all quite impressive. Seriously. I'm not just saying that because I think students are reading this.

Moving on . . .

Rounds 6 to 10 of my Tuesday night draft went thusly:

6. Kellen Winslow
7. Roddy White
8. Jay Cutler
9. Chester Taylor
10. David Garrard

Taking a tight end in round 6 was a little new to me, since I sometimes focus on good backup RB's or WR's and let a tight end fall to me in round 8 or so. But by this point I had my 2 RB spots, 2 WR spots, and 1 flex position filled with solid players. I thought I'd go after a strong tight end right away. Hopefully that pans out well for me. In another league I took Chris Cooley, and he earned me 0.7 points today. Wow.

Roddy white was a bit of a gift in round 7. Everyone's talking about this guy. Not that he has a proven quarterback, but he did quite well with proven terrible quarterbacks last year. He's filling in for the angry Steve Smith right now. After that, possible trade material to upgrade at QB.

I've invested in Cutler in a couple of leagues now, and we'll see how that pans out. I think he's got the potential, and now he's gotten his diabetes diagnosed. What a world we live in. I know all about a stranger's diabetes. Hooray! Anyways, in a moment of panic I took Garrard in round 10, just in case things didn't work out
with Cutler.

About Chester Taylor: If AP goes down, I've struck it rich. He's a good runner himself, running behind a great line in a strong offense. This pick was kind of an insurance/screw up the other guy kind of pick. We'll also see how that turns out.

Tomorrow, rounds 11-15.

For those of you who are reading this and not interested in Fantasy Football (and I'm assuming you're mostly women), never fear, more deep and touchy-feely topics are coming your way soon.
