THE DRAFT, LIVE

Okay. Time for the draft. As I sit at my computer, I all of a sudden feel like I really should have done a mock draft. What does WR stand for again? And I think I know what a Snake Draft is. Two years ago I was the “Vanna White” for a live draft, so I think I remember…Okay, so an hour before the draft starts…lets do some research. I scoped out the top 100 players, looked at Fantasy Football 2015 projections and also at the points the players acquired last year and came up with a list of about 10 players per position. Hopefully that was going to be enough. Alright, so I’m feeling pretty good. I’m actually excited! I think I am starting to understand the draw! Now there’s about 10 minuets before the live draft starts. How do I select a player? And Flex? What does that mean? How much time do we have allotted per draft pick? As I fervently text our League Manager asking him all this and more, with great patience he helped me through it. I found the que and started to set things up. Back on track. Now time for the draft!! I am set up as draft pick #9 out of 10. Not seemingly that great, but because of the snake draft, that means in round 2, I’ll be #2! So we’ll see how that goes…I feel like all the players I had set up for are being grabbed right away! I feel like the first few rounds are easiest and it’s the latter rounds that become difficult. All the names on my list are crossed out and taken already, what should I do? And then wonderful! My computer freezes! And my turn is up! Oh no! As soon as my computer comes back I’ll just drop a bunch of people in my que to at least have someone. That guy has a cool name…That guy looks pretty tough…I think I’ve heard of him…
