After numerous stops, starts, delays and reschedules, the fine folks at aPa finally settled down and had their drafts Sunday night. I didn't miss it because of work for a change. This time, I was on vacation and had some friends in town, so we all ended up at Borgata and I missed the draft. But as history has shown us, it's probably better this way.
So let's see what Yahoo Auto-Draft hath wrought this time around:
1. (7) RB Larry Johnson - He would not have been my choice here, but I do expect him to bounce back, especially since the Chiefs will be leaning on him while QB Brodie Croyle hopefully develops.
2. (22) WR Larry Fitzgerald - You see how important stability at quarterback is? Fitzgerald probably should've been gone by this point except the Cardinals are still waiting on Matt Leinart.
3. (35) WR Chad Johnson - Oh, Chad. You're moody, you had some pretty bad games for me last year, you got a lot of blame that you didn't deserve, and now your shoulder's hurt. Though, all things considered, this is probably a pretty good value pick at this point, particularly if he decides he has something to prove this season.
4. (50) WR Roy Williams - Lost in the deserved hype over Calvin Johnson and the team still reeling from the flameouts of Charles Rogers and Mike Williams is that this guy's pretty easily the Lions' best player.
Oh, by the way, can I get a quarterback up in here any time soon?
5. (63) RB Selvin Young - He doesn't have a weed habit that we know of, so I fully expect him to rush for 1,000-plus yards barring injury. I mean, he is a Bronco, after all.
6. (78) TE Chris Cooley - Captain Chaos is back! He's become a favorite around our offices despite his Redskins pedigree. We still owe him for helping save us back in 2005.
Oh, by the way, can I get a quarterback up in here any time soon?
7. (91) QB Jake Delhomme - Thank you.... I think. Though his arm looked OK against th Eagles last week, I'm a bit worried about his lack of targets to start the season.
8. (106) Chicago DEFENSE - Still one of the better ones.
9. (119) K Nick Folk - I think he was the first kicker off the board, which shocks me. I'm also shocked that there wasn't a real run on kickers like there usually is. This also gives me more Cowboys (1) than Eagles (0), which just killed me a little inside.
10. (134) WR D.J. Hackett - Never got on track for Seattle or me last year. He'll get a chance early in Carolina with the Steve Smith suspension.
11. (147) TE Ben Watson - Seriously, he's about the eighth option in New England. I think there are tackle-eligible plays and quarterback bootlegs further up in the playbook before anything involving the tight end.
12. (162) QB Jon Kitna - If he predicts we're gonna win 10 games I'll kick his ass myself. Sadly, he might end up starting a lot because the Lions are, well, the Lions, and they're gonna be behind a lot.
13. (175) WR Sidney Rice - This guy's not bad. I feel like he would've gone higher if anyone had any kind of confidence in Tarvaris Jackson.
14. (190) RB Chris Brown - The Houston one. (Seriously, there's like six Chris Browns in the league and they're all running backs.) Likely bench fodder.
15. (203) Indianapolis DEFENSE.
Eh. At least I was up in my poker game while this was going on.
