The SportsBlog Nation helds its first-ever Fantasy Football Draft Tuesday night. A 16-team juggernaut of whiz-bang sports journalists vying for the title of Fake Team Champion of the world.
We have published these results. Keep in mind this was a 16-team league, which is far deeper than most other cybernetic FFL'ers. So there were a lot of dry picks towards the later rounds.
FYI, your correspondent got the 8th draft pick (9th in even-numbered rounds), going with the team name Seattle Food Handlers. It was a given that Shaun Alexander would be gone by the time my turn came up (in fact, he went first out of everyone). So I tried to tell all my competitors that he had just defected to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Didn't work.
We've published the results "after the jump," as they say, so...
