Second Draft of 2009

{ Posted on Monday, August 31, 2009 by Draft Geek }
I had my second draft this past weekend. Overall this draft went a little smoother than the first.

This is very QB heavy league, which I knew going into the draft. My goal going in was to get a QB from my top tier (consisting of 4 QBs). I was picking 4th of 14 teams. Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning were gone before my second pick (not unexpected). This left Aaron Rodgers as the lone QB in my top 4. Based on Rodgers' Average Draft Position (ADP) I was pretty confident I could get him as my next pick. I decided to go after a top WR, which were also starting to go fast. Ironically my next ranked WR was Greg Jennings. I grabbed Greg and sat and prayed until the next pick. Turns out my gamble was rewarded and I landed Rodgers in round 3. My one mental mistake in this draft was not grabbing a backup QB. The one thing I have going in my favor is that this league has a very shallow bench. Because of this, I expect players to often drop and pick up based on their own needs. My hope is that a quality backup QB will be dropped, that I can snag.

Here is a copy of the draft board.
