while i'm glad that the english premier league is about to get going again, i am actually talking about american football today and nearly always. this seemed like the proper time to start some mock drafts - an activity i recommend despite its pitfalls. of course i ended up drafting last, which left me with drew brees and calvin johnson as my first two choices. no intriguing running backs were left at that point. the last thing i want is to take brandon jacobs with the twelfth pick. clearly it's advantageous to take a running back early, and their value is the easiest to protect of any offensive position. i'm behind that logic, i'm just not behind it enough to take unreliable players with my top two picks.
mock drafting is the purest form of consequence-free fantasy sports. considering the rapidity with which online players abandon their teams, i shouldn't have been surprised when multiple mock drafters apparently abandoned their teams before the draft actually began. i suppose i should create a 'full auto' profile and draft three teams that i will plan not to touch all year. once one of them clinches a playoff spot, i'll go back to managing actively and try to win a championship. i feel the chances of this working are incredibly slim.
