That draft I feel might not be the weather getting cooler (although I woke up to 5 straight days of a thick blanket of fog). It might be from the 4 fantasy football drafts I've had the last two weeks, including TWO today.
I said to myself a few months ago that it's crazy that I bought a fantasy football magazine before I bought an NFL season preview. Even crazier considering I never did fantasy until the 2008 season and now i have FOUR teams. True to my life, any time I get involved in something, I dive full on into it like a fiend.
Two of my leagues are repeats and two are new with some peeps from Twitter. Here's the rosters.

Some of my trends are obvious. I really like Jeremy Maclin of the hated Eagles and the Giants receivers. I took a big steal in Toby Gerhart, who I think will be a solid #2 to Adrian Peterson after watching him tear up the Pac-10 last year.
Weakest draft is obviously my last one. I stupidly drafted Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. I know Tony Romo's gonna have 4,000 yards passing this year for my Boys but I hate drafting two guys on the same team at that position. And my main ESPN one doesn't have a backup QB for now.
I'll try to keep everyone posted every Tuesday on how I do.
