Steal Your League

Childs and JD talk about all the news since our last show, we take some listener questions and we also talk about the results of our mock draft (you can read about how we did it and see the results in our last post or just review the draft results in full screen mode). They argue draft strategy for those with picks towards the end of the first round - JD's for taking elite WRs, Childs argues for QBs - and talk about JD's crazy love for Michael Crabtree and Childs' equally crazy love for Roddy White among others.

Yesterday, JD and Childs took part in a 12 team mock draft, but mind you, it wasn't your average mock draft. We used standard scoring and a pretty average lineup structure (QB, 2RBs, 3WRs, TE, K, DEF, and 6 bench spots), but we each took six teams and alternated turns. JD's teams, along with first round pick position, are:

• Utah Saints (1)
• Fighting Artichokes (3)
• Butte Pirates (5)
• Los Angeles Saints (7)
• Purple Pounders (9)
• Watersmeat Nimrods (11)

Childs' teams are:

• Clam Jammers (2)
• San Antonio Saints (4)
• Willy Mays Hayes' (6)
• New Orleans Saints (8)
• Cobra Kia (10)
• Funky Lizards (12)

We decided to draft just among ourselves instead of in a mock draft lobby, mostly because we wanted to know where we stood, but also we didn't want to run into the inevitable Patriots fan who takes Lawrence Maroney as their first RB and Julian Edeleman in the 5th round and flushes the whole draft down the toilet. You can see the results of this draft below, and you can also view the results across your whole screen by going here.

You can hear us argue about draft strategy and some particular players who might have gone a bit too high (or low) on our next podcast. We'll also be tracking the progress of each team during the season to see how well we drafted this early in the 2010 season. We'll only be doing regular lineup changes - no trades or waiver moves period. Keep following the Steal your League blog for updated periodically throughout the season.
