In a football league with co-workers from three jobs ago (the baseball statistics people), where the commish set us up for an automatic draft rather than bother finding a time when we could all met. Fair enough, except that I did a lousy job of pre-ranking, specifically in that I overthought the whole process.
It's one thing to downgrade Marshall Faulk and Fred Taylor as injury risks, quite another to rank them below Brian Westbrook (and therefore end up with Westbrook as the 18th overall pick, when Faulk and Taylor go 19 and 20 to the teams that already had the two best RB's).
This year I think 3rd is a bad spot in a non-keeper league draft. Probably not as bad as late first round but still. I took Ahman Green. Will he be any better or worse than the guys who went 4-7? Well, obviously someone will exceed expectations and someone will tank, but no more or less likely Green than Portis, Alexander, or whoever.
