Sleepless in Orlando, see my draft results.
The past few days I have been under the weather (not sure how since I live in Orlando and its 100 degrees outside). I spent a good part of the day sleeping so tonight I was wide awake (still not feeling well). I knew I needed to blow some time so I decided to signup for a Yahoo! draft. I have provided an overview of the league as well as commentary on each of my draft selections.

Frank Gore is a beast, the 49ers offense revolves around him and that won't change this year. Gore will also be the goal line back this season - a role that Michael Robinson filled for the last half of the 2006 season. |

Not a stellar touchdown producer but he contributes with yardage and consistency. I was hoping to get Antonio Gates but I missed him by one selection in the fourth round. |

I had just started looking at defenses after my last pick and was debating between Chicago and San Diego. A run on defenses took place before my pick so it made the decision much easier. |

Mark Clayton is the big play wide receiver the Ravens really needed. He has steadily improved his game and with a little bit more consistency he will be a top 15-20 wide receiver in the NFL. |

A tenacious runner with a nose for the endzone. Will split time with Julius Jones but should end up with more touchdowns. |

With Detroit running three wide receiver sets, Tatum Bell fits in with the offense better than Kevin Jones does. I'm not sure he will score more than 5 touchdowns but he should compile 1,200-1,400 all purpose yards. |

This was just a low risk, high reward pick in the unlikely circumstance of Larry Johnson and the Chiefs not reaching a contract agreement. |
