I've spent the past few days devouring Fantasy Draft publications, researching ADP's and scouring PFT.com for news on McGahee's knee or Gates' foot.  I haven't studied this hard since college.  My first draft is this afternoon and I'm pretty excited.  My son is starting school Monday, Phelps is smashing world records, the cold war is re-igniting, my house is worth less than it was 2 years ago and I just paid $70 to fill up my car.  But what am I thinking about?

Hmmm...how much of a drop off will Brady have?  What's up with his foot?  Should I take him Top 10 of the opportunity presents itself?

What about Manning?  Is his knee really healed?  Why hasn't he been on TV or been seen in public?

Which Rookie RB will have the most impact???  I mean McFadden's a stud but what about Mendenhall's Goal Line carries and John Stewart in Carolina?  Don't even get me started on Matt Forte.

Will my picks have good value....and what does that mean? 

God I hope I don't try to draft someone off the board....

I really like a couple Steeler players - how do I reconcile that with my love of the Orange and Black???  Is drafting Big Ben cheating on Carson if I get Ben at "Good Value?"

I'm geeking out over here.  Last year I drafted Marvin Harrison and Rudi Johnson so I know my judgement is suspect.  I think I might do a Costanza this year.  I am going to do the opposite of what my instincts tell me to do!!!!  Its Genius!!!

Championship!
