Fantasy Football Draft - The Toughest League in America

On Sunday, our fantasy football league held its draft...now some are probably thinking it is early, but that is the only day we were able to all meet...as we all get older, some now have families and it gets a bit harder to get a set day for the draft...

It is our 14th year of fantasy football and I will say, the other 7 guys that compete in this league are all "Ballers"...this is one tough assed league...it is also very racially and ethnically diverse...we have 3 African-Americans, 1 Puerto Rican, 1 Italian, 1 Jewish, 1 Irish, and 1 Greek Cypriot...

In our league you can start 2 quarterbacks...you can also start a variety of offenses such as 1 rb/4 wr, 2 rb/3 wr, 3 rb/2 wr, or 4 rb/1 wr...also, tight ends are considered the same as wide receivers...so that is why some people may have drafted 2 stud QBs or loaded up at one position...we go 20 rounds with 2 final speed rounds where the person has 5 seconds to fire off their pick...below is how the first 10 rounds went...please look over and give your thoughts...
