Last night close to 20 of my buddies all came over and we had a live draft using one of those boards you can order online. Granted the process was a little more drawn out and less efficient than simply doing the draft online but we had a really good time doing it and I guess that’s all that matters.
Of course w/ everyone needing to research out their roster it seemed like we had 2 laptops setup for every one person in attendance. It looked like a genuine nerdfest. To make things even nerdier, we had constructed a podium from cardboard that our commissioner JT had decorated up just for this occassion. By the time the Dominoes pizza delivery guy got here the tension in the room could be cut w/ a knife…
We went on our way of setting up our teams and researching out available talent. I was extremely pleased to get my normal QB Peyton Manning early in round one, I usually build my team around him if possible. Instead of using my laptop to track the players, I downloaded the iPhone app from ESPN’s fantasy draft kit and used that instead. I was amazed at how easy it was to navigate between players and find just the right ones to make up my lineup. Here are some screenshots of the players I selected for my roster. I know it’s late in the game for drafts but if you still haven’t had yours yet, be sure to checkout this app for the iPhone.
So far this has to be my favorite iPhone application of the week…
