Here were the round-by-round results, in case you want to criticize any of us:
So, there you have it! Who do you think comes out on top? What do you guys think about my man Adrian Fedkiw and all his COWBOY Love? What about Candis with her 16th round pick of Matt Stafford?
I will keep everyone posted as the weeks go on and let everyone know who is rising to the top. Good luck to everyone in Week 1! And, of course, join our Triple Threat Fantasy Football challenge and pick 1 QB, 1 RB and 1 WR each week for your chance at a grand prize at the end of the season.
As always, you can stop by my Facebook page (Fantasy Sports Addiction) or tweet me (@TCutillo23) for questions or some nice fantasy debates. I can also be heard weekly via the internet stream live at WENG RADIO every Monday at 4:00 P.M. ET for a weekend sports wrap. But most importantly, you can catch me here at Pi!
