Shaun Alexander in '07 (i think it was '07)
took him 4th overall and started him maybe the first 3 weeks (Ouch) ended up starting Jacobs and Lynch the rest of the year. I knew nothing back then...

Same player way different result.Rice had never had a serious injury his whole career until I jinxed him. 1997 He got hurt the first game of the year and didnt play again until really late in the year and was shut down. My season went in the tanks week 1 and never got better.

First league: Not sure if it was 1995 or 1996, but I know the player was Jerome Bettis.
First 'serious' league: 1999- Ike Bruce

Jerry Rice. Had a choice between him and Emmitt. I think Smith scored 25 touchdowns that year. Of course Rice was awesome too though.

Jerry Rice - 1.09

Jerome Bettis - 5th overall pick in 1998. Steve McNair (RIP) in the 2nd and Marshall Faulk was my THIRD round pick for massive production.

Hmm, might have been Boomer - was back in '89. I do remember for sure 4 picks I made in draft.
Tim Worley his rookie year in round 4
Steven Baker the Touchdown maker in (I think) Round 7 or so. He didn't make too many touchdowns for me but he is the only player I've ever met who I owned on my fantasy team.
Erik McMillian - INTs were worth 2 and sacks were worth 2. This was my first draft so the whole "take the steady 2 or 4 points from a sack guy" didn't really enter into consideration. McMillan ended up returning 3 INTS for a touchdown that year and picked off 4 more I think.
Picked Ironhead Heyward in the last round (I debated between him and Hilliard). Cut him for Hilliard after week 1. That was the year Dalton went off for like 18 TDs.
Picked up Sterling Sharpe as a FA and he got me like 13 TDs.
Just remember another one: picked Andre Rison of the COLTS in like round 11 - it was either his rookie or 2nd year as well I think.
One regular football mag was all I had to go on. Pretty much all the whole room had to go on.

Hell, Everett was the 1 overall pick I think in my first draft.-QGBarry Sanders, 1991.
I recall having to wait for the Wednesday paper for the final MNF box score when the game ran late which was about 60% of the time.

Fuad Reveiz, 1993. No joke.

Back-to-back picks in 1997. I like to say I picked curtis Martin first, but the truth is, I picked Jeff Blake first immediately followed by Martin. Best part is, it was an initial draft for a keep 7 league and I did not keep Blake going into the next year.

Reggie Bush, 1.05 (2007). :X I selected Javon Walker in the 4th round, ahead of Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Anquan Boldin.

Wow - I was at CWRU then or shortly thereafter and we had another league with manual calculations..Stan Humphries - 1991 last pick of Round 1
Brett Favre 1996 1.04
I remember hooting and hollering like I just won the Lotto. I didn't think he'd be there at 4. Then a couple people laugh and they tell me Passing Td's are only worth 4 points. I was so pissed I didn't know that until after I took my QB. Favre still had a great year, but I would have went RB if I had known. FYI.... Always get the scoring system before your first draft. Every draft for that matter. I just assumed, a TD is 6 points, just like in the NFL.

1998 I drafted Terrell Davis with the first pick. I got Jerry Rice in either the second or the third round that year. I think it was the year after he was hurt and I got him cheap due to injury and his "old" age. I had no clue what I was doing and was just drafting straight out of a magazine.
