Draft Results and Analysis

With great pomp and circumstance, we held our draft at the Galway house last Tuesday. CO and Shim went to the casino instead, and of course were rewarded with the first and second picks. The draft played out like this:

Everyone had a different strategy and all the teams seem to be put together nicely. The team breakdown is as follows:

TEAM SHIM:

1 - Derrick, 12 - Luke, 13 - Paula, 24 - Camila, 25 - Big Eezie

Autopick Strategy: The degenerate gambler went to the casino during the draft. When we drew cards, obviously he got the first overall pick, just to piss the rest of us off. Here's the actual text conversation:

Tsav - Who do you want? You got the number one pick.

Shim - Is a trade available? If not get me CT and I'll go on auto pick.

Tsav - CT isn't officially on the roster so we can't draft him. Derrick, Brad, Abe are.

Shim - If there is scoring for winning at the end I want the bulldog, if not I want Brad.

So Derrick it was. And for not showing up we gave you the chick no one knows and fat Eric. Congrats!

TEAM CO:

2 - Ty, 11- Emily, 14 - Chet, 23 - Mandi, 26 - Shauvon

People He Likes Strategy...plus Shauvon: CO went with Shim to the casino, but at least he kept in touch during the draft and actually picked all of his players. Going with Ty at number 2 was a huge boom-or-bust type of move, but CO really likes his potential. Shauvon with his last pick turned out to be a steal, because she curses like a sailor.

TEAM DEROIDS:

3 - Brad, 10 - Ayiiia, 15 - Tori, 22 - Melinda, 27 - Vinny

Power Couple Strategy: Like pairing an all-star receiver with a pro-bowl quarterback, D went with the Fiorenzas like they were Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne hoping to double up on points. But neither of those were his best pick. On the clock at 22, D told us this:

D: Oh man, Melinda's still available? She's gonna go nuts now that she's divorced.

Tino: She's divorced!?

Tsav: No way! I would have heard about that.

*Google Melinda and Danny Real World divorce*

Tsav: Holy shit you're right.

D: Give her to me.

Tino: Good pick. Damn.

TEAM BEE TWICE:

4 - Jenn, 9 - Dunbar, 16 - Brandon, 21 - Katie, 28 - Theresa

Doesn't Know Who Anyone Is Strategy: BX2 is our very own "fresh meat" player, because he doesn't watch the shows and doesn't know who anyone is. Quotes for each of his picks were like this:

Jenn: "She's an ex-Raiders cheerleader? And she's bisexual? Yes please."

Dunbar: "I need a big workhorse."

Brandon: "Last black guy."

Katie: "Crazy chick who was in Playboy? Yes please. Does anyone have the Playboy she was in?"

Theresa: "She might get naked."

TEAM TSAVATAR:

5 - Abe, 8 - Cara Maria, 17 - Dan, 20 - Emilee, 29 - JD

Go Gray Team Strategy: Abe was the #1 player on my board, so getting him there at 5 was like a gift from heaven. I wanted to go Laurel at 8 and have the gray team best athletes on lock-down, but Tino swiped her and her massive thighs. I didn't know Dan was sober now, but that might work to my advantage actually. We'll see how it works for me putting all my eggs in one basket, but at least I know what to root for. C'mon gray team! Do better than you did in the Civil War!

TEAM TINO:

6 - Johnny Bananas, 7 - Laurel, 18 - Sarah, 19 - Tyler, 30 - Derek

Best Available Strategy: Getting the last pick had to be hard on Tino, but he did some quality work with it. Usually, gay guys are like tight ends and you want to wait on drafting them, but Tyler is like the Antonio Gates of gay guys. Getting the number one girl and the number one gay might be exactly what it takes to win the Mr. Beautiful Title Belt.

So those are the teams for this year's challenge. Week one is in the books, but as of right now we are still scoring it. I'll get the week one results up soon, so keep checking in. Peace.
