It's been a hectic day. Just after wrapping up the 90-minute podcast with Adam Caplan and Greg Cosell, I went right to the first expert draft of the year. This is for Fantasy Sports Magazine, always the first draft of the year. I won this league last year, and I'm trying to repeat.
The scoring here is very typical, so all you need to know is that it was a PPR league. I drafted 3rd. I'll list the whole draft in a reply post, and Adam Caplan, who also participated in the draft. But here's my drafted team in the order ...
Just wanted to chime in here for those who check that I'll be participating in the first Expert Draft of the year tomorrow at 1pm ET. This is for Fantasy Sports Magazine, which is generally the first mag out each year. I will be posting the draft and my picks as the draft unfolds starting a little after 1pm.

Here are some quick thoughts so far on the NFL Draft. I'll be producing a full Post-Draft Stock Watch on Monday, and that will cover all players who've seen their stock rise or fall from the draft.

As the draft quickly approaches, we're trying to bang out as much of the magazine writeups as we possibly can, and I've just completed about the top-50 RBs. Of course, the draft will change a lot of things, so it's hard to rank any player for certain. We have also not yet plugged in projections, which can change things once you see the raw numbers. But I do have some rankings and comments on the top-50 guys now, and I'm pretty comfortable with this list, knowing it's very early.
So here's what I got at this early stage.

There's something to be said for first impressions, and when it comes to the NFL schedule, a first impression may be better than the alternative, which is paralysis by over-analysis. So when the schedule came out last night, I thought I'd give a fast glance at each team and come up with a quick first impression.
Keep in mind I'm not really looking at these in NFL terms, in term of wins and losses. I'm looking strictly from a fantasy perspective.
Here's what I got.
