2013 Royale with Cheese Draft: A recap

The first Royale with Cheese Draft party was a huge success. Huge thanks to Jeremy and Katie for throwing it (and for getting the awesome themed decorations!) and thanks to everyone who was able to come.

If you weren't able to come, I hope this post entices you to come next year.

Nine members of Royale with Cheese showed up. Two more joined us in the online draft. We had beer, meatballs, burgers, beer, hot dogs, chips, beer, spinach artichoke dip and tater tots. Oh yeah, and beer. It was great getting everyone together. But things got very quiet once the draft started.

Here were the highlights:

• First overall pick: RB Adrian Peterson, Vikings - Dolphins of Old
• Last overall pick: RB Mike Goodson, Jets - Blaupunkt
• First kicker selected: Round 5 (57th overall) Justin Tucker, Ravens - Dolphins of Old
• First defense selected: Round 2 (15th overall!!) Seattle Seahawks - Blaupunkt
• First player drafted to suffer a major injury (I think): Round 14 (183rd overall) TE Dustin Keller, Jets - Blaupunkt
• First team to draft Mike Vick: iwishiwouldhaveplayedtuba - Round 7 (92nd overall) ... That's what happens when you autopick.
• First team to draft Tony Romo: Taking it to the next level - Round 6 (73rd overall) ... See above.
• Teams that drafted four or more RBs in a league with just one dedicated RB spot: A lot more than I expected. We'll see how that works for y'all.

If you haven't already, go to the league website to check out your roster. It's never too early to start adding and dropping. Or proposing trades.

Thanks again to everyone who took part in the draft and especially Katie and Jeremy for hosting. Now let's get ready for the season.
