(AP photo)</p></div>The first time I ran the 11Alive fantasy league &#8212; one of them, that is, because there&#8217;ve always been two &#8212; I lucked into the first draft position and got LT, then swung around the serpentine and got Brady and (I believe) Reggie Wayne coming the other way. It was a good year &#8212; the year Brady broke all those records. Good deal for someone just hoping for 25-30 touchdowns.</p>
<p>This year, I&#8217;m in two leagues: one run by show producer Rich Hardwick, and one co-run by meteorologist Chesley McNeil and reporter Matt Pearl. The draft order was picked yesterday.</p>
<p>I got last.</p>
<p>For the first time in my entire fantasy football career, I&#8217;m picking last in the first round.</p>
<p>According to ESPN&#8217;s most recent rankings, the 12th player to be taken should be Drew Brees. Ahead of him: Andre Johnson, Frank Gore, Larry Fitzgerald, LT, Chris Johnson, DeAngelo Williams, S-Jax, Matt Forte, MJD, Turner, and AP. Now, I&#8217;m not under any circumstances taking a QB in the first round. I&#8217;m sure someone will, but it won&#8217;t be me.</p>
<p>The question is: who will fall to me at the 12th (and 13th) picks? The people in this league know their stuff, so I&#8217;m not planning on seeing Johnson or Gore taken in the first round. If I want a top-flight RB in the first round, my pickings will likely be pretty slim &#8212; I&#8217;m thinking Steve Slaton, <i>maybe</i> Gore, Marion Barber, and Brandon Jacobs. Of those guys, I know which one I&#8217;m targeting.</p>
<p>My saving grace might be that there&#8217;s some Eagles fans playing in this league, so Westbrook is likely to go earlier in the first round than he probably should.</p>
<p>Once I draft both 11Alive leagues &#8212; the other one drafts Sunday afternoon &#8212; I&#8217;ll talk a little more about my draft strategy, but for now, I have to figure out who my 12th and 13th picks are going to be&#8230; and who I&#8217;m going to target when the serpentine comes back around to me at the end of the third.</p>
