The 2010 Ship O' Fools Rookie Draft

The Ship O' Fools "Big Board"

How do you make a barbeque with a bunch of dudes even more awkward? Add a fantasy football draft, or worse: add a dynasty league fantasy football rookie draft.

Draft picks, defenses traded

Trading Incorporated is once again the center of the trade world. First, owner Phil L. acquired the #8 pick in the upcoming rookie draft by sending a 2012 second-round pick and Mike Sims-Walker to Adam M.'s F%CKOFF FANTASY FOOTBALL.

In an article for Fantasy Football Pharamcy, Ship O' Fools commissioner and Cellar Dwellars owner Scott W. made a case for why you might want to let another owner in your league get frustrated by Mike Shanahan this year when it comes to running backs. Here's an excerpt:

Trading Inc. is living up to its name

Trading Inc. has made another trade this week. In this one they have received the 8th pick in the first round of the rookie draft from Adam's team in return for WR Mike Sims-Walker and a 2012 2nd round pick. Trading Inc. now has the 5th and 8th picks in the draft and should be able to come away from this draft with some young talented players that will help his team for the future. (Or until he trades them in Week 5)

MJD traded; Charles, Austin part of deal

Maurice Jones-Drew is one of many marquee names involved in a monster deal today between the Cellar Dwellars and the Branzell Bombers.

Draft pick swap

Joe B. (Bryce Brothers) has made a trade to move up in the rookie draft. Joe has traded the 5th pick this year along with a first round pick for next year that originally belonged to Phil (Trading Inc.) and WR Derrick Mason to Phil for the chance to move up to the 4th pick in the draft. As you will remember Phil acquired the 4th pick earlier this week for Brandon Marshall.

This is a big move for Joe which insures that he will be able to get two of the top four players in this draft. That should help get his team more competitive very quickly.

Brandon Marshall traded

This week Trading Incorporated put Miami WR Brandon Marshall on the trading block. Today, the Cellar Dwellars bit, trading the #4 pick in the 2010 draft for Marshall. Trading Inc. turned right around and updated its trading block, offering up the following players for a quality QB, WR or RB:

Tom Brady, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs, Devin Hester, Wes Welker, Anthony Gonzalez, Lee Evans, Jerricho Cotchery, Mike Sims-Walker, Hines Ward, Owen Daniels, Greg Olsen, New England Patriots D.

Updated rosters: 8/4/10

Full rosters for all 10 teams as of August 4, 2010.

Chris Johnson on the trading block

Scott W., owner of the defending-champion Cellar Dwellars, has placed the consensus #1 ranked player in fantasy football on the trading block. Along with Chris Johnson, the Dwellars are offering the #4 pick in the upcoming Ship O' Fools rookie draft (scheduled for August 29) in an effort to secure a solid RB/WR combo or RB/draft pick combo.

Surprise, surprise: Trading Incorporated has a newly updated trading block

Trading Incorporated, owned by Phil the Trademaster, is offering up Felix Jones, Tashard Choice, Marion Barber, and/or Brandon Marshall for a top-flight QB, RB, or WR. He’s also interested in draft picks, although it’s unclear whether he’s willing to trade his picks or if he wants picks in return.
