An idiot that didn't bother to look at the bracket before coming back to make these two selections!

What a maroon!!
Yeah, I think if we had finished the draft a couple days earlier, there would have been a chance for people to trade around and strategically either load up in a portion of the bracket to guarantee getting someone through to the late rounds, or spread yourself out to make sure that your teams aren't matched up against one another. People can still make such trades, of course.
I'm very happy with the Terps getting through. When I drafted them, they were still a bubble long-shot, so at this point anything I get from them is gravy. Annoyingly though, I didn't pick them to get out of the first round over on my yahoo bracket...
