Inspired by the fantasy football model of drafting a team of players from all

consider the teams we’re about to draft as “fantasy teams” of a
different sort. Namely, the VT team you might assemble in your fantasies. (No
comments from the peanut gallery about fantasies, please.)

Our drafters are Will Stewart and Chris Coleman. Each drafter will select one
