Okay folks lets see them Draft Recaps I'll start it off
WITH SOME SHREWD PICKS, STEEL CITY ROCKER LOOKS TO ESCAPE THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK Draft Grade C+ Proj Record 4-10 Proj Finish 7 DRAFT SUMMARY Steel City Rocker had the second overall pick in the draft, delivering a roster that looks to contend. They were careful to balance their roster from the beginning, selecting a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers with their first five picks. By the time all the picks were in, Steel City Rocker ended up with one of the best combos of quarterbacks in the league.
Steel City Rocker hedged their bets by scooping up Alexander Mattison in the 15th round to back up Dalvin Cook, his Minnesota Vikings teammate (a 1st-round selection). Steel City Rocker adhered to fantasy tradition, selecting a pair of running backs with their first two picks (Dalvin Cook and Clyde Edwards-Helaire). In the 8th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Robby Anderson was selected at pick number 79 versus an ADP of 110.8 across all NFL.com leagues.

Here's my son's
AFTER A FEW SHREWD PICKS, LORD STANDLEY LOOKS TO MAKE A STATEMENT THIS SEASON Draft Grade D Proj Record 1-13 Proj Finish 10 DRAFT SUMMARY Expected to finish last in NFFL the league, expectations may be tempered for Lord Standley. They were unable to capitalize on the first overall pick and will be firmly entrenched in an underdog role this season. They didn't overload at any one position early on, instead focusing on balance by drafting a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end in their first four picks. By the end of the draft, Lord Standley landed a foursome of wide receivers with the most room for improvement.
In the 6th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Javonte Williams was selected at pick number 60 versus an ADP of 95.9 across all NFL.com leagues. With three ADP-based steals (Chase Claypool, the Steelers Defense, and Daniel Carlson), some shrewd moves were made throughout the draft. The choice of Tevin Coleman with the 160th pick represented the final-round selection with the fewest projected points.

MONKEYING AROUND ESTABLISHES THE GROUND GAME Draft Grade A Proj Record 10-4 Proj Finish 3 DRAFT SUMMARY When a bottom-half draft slot yields top-half results, that's the sign of a focused GM. Such was the case with Monkeying around, which flipped their seventh overall pick into a projected third-place finish in NFFL the league. They loaded up on ball-carriers early and often, picking up running backs with each of their first three picks. Going hand-in-hand with that early investment, Monkeying around secured the highest-scoring foursome of running backs in the league.
Monkeying around might be interested in shopping a RB to upgrade in other areas. Their fourth-ranked RB, Antonio Gibson, is projected to be better than the league average at his position. In the 8th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Robert Tonyan was selected at pick number 74 versus an ADP of 103.9 across all NFL.com leagues. Austin Ekeler can hurt opponents with his hands as well as his feet. He ranks first among RBs in projected receiving yards with 712.

BUILT AROUND AN AMAZING GROUP OF RUNNING BACKS, DIVEBITCH HOPES TO OUTPERFORM A CROWDED FIELD Draft Grade B Proj Record 5-9 Proj Finish 6 DRAFT SUMMARY Divebitch had the fourth overall pick in the draft, putting together a roster that hopes to compete. They went all-in on running backs early, using their first three selections to add players at that position. Going hand-in-hand with that early investment, Divebitch secured the highest-scoring threesome of running backs in the league.
According to ADP, it was a bit of a reach selecting Kenyan Drake in the 8th round (77th overall pick versus an ADP of 117.0 across all NFL.com leagues). Christian McCaffrey can hurt opponents with his hands as well as his feet. He ranks third among RBs in projected receiving yards with 675. MY TEAM STRENGTHS STRENGTHS The team's top 3 RBs, led by Christian McCaffrey, rank as the best unit in the league.

lmao that Mr. Lacy picked TE D Waller 1st round (3rd overall). That had to be an accident. But he & the Mrs. were at the draft, right? Anyway, I couldn't be happier that McCaffrey fell in my lap because of it. I think my roster is almost flawless, right down to the kicker - even Gesicki is projected an increased workload. So 6th place my ass, barring a slew of injuries (biggest worry is Dak).
EDIT: Mr. Lacy also took Josh Allen in the 2nd round (18th overall). Even autodraft would not do that, right? lol

Even autodraft would not do that, right? lol Yes both were there. Mr.Lacy took his 1st pick down to the wire which may explain why D.Waller was picked or maybe that was by design, it definitely had an impact on the 1st round. His 1st five picks had me wondering WTH is he doing. Everyone views players different, that being said he knows the settings & that the RB's are valued above other positions. I was seriously thinking about taking McCaffrey but had doubts because of the injuries he's had that's why I took D.Cook. I really like the 1st five picks you made and was hoping that N.Harris would fall farther down in the 2nd round. I don't put much into those recaps, I've had good grades an then had a bad season, seems like some of my lower graded teams did much better.

I thought my 1st five picks were pretty good, overall I was happy with my draft except for the auto pick on the kicker & then that auto pick of A.Mattison which I would not have made.

I don't put much into those recaps, I've had good grades an then had a bad season, seems like some of my lower graded teams did much better. I don't blame you. A little worried about McCaffrey too. Dalvin Cook has been healthy, and while not the receiver McCaffrey is, he's getting all the carries, .5 cha-ching. But at 4th overall, I almost passed out that he was available. I was like 'there's gotta be a mistake, am I dreaming?'. lol There is no TE, not even Kelce worth taking in the 1st round, IMHO. Waller is a late 3rd rounder at best. There is zero reason to assume he'll match his 2020 production. At least Kelce has a longer history. I thought my 1st five picks were pretty good, overall I was happy with my draft except for the auto pick on the kicker & then that auto pick of A.Mattison which I would not have made. Last 3 picks are gonna be garbage or flyers anyway. Blankie, I worry about them even having opportunities for a FG. But Ks and DEFs are streamed, even sometimes when they are elite. Apparently, no one but me seems to think the Broncos D will do anything, so I should've waited til last round. But yeah, your first 5 were spot on, and that's where it counts.

AFTER SOME EARLY GAMBLES, PACKDOG ASPIRES TO OUTSMART THE COMPETITION Draft Grade B Proj Record 3-11 Proj Finish 8 DRAFT SUMMARY Following the last overall pick in the draft, Packdog is forecasted to finish eighth in NFFL the league. They're intent on proving the talking heads wrong, however. They went after ball carriers early, using three of their first four selections on running backs. In conjunction with that drafting strategy, Packdog ended up with a better-than-average foursome of running backs.
Packdog might be interested in shopping a RB to upgrade in other areas. Their fourth-ranked RB, J.K. Dobbins, is projected to be better than the league average at his position. A fantasy traditionalist, Packdog opted for running backs with their first two selections (Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor). According to ADP, it was a bit of a reach selecting Ronald Jones in the 10th round (91st overall pick versus an ADP of 131.2 across all NFL.com leagues).
B but 3-11 and 8th place. similar to last year and that worked out ok for me. don't think their draft grades/projections can properly compute the scoring settings

BUILT AROUND A FANTASTIC POOL OF WIDEOUTS, DEADLY PISTOLS LOOKS TO HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH CAMPAIGN
Draft Grade A Proj Record 9-5 Proj Finish 4
DRAFT SUMMARY When a bottom-half draft slot yields top-half results, that's the sign of an adept GM. Such was the case with Deadly Pistols, which flipped their ninth overall pick into an expected fourth-place finish in NFFL the league. They jumped on ball-carriers early, using three of their first five picks to acquire running backs. At another spot in the lineup, Deadly Pistols was able to land the best pair of quarterbacks in the league.
In the 10th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as A.J. Dillon was selected at pick number 92 versus an ADP of 128.6 across all NFL.com leagues. Kyler Murray can deliver wins with his arm and his legs. With 745 projected rushing yards, he ranks third among QBs in that category. Davante Adams will bring extra value if NFFL the league has a PPR format, as he's projected to rank second in the NFL with 128 receptions.

Was a little surprised to see you take 4 straight WR's with picks 6-9. Overall you did a nice job of putting your roster together.

Yeah, 4 straight WR's in those rounds was probably a mistake, because I needed some better depth at RB in case one of my three go down. Suppose knowing we must start 3 Wr's influenced my decision making process there.

Look at the guys ahead of him. Gaskin, Swift 6th, it's a total joke. NFL site can't be trusted. That's just one reason I keep (or should I say 'grateful for') my Yahoo league. The projections and player updates are phenomenal.

It can't be both ways. And yeah, the software has never given credit to kicker and DEF settings either. So, not certain it's looking at 1.5 PPR. But you're right, he had like 22 catches for a little over 100 yds last year. Still, #18 vs. #1 last year? A whopping 378 attempts. Jeez, has that ever been done before? But you're in my NFL Big Cheesy league, the projections are similar to Jeffrey's league. But they are (understandably) not predicting the 2k+ yds for Henry.

I just saw a thing on face book where Darren Waller was thanking god for turning his life around and he is celebrating his fourth year of sobriety today. Says it changed his life and allowed him to be who he is today. I respect the kid even more now. Even though he is a hated Raider. haha.
