Oh no. Better grab a kicker and defense first then. You don’t wanna miss those

Got a few different players than what I've been getting. Overall pleased with what I have, would have liked a few players that got snatched before I could get them but that's how it goes. Now we wait for the Draft Recap to see what it says.

Now we wait for the Draft Recap to see what it says. I did this one quite bit differently. I never, ever, ever go for the hot TE. Kittle, one of the big 3 (but not fond of Garappolo), took him at 4.7, and really felt stupid, just goes against my grain. Just glad it looks like Zeke will be back week 1, or else I'm gonna feel even stupider. hehe Grades took several hours yesterday. ANyway, off to the Yahoo draft. I kinda dread the IDPs in terms of the draft client. See some of you there. EDIT: Draft client opens at 3:45 (15 min b4 draft).

Getting 1 of the 3 top TE's early is not stupid. Good move.

Getting 1 of the 3 top TE's early is not stupid. Good move. Agreed. I never do that. This year I got Kelce in both leagues. Hope it pays off

Think I drafted Royce Freeman 1st round last year at CTM (?), who all but faded into oblivion. EDIT: Yes, drafted at 1.6. How stupid. Thats because you buy into the hype.

Heres a first for me, lol I thought my draft kinda sucked. This shows how silly this crap is
Anchored by a Stacked Assembly of Wideouts, Cigar City Cyclones is Poised for a League Title Draft Grade Proj Record Proj Finish A 13-0 1 Draft Summary
Cigar City Cyclones should officially be on the Big Cheesy 11 radar after taking the third overall draft slot and assembling a team with playoff potential. They grabbed wide receivers early, using three of their first five picks to address that position. That early positional investment helped to yield the top foursome of wide receivers in the league.

BUILT FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP RUN, STEEL CITY ROCKER STOCKPILES RUNNING BACKS Draft Grade B Proj Record 10-3 Proj Finish 2 DRAFT SUMMARY After landing the first slot in the draft, Steel City Rocker assembled a roster that will cause plenty of trouble for their opponents this season. They loaded up on ball-carriers early, using three of their first five picks to acquire running backs. Going hand-in-hand with that early investment, Steel City Rocker secured the best foursome of running backs in the league.
Steel City Rocker adhered to fantasy tradition, selecting a pair of running backs with their first two picks (Saquon Barkley and Joe Mixon). In the 5th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as David Montgomery was selected at pick number 41 versus an ADP of 70.0 across all NFL.com leagues. Saquon Barkley can hurt opponents with his hands as well as his feet. He ranks third among RBs in projected receiving yards with 659.

Heres a first for me, lol I thought my draft kinda sucked. This shows how silly this crap is See that wasn't so hard now was it. Like I said take with a grain of salt it's more for shits & giggles. I don't think your draft sucked but I think you went a little too heavy on the WR's your group of RB's may hurt you in the end unless you can make some kind of trade to get another starting back.

Yeah that’s a more honest assessment. Unless Howard does well

Here's my sons draft grade.
With Some Shrewd Draft Picks, Rise Of The NorthStar Looks to Shock the League Draft Grade B Proj Record 3-10 Proj Finish 8 Draft Summary Rise Of The NorthStar has a golden opportunity to exceed expectations this season. They're forecasted to finish eighth in Big Cheesy 11. They added some running backs early, using three of their first five picks on ball-carriers. At another spot in the lineup, Rise Of The NorthStar was able to secure a foursome of wide receivers with the most room for improvement. Rise Of The NorthStar hedged their bets by scooping up Jaylen Samuels in the 12th round to back up James Conner, his Pittsburgh Steelers teammate (a 1st-round selection). A fantasy traditionalist, Rise Of The NorthStar opted for running backs with their first two selections (James Conner and Dalvin Cook). In the 10th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Matt Breida was selected at pick number 91 versus an ADP of 140.2 across all NFL.com leagues.

they hate me. They couldn't for the life of them figure out why I would draft Pollard in like the forteenth or whatever it was. Divebitch will find out. I have vision and the nfl wears bi-focals.

BUILT ON A QUALITY GROUP OF RBS, CRAIGSBOLTS HOPES TO SHOCK THE NAYSAYERS Draft Grade C+ Proj Record 2-11 Proj Finish 9 DRAFT SUMMARY Craigsbolts, who had the fifth overall pick, will be hoping to top modest projections. They added some running backs early, using four of their first five picks on ball-carriers. Elsewhere on the roster, Craigsbolts was able to land a pair of wide receivers with the most room for improvement.
According to ADP, it was a bit of a reach selecting Kenyan Drake in the 4th round (36th overall pick versus an ADP of 80.9 across all NFL.com leagues). Frank Gore is owned in less than 10% of all NFL.com leagues (1%). Perhaps he will reward Craigsbolts for their faith. Craigsbolts may know something no one else does, grabbing Tony Pollard, who is on a squad in less than 10% of all NFL.com leagues (8%). MY TEAM STRENGTHS STRENGTHS Robbie Gould is projected to be the fourth-best K in the league. Robbie Gould K - SF

In the 10th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Matt Breida was selected at pick number 91 versus an ADP of 140.2 across all NFL.com leagues. How did I also get a B, and projected 5th? Maybe the better question is how do you give a 'B' to someone projected 3-10 and finish 8th?!? lol WITH SOME GREAT EARLY PICKS, DIVEBITCH LOOKS TO FACTOR HEAVILY INTO THE PLAYOFFS Draft Grade B Proj Record 7-6 Proj Finish 5 DRAFT SUMMARY Divebitch finished with a solid, if unspectacular, draft performance, taking the fourth overall draft slot and delivering a team that is capable of reaching the postseason. They went after ball-carriers early, using three of their first five picks to acquire running backs. Elsewhere on the roster, Divebitch was able to secure a quartet of wide receivers with plenty of room to grow. According to ADP, it was a bit of a reach selecting Duke Johnson in the 5th round (44th overall pick versus an ADP of 123.5 across all NFL.com leagues). With three ADP-based steals (Matt Ryan, Justin Tucker, and the Broncos Defense), some shrewd moves were made throughout the draft. In terms of projected points, the best pick of the final round was secured by drafting Kirk Cousins at pick number 157. MY TEAM STRENGTHS STRENGTHS Matt Ryan is projected to be the third-best QB in the league. Matt Ryan QB - ATL It's kinda hilarious to mention I have 3 APD steals with 2 of them being DEF & K. For their information, Duke Johnson is not a 123 ADP. Maybe if the draft was last weekend, but everyone caught up but NFL. He's going in 6th round. So it was a small reach, not huge.

AFTER SOME DICEY SELECTIONS, PACKDOG WILL ATTEMPT TO LEAVE THE PACK BEHIND Draft Grade B Proj Record 4-9 Proj Finish 7 DRAFT SUMMARY After picking eighth overall, Packdog is projected to land in seventh place in Big Cheesy 11. Let's hope that prediction serves as bulletin board material. They loaded up on ball-carriers early, using four of their first five picks to acquire running backs. Corresponding with that strategy, Packdog landed a better-than-average quartet of running backs.
If other NFL.com users are right, David Njoku was a steal in the 11th round (108th overall pick versus an ADP of 92.0). In the 7th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as LeSean McCoy was selected at pick number 68 versus an ADP of 117.6 across all NFL.com leagues. Packdog had a strong finish, accumulating the most projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.
