Analysis of Own Team:
- For the first time in a few years I started with highly competitive keepers and then got a very valuable pick at No. 4. The cornerstone of my roster are the two bellcow running backs. The idea will be to start them basically every week. At QB, I always prefer dual threat QBs. This year my quarterbacks are boom or bust types. By taking Wimbush in Round 4, I’m hoping to hit on two out of three of Murray, Robinson, and Wimbush. Obviously, wide receivers are my weaknesses. Tried to take a lot of them with the goal of hitting on a few late. My strategy is to take guys who are likely to be number one receivers on teams that will pass a decent amount and score some points (Oregon, Texas A&M and Vandy/Maryland to a lesser extent). Figuring out which WRs to start will be difficult. This is probably my best team going into the season since 2013 when injuries wrecked my squad.
Favorite Picks of Own Team:
- Round 17 – Jared Cornelius – Even though Arkansas is a SEC West team, their schedule is set up for some high scoring games. Its year one under Chad Morris so they likely won’t be efficient but some Arkansas WRs are going to put up numbers. Coming off a serious injury, it might not be Cornelius, but seems like he has the second best chance after Nance. If he is the guy, matchups with teams like Ole Miss and Texas A&M are set up for high scoring games.
- Round 11 – Kalija Lipscomb –Vandy is set up to throw a lot. Last year they tossed it around for almost 3000 yards in 12 games. Lipscomb should be the number 1 guy. I anticipate him being a starter for me for much of the season.
Least Favorite Picks of Own Team
- Round 2 – Shawn Robinson – I am happy to have him but was considering him vs LJ Scott. After seeing the rounds play out, I’m thinking I could have gone LJ Scott in Round 2 and gotten Shawn Robinson in Round 3 and then have three workhorse backs.
- Round 13 – Mike Weber – Not at all my type of pick. Don’t know when I can use him without an injury to Dobbins. Just felt the value was too good and thought he’d be gone.
Favorite of Other Team Picks
- Round 4 – Drain Bammaged – Jaylen Smith – One of my favorite picks of the draft. Missed a few games last season. Per game he put up number comparable to most any other receiver outside of Sills returning this year. Jackson’s scampers won’t be there this year. When watching Louisville, I’ve felt he was on a different level from anyone else they have.
- Round 4 – Waxy Frogs – Juwan Johnson – Just two picks after Smith is another receiver I like. He is set up to have a big year. The one touchdown season last year should be an anomaly. Target for lots of touchdowns this year on an offense that will still produce.
- Round 10 – Smurf Turfers – Greg Bell – Very surprised he made it to this point in the draft. Saw him more as a Round 7 guy. Husker fans have him as the RB most likely to get the majority of carries if anyone does. Schedule minimizes the value of this pick a bit as they play many tough defenses.
- Round 13 – Winsley’s Warriors – Jonathan Nance – Arkansas is going to throw quite a bit and someone is going to have to catch it. Unsure if it will be Nance but if it is, he’s a WR1 or WR2 in a middle round.
- Round 18 – Heisman Hopefuls – Soso Jamabo – Thought about taking him a couple of times. If Bolu went in Round 10, Jamabo should have gone before this point in the draft. Another player negatively impacted by a difficult schedule but there seems to be significant upside with this pick so late.
Honorable Mention: Round 2 – End Zone Divas – LJ Scott; Round 9 – Drunk Jocks – Ryan Finley; Round 12 – Smurf Turfers – JaTarvious Whitlow; Round 14 – Heisman Hopefuls – Alex Delton; Round 16 – End Zone Divas – Bennett Skowronek.
Least Favorite Picks of Other Teams:
- Round 3 – Winsley’s Warriors – Adrian Martinez – I sort of thought I liked this guy but more like in Round 7. With that schedule and the uncertainty of who wins the job, I don’t understand using an earlier 3rd round pick on him. Frost took two years to get going at UCF.
- Round 4 – Winsley’s Warriors – Nick Westbrook – Coming off an injury, Westbrook may have Brandon Dawkins throwing him balls. If Ramsey wins the job, I could see this working out.
- Round 5 – California Raisins – Tre Bryant – Some encouraging news recently on his health status but the best stories I see say he could factor into the Nebraska RB situation. Round 5 is no place for players who might factor into a running back situation. I thought he was a Round 15 guy.
- Round 5 – Orgy of Evil - Trevor Lawrence – Don’t see how he can be worth this pick. Even if he wins the job he won’t run enough and the defense is too stout to play high-scoring games.
- Round 8 – Drunk Jocks – James Williams – I have always been a critic of Wazzou RBs since Leach has been there and I will continue to be. The freshman is getting a lot of positive talk also.
Honorable Mention: Round 1 – Drain Bammaged – Tua Tagovailoa; Round 3 – Heisman Hopefuls – Tay Martin; Round 14 – California Raisins – Noah Fant; Round 14 – Drain Bammaged – Jake Fromm.
