You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Couple things. Hope you read this. Cause I still may need your assistance.
First of all, thanks for all the comments and write-ups on the players and teams. So far I have 10 pages of notes! I started to organize them and thought I might give Jim (who posts the articles on Fantasy Assembly) advanced notice that a possibly lengthy column would be coming about the draft.
That's where I kind of hit a snag. Jim expressed that "expert drafts don't really draw much" attention on web sites. So he made some suggestions which still center around our draft.
Using some of Jim's ideas, as well as what we've already accomplished in the draft, I was thinking of perhaps approaching it from this angle: Listing the players by position as they were drafted. This essentially makes the suicide draft "the unofficial ranking system for May."
And then use our comments to focus on reaches, steals and values at each position. (Well, the big 3, QB, RB, & WR) Personally, I like that we had differences of opinion on a few players. I think those conversations will be key.
Perhaps focusing on each of the 14 rounds might also be overkill.
Secondly, not related to the article, you guys forced me to really drill down to some of the players. As you know I'm not a big risk taker, especially with rookies. Not only does this help to analyze players, but it prepares you for the bigger drafts that we will be doing in a few months. Love this group.
As for my team...
QB - Bortles & Rivers
RB - JStew, Yeldon, Bernard, Sims
TE - Olsen
WR - Antonio Brown, Jeffery, Keenan Allen, Diggs, Torrey
D/ST - Jets
I'm sure not many of you will be overly thrilled with it. But this is a typical "Joe" type team.
One pick I wish I had back was Greg Olsen in the 4th. I realized later that he was drafted in the 5th round last year. So I did have a round to perhaps get a better RB. As I mentioned earlier, my plan going into this draft was to be knowingly weak at RB. Still, I think I landed some serviceable gems. I'm just thrilled I have 2 QB this year after the noodle-arm debacle last year.
Finally, I have both Monkey's and Bar's kicker picks. So I'll be ready for 3 in a row.
