LOL at this draft recap:

Draft Summary
Some people get the first pick and promptly blow it. Not this Earl Steven's World though, they took the top pick in the draft and built a formidable fantasy squad. Their drafting skills paved the way for a projected first place finish in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 10-3-0 (1,553 points). They wanted to shore up any RB concerns early, using three of their first five draft picks to draft RBs Le'Veon Bell (first round), Lamar Miller (third round), and Arian Foster (fourth round). They landed the bottom group of WRs in the league, as they have Alshon Jeffery, Eric Decker, and Leonard Hankerson.

Looks like somebody did their homework. With a draft like that, you could nominate yourself for the Toyota Hall Of Fame with your eyes closed. Go on, we dare you.

This is a every body get a participation trophy summary. Don't let James Harrison see it.

Despite an Exciting Set of WRs, Vegas Baby Would Have Done Better if They Drafted Good Players


B-


Draft Summary

If Vegas Baby handles adversity during the season the way they did in this draft, it's going to be a long year. After receiving the 10th overall pick they were clearly rattled, which was made evident by their draft performance. As a result, they are projected to finish ninth in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 5-8-0 (1,438 points). They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (first round), Andre Johnson (fourth round), and Keenan Allen (fifth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Vegas Baby will benefit. They are one of the highest-scoring groups of WRs in the league.

Not bad, but you've still got room for improvement. Becoming a Toyota Hall Of Famer would certainly qualify. Nominate yourself now.

Schedule

Week 11 is not looking like a fun one for fantasy football. Vegas Baby should look into the joys of scrapbooking, or bird-watching, or just anything that isn't fantasy football. It might not be pretty. They have three players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a harder-than-average schedule. In addition to having the fourth-most grueling overall schedule, Vegas Baby has the softest last four games of the season.

Grades for all teams

Earl Grade A

Some people get the first pick and promptly blow it. Not this Earl Steven's World though, they took the top pick in the draft and built a formidable fantasy squad. Their drafting skills paved the way for a projected first place finish in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 10-3-0 (1,553 points). They wanted to shore up any RB concerns early, using three of their first five draft picks to draft RBs Le'Veon Bell (first round), Lamar Miller (third round), and Arian Foster (fourth round). They landed the bottom group of WRs in the league, as they have Alshon Jeffery, Eric Decker, and Leonard Hankerson.



Eric Grade B+

Eric's Team delivered a solid draft performance, taking the third overall draft slot and turning it into a team with playoff potential. With an expected record of 7-6-0 (1,499 points), they're projected to finish sixth in SportsHoopla Cowboys League. They went with the SMU "Pony Express" draft strategy, loading up on three tailbacks in the first five rounds, selecting Eddie Lacy (first round), LeSean McCoy (second round), and Alfred Morris (fifth round). This group will have to produce in order for Eric's Team to have a good season, as they are the top group of RBs in the league.



RomotoDez Grade B+

Even Mel Kiper Jr. can't scowl at this draft performance. And he even has a scowl when he's smiling. Despite a late draft pick, RomotoDez46 assembled a team that is projected to finish third in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 9-4-0 (1,507 points). They stocked up on pass-catching weapons early on, using three of their first five selections to pick up WRs Randall Cobb (second round), Brandin Cooks (third round), and Amari Cooper (fourth round). They put together one of the highest-scoring groups of RBs in the league, as they added Jamaal Charles, LeGarrette Blount, Jonathan Stewart, and Duke Johnson Jr. to their roster.



Will Grade B

WilltheThrill put together an underrated roster that might not dominate week in and week out, but will be firmly entrenched in a playoff spot by season's end. They're projected to finish the season with an 8-5-0 (1,469) record in SportsHoopla Cowboys League, which will be good enough for fourth. They didn't target any one position early, selecting QB Matt Ryan (54th overall), RB Frank Gore (30th), WR Antonio Brown (6th), and TE Greg Olsen (43rd) within the first five rounds. They ended up with the highest-scoring group of WRs in the league, as they added Brown, A.J. Green, Allen Robinson, and Eddie Royal.



BMurph Grade B

Picking seventh, Murph's Boys put together a team that is expected to finish the season in a favorable spot. There's something to be said for a GM who flipped a bottom of the barrel pick into a projected fifth-place finish in SportsHoopla Cowboys League (8-5-0, 1,455 points). With their first five picks, Murph's Boys focused on a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (18th overall), RBs Latavius Murray (31st) and T.J. Yeldon (42nd), and WRs Dez Bryant (7th) and Brandon Marshall (55th). They have one of the bottom RB duos in the league, as they have Isaiah Crowell and Murray on the roster.


Nutz Grade B

Nutz's Team isn't the best team in the league, but they aren't the worst, and there is something to be said for that. After selecting second overall, they are projected to finish in eighth in SportsHoopla Cowboys League at 5-8-0 (1,465 points). They went after guys who can tote the rock with their early picks, using three of their first five picks to scoop up RBs Adrian Peterson (first round), Justin Forsett (second round), and Joseph Randle (fourth round). They landed the worst QB duo in the league, as they have Cam Newton and Jay Cutler on the roster.



Carl Grade B

This draft by Shango hit Carl Sr was like a finely tuned Peyton Manning-led offense, with all the pieces falling into place. Just like Peyton's offense, Shango hit Carl Sr is expected to score a lot of points this season and finish second in SportsHoopla Cowboys League at 10-3-0 (1,480 points). They aimed for having a roster with balance throughout, taking QB Philip Rivers (60th overall), RBs Jeremy Hill (13th) and Carlos Hyde (36th), and WRs Calvin Johnson (12th) and Emmanuel Sanders (37th). They put together the lowest-scoring QB combo in the league, as they added Rivers and Carson Palmer.


Manster Grade B-

If Vegas Baby handles adversity during the season the way they did in this draft, it's going to be a long year. After receiving the 10th overall pick they were clearly rattled, which was made evident by their draft performance. As a result, they are projected to finish ninth in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 5-8-0 (1,438 points). They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (first round), Andre Johnson (fourth round), and Keenan Allen (fifth round). If these guys can do what they're expected to do, Vegas Baby will benefit. They are one of the highest-scoring groups of WRs in the league.


Chi Ham Grade C+

While this draft by Chi*Ham didn't exactly set the world on fire, it didn't destroy their playoff aspirations either. They are expected to be in the mix for a playoff spot with a projected seventh-place finish in SportsHoopla Cowboys League at 6-7-0 (1,430 points). They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Drew Brees (32nd overall), RB Ameer Abdullah (41st), WR Julio Jones (17th), and TE Rob Gronkowski (8th) within the first five rounds. They ended up with the lowest-scoring group of RBs in the league, as they have Doug Martin, Abdullah, and Christine Michael to lead the way.


PE1 Grade C+

If ncmalko1's Team handles adversity during the season the way they did in this draft, it's going to be a long year. After receiving the 11th overall pick they were clearly rattled, which was made evident by their draft performance. As a result, they are projected to finish 10th in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 4-9-0 (1,423 points). With their first five picks, ncmalko1's Team aimed for balance, selecting QB Peyton Manning (38th overall), RBs DeMarco Murray (11th) and Melvin Gordon (35th), and WRs Demaryius Thomas (14th) and DeSean Jackson (59th). They landed the bottom QB duo in the league, as they added Manning and Andy Dalton to their squad.

PDay Grade C

What's important PDay's Team is that you have fun, regardless of the final score. Like that quote from Vince Lombardi, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing." Oh wait no, that's not the right quote for this. Turns out there aren't many quotes about having fun and losing, so let's just get to the projections. PDay's Team is expected to finish 12th in SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 3-10-0 (1,381 points). They aimed for having a roster with balance throughout, taking QB Ben Roethlisberger (45th overall), RBs Marshawn Lynch (4th) and Chris Ivory (52nd), and WRs Mike Evans (21st) and DeAndre Hopkins (28th). They landed one of the bottom groups of RBs in the league, as they have Lynch, Ivory, Bishop Sankey, and Alfred Blue on their team.


Ford Grade C

As Ricky Bobby's dad once told him, "If you ain't first you're last." FM84 really took that message to heart as they're projected to finish near the bottom of SportsHoopla Cowboys League with a record of 3-10-0 (1,391). While they'll try to blame their poor season on the bad draft slot, the other GMs will know FM84 simply just dropped the ball. They focused on having a balanced offensive attack, selecting QB Andrew Luck (9th overall), RB Matt Forte (16th), WR Davante Adams (40th), and TE Jimmy Graham (33rd) within the first five rounds. They have the worst group of WRs in the league, as they have Jeremy Maclin, Adams, Nelson Agholor, and Mike Wallace for their rotation.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

It only gave Carl a B, but has him going 10-3. Not sure what that's all about.

 

[Manster7588]

It only gave Carl a B, but has him going 10-3. Not sure what that's all about.

And Eric got a B+ with a projected 7-6 record. Either Mel Kiper workes for yahoo or yahoo is drunk.

 

[es4m11]

I'm pretty happy with my team. A little lite at WR, but loaded at RB. And if Wilson can duplicate his performance from last year I'll be in contention. Really need Steve Smith to turn back the clock.

Good luck to you guys.

 

[es4m11]

And Eric got a B+ with a projected 7-6 record. Either Mel Kiper workes for yahoo or yahoo is drunk.

7-6 and projected to score the third most points. These grades are nothing but fun.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

well if you look at the whole analysis, the schedule is already made out. Maybe it has the predictions for each week already calculated. Maybe Eric is losing 100-99 and Carl is winning 78-77. Just a thought and yes it is fun and a lot of luck.

 

[Manster7588]

7-6 and projected to score the third most points. These grades are nothing but fun.

Yep but I wanted a good grade. Personally I like my team.

 

[fordman84]

I love my team, and love that I got a bad grade. More often than not the guys that win the preseason grading do worst in the actual games. Yahoo hasn't quite figured that part out. My WR's suck, but I'm working on that

 

[CarlSr]

It only gave Carl a B, but has him going 10-3. Not sure what that's all about.

I guess Yahoo really hates my QBs. I thought I could have done worse.

 

[Eastbay]

Good luck to you guys.

I am thin @ RB, heavy @ WR. Maybe we can make a deal....

 

[es4m11]

I am thin @ RB, heavy @ WR. Maybe we can make a deal....

You have 3 guys I would be interested in trading for. Jones, Gronk, Tate - in that order.

 

[Eastbay]

You have 3 guys I would be interested in trading for. Jones, Gronk, Tate - in that order.

You must be willing to part ways with Eddie Lacy

 

[jarntt]

Without looking at who got what, in what round did PE1 take Ertz? 4th or 5th?

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

ManSter have you heard anything from TwisT. Wondering how he is doing?
