I usually don't do these. But I had time this AM.
LEarl – Love Luck, Hill and Gronk on same team. Three big time players. His best WR going into the season is BMarshall and there isn’t much proven after that. C
SFP –There is Leveon Bell and a whole lot of mediocrity. Allen Robinson could be good and I think Steve Smith goes out with a bang. Mike Wallace and Wheaton have upside, but otherwise WR depth is nonexistent. I think Wilson at 13 was good value as well as Miller at 36. I have a personal bias against JStew, but the 21 for him may end up being the best part of your draft. Kelse is cool. C-
Thomas – Love Forte, Forsett and the potential of Randle. Megatron and Landry are a nice 1-2 at WR. Not sure about the wisdom of a $1 QB in Kaep when you could have held off on Eddie Royal and picked up a Romo or Stafford. C+
DC – Clams last second bidded me all night long. ALL NIGHT. This team is weird because DC spent a good bit of money on depth instead of top end talent, which is not a strategy I agree with. It’s like taking all of your picks from rounds 4-10 instead of 1-3 and 11-15 in a snake draft. I wanted Brees around 20. I like Brees and Stafford. I don’t like Alfred Morris. I think Gordon and Gurley could be a nasty combo once Gurley is playing but it’s more likely that one of the two doesn’t have as good of a season as a rookie as you hope. Spiller as a flex is meh. The WRs could be awesome or just ok. Evans, Cooper, M. Bryant. D
CWill – Got Bradford on a technicality at $3 (joking), which could be awesome value. Don’t like CJ Anderson for 49 but think Murray at 20 is good value. Overall an ok HB pair. Bernard may provide some depth. Cooks, Matthews and Edelman have some potential at WR. The Eagles season will have a lot to do with CWill’s fantasy season. C
Peyton – This team could be awesome. Ryan and Cutler at QB. Foster and Abdullah RB w Yeldon and Joique flex/backup. If Foster comes back to his old self this is a nasty stable of RBs. You can tell I am probably high on Abdullah. JJ and Dez are awesome top end WRs with some meh bench players of Decker, Fitz and Cruz. I think Witten at 3 is good value. Probably my favorite team of the league. B+.
DJ – Was done auctioning before everyone but ended up nominating longer than anyone for the same reason. Rodgers, McCoy, Beckham and Hilton are awesome. I thought 32 for Hopkins was high, but I thought a lot of WR prices were high. As long as the top four are do not get injured you should have a decent season. But there is zero depth. This is the opposite of Clams. It’s a boom or bust season. There is no in the middle. C-
Swam – Went all in on WRs, and I don’t like the two he spent most of his money on, which probably goes against what most people think. Manning paired with Thomas will win a top 6 or lose a top 6 a lot of weeks. I just don’t know about Graham, but 25 seems like decent value. His RBs leave a good bit to be desired. At the best projections, his RBs are the worst in the league and there is no depth. D
Frat – Love Big Ben at 11 and Dalton/Flacco reserved. This is probably close to being one of the more balanced teams from a starting lineup standpoint. Ingram, JC and Hyde at RB is a nice combo. A little thin at all positions, especially WR. C-
Earl – Got cheated out of Bradford and had to settle for Rivers and Tannehill. I think at $4 those are both good prices and decent QBs. Spent most money on WR w/ Brown and AJ Green with good depth in Agholor and Allen. RB is meh. Gore and Crowell are better than Swams combo of Ellington and Freeman, but not any other combo in the league. It’s a PPR league, so if the WRs pan out this should be a contender. C+
VKC – Like sCam at $1, but I think LEarl hit on his problems during the draft. If he throws for 15 or so TDs, and runs for another 10 he might be dead. However, getting him at 1 is good value. DeMarco at 35 is probably the steal of the league before the season starts. I think AP will be awesome this year. Rashad, Coleman and Mason are good depth. I don’t love Sanders and Adams, but I can live with them. I like Andre Johnson, but I’m not sure he is worth 24 this year. I’m not even sure when Gates can play. C

I had some rankings typed up but I probably better modify them so they won't be offensive.

Looks like a C grade = top 6.

I liked what I was reading, until I got to "C-". I agree I have depth issues. I love Big Ben. I am happy with starting RBs. I think my team's early season fate hinges on Alshon's health, but I like Charles Johnson and John Brown as replacements.

+1
Would have actually wound up with a startable WR1 with these prices

If anything our league is the tougher. More parity.

Yeah I didn't see any complete failures or automatic playoff teams. Team management will determine who wins our conference. The other conference probably has a few locks already because of the amount of scrubs.
