I wanted Roddy there, but I figured I get him in the 4th. Once the 4th came around, I was on the road and forgot about him. When I texted Gyno back to hold off on Cruz, it was too late.

Im just giving you a hard time, there really aren't any bad teams. I have never seen parity like this in a draft before, honestly. Usually I can pick a few teams to slam but I really couldn't this time around.

In the top 6 format, Peyton Manning is a huge piece to have. You will be fine.

1. Drew Orleans

I like how he got value all the way around. Antonio Brown was a great one to pair with Forte. Reggie Bush & Welker are viable PPR players. Amendola has big upside if he stays healthy. Brady will rebound. Vernon Davis at TE. Top to bottom, the best team as of now.


2. BHAM


I really like the Randall Cobb pick, I think he has a huge year. Leveon Bell & McCoy are a great PPR pair at RB. Ryan Matthews was a steal based on what he did last year. Im buying Cordarelle too, I think he emerges. Riley Cooper is a nice sleeper in 14', imo. If RG3 rebounds, this team has no weakness outside of TE.


3. Team Dro

At 3 is where it gets murky for me. This team potentially could have a huge big 3, in Stafford, ARian, and Calvin Johnson. I think Richardson rebounds too. If Maclin can stay healthy, he has WR1 potential. Julius Thomas at TE looks to build on his great 13'. I dont think his bench fills out well besides Terrence Williams, but the starters are good.


4. GMoney


If you're in love with players that used to be studs, but are still good, this is your team. If he gets the Marshawn Lynch of the last few years, you're looking at Peyton, Lynch, and then 4 really solid(not great) options. Cruz, Edelman, Boldin, & Mike Wallace. If CLE leans on JOrdan Cameron like they did last year, he may go over 1k yards.


5. Lester Earl


already posted why


6. Big Gyne


I feel like he is just steady all around. I share his sentiments over Kaep. Poised for a big year. I feel like he was able to nab a few guys people just forgot about. Roddy White? Getting older but still has big potential. Jeremy Hill is bound to get carries in Cincy. Tavon Austin has a ton of upside. Hakeem Nicks, Stevie Johnson...former really good WRs in good situations. Top to bottom, tons of value.

7. PortCity


If Luck is truly the stud i think he is, he should take the next step this year. Murray is a guy that always scares me, but he shows out when healthy. I dont love Keenan Allen or Hilton, but they are solid. And like Gyno, Port was able to put together a pretty damn good bench of proven guy, and ones with upsdie.


8. Team CE


I cant ignore this team anymore. It has the chance to be really good, but at the moment im not in love with the RB situation. Dont tell the feminists, but i really like Ray Rice this year. He can't just be that bad overnight, can he? Kendall Wright is solid, and Hopkins could be a big sleeper in year 2. I thought the Robert Woods pick was solid.

9. Team Tots

Maybe the most intriguing team to me. Is Nick Foles and the Eagles for real? Toby Gerhart? In JAX? White power! CAn Gronk and Harvin stay healthy? Will Flyod over take Fitz? Can he get anything for Rivers? Tons of upside here. I just dont know at the moment.


10. Mr WIseguy

It really is hard ranking a team like this so low. I like Rodgers and the RB combination, but the WR's(based on last year) are meh. HOWEVER, i could see both of those guys rebounding. Joique fills the stat line with catches, so he's solid. If someone can get the ball to Decker then it will ease my earlier concern. Im just curious how he will fit in with a shitty QB as the #1 option.


11. DCBJR


Again, I like his team too. I love Crabtree this year, and I think Matt Ryan bounces back. But I thought he lost value at the point in the draft when he took Stacy and Sankey. Really like the Ertz pick, and Bowe/Sanders are nice WR options on the bench.


12. LooseCannon

Not the worst team talent wise, just the most questions. Cam Newton with no WRs? WTF is Belichik going to do with Ridley? Has age caught up with SJax and Colston? With that being said, Newton will prob keep him afloat with his running. Jimmy Graham is a stud, and Andre Johnson is still a baller. If he gets anything from Ridley or SJax, then obviously this team is much better than 12. But right now, a lot of my rankings depend on who has the most question marks,

3. Drew Orleans
Likes: This is obviously not his 1st go-round in a PPR format. Forte, Bush, Brown, Welker.. PPR stalwarts. Vernon Davis is steady, a shame his talent has been somewhat wasted in SF. Could be on Graham's level if he was the focal point of that offense.
Dislikes: The only question mark in my mind is will Brady bounce back? It couldn’t get much worse, so I expect a regression to the mean, which is all Drew really needs out of his QB spot.
Overall: Solid squad for a PPR. Much lower ranked if formats were changed, smart drafting by Drew. Avg. QB play will get him in the playoffs, sky's the limit if Brady bounces back for real. Draft Grade: B+

I actually like your assement. High upside is what I am shooting for. In a points league, all I need is a couple of the high upside plays to hit and I'm golden.

I'm missing Knile Davis...was wondering why I didn't have to drop anyone when I picked up Quizz earlier.

2. PCT
Likes: Port did work! Must have had his kids or wife drafting for him while he was sick. Green, Allen and Hilton form a studly WR corps. Also a good job backing them up with both proven vets and high upside young guns. I’m also high on Demarco, Luck and Olsen this year.

Dislikes: RB2 is the only real question mark for me. Lamar Miller is not the answer in my opinion, but I guess I could see the post-hype sleeper appeal. Between LM, Tate Moreno I’m sure he’ll make it work.

Overall: Maybe it’s a personal preference thing, but I see this as one of the teams to beat. If his options don’t work out at RB2, he can always work the wire. Good job Port, not that you need to hear that from me. Draft Grade: A-
