Look KGboss, not everyone achieves the "above" in "above average," it has to be earned. Just be happy being an average GM, and maybe with a little hard work and a better draft next season, your team will reach that milestone. KGboss didn't kill their playoff aspirations with this draft, but they'll have to do some extra work to get there. For now, they're projected to finish in ninth-place in RealGM New England VI League at 6-7-0 (1,799 points). They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Peyton Manning (12th overall), RB Giovani Bernard (17th), WR Larry Fitzgerald (40th), and TE Greg Olsen (68th) within the first five rounds. They ended up with one of the highest-scoring QB combos in the league, as they added Manning and Jake Locker to their squad.
Week 4 might require some artful managing from KGboss. They have six 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 tougher-than-average slate. KGboss has the opportunity to come out firing, as the first four games of their season are projected to be less difficult than the league average.
Draft Notes
-
Asset Management
KGboss is loaded at TE and DEF. Could they be willing to leverage some of that talent and listen to trade offers from other teams in RealGM New England VI League?
-
Risky Business
It appears that KGboss likes to gamble, as they took chances on eight volatile selections.
-
The Bargain Whisperer
KGboss was hunting for deals throughout the draft, snapping up four steals in the first 12 rounds (including Kansas City, Steve Smith Sr., and LeGarrette Blount).
-
A Low Floor, but a High Ceiling?
KGboss nabbed a sleeper in Jake Locker with pick No. 269.
-
KGboss Went All YOLO Here
Grabbing Devin McCourty at pick 180 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. McCourty is owned on just a few rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.
-
Basic Math is Optional
Michael Vick once claimed "I have two weapons; my arms, my legs and my brain.” With 401 projected rushing yards, Johnny Manziel can channel his inner Vick to help KGboss this year.
Player Analysis
-
- Peyton Manning, QB
- Round 1, Pick 12
Which Do You Want First, the Good News or the Bad?Despite being an above-average player at his position, the selection of Peyton Manning had less value than any other pick of the round.
-
- L. Fitzgerald, WR
- Round 3, Pick 40
Defensive Coordinators Plan Specifically for FitzgeraldLarry Fitzgerald is expected to reach paydirt 8.3 times, placing him 10th in the NFL in projected receiving TDs.
-
- Greg Olsen, TE
- Round 5, Pick 68
Haters Gonna HateThe rest of RealGM New England VI League overlooked a gem, and KGboss made the swaggiest pick of the round by grabbing Greg Olsen.
-
- Kyle Rudolph, TE
- Round 6, Pick 73
Was the 73rd Pick the Right Time for Kyle Rudolph?KGboss apparently believes it is. The Vikings' tight end is projected to put up 161 points this year, after only netting 80 last year.
-
- Mike Evans, WR
- Round 7, Pick 96
Taking a ChanceWith their seventh-round pick, KGboss threw caution to the wind. They took Mike Evans at pick number 96 despite an ADP of 110.2 across all Yahoo! leagues.
Best Available
WR and RB are projected to be the weakest units for KGboss.

How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."
