Learning to handle success will be the biggest obstacle for Da Beers, as they figure to be at the top of the standings all season. They are expected to go 13-0-0 (2,629 points) and finish in first-place in College Bowl X League. They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Aaron Rodgers (21st overall), RB Matt Forte (4th), WR Keenan Allen (28th), and TE Jimmy Graham (9th) within the first five rounds. They have the most prolific group of RBs in the league, as they added Forte, DeMarco Murray, and Le'Veon Bell.
Da Beers should do pretty much anything other than watch football during Week 7. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Looking at the entire season, they have the least difficult schedule. Corresponding with the easiest overall schedule, Da Beers also has the league's easiest first four games and second-softest last four games of the season.

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.
