The GM of Clint's Nice Team must be an angel, because this team looks like it fell from heaven. They were able to flip the 10th overall pick into an expected finish of first place with a record of 9-4-0 (1,475 points). With their first five picks, Clint's Nice Team aimed for balance, selecting QB Russell Wilson (58th overall), RBs Ezekiel Elliott (15th) and Christian McCaffrey (34th), and WRs Jordy Nelson (10th) and Terrelle Pryor Sr. (39th). They finished the draft with a legit set of RBs, as they have Elliott, Paul Perkins, McCaffrey, and Matt Forte on their roster.
Week 8 might require some artful managing from Clint's Nice Team. They have five players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the season from start to finish, they have the least challenging slate. Along with the easiest overall schedule, the first four games and last four games of the season are fairly average for Clint's Nice Team.

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.
