Draft Notes

    Here's hoping that there are enough balls to go around for the Baltimore Ravens, as jim pacholke's Team scooped up a couple of their WRs in the middle of the draft (Jeremy Maclin and Breshad Perriman).

  • Carrying the Load

    jim pacholke's Team has five above-average positions with RB and TE projected to lead the way.

  • Fantasy FĂștbol

    This is the American version, folks. jim pacholke's Team elected to go with two kickers, rather than adding depth at other positions.

  • It's How You Finish

    jim pacholke's Team must have had a motivational halftime speech, accumulating the most projected points in the league over the second half of the draft.

  • You Snooze, You Lose

    While the rest of the league slept on Joe Williams, jim pacholke's Team pounced on him at pick No. 195.

  • Biggest Steal

    jim pacholke's Team may have found a gem in the ninth round, grabbing Matt Bryant (131st overall pick vs. ADP of 105).

Player Analysis

    • Le'Veon Bell, RB
    • Round 1, Pick 3
    Bell is Hungry

    And he'll get plenty of chances to feast this season, projected to rank second in the NFL with 328 touches.

    • Travis Kelce, TE
    • Round 3, Pick 35
    Crafty Kelce

    The primary weapon in KC's passing attack, Travis Kelce led all tight ends with a career-high 1,125 receiving yards last season. Only Le'Veon Bell (685) had more yards-after-catch than Kelce's 655.

    • Tevin Coleman, RB
    • Round 4, Pick 62
    Following Your Heart?

    According to projections, Tevin Coleman will fall outside of the NFL top-20 in both rushing TDs (35th with 5) and yards (24th with 754). Seems like jim pacholke's Team just went with their gut on this one.

    • Marcus Mariota, QB
    • Round 5, Pick 67
    Dual-Threat Dynamo

    • Jeremy Maclin, WR
    • Round 6, Pick 94
    Throwing Caution to the Wind

    They grabbed Jeremy Maclin with the 94th pick, even though his ADP is only 118.3 across all Yahoo! leagues.

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..."
