A brilliant draft-day performance by the GM of Brian McDougall turned the No. 5 overall pick into a projected 1st-place finish. Brian McDougall are predicted to finish 11-3 (2,236 points) in LEEIB Sports Network.
- Dalvin Cook
Biggest Steal: Brian McDougall netted a outstanding early-round bargain in choosing Cook with the 5th pick of the 5th round, about 11 slots later than his ADP of 18. Coming off a rookie season in which he rushed for 354 yards and 2 TDs and had 11 receptions for 90 yards in 4 games, totaling 60 fantasy points, Cook is projected to score 231 fantasy points with the Vikings. That makes him a valuable No. 3 RB for this squad.
- Trey Burton
Reach Pick: You must have had some inside info when deciding to choose Burton with the 2nd pick of the 12th round, about 7 spots earlier than his ADP of 75. Granted, you could be onto something. Projected to score 157 fantasy points this season with the Bears, he appears poised to surpass last year when he racked up 23 receptions for 248 yards and 5 TDs in 13 games to earn 56 fantasy points. But do you really need an extra TE? After all, you can only start one per week. According to projections, Burton will slot in as the No. 2 TE for Brian McDougall to begin 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. 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.
