What's the sign of a great GM? Turning a bottom-half draft slot into top-half results. Such was the case with DeKaylin Zecharius, which flipped its No. 11 overall pick into a projected 6th-place finish in Hiawatha Elite League. DeKaylin Zecharius are predicted to put up a total of 1,560 points based on the current roster, which would result in a 7-6 record.
- Ito Smith
Best Pick: What a late-round bargain for DeKaylin Zecharius, who got Smith in the 15th round, about four rounds later than his ADP of 130. Coming off a rookie season in which he rushed for 315 yards and 4 TDs and recorded 27 catches for 152 yards in 13 games, totaling 71 fantasy points, Smith is projected to score 86 fantasy points with the Falcons. That makes him the No. 6 RB for this squad.
- Tevin Coleman
Going out on a Limb: Do you know something we don't? There's no other explanation for drafting Coleman in the 5th round, about 19 slots earlier than his ADP of 78. Projected to score 146 fantasy points this season with the 49ers, he will need to outperform expectations to beat last year when he ran for 800 yards and 4 TDs and had 32 catches for 276 yards and 5 TDs to post 162 fantasy points. Coleman will slot in as the No. 3 RB for DeKaylin Zecharius, according to projections.

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.
