Got the pressure of No 1 pick

[Statto Red]

I'm 5th pick, then 35th pick in round 2.

[Statto Red]

Off all the things seconds to go my internet goes down

[Statto Red]

Internet came back on just in time for my draft.

[Something Worse]

Mistimed this but got auto-ed Julio Jones, Justin Tucker and Josh Gordon. Could be good.

Also got Dak though...

[stoa]

Okay, so far there are three people whom I don't like anymore for taking players I wanted. Gerry Attrick is one of them. The others are the owners of "Gegenpressers" and "God's left boot"... Booooooo to all of you...

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Well this has been interesting, this is what I ended up with

D. Watson
CJ Anderson
L.Blunt
Chris Hogan
J.Landry
Agholor
Gronk
Eliott
Seahawks

As my starting lineup

[Gerry Attrick]

If you want Dwayne Allen that badly I'm willing to trade him.

[Mr F]

QB - Derek Carr
RB - Kenyan Drake
RB - Ronald Jones
WR - Keenan Allen
WR - Brandin Cooks
Flex- Kerryon Johnson
TE - Kyle Rudolph
K - Dustin Hopkins
Def - Broncos

RB was a bit of a risk but the best ones had already been taken by pick 14!

[Gerry Attrick]

The person that drafted Jordan Reed is in business. This is the season he'll remain healthy now I have Vernon Davis.

QB- Phil Rivers
RB- Melvin Gordon
RB- Alex Collins
WR- Mike Evans
WR- Devin Funchess
Flex- Chris Carson
TE- Vernon Davis
K- Roberto Aguayo
Def- Steelers


Think this is actually pretty good. The bench... less so

[stoa]

My team looks okay to me, but then again I have little clue...

QB - Cam Newton
RB - Bilal Powell
RB - Royce Freeman
WR - Odell Beckham Jr.
WR - Ted Ginn Jr.
TE - Jimmy Graham
W/R - Tyrrell Williams
K - Chris Boswell
Def - Packers

Wasted one pick on Chris Ivory. For excited when it was my turn and almost dropped my phone. Catching it I must have picked Ivory...

[deFacto please, you bastards]

No stacked teams no stacked benches, will be fun especially when bye weeks come along hahah

[jedimaster]

QB- Ben Roethlisberger
RB- Dalvin Cook
RB- James White
WR- Golden Tate
WR- Julian Edelman
Flex- Mike Wallace
TE- Travis Kelce
K- ?
Def- Ravens

Quite happy with what I ended up with.  Would've liked one or two Texans on my team but Deshaun would have been a big gamble I think...he might be the next big thing, or it might be that teams now know what to expect and the second season is more of a struggle. Hopefully this season he rips secondaries to pieces and more than shows that he would have been worth the top pick!

I didn't notice the Texans D was still available when I picked my defence, but I am quite happy with the Ravens, they do seem to get a lot of interceptions.

After the draft, I realised that I had drafted the Rams second choice K, so I have requested to replace him. How does it work when you want to bring in a free agent, is it first team to request a particular player gets them?

BUILT AROUND AN AWESOME BATTERY OF BALL CARRIERS, GERRY ATTRICKS HAS SIGHTS ON A CHAMPIONSHIP
Draft Grade A+

Proj Record 11-2

Proj Finish 1

DRAFT SUMMARY
Picking ninth overall in the first round, Gerry Attricks had an a great draft-day performance. They aimed for a roster with balance at key positions, adding a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers within the first five rounds. As the draft concluded, Gerry Attricks ended up with the most prolific foursome of running backs in the league.

According to ADP, it was a bit of a reach selecting Devin Funchess in the 4th round (72nd overall pick versus an ADP of 117.6 across all NFL.com leagues).

Gerry Attricks got off to a sizzling start, amassing the most projected points in the league during the first half of the draft.

Gerry Attricks may know something no one else does, grabbing Chris Carson, who is on a squad in less than 10% of all NFL.com leagues (8%).

[Something Worse]

QB - Dak Prescott
RB - Rex Burkhead
RB- Sony Michel
WR - Julio Jones
WR - Davante Adams
WR - Josh Gordon
TE - Jack Doyle
K- Justin Tucker
DEF - Houston

Best possible Kicker and D, two good WRs on passing teams and one potential superstar if he can hold it together.

Two RBs from NE though...shit. No idea who Jack Doyle is.

Nice selection in Edelman. Just remember he's a slow starter. Even if he doesn't score any points in Week 1 it'll be worth sticking with him for at least another 3 weeks to see how he gets on.

Agreed, if he has no points after week 4, cut him.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

DESPITE SOME RISKY SELECTIONS, GAME OF JONES IS POSITIONED FOR DOMINATION

Draft Grade
A+
Proj Record
11-2
Proj Finish

DRAFT SUMMARY
After a strong showing from the 10th draft slot, Game of Jones is a team to keep an eye on, building a roster that will possibly lead to a postseason berth. They didn't overload at any one position early on, instead focusing on balance by drafting a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end in their first four picks. Upon the draft's completion, Game of Jones ended up with one of the most prolific tandems of quarterbacks in the league.
According to ADP, it was a bit of a reach selecting Danny Amendola in the 6th round (111th overall pick versus an ADP of 147.5 across all NFL.com leagues).
At three different roster slots, Game of Jones picked up projected top-3 players (Kai Forbath, Zach Ertz, and the Vikings Defense).
Game of Jones may know something no one else does, grabbing Danny Amendola, who is on a squad in less than 10% of all NFL.com leagues (9%).

Pretty happy with my side. Starting last is a real hinderence but made the most of it. Sacrificed strength in certain areas to stock up on running backs and wide receivers. Hoping Andy Dalton bounces back with the coaching changes at the Bengals. They can’t be as bad again can they!

My starting roster is:

QB - Andy Dalton
RB - Jordan Howard
RB - Jay Ajayi
WR - Michael Thomas
WR - Marvin Jones
TE - David Njoku
Flex - Sammy Watkins
K - Ryan Succop
Def - Redskins

Also managed to grab Rishard Matthews and Robby Anderson as back up wide receivers and some good pass catching back options in Ty Montgomery and Corey Clement as back up Running Backs. Overall I’m satisfied I’ve got enough depth to have a few sleeper candidates.

[Statto Red]

Quite happy with my team, hinderance was being 5th pick then 35th pick & so on. My Team;

QB Carson Wentz
RB Marshawn Lynch
RB Giovani Bernard
WR DeSean Jackson
WR Antonio Brown
TE Cameron Brate
W/R Eric Decker
K Stephen Gostkowski
Def Philadelphia Eagles
BN Joe Flacco
BN Mike Gillislee
BN Wendell Smallwood
BN John Brown
BN Brice Butler
BN Corey Coleman

Wentz could be an issue, be interesting to see how he does this year.

Yep, didn't have much choice when it came to selecting him, which is why i've gone with Flacco as replacement.

Flacco is dumpster fire mate.

[Zend...en the clowns]

Had my entire Sunday turned upside down and only just twigged I’d missed this, fuck sake.

Have somehow ended up in decent shape: Le’Veon Bell, Tyreek Hill, Matthew Stafford the stand outs and the Jags D is an absolute blinder.

Open to trades.

[frag]

Reasonably happy, although got really tricky later in the rounds.

How'd you guys get this draft grade and projections?

Man I was so looking forward to the draft, but had to miss it...  Oh well, guess I'm on the Jared Goff hype train

[Statto Red]

Flacco is dumpster fire mate.

The beauty is, i can trade him.

[Statto Red]

I got draft grade of C-, set to average 86.58 points per week, the league average is 95.53 per week, it's tricky when there's 20 of us in the draft, & being new to fantasy football.

[KillieRed]

Not so good, I let the auto run, but did pick the last three choices myself:


After Some Dicey Selections, Killie Red Raiders Hopes to Break Into the Upper Echelon
Draft GradeC+
Proj Record5-8
Proj Finish13


Draft Summary

After picking 11th overall, Killie Red Raiders is projected to land in 13th place in RAWK 2018. Let's hope that prediction serves as bulletin board material. With their first five picks, they followed a balanced approach, taking a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers. By the time all the picks were in, Killie Red Raiders ended up with a tandem of wide receivers with the most room for improvement.
•A fantasy traditionalist, Killie Red Raiders opted for running backs with their first two selections (Leonard Fournette and Jerick McKinnon).
•In the 4th round, caution was thrown to the wind, as Pierre Garcon was selected at pick number 70 versus an ADP of 90.7 across all NFL.com leagues.

[Rob K]

Not too bad seeing as I missed the first 5 rounds and a couple later ones due to having friends around. Last year the whole team was autodrafted and I managed to win that so will see what happens this time round

LED BY A TERRIFIC RUNNING GAME, THE SWANSONS LOOKS TO FACTOR INTO THE PLAYOFF PICTURE
Draft Grade B+                                             
Proj Record  8-5
Proj Finish  T6

The Swansons parlayed a good draft slot into a respectable performance. They added some running backs early, using three of their first five picks on ball-carriers. That early positional investment helped to yield one of the best foursomes of running backs in the league.

Thanks if you can

Browns - Eagles pre season game ended with 5-0 for Browns. Probably the lowest scoring game I've ever heard in the NFL.

I checked now, looks like 0-0 happened a few times a while ago but I suppose they were played under heavy rain/snow.
