Rookie Draft Grade

[PhillySpecial]

See team below in signature. I think I am ready to compete for the belt this year.

1.02 - David Montgomery
1.03 - Miles Sanders
2.06 - traded for a 2020 1st
3.02 - Terry McLaurin
5.02 - Rodney Anderson

Somewhat depends on who else was picked where, but overall solid draft especially the 2.06 for a 2020 1st. Really like that there.

I like how you addressed your RB situation, but I think that Harry (assuming Jacobs was 1.01) would have been a good idea to take also. That being said I like what you did. Hard to say if you are really in contention for a championship run in a 10 team league, but I think you have poised yourself to be a championship contender in 1-2 years.

I like your draft, but I dont think you are ready to compete in a 10 man, maybe for a playoff spot, but not the championship

[Gator Sens]

I like the RB's you added and really nice deal trading the 2.06 for a 2020 1st!

[FantasyFoosball]

0% chance you compete for a championship. Would be lucky to squeak into the playoffs with that team. I gave you a 'B' because I think one of those two picks should have gone to Harry. You drafted for need instead of BPA, and your team is not competitive enough for that. You needed BPA.

Solid draft. I'm not as high on Montgomery as the rest, I would have rather taken Harry. But still a good draft either way.

But I don't think you're quite ready to compete in a 10 man. You have a lot of young talent, but I don't see enough of them having huge seasons. Multiple players with huge seasons is how you win in a ten man. Like Hopkins, Tyreek, Zeke etc. Keep chugging away though, you're in a good spot for the future

Disagree, that they have 0% chance of competing for title. The best teams on paper don’t always win either. It only takes a lucky break or two and who knows. I like your picks, especially a mid 2 for future 1.

B- Would have grabbed Henry Montgomery 1st 2... the trading of the 2.06 for a first is the savoir here.

[PhillySpecial]

If you make the playoffs then your chances of a championship greatly increase from 0%. I am playoff bound with this team and will hold out hope that may young players develop in 2019.

I was back and forth with Harry and Sanders. Harry could not separate in college, played in a weaker conference, went to a soon-to-be run first team, has an aging QB and I hate the Patriots. He has a great dominator rating, breakout age, etc but I do not want to wait 2 - 3 years for production. I can start Cooper, Golladay, Godwin, Landry and Mike Williams over Harry for the next 3 - 4 seasons. I understand I could accumulate annual value with Harry but why hold out hope on a redundant asset?

With question marks for Fournette and Guice - I am banking on RB2/RB3 rookie production from Sanders and Montgomery and decent spot start RB's with CJ Anderson, Yeldon, Hyde, Duke Johnson and Mike Davis (all could be starters with injuries). If Fournette can stay healthy and if Guice is the starter by mid-season I am good with my RB core.

And FYI - the guy that traded a 2020 1st for the 2.06 drafted Hardman with Deebo and Fant still on the board.

[DonBrazi]

Montgomery over Harry is yucky.

But the 2020 1st for the 16th pick is nice.

Need to see the whole draft, but the McLaurin pick feels rather early too.

Overall, bad drafting.. but good trading. B.

Tough to make playoffs in a 10 man with that team. Zero elite players. Must be some teams stacked.

I graded a B. Would have taken Harry. Need to get Elite at WR and RB. With 3Flex you do have options once IF your RB's come into form.

Fournette, can't play a full season. Guice, an unknown - will he be special or just good to very good. Rook rb always have a chance, but don't think you have enough depth there.

WR - zero top 10 WR thus zero #1WR. Not good. You will always be chasing. Is the reason I would have taken Harry. May take till next yr or 21 but he can be ELITE. Cooper may get into top 10 in some rankings. Not mine. But you do have a lot of #2 WR that can potentially move up into #1's, so that is a positive.

You need everything to pan out perfectly to get playoffs. If I had your team I would prefer not to make playoffs to again work on depth in '20.

I am in 12 team league, was not highest scoring team but won champ last year. At WR I have Adams, Juju, Allen, AJG, Godwin. At RB Mixon, DJ, and Chubb and QB Mayfield and Rivers and TE Engram. Engram despite his ranking is not a difference maker. Just a few TE's are. If I could get one, then I would be set. That is what you need. Difference makers. I still need to improve at RB if possible. There are 3 or 4 ELITE RB's or difference makers. Mine are very good and quantity won it for me, but that usually won't be the case. Difference makers win championships. This is what you need to work towards.

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

I like it a lot overall. Out of curiosity, who was drafted at 2.06 after you traded away the pick, and where is the 2020 1st projected?

[PhillySpecial]

The 2.06 was used on Hardman with Deebo and Fant still on the board... I expect the 2020 1st to be a playoff team so anywhere from pick 6 - 10.

Bold move and definitely risk/reward, but I like it. Get your guys. I value Hardman as a 1st as well.

B-
Harry should have gone to your team. Your RBs are all iffy, your WRs are good, but you’re missing that 1 top tier WR
