Real Draft: Yahoo.com 10-Team PPR (Position 2) Grade: B

This is a family league, although they are all in-laws. Yahoo has not yet given me a grade on this draft. I'll have to add it later. Quarterbacks and Tight Ends kept being drafted this time, with seven teams landing at least two QBs and seven drafting at least two TEs (including me). I kept seeing QBs that I would be fine starting on the board and people kept taking quarterbacks before my turn; so I waited until the last round to take J.J. McCarthy. Update: Yahoo graded this draft as a B with a projected 4th-place finish at 10-5.

1.02 Bijan Robinson RB My latest projected stats did not show Christian McCaffrey as RB1 and confirmed Ja'Marr Chase as the best overall pick (+11.4), Bijan (+11.4), Saquon (+11.2), and Jahmyr (+11.0), and the first four picks went exactly like that.

2.09 Drake London WR Bowers went 2.07 and Kittle went 2.08. Given that 1.01 took Chase, my default plan was to take an RB first and then a WR, but with only London and AJ Brown left from this tier of WRs, the dropoff seemed bigger at WR; so I grabbed London.

3.02 Jonathan Taylor RB AJBrown and Bucky Irving went at the turn, and I have Taylor ranked higher than Irving anyway. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson went 3.03 and 3.04 respectively.

4.09 Mike Evans WR Happy to get Evans here, would have preferred Tee Higgins (4.06), but not JSN (4.07), Jameson (4.08), or McLaurin (4.10).

5.02 George Pickens WR Decided to reach a little to make sure I get Pickens on my team.

6.09 RJ Harvey RB Grabbing the RB first because the 6.10/7.01 team already has three WRs now.

7.02 Tetairoa McMillan WR A quarterback (Burrow) and tight end (Andrews) went at the turn.

8.09 Ricky Pearsall WR Reaching again to get the only real wide receiver who might be playing Week 1 for the Niners.

9.02 Jacory Croskey-Merritt RB Really reaching now, but I didn't want to wait to see whether he would last eighteen more picks.

10.09 Bhayshul Tuten RB Just stashing all my favorite lottery picks by drafting them before they show up on the Draft Board radar.

11.02 Tyler Warren TE Nine tight ends were already off the board by this point, but given the way they continued to go in this draft, I was not wrong to grab Warren here.

12.09 Brandon Aiyuk WR Aiyuk is on Injured Reserve and this league has two IR spots; so my plan now is to grab one more lottery ticket, a quarterback, and either a DST or kicker.

13.02 Colston Loveland TE Other favorite TE, but I haven't even gotten him in any of my mock drafts; so getting him when my leaguemates are taking Kincaid, Goedert, and Ferguson makes me happy.

14.09 Chris Boswell K Still able to get a top-tier kicker, while all the top-tier defenses were gone.

15.02 J.J. McCarthy QB Stroud, Lawrence, Tagovailoa, and Geno are all still on waivers, despite most teams grabbing backup QBs. Team 1 has Burrow, Dak, and Drake Maye; so at some point, I could probably offer a trade, if I get desperate.

Mock Draft: FantasyPros Simulator 10-Team (Position 3) Grade A

Image
Okay, I decided just to do my first Mock Draft this year on FantasyPros.com, having done no preparation so far. This just uses a simulator for the other nine teams and isn't against real people, but it's a good first start, and there's no clock; so I don't have to rush my picks as much. I selected 10-Team PPR with QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, Flex, K, DST. It randomly assigned me draft slot 3. 1.03 WR CeeDee Lamb . Justin Jefferson was the other option here. I decided to go with the one with a more established QB. 2.08 RB De'Von Achane . Ladd McConkey was the WR option. I'm not convinced the Chargers aren't going to go back to the running game. Brock Bowers was available here, but seems a little too rich still. 3.03 TE Trey McBride . McConkey is still on the board. Locking in a top TE seems reasonable. 4.08 WR Tee Higgins . Jalen Hurts and George Kittle were available here. I think I like Kittle in Round 4 better than McBride in Round 3. RBs are looking thin here, wi...

Mock Draft: Live Yahoo 12-Team (Position 8)

Trying another 12-team draft, this time on Yahoo. Obviously, I need to work on my tracking better, as I missed out on picking a tight end altogether, as I was a little dismayed when Tyler Warren disappeared earlier than I expected. Looks like the other eleven teams all drafted two QBs; so I'm glad that I at least got one in Round 10. 1.8 Nico Collins WR (HOU) CeeDee Lamb went 1.6, Justin Jefferson went 1.7. I'm still happy with Nico as the fourth best WR this year. Ashton Jeanty and Derrick Henry are the RB options, and given the depth of WRs in the middle rounds and the lack of RBs, I'm leaning more and more toward RB-RB starts being viable. 2.5 Bucky Irving RB (TB) I like Drake London, Puka Nacua, and AJ Brown as WR options, but I'm now going to try to get at least one RB in the first two rounds. I'm worried about Achane's injury (he went 2.6). Josh Jacobs went 2.4. 3.8 Omarion Hampton RB (LAC) James Cook went 3.6 and suddenly the RB board looked much weaker...
