Blog #2 - Draft Recap

Daddies,

My goal was to do this as I was 15 beers in at the end of the draft. Instead, I got too busy losing in Madden and then getting home far too late. So you get this now. Right this instant. And you better be reading it now. Because these are the times that matter. Life is about being present. And I don't want to be present anywhere else than entirely inside the Draft Daddy world we have built. Such a beautiful thing.

So to get things going this week, we have this special edition Draft Recap coming out now...which you're reading.

EVERY THURSDAY will be a Predictions Blog. Just like last year. Written by me, your favorite Commish. Where you read my nonsense of whatever I want to put, and then you read about how I hate your team and predict you to lose. Unless you are PP <3

EVERY TUESDAY (starting next week) will be a Results Podcast for all of you illiterate daddies hosted by your very own ASS. He may be reaching out for your participation so...be ready. 

For your Draft Recap, coming in atop the list proclaiming the Father Draft Daddy title this year...

1. Jacksonville Jacks - A+ My first instict is to hate the Amari Cooper pick but then I see its in the 6th round and he is your WR4. Respectable. I then think, surely, he has a bad QB and TE. He picked up Stafford and Ertz in the 9th and 10th, INCREDIBLE value that deep. If Barkely can return to form and Dobbins gets healthy quick enough... Look out. Chase, Allen, ARob (now with Stafford). Not a weak spot here.

2. EDawgs - A Sutton was a reach in the 3rd, but you made up for it with a Scarry Terry pick in the 4th. Life is better when you're at the draft. Starting with Mixon and Jones should help you too as strong RB's. Renfrow in the 7th and Knox in the 10th got you some incredible late round value. 

3. Return of the PP - A- PP quietly had one of the better drafts. Harris & Chubb followed by Pittman and Metcalf is not a bad way to put some points on the board, although some of his picks may have been a bit of reach. What is going to hurt this team is what hurts his top 4 studs - you don't really have a good QB do you???

4. Chris B Bacon - B+ Godwin is a great find in the 7th. A top tier player who somehow fell down draft boards after getting hurt last season. Your 2 starting RB's combined for a total of 102 points last year. They're risky. But both tied to either a good or improving offensive has some potential. Pitts in the 4th is your steal of the draft. An unproven QB yes. A target monster, also yes. And getting BOTH Diggs & Adams... Look for a lot of receptions from this team overall. 

5. Cinci Forklifts - B+ Playoff Lenny may not have quite the same juice in him as he has in years past. I know you were RB needy in the 2nd as you saw many fly off before you, but this had to be a stretch. You would expect a guy you had an online draft kit helping him have the best draft. Your draft, and season, sits on much of what Diontae and Rashod end up being at the WR positions for you. Studs, or duds?

6. Throw Bombs, Bang Moms - B+ Outside of CMC & Deebo, who are the potential stars on this team? Can one of the many depth picks make a surprise and blow up? We do like the stack of Kyler and Hollywood Deeper than most teams, but without the start potential...and injury prone...

7. Chicago Dogs - B Outside of Jefferson and Kamara, who are your studs? Even at that, Kamara wasn't a sure thing every week with their QB situation. Although he was a great get in round 2. Do you really expect James Conner to help lead you to victory? Love that you coupled Trey Lance late with the mid Tom Brady pick. But Jeudy, Mooney, and Burks all have HUGE upsides. 

8. Akron Aeros - B- Another team with a struggling group of RB's but at least you do have a starter in Zeke, but is he really the work horse? Did you reach and go with Hunt as a homer pick, or are you expecting him to get traded? Kupp, Evans, and Thomas might be the best WR trio in the league and Thomas in the 5th round was a great find.

9. SQL Server - C+ Every team has a weak spot and for you... you have Devin Singletary as your RB2. Followed by what... Cordarrelle Patterson? Which Cordarrelle may have been a solid choice in the 8th round but you're hurting here. Outside of that, Dalvin, CeeDee & Mike Williams, along with Jalen Hurts and George Kittle has you ready for BLOW UP potential...and in the good way. But you also didn't pick a kicker.. so that docks you down.

10. Saving Private (Matt) Ryan - C- Having your WR1 as his actually teams WR2 is not setting yourself up well for big weeks, but you could be consisent. Taking Swift in the first round could turn out well, but is he going to split carriers? Did you realize he does play for the Lions.

11. Victorville City - D+ You get an automatic upgrade for picking JT and not Patty in round 1. But your 3 RB's, none starting for their respective teams at the moment, put you in a real bind. You're improving from last year and sometimes that is all we can ask. 

12. Team Keegs - D- You didn't even make these picks. You're lucky to not be getting an F for not showing up. While your team looks actually pretty good. You didn't draft this team. The League drafted this team. You should have brought all of that weed back to us instead of arresting that guy. Let him off easy. Prioritize the team.
