2017 draft grades. 

1.1    London Knights - Myles Garrett, TAMU - The best player in this draft goes where he should even if it cost London a little bit B+ Grade.
1.2    Camden Hood Rats - Soloman Thomas, Stanford - I don't agree he's the second best player in this draft but he fills a need B grade.
1.3    Camden Hood Rats - Jamal Adams, LSU - Giving up a ton of draft captial for a safety usually isn't a good idea and while Adams is an elite prospect he's not worth trading up for C-
1.4    Compton Black Panthers - Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State - An unexpected pick since Compton has an embarassment of riches at CB and next to nothing at QB and RB, BPA usually works out but ignoring your offense is a bad idea especially with such a premium pick. C+ Grade.
1.5    Wichita Woodpeckers - Leonard Fournette LSU - Wichita needed a weapon to build their offense around and Fournette offers the Adrian Peterson type RB to do that. B+ Grade.
1.6    Gotham Gashslayers - Reuben Foster, Alabama - A pick that makes too much sense given the need at the position and the value. A grade.
1.7    Cuba Smugglers - Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State University - A trade up for a RB who tested poorly at the combine and has off the field issues but fills a need, C- Grade. 
1.8    Wichita Woodpeckers - Jonathan Allen, DL, Bama - Could be this years Myles Jack and that's kind of scary but the value is pretty solid. B- grade.
1.9    Oklahoma City Rogues - Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State -  Insert paying for a hooker joke here, I had Hooker as a top 4 player in this draft and he fills a massive need. A+ Grade.
1.10    Rome Eternals - OJ Howard, Alabama - Rome had nothing at the TE positon and this pick makes too much sense, Howard is probably the safest TE prospect in quite a while. B+ grade.
1.11    Long Beach Leprechauns - Christian McCaffrey RB Stanford - I don't like this pick from a "You have Aaron rodgers you don't need a running game" perspective. McCaffrey is the 2nd best RB in this class and getting him at 1.11 is good value, but still not who I would've picked B grade.
1.12    Portland Horned Owls - WR John Ross - Why Xmad traded the a first for John Ross when he could've just wait 2 more spots for mike williams and given up less is beyond me, D grade. 
1.13    Rome Eternals - Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin - The First offensive tackle off the board in a weak class, fills a need and Wisconsin Lineman are usually pretty damn good. B grade.
1.14    Charleston Dingos - WR Mike Williams - I had this guy in the top 5 on my draft board so getting him at 1.14 is worth it to me. A Grade.
1.15    Camden Hood Rats - TE David Njoku - I like Njoku but this feels a bit early for a player who won't go in the teens IRL, Solid player who fills a need but a reach. C+ grade.    
1.16    Seoul Dragons - DE Derek Barnett - Barnett was a top 15 player on my board and I like the value you're getting here Barnett isn't the best athlete but he's still a good player. B+ Grade.

Best Pick of round 1: Nothing screamed extreme value aside from Williams and Hooker, I'll give best pick to Oklahoma.

Worst Pick of round 1: Portland gave up too much for the no.3 WR in this draft class, I like John Ross but the injury concerns and the fact Xmad gave up too much makes this the worst pick by default.

2.1    Wichita Woodpeckers - Haason Reddick Temple - A solid pass rusher but I question why the hell you're drafting a pass rusher when you have expensive as hell starters, Solid value but still there are o-lineman on the board you could've drafted. C- Grade.

2.2    Singapore Sentinels - Corey Davis WR Western Michigan - Easily the best "Needs" pick so far since Singapore has nothing at WR besides some prayers and a 32 year old slot WR, Good value too considering he's the 2nd best WR in this class. A+ grade.

2.3    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Gareon Conley, CB OSU - Don't have an opinion on Conley but he's a solid pick at this juncture and this fills a need, B grade.

2.4    Orlando Ospreys - Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky - The Guy wichita should've drafted and he fills a need on an Orlando line that was a disaster last year before some trades B+ grade.

2.5    Rome Eternals - Marlon Humphreys, Alabama - Another solid CB prospect I don't have an opinion on, Alabama DBs have had issues in the NFL but each player is different (See Clinton-Dix). B grade.

2.6    Singapore Sentinels - Taco Charlton, DL, Michigan - A solid pass rusher who should've gone before Reddick did, I also just realized his name is red **** and I'm an idiot also tacos are delcious A grade.

2.7    Gotham Gashslayers - Zach Cunningham, LB Vandy - Another LB that was desperatley needed on a defense with tons of holes at LB, getting the second best non pass rushing LB is solid here B+ grade.

2.8    Orlando Ospreys - Kevin King, CB, Washington - Sidney Jones was the better washington corner but injuries killed his stock, King has a homerism connection as well solid pick. B- grade.

2.9    Rome Eternals - Mitch Trubisky UNC - The first QB to go off the board, I don't think he'll end up being the best one but this QB class is one we'll only figure out with time and Eli's replacement is needed. B- grade.

2.10    Orlando Ospreys - Garett Bolles, OT, Utah - Orlando really went all out on fixing their o-line from last year and rightfully so, if both of these players live up to their potential and their current players stay healthy orlando turned their o-line around massively. B+ grade.

2.11    Compton Black Panthers - DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame - Kizer dealt with a lot of b.s at Notre Dame (Brian kelly, Expectations, crappy defense etc.) and he showed he could deal with it, I imagine he's the most pro-ready of all the QBs and will at the very worst be an Andy Dalton level starter, Trade up factored in and the fact Compton has no QB on the roster aside form Mr.PegLeg B grade.

2.12    Compton Black Panthers - Cam Robinson, OT,Bama - Trading Richard sherman for a bundle of picks when he's about to enter his decline phase is a solid move and you already have Sherman's replacement on the roster, Getting Robinson who I think is the best LT (not lineman) in this class is a good move. A+ grade.

2.13    Wichita Woodpeckers - Jabrill Peppers, S/CB/LB, Michigan - Ah Peppers the worst pick of them all, Peppers doesn't have an NFL position right now he could play LB,CB,S in a Hybrid role like Mathieu does or he could bust because NFL teams don't know where to use him. I think he'd fit best as a Safety/Slot CB Hybrid but Peppers isn't a top 45 player simply because of the fact he doesn't have a defined NFL positon and the homerism makes it worse. D+ grade.

2.14    Charlesotn Dingoes - Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State    - A top 14 player with charecter issues doesn't fill a need and I traded a medicore RB and a 5th to get him but I like hoarding d-lineman and he should become at least as good as Sheldon Richardson. - B- Grade.

2.15    Camden Hood Rats - Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss - Camden....Takes another TE for some reason. I get adding weapons to an offense led by Drew Brees but spending the equivalent of two first round picks on TEs is a waste IMO, Engram is a good reciever but he's small and can't block but he does not fill a need. C- Grade.

2.16    Seoul Dragons - Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut - Byron Jones worked out as a freak Athlete from Connecticut and Melifonwu is a solid safety prospect but he's raw and will need to develop at the next level, Fills a big need though and this is solid value for an elite athlete with not so great tape still Seoul should have adressed the OT position but all the good players are off the board. B Grade.

Best Pick: Singapore's Corey Davis, The value and filing a big need

Worst Pick: Wichita's Jabrill peppers, Peppers is a solid prospect but the fact he could simply end up playing RB (unlikely but NFL teams are stupid sometimes with projects) or the fact he'll be forced to play LB or move between positons multiple years means he'll more likely than not bust. Evan Engram was also in consideration but he's actually a decent player.

Round 3

3.1    Long Beach Leprechauns - Jarrad Davis LB Florida - A solid ILB prospect who fills a need and offers solid value. B+

3.2    Portland Horned Owls - T.J Watt, OLB/DE Wisconsin - If Watt is half the player his brother is this is well worth the pick and I considered watt at 2.14 so good value B+ grade.

3.3    London Knights - Tre’Davious White, CB, Louisiana State University - Tried to trade up for him and he's a definite first round pick that slides a bit, so a lot of value. A grade

3.4    Wichita Woodpeckers - Dan Feeney, Indiana - The second best guard in this class goes to a team that desperatley needed some o-line upgrades solid pick. B grade.

3.5    Long Beach Leprechauns - Budda Baker DB UW - Trade up factored in I get why Long Beach traded up for him, Washington DBs have a solid track record (Marcus Peters) and he'll be a nice player next to collins. B grade.

3.6    Gotham Gashslayers - Charles Harris, EDGE, Mizzou - I'm not too crazy about him as a pass rusher and he's not the best athelete there were betters players on the board who filled bigger needs, C- grade.

3.7    Compton Black Panthers - Tim Williams - Tim Williams has drug problems as bad as randy gregory allegedley, I doubt it's that bad but he did fail multiple drug tests at alabama and while he is very talented he'll probably be out of the league within 3 years. D+ grade.

3.8    Oklahoma City Rogues - Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma - Joe Mixon has off the field issues that will more than likely push him down to day 3 IRL, While Mixon is a talented player and would be a top 45 pick if he was clean the fact he could go undrafted given the NFL's domestic violence issues in recent years makes this a pretty awful pick and trading a future pick for him is even worse, I honestley wouldn't have been suprised if he was available in the 7th round in BDL and thus you could've gotten him much later. F grade.

3.9    Seoul Dragons - Sidney Jones, CB, Washington - Sidney Jones had a nasty injury that killed his stock, he probably won't play in his rookie year and if he does it won't be until late in the season if it at all. But getting a top 15 player who will recover from the injury within 2 years and be fully healthy is a solid gamble and much better than some other gambles this round, I get the trade up but you could've waited a bit. C+ grade.

3.10    London Knights - Curtis Samuel, WR, Ohio State - The lazy man's comparison is randall Cobb and I'd say that's about right, Samuel doesn't project as a dominant player but he should be a nice weapon on offense for Luck or Mariota. B grade.

3.11    London Knights - Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC - A freak athlete of a CB who should at the very worst be a solid nickel corner. B grade.

3.12    Cuba Smugglers    - DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson - Deshaun Watson isn't the best QB in this class but I'd say he has the best work ethic of the bunch and is a great player on and off the field, beating Alabama in the national title game is a good achievement but there are concerns about his pro readyness but any great QB can overcome anything if they work hard enough at it, Watson at the very worst is E.J Manuel and at his best is Dak Prescott this is a much needed pick given their QB woes. B+ grade.

3.13    Rome Eternals - Takkarist McKinley - A solid edge rusher but UCLA has a sketchy history of pass rushers (Datone Jones, Anthony Barr etc.) he has solid tape and this pick makes sense. B grade.

3.14    Wichita Woodpeckers - Quincy Wilson, Florida - Florida DBs have a solid history but for every Joe Haden there's a Matt Elam and Wilson isn't the fastest CB but he fills a need. B grade.

3.15    Camden Hood Rats - Chidobe Awuzie Colorado - The only other colorado CB I can remember is Jimmy Smith and Vernon Hargreaves has a long way to go to live up to his draft position, Aqib Talib is 30 and while he's elite now he will decline soon. Solid pick that fills a need, B grade.

3.16    Seoul Dragons - Marcus Williams, FS, Utah - Marcus Williams is a solid pick at this juncture blah blah blah B grade.

Best Pick: London's Tre'Davious White, this round didn't have a lot of great picks but it did have some solid ones and white was the best of the bunch.

worst pick: Oklahoma City's Joe Mixon, Mixon is without a doubt a great player on the field but given the NFL's status on domestic violence the past 2 years I don't expect him to go before round 5, Tyreek hill did go in round 5 despite beating up his pregnant girlfriend like a total d-bag but Mixon has an actual video tape and no matter how much he tries to make up for it he will always have a black mark on his career.

Round 4

4.1    Compton Black Panthers - Chris Wormley - Solid pick and he fills a need, could've gone a bit earlier than this but this is his range. B+ grade.

4.2    Compton Black Panthers - Duke Riley - An athletic LB with a ton of upside. B grade.

4.3    London Knights - Dion Dawkins Temple - Dawkins is a good OT prospect with a decent amount of upside. B+ grade.

4.4    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Carlos Watkins, DT, Clemson - Carlos Watkins was one of my favorite players in the draft and I'd say he's well worth this pick. A grade.

4.5    Singapore Sentinels - Desmond King, S/CB, Iowa - A solid CB/s with good tape but with questionable athleticism who is probably going a bit too high. C+ grade.

4.6    Compton Black Panthers - Derek Rivers - A solid under the rader pass rusher who should suprise whoever drafts him IRL and hoarding pass rushers is always a good idea. B+ grade.

4.7    Camden Hood Rats - Tyus Bowser Houston - The last solid ILB left on the board, Tyus Bowser isn't the best in coverage and will have a tough time dealing with blocks at the NFL level but the upside is there. C+ grade.

4.8    Compton Black Panthers - Pat Elflein - A solid interior line prospect who is more or less a depth pick at this point. B grade.

4.9    Orlando Ospreys - Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M - An Upside WR but he's going way too early with quite a few better recievers still on the board I consider him a RL 5th rounder at best. F+ grade.

4.10    Oklahoma City Rogues - Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA - Solid DB with lacking instincts and gets beaten by inside moves too much. B grade.

4.11    Camden Hood Rats - Ethan Pocic LSU - Another solid interior lineman prospect who fills a need B grade.

4.12    Orlando Ospreys - Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee - A solid all around back who shouldn't get out of the 3rd round IRL reminds me of Jamaal charles a little bit and you're getting good value here. B+ grade.

4.13    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Dawuane Smoot, Edge, Illinois - With Lovie smith as the HC at illinois he should enter the NFL prepared to know NFL schemes and stuff, He's a good athlete with ok production solid pick. B+ grade.

4.14    Gotham Gashslayers - Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida - IMO the 3rd best DT in this class behind Allen and McDowell he should've gone quite a bit earlier than this, very good pick that doesn't fill a need and while Brantley has charecter concerns the values make up for it. A grade.

4.15    Singapore Sentinels - Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina - A top 45 player who adds another much needed WR to a lacking singapore reciveing corps, trading a future top 32 pick for him ruins the value a little bit but this is still a good pick. B+ grade.

4.16    Orlando Ospreys - To be graded.

Best Pick: Gotham's Caleb Brantley, Getting a top 32 player at the end of the 4th round is a steal, Zay Jones would've been the best pick if Singapore didn't give up a future top 32 pick.

Worst Pick: Orlando's Josh Reynolds, Reaching for a WR who isn't even in the top 10 WRs in this draft is pretty awful, Reynolds has upside but reaching for an inferior player when Zay Jones was still on the board is horrible value.


5.1    London Knights - Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State - A very athletic DE who could've gone quite a bit earlier but at what point do you have enough pass rushers? This pick could've been used on a player who fits a better need despite. B+ Grade.

5.2    Long Beach Leprechauns - Cooper Kupp, WR, EWU - A solid WR who fills a need since they're trading Jordy Nelson for some reason. B grade.

5.3    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Chris Godwin, WR, Penn St - If I couldn't get one of the top 3 WRs in this draft he was my late round target and would've taken him in the early 4th solid value. A grade.

5.4    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan - Had to google him, google say he's a good player. B grade.

5.5    Wichita Woodpeckers - Raekwon McMillan LB Ohio State - McMillian was a solid defender for ohio state and the best ILB left on the board is a solid pick by itself but trading a future top 32 pick and top 64 for these 3 picks is inexcusable. C- grade.

5.6    Wichita Woodpeckers - Antonio Garcia OT Troy - The trades alone for this duo of players makes this a bad pick D+ grade.

5.7    Orlando Ospreys - Carl Lawson, EDGE, Auburn - Injury concerns with a ton of upside Lawson is a big gamble but in the 5th round it's a solid gamble. C+ grade.

5.8    Wichita Woodpeckers - Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson - A solid Cb that fills a need you get the gist, B grade.

5.9    Oklahoma City Rogues - Teez Tabor, CB, Florida - A slow CB with good tape, He'll probably get burned by speed demons but cover elite route runners very well. B- grade.

5.10    Berlin Blitzkrieg - D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas - The defintion of a power back, Foreman is a solid pick this late and should help out a lacking backfield. B+ grade.

5.11    Camden Hood Rats - Dorian Johnson Pitt - Adding a top 5 guard prospect this late in the draft is a solid pick. B grade.

5.12    Compton Black Panthers - Carlos Henderson - Carlos Henderson is either a great reciever or HWS overrated bum depending on who you ask. He's a bum. C-

5.13    Singapore Sentinels - Tarell Basham, DE, Ohio - Google didn't bring up much and I'm too lazy to click the links. B grade.

5.14    Rome Eternals - Juju Smith Schuster USC - Robert Woods 2.0 solid route runner, not a great athlete and doesn't do a whole lot of great things. B- grade.

5.15    Camden Hood Rats - Ahkello Witherspoon Colorado - I can't tell if his name is said "A cello" or "ACK ello" either way F- for the name. B grade for the pick.

5.16    London Knights - To be graded.

Best pick: Berlin's Chris Godwin, I had godwin as a top 5 WR in this draft and I feel like he's a solid pick this late in the draft.

Worst Pick: Wichita's Rawkwon and Antonio, I get that you liked those players but trading a top 32 and a top 64 pick for them is pretty horrendous. 

6.1    Oklahoma City Rogues - Montravius Adams Auburn - A solid DT prospect who fills a need. B grade.

6.2    Rome Eternals - Josh Jones NC State - A solid S prospect who has good run defending skills. B Grade.

6.3    Rome Eternals - Dalvin Tomlinson, Alabama - An alabama player, what could go wrong? B grade.

6.4    Wichita Woodpeckers - Adam Shaheen TE, Ashland - Shaheen is a solid TE prospect who could go in the 3rd IRL, solid pick. B grade.

6.5    Cuba Smugglers - DeMarcus Walker, DE, Florida State University - The Florida State Homerism is strong this draft, great value on what I consider a top 60 player. A grade.

6.6    Cuba Smugglers - Ryan Anderson, OLB, Alabama - You can never have enough pass rushers and Anderson should at the very worst be solid depth at the NFL level. B+ grade

6.7    Gotham Gashslayers - Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan - I like lewis as a prospect and think he can be a solid Nickel DB. B+ grade.

6.8    Camden Hood Rats - Tanoh Kpassagnon Villanova - A very athletic pass rusher who will probably fade into obscurity but why not. B- grade.

6.9    Rome Eternals - Alex Anzalone, Florida - That last name is a nightmare to have in middle school, a solid LB who fills a need. B+ grade.

6.10    Oklahoma City Rogues - Taywan Taylor, WR, Western Kentucky - I like this pick for reasons. B grade.

6.11    Long Beach Leprechauns - Roderick Johnson OT FSU - The type of player the seahawks will draft that will eventually start and be out of the league in 2-5 years. B grade.

6.12    Singapore Sentinels - John Johnson, S, Boston College - If he's as boring as his name sounds he won't have off the field issues. B grade.

6.13    Seoul Dragons - Gerald Everett - TE - South Alabama - Solid value for a solid TE. B grade.

6.14    Rome Eternals - Nico Siragusa, OG, Sand Diego St - A solid o-lineman pick and stuff. B grade.

6.15    Singapore Sentinels - Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo - I had a top 60 grade on Kareem Hunt so incredible value here and I think he'll be a solid starter at the next level. A+ grade.

6.16    London Knights - Malachi Dupre - WR - LSU - Don't you have enough WRs wasting away on your bench? could've taken an OT here. C- grade.


Best pick: Singapore's Kareem Hunt, Value is value.

Worst pick: LOndon's Malachi Dupre, I needed a worst pick and someone had to fall on the sword.

Saturday 4/15    

7.1    Long Beach Leprechauns - George Kittle TE Iowa - I don't know who he is, B grade.

7.2    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Howard Wilson, CB, Houston - He should be a solid bench warmer. B grade.

7.3    Berlin Blitzkrieg - Bucky Hodges, TE, Virginia Tech - Sure why not man. B grade.

7.4    Cuba Smugglers    - Aviante Collins, RT, TCU - A freak athlete of an o-lineman, he has a lot of upside and stuff. A grade.

7.5    Seoul Dragons - Isaac Asiata OG - Utah - A solid G prospect who fills a need. B grade.

7.6    Gotham Gashslayers - Jake Butt, TE, Michigan - Jake Butt would probably be a top 5 TE in this draft if he was healthy, taking a gamble he can recover here is a solid risk. B+ grade.

7.7    London Knights - Larry Ogunjobi, DT, Charlotte - Is Bruce Irvin really worth these 2 players...? Solid late rounder but still. C- grade.

7.8    London Knights - Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson - No idea who he is but I'm just lazy to google so. C- grade.

7.9    London Knights - Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma - A solid RB prospect who fills a need. B+ grade.

7.10    Orlando Ospreys - Eddie Jackson, SAF, Alabama - Not Eddie Murphy? C+ grade.

7.11    Camden Hood Rats - WR DeDe Westbrook Oklahoma - Dexter was better than DeeDee. B grade/

7.12    Singapore Sentinels - Nathan Peterman, QB, Pittsburgh - Uh I guess you needed a cheaper backup Brock Osweiler I don't hate the pick but I don't get it either. B- grade.

7.13    Rome Eternals - WR Chad Hansen, Cal - I think Chad Hansen is worth a 3rd rounder IRL so this is very good value, if you hadn't taken him I probably would've. A+ grade.

7.14    Charleston Dingos - Davis Webb, QB, Cal - I'm obviously biased but I had Davis as my no.2 QB and I have a solid feeling the Chargers draft him to be Rivers Successor though the trade was expensive and I could've taken him in the scramble I wanted to use that scramble pick on someone else. C+ grade.

7.15    Orlando Ospreys - Jonnu Smith, TE, FIU - I don't have a joke so. B grade.

7.16    Singapore Sentinels - Marcus Maye, S, Florida - Mr.Irrelevant except he won't get a party cause he's not even the real Mr.Irrelevant.


Best Pick: Rome's Chad Hansen, Too good of a pick.

Worst Pick: It's the 7th round there are no worst picks.

Dingo 2018 Draft Grades:

Only a pinch of salt and one bribe was involved while grading these picks.

1.1 - Hawaii Nightmares -  Saquon Barkley,RB, PSU - I think Barkely is a stud and fills a massive need for Hawaii but I'm not a fan of taking RBs in the top half of the first (Top 16 picks), but I get the pick if there wasn't a good trade down offer. B grade. 

1.2 - Seoul Dragons- Bradley Chubb, Edge, NC State - Love the trade up from a pure value standpoint and Chubb is definitley worthy of being this pick, trade makes this a very good value and adding the best pass rusher in this class is also nice. A grade.

1.3 - Oklahoma City Raccoons- Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA - I question this because of having Cam Newton under contract for 3 years at a solid rate but I also get it because Cam is incredibly inconsistent week to week and isn't a top 10 QB, I would've gone with Nelson from a needs perspective but Rosen works here. A- grade.

1.4 - Wichita Woodpeckers - Quentin Nelson, OG, Notre Dame - Wichita drafting the top lineman to finally start fixing their terrible o-line it's about time, I think Nelson is the safest player in this draft so points for that. B+ Grade.

1.5 = Camden Hoodrodents -  Denzel Ward,CB, Ohio State - Wouldn't have made it past 1.6 for sure, good pick and hopefully he turns out to be as good as I think he'll be that fills a big need as well. B grade.

1.6 - Louisiana Jizz - Sam Darnold, QB, USC - USC has an uninspiring history of QBs to go in the draft but Darnold looks likely to break that trend, trade up factored in this was a pick Lukic needed to make given Brady's age. B grade.

1.7 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech - Ogletree's replacement provides a solid value here at this spot, not too crazy about Edwards as a top 10 pick but he he's a top 16 player so it's only a slight reach. C+ Grade.

1.8  - Gotham Gashslayers - Minkak Fizpatrick, S, Alabama - Slight trade up to make sure you got the player you wanted is nice, Minkah probably wouldn't have made it past Footsy's attempts to Auction everything away and more. B grade.

1.9  - Cuba Smugglers - Derin James, S FSU - Solid trade value wise to get an FSU player who fills a massive need and ticks off the homerism checkmark for MD4L this draft. B+ grade.

1.10 - Long Beach Leprechauns- Vita Vea, DT, UW - Not crazy about Vea given he's a NT but he's very good player who fills a literal massive need on the interior of Long Beach's d-line, still this is a solid pick bonus points for trading down and getting the extra pick. B+ grade.

1.11 -  Hawaii Nightmares - Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia - With K.J Wright going to be a FA next year and most of your LB corps joining him this is a solid pick, Smith is probably the BPA available as well. B+ grade.

1.12  - Louisiana Jizz - Josh allen, QB, Wyoming -  I question the logic of taking two QBs with top 16 picks in the first round...Solid Value but this is overkill and the trading of future assets makes it worse. C- grade.

1.13  - Hawaii Nightmares - Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College - I didn't have Landry as a top 40 player and I think he's a pretty big reach here, factoring in the trade up this is pretty bad value wise but it's not John Ross bad at least. D grade.

1.14  - Louisiana Jizz - Joshua Jackson, Cornerback, Iowa - I was hoping he'd slide into the second but alas it was not to be, Love the value and the trade up for Lukic, Jackson was in consideration for 1.6 so I consider this a bit of a steal . A+ grade. 

1.15 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Derris Guice, RB, LSU - Not crazy about Guice this high but he's a good RB and the value Berlin gave up was about even, Fills a need as well but I'm still not a fan of RBs this high and I question Berlin's sobriety when they made this pick. C grade. 

1.16 - Rome Eternals - Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State - I'm not too familair with him as a prospect so I'll just grade him as a top 40 player and call this a reach. C grade.


Best Pick: Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa. - From a pure value standpoint I consider this to be the best pick overall. 

Worst Pick: Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College - I question Hawaii's thinking behind this pick considering they were doing so well before it but eh we all love some scrub we shouldn't. 

Round 2:

2.1 - Orlando Ospreys - Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma. - No words can describe the laughter and humiliation I feel for this pick, very good value and despite Mayfield's issues he should still go in the top 10 IRL plus insurance for Mahomes. A grade. 

2.2 - Sydney Dingos - Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama - Ridley is the top WR in this class and should have an immediate impact, at the very worst he should be a solid IRL no.2 depending on where he lands. B grade. 

2.3 - Orlando Ospreys - Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville - This is a solid pick not the CB I would've taken at this juncture but he fits here and provides solid depth at a weak position for Orlando. B Grade.

2.4 - Gotham Gashslayers - Mike McGlinchey, OT - Notre Dame - I really like this from a value standpoint and had McGlinchey as a top 10 player, not too sure he fills a need given who Gotham has at OT but still this is good value. A grade.

2.5 - Oklahoma City Roadkill - DJ Moore, WR, Maryland - Big fan of Moore and but he was  3rd best reciever in this class and probably shouldn't go this high, still weapons for Cam couldn't hurt given his IRL situation blows. B grade.

2.6 - Ivory Coast Black Rhinos (Soon to be Extinct) - Da'Ron Payne, DT, Bama - Very good pick considering the Rhinos issues on the d-line, fills a literal massive need and he was a top 3 player left for me hopefully he doesn't bring off the field Payne. A- grade.

2.7 -  Berlin Blitzkrieg - Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama - Doesn't hurt to double dip unless it's at QB and Berlin definitley needed two LBs out of this draft, they got the two best ones IMO as well. B+ grade.

2.8 - Cuba Smugglers - Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado - Like the pick considering how desperate Cuba is for CB help after trading away their star talent in Trufant, solid pick here and I had Oliver as a top 5 CB. B+ grade.

2.9 - Sydney Dingos - Donte Jackson, CB, LSU - I wanted to come out of this draft with Ward/Josh Jackson but that didn't work out, so thus I'll take the 3rd CB on my board who should go in the 20s IRL on the smaller side but he's a damn good CB. B grade.

2.10 - Sydney Dingos - Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn - He's a good CB and pads out my elite secondary just a bit more, probably should've been Davenport given the value he provided but I already have enough young edge rushers. B- grade.

2.11 - Rome Maternals - Marcus Davenport, Edge, UTSA - Given Rome's top edge rusher is Carlos Dunlap major upgrades were needed at the position, with Fowler busting hard Davenport is a welcome addition and should be a solid edge rusher and will help improve a very lacking pass rush. A+ grade.

2.12 - Orlando Ospreys- Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State - I had Gesicki listed at 90 on my BB, this is an F because I don't think anyone was gonna take him until maybe the 5th.... this feels a lot like the Josh Reynolds pick last year and he isn't even the best TE in this class. D grade.

2.13 - Cuba Smugglers - DJ Chark, WR, LSU - This isn't who I would've taken given the talent available but I get the pick given Cuba's WR issues. C+ grade.

2.14 - Camden HoodRodents - Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville - Camden's top QB was....Jacoby Brissett? Whoever he was this is a much needed pick and is a pretty solid gamble, though Jackson is easily the worst QB of the top 5-6 QB prospects. B grade.

2.15 - Orlando Ospreys - Josh Sweat, Edge, FSU - An FSU player not being deported to Cuba, how shocking....I had Sweat at 80 on my BB so again this is a pretty big reach by Orlando but at least he has upside at a premium position still there were better players available. C- grade.

2.16 - Camden HoodRodents - Isaiah Wynn, OL, Georgia - Given the issues Camden has up front it's smart to invest in protection for their young QB, solid pick and I like Wynn at this spot given he's probably not getting out the IRL 1st round. B+ grade.


Best Pick: 2.11 - Rome Maternals - Marcus Davenport, Edge, UTSA - This is a very good value pick that fills a massive need for Rome, not much to say here.

Worst Pick: 2.12 Orlando Ospreys- Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State - This is the biggest reach in the draft by quite a bit....I'll admit I'm not too familair with Gesicki but he isn't worth a top 32 pick.

Round 3:

3.1 - Cuba Smugglers - Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama - Another secondary player why am I not suprised, Ronnie Harrison is the 3rd best safety in this class depending on who you consider a safety but still this is a really good pick and helps to lay the foundation for Cuba's new secondary, sucks Harrison has to be deported to Cuba but oh well. A grade.

3.2 - Orlando Ospreys - Connor Williams, OL, Texas - Makes sense given Orlando has a few FAs on their o-line next year and Williams is a solid OT prospect....still this is a bit high for him fits more about 10 picks later but it's fine. C+ grade.

3.3 - Oklahoma City Rejects - James Daniels, C, Iowa - This is a pretty good pick I had Daniels at 37 on my BB so this pick is a solid value and helps fill a need for Whicker given his horrible issues last year. B+ grade.

3.4 - Long Beach Leprechauns - Taven Bryan, DL, Florida - I had Bryan as a top 12 player so this is a bloody steal, was tempted to snag him at 2.9 as well trade up was pretty good value as well, props to Counselor for making the best pick in the draft so far IMO. A+ grade.

3.5 - Orlando Ospreys - Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas - Another questionable o-line pick for Orlando I'd prefer another C if you're taking an injured player (Ankle Injury for Ragnow) but I get this pick from a needs perspective still this is a big reach over superior players especially considering Orlando could've taken Daniels before Whicker . C- grade.

3.6 - Portland Horned Bowls - Will Hernandez, G, Utep - The lineman Orlando should've taken after before Williams or Ragnow, this is a solid pick that addresses Portland's biggest weakness on offense and gives them a potential rookie starter on day 1, Feel like Portland should've traded down to get extra picks if that was possible considering this was their only pick this draft but eh. B+ grade.

3.7 - Seoul Dragons -  Justin Reid, S, Stanford - Not too crazy about Reid as a prospect but he's a solid get here. B- grade.

3.8 - Oklahoma City Rejects - Billy Price, OG/C, OSU - Price IMO was a 1st round lock prior to the pectoral tear, he's a 2nd rounder now because of that but there's no doubt he was the top interior lineman in this class before that injury trade up was good value as well. The only reason this isn't an A+ is because of price's injury and the fact he may not recover until his second season (Ala Sidney Jones). A grade.

3.9 - Gotham Gashslayers - Hayden Hurst, TE South Carolina - Tried to trade back into the draft for this guy unsuccessfully, think he's worth a RL 1st rounder this is some good value. A grade.

3.10 -  Hawaii Nightmares - Mike Hughes, Cornerback, UCF - Considered him at 2.10 went with the slightly better CB, suprised he lasted this long. B+ grade.

3.11 - Camden Hoodrodents -  Courtland Sutton, WR  SMU - Was my no.2 WR for most of the draft process, a fine replacement for Mike Evans as well. B+ grade.

3.12 - Orlando Ospreys - Ronald Jones, RB, USC - Over Sony Michel? I guess we all have our weird preferences for inferior players still this is a solid pick that replaces David Johnson. B grade.

3.13 - Ivory Coast Black Rhino - Maurice Hurst, Defensive Tackle, Michigan - Heart issues are always scary and Hurst should probably be fine but stll there's some risk to this pick even though he's a top 25 talent. C+ grade.

3.14 - Hawaii Nightmarchers - Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M - Don't like Kirk all that much but he was no.30 on my BB so this is god value and Hawaii could use another WR or three. B+ grade.

3.15 - Camden Hoodrodents -  Darius Leonard, LB, SC State - Top 65 player for me this is about his range not a ton of fvalue here though, could've waited a bit. B- grade.

3.16 - Camden Hood Rats - Sony "Playstation" Michel, RB, Georgia - I had Michel as a top 26 player so this is some pretty good value, Lord knows Camden could use a RB that isn't made out of glass still he has fumbling issues. B+ grade.

Best Pick: 3.4 Long Beach Leprechauns - Taven Bryan, DL, Florida - Not much to say here but Counselor is clearly using some kind of witchcraft to get such good value.

Worst Pick: 3.13 - Ivory Coast Black Rhino - Maurice Hurst, Defensive Tackle, Michigan - While I gave Orlando the worst grade, in the spirit of mocking everyone fairly I'll give the Rhinos the worst pick here, I love the value but hate the downside to the this pick.


Round 4:

4.1 -  Seoul Dragons - Tim "Don't" Settle, DT, VTech - I'm not going to make the obvious joke, Settle provides some okay value here and helps out at a position of need. B+ grade.

4.2 - Hawaii Nightmares - Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State - If he doesn't end up with a Gogurt sponsorship his career will never have lived up to it's full potential, getting the 2nd best TE in the draft this late is pretty solid as well. B grade.

4.3 - Camden HoodRodents - Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon - After the O-line prospects have been picked clean Crosby was the 4th best one left on my BB (70th overall) don't hate the pick but I don't think he's worth it here. C+ grade.

4.4 - Gotham Gashslayers - Kerryon "Big" Johnson, RB Auburn - Don't really have any thoughts on Johnson but he's a good get here. B grade.

4.5 - Long Beach Leprechauns - Sam Hubbard,DE, OSU - I don't think Hubbard is anythign special but he's a solid edge rusher and at the very least should be a solid rotational guy. B grade.

4.6 - Orlando Ospreys - Dante Pettis, WR, Washington - Bloody great returner, not sure he's going to do too well at the next level given he seems on the thinner side but he could be a Tyler Lockett esque player only a lot healthier. B- grade.

4.7 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Kolton "Child Molestor" Miller, OT, UCLA - I like this pick considering Miller was the best o-lineman left on my board, still he's a bit raw and could use some good coaching to get up to his talent level. B+ grade.

4.8 - Orlando Ospreys - Nathan Shepherd, DT, Fort Hays state - No idea who this guy is so I can't judge the pick all that well, I'll give it a C+ to be neutral still I feel like he could've been taken a bit later. C+ grade.

4.9 - Gotham Gashslayers - Deon Cain, WR - Clemson - Big fan of Clemson WRs and Cain looks to be another solid product from them, should be a solid WR compliment to Thomas/Landry. B grade.

4.10 - Cuba Smugglers - Malik Jefferson, ILB, Texas - Like the pick considering Cuba's LB corps is a wasteland of no talent scrubs and Jefferson was the best LB left on the board. B+ grade.

4.11 - Oklahoma City Rashes - Anthony "T.J" Miller, WR, Memphis - According to google he plays baseball so bust. - B grade.

4.12 - Camden Hood Rats - DeShon "The next Eric Berry" Elliott, S, Texas - Had him at 55 on my BB, this is a good pick. B grade.

4.13 - Louisiana Jizz  - Equanimeous"The Horse Guy" St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame - Not crazy about the trade up for a medicore WR prospect especially considering Louisiana's glaring lack of starters in the secondary, Brown's a solid WR but he doesn't do anything special to set him apart. C+ grade.

4.14 - Singapore Sentinels - Jessie Bates III, S, Wake Forest - Singapore's first pick of the draft, meh Singapore could use the safety help so this works. B grade.

4.15 - Orlando Ospreys - Fred "Greek God" Warner, LB, BYU - According to google Jamie Collins but crap in run support, meh not the worst Orlando pick this draft. C+ grade.

4.16 - Rome Eternals - Braden "wait for it" Smith, G, Auburn - Had him at 66 on my BB, this is a solid pick. B grade.

Best Pick: Berlin Blitzkrieg - Kolton "Child Molestor" Miller, OT, UCLA - Kolton was the only top 45 prospect left so I feel like getting him in the 4th deserves this honor. 

Worst Pick: Nothing stood out as terrible this round so no Worst Pick.

Round 5:

5.1 - Camden Hood Rodents - Mason Rudolph,QB, OK State - Lamar Jackson has a very low floor so smart to get some insurance, not crazy about Rudolph but it never hurts to have a developmental QB on the roster plus Camden can use all the QB help they can get.  B+ grade.

5.2 - Ivory Coast Black Rhino - Nick Chubb, Running Back, Georgia - I like Chubb as a RB and this is a bit later than he should've gone, waiting to get the 3rd best RB in the draft in the 5th is nice and some teams should learn to wait on RBs *Cough* Berlin *Cough*  A grade.

5.3 - Oklahoma City Rampjumpers - Brian O'Neill, OT, Pittsburgh - Had him in the 80's on my BB so I don't love the pick but it's the 5th so it's the right time to start reaching. C+ grade.

5.4 - Wichita Woodpeckers - Arden Key, EDGE, LSU - I could go either way on this pick, it's a low risk gamble with a ton of upside but still we all know Key has like an 80% rate still props for being the one to pull the trigger and it's not like you need an edge rusher. B+ grade.

5.5 - Camden Hood Rodents -  Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma - Love the tape however a few forum members could probably outdo him at the Combine.... still the tape doesn't lie. B+ grade.

5.6 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Lorenzo Carter, LB, UGA - I get taking another LB but you already took two studs, probably would've been better off spending this pick on a position of need....(Like QB). C+ grade.

5.7 - Orlando Ospreys -, Austin Corbett, OL, Nevada - I can't remember the last time a Nevada player ever did anything with their career besides Kaepernick so that doesn't bode well for this pick but I'm sure he has a high Slaytics score. C+ grade.

5.8 - Camden Hood Rats - Josey Jewell, LB, Iowa - Like the pick and there's not much more to it aside from a bad pun about his name. B grade.

5.9 - Rome Eternals - James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State - Had him at 82 on my BB and you could definitely use some receiver help, solid pick here. B grade.

5.10 - Gotham Gashslayers - Rashaad "Pincher" Penny, RB - San Diego St - He's worth about what his name says he is. C grade.

5.11 - Oklahoma City Rats - Michae "Giddyup" Gallup, WR , Colorado St - Never hurts to add WR depth especially looking at OKC's WRs.... and he has a nice name so he could probably work out. B grade.

5.12 - Orlando Ospreys - Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon. - I can't remember the last time an Oregon offensive player transitioned well to the NFL aside from Kyle Long (Mariota hasn't so far) so I'm skeptical of this pick. C+ grade.

5.13 - Singapore "Wolverine Did nothing wrong" Sentinels - Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford - SirA usually seems to be good for one late round gem per draft, I think Meeks is that gem. B+ grade.

5.14 - Leprehauns  - Rasheem Green ,DL, USC - He's a bit green and could use some more time in the oven but other than that this is a solid get here. B grade.

5.15 - Seoul Dragons - Terell Edmuns, S, VTech - He gave himself an A+, who am I to disagree? A+ grade.

5.16 - Leprehauns - Uchenna Nwosu LB USC - That name is going to give announcers issues for a decade....  love the pick. A grade.

Best Pick: Ivory Coast Black Rhino - Nick Chubb, Running Back, Georgia - I love Chubb as a prospect and think he's a tremendous value here, waiting on RBs is always a good idea because RBs are a dime a dozen in today's NFL (See SirA last year and pretty much every other year) 

Not Best Pick but close enough: Camden Hood Rodents -  Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma - I think Brown is probably the most talented player left aside from Key, thus best pick goes to Camden, would've gone to Seoul if they didn't grade themselves.

Worst Pick: Wichita Woodpeckers - Arden Key,EDGE, LSU - While there were bigger reaches and players I didn't like as much for some teams, this pick offers the highest bust rate so thus it is the worst pick, it's a good gamble but a very high risk one.

Round 6:

6.1 - Hawaii Nightmares - Chukwuma "Chuks" Okorafor, OT, Western MIchigan - That's a bloody mouthful... F- for the name, B for the pick. B grade. 

6.2 - Ivory Coast Black Rhino - Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Edge, Oklahoma - That's a name that hurts my brain, pronounced "o-BO-ny-uh o-kor-RON-kwo" according to NFL.com. He won big 12 defensive player of the year so he must be a good pick at this juncture, probably. B grade.

6.3 - Singapore Sentinels - Martinas Rankin, OT, Mississippi State - Hell if I know if he's any good, google says he's not but he majored in "Kinesiology" so he might work out. In all seriousness this is a good value pick and Singapore could definitley use the help at OT. B grade.
 
6.4 - Oklahoma City Red Rockets - Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma - A player from Oklahoma drafted OKC I'm shocked, Solid pick considering Reed is made of glass and Andrews has some decent upside. B+ grade.

6.5 - Seoul Dragons - Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State - I mean the dude has a great/horrible name depending on how you read it, no idea who he is and I don't feel like googling it so I'll be neutral here. C+ grade.

6.6 - Rome Eternals - Armani Watts, S ,TAMU - Like the value here and I like Watts as a prospect, B grade.

6.7 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Geron Christian, OT, Louisville - Nice to see Berlin addressing their OT issues, never can have enough o-line depth and Geron looks likely to be a solid starter. B grade.

6.8 - Seoul Dragons - Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia  - Eh this about the right range for Kiser and he looks like he'll be a solid LB. B grade.

6.9 - Cuba Smugglers -     Jaylen Samuels, TE/OW NC State - A 5'11 TE. GG wasted pick. D grade.

6.10 - Gotham - Marcel Ateman, WR - Oklahoma St - CBS has him as the 38th player in this draft, I think CBS is on drugs but that's something I guess. B grade.

6.11 - Singapore - "Bo" Duke Ejiofor, DE, Wake Forest - I like Duke as a prospect he's a heck of a rusher and will probably jump the snap count a hell of a lot though. B+ grade.

6.12 - Singapore - "Luke" Duke Dawson, CB, Florida - If only for drafting two players named duke back to back, this deserves a solid grade. C+ grade.

6.13 - Wichita - Jamarco Jones OT, Ohio State - It's a shame Jones will probably be counted on as a starting lineman for Wichita at some point. C+ grade.
 
6.14 - Camden Hood Rats - Harrison Phillips, DT,  Stanford - This man is a freak of nature and should at the very worst be a solid starter/reserve. A grade.

6.15 - Seoul -  Antonio Callaway, WR, Florida - Get the upside but this dude is a major headcase I wouldn't touch him until the scramble but this is the 6th so upside is what you reach for. C grade.

6.16 - Rome -  CB Anthony Averett, Alabama - Meh rome could use the CB depth sure why not. B grade.

Best Pick: Camden Hood Rats - Harrison Phillips, DT,  Stanford - I'd say Phillips is a steal at this point in the draft.

Worst Pick: Seoul -  Antonio Callaway, WR, Florida - Callaway is a scramble guy, I mean it's the 6th round and who cares at this point but still feels like a wasted pick.

Round 7:

7.1 - Louisiana Jizz - Trayvon Henderson, SAF, Hawaii - I mean ok sure why not it's the 7th who cares. C grade.

7.2 - Leprechauns - Shaquem Griffin LB UCF - Was hoping to trade back in for Griffin at one point in the draft, this is a good pick. B+ grade.

7.3 -  Singapore Sentinels - Mark Walton Jr. RB Miami - SirA'S RB steal of the year dont' know if he'll be as good as last years but we shall see. A grade.

7.4 - Hawaii Nightmarchers - BJ Hill, DT, NC State - He should help keep teams from going downhill on you too much. B grade.

7.5 - Cuba Smugglers - Dorance Armstrong, Edge, Kansas - I don't think he's that good but it's the 7th so screw it why not. B grade.

7.6 - Cuba Smugglers - Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana - Cuba could use an actual TE so this pick makes a ton of sense, shame Thomas kinda sucks. C grade.

7.7 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Da'Shawn Hand, DT, Alabama - I really like Hand think he'll be a solid reserve at the next level, B+ grade.

7.8 - Cuba Smugglers -     Derrick Nnadi, NT, Florida State University - Cuba taking an FSU player how shocking, at least it's solid value here. B grade.

7.9 - Cuba Smugglers - Brandon Parker, OT, North Carolina A&T - With Joe Thomas retiring I expected cuba to go OT earlier but this works. B grade.

7.10 - Gotham Gashslayers - Kemoko Turay, EDGE - Rutgers - According to Jlash he sucks so I'll take his word for it. C- grade.

7.11 - Singapore - Genard Avery, LB Memphis - I can't tell if his name is a typo or his parents actually named him that. B grade.

7,12 - Singapore - DaeSean Hamilton, WR, Penn State - Penn State has a solid recent history of WRs in the NFL, Hamilton could follow in their footsteps. B+ grade.

7,13 - Cuba Smugglers - Matthew Thomas, ILB, FSU - An FSU player how shocking, still props to MD4L for hoarding 7ths and adding cheap depth and homer players. B+ grade.

7.14 - Cuba Smugglers - John Kelly, RB, Tennessee - Never hurts to add depth at RB in the last few rounds espcially with Cook's injury, solid pick. B grade.

7.15 - Berlin Blitzkrieg - Tarvarius Moore, S, Southern Mississipp - Given Berlin's safety issues this pick makes sense. B grade.

7.16 - Wichita drafts WR Simmie Cobbs Jr., Indiana - I mean his catch in the gif was damn good, he could work out or like most Hoosiers end up he'll suck. B grade.

Best Pick: 7.3 -  Singapore Sentinels - Mark Walton Jr. RB Miami - SirA drafting a RB in the last 2 rounds, need I say more?

Worst Pick: Wichita 7.16 WR Simmie Cobbs Jr, Indiana- For drafting Mr.Irrelevant and not actually sending him on a vacation like the real Mr.Irrelevant gets this is truly the worst pick of the draft.

Although I’m not a UF Guy, Gardner-Johnson is legit.

My favorite player in the draft. Been hiding that in the GM Mocks... he has some issues but I’ll take the gamble and hope he turns out to be a player.
