Not a chance in hell I drop 2 of my next 3.

I wouldn't have even lost this week imo if not for a couple gameplanning blunders. I got a 3 game division lead to protect (mind you I can't lose the division lead now anyway). 

Never say never. I said I put in some upsets to try to make it more realistic and fun so the OKC one was an upset. Although I think a team with Mahomes is a threat to win against just about anybody any given week. But Gotham is as good as any team out there and I think matches up well against you so we'll see. This was just for fun and obviously is not going to be how it actually happens.

Yeha no I can definitely dig that, BUT if I win out, I secure the #2 seed despite my loss to AKB.

One of Gotham/Lancaster is the 5 seed in this scenario. Top 4 are division winners. 

Oh yeah, duh. I even did that for Singapore, moving them up to 4 but didn't think about both Gotham and I being up there. 

Playoff Matches
1. Berlin Blitzkrieg vs 8. New Orleans Jazz
2. Lancaster Werewolves vs 7. Ivory Coast Black Rhinos
3. Williamsport Soul Reavers vs 6. Cuba Smugglers
4. Singapore Sentinels vs 5. Gotham Gashslayers

1. Berlin Blitzkrieg vs 6. Cuba Smugglers
2. Lancaster Werewolves vs 5. Gotham Gashslayers

5. Gotham Gashslayers vs 6. Cuba Smugglers

Same result, different path. I think Cuba matches up well against both Williamsport and Berlin and knocks them out and makes it to the BizzBowl instead. I still have Gotham winning it though. Like I said before, most of the playoff matches were essentially coin flips though. One nice thing for Gotham in this scenario is they don't continue the absolute buzzsaw of a schedule like they did in the previous scenario and get a lighter matchup in the first round (no offense SirA).

1. Sacramento (from Portland)- Trevor Lawrence QB Clemson

This pick may or may not be traded but this would make the most sense for me as far as value. 

2. Sacramento- Penei Sewell OT Oregon

Pancakes is the second best prospect in this draft. If I want to build a contender any time soon I need to go BPA. Although looking at the schedule I think I have at least two more wins and WSR ends up picking here with OKC’s pick (they have a brutal final 3 games)

3. WSR (from OKC)- Justin Fields QB OSU 

WW may like Lance more but it’s hard to argue with what Fields has shown on the field. His accuracy, arm talent, athleticism is great. Some may be system related success with guys wide open and the pass blocking he receives and he needs to show some better composure under pressure. However, I firmly believe he is QB2 and would be a great pick here for WSR, and he probably goes to a slightly better situation than the Jets dumpster fire Lawrence is headed for.

4. WSR (from Hungary)- Ja’Marr Chase WR LSU

Hungary adds to their Ridley, Gallup, Lazard, Reagor group with a stud in Chase.  Routes, Contested catches, strength to beat press, Chase has the makings of a number 1. Fields will have a nice group of WR to throw to for the Soul Reavers. 

5. Seoul- Micah Parsons LB PSU

Parsons is a game wrecker moving forward. He has the athleticism to excel in coverage he just needs more experience. But his instincts, strength, and pass rush ability make him a tone setter at LBer for Seoul to pair with Simmons for the future.

6. Antarctica- Kyle Pitts TE UF

The Florida boys get their Florida guy. Pitts is a game changer at TE and can be a matchup nightmare. He’s not just a TE he is a chess piece with great athleticism and the ability to dominate the red zone as well as stretch the field. Would make a scary offense even scarier. 

7. Rome- Kwity Paye Edge UM

Rome needs edge help. Dunlap is older, Takk was just cut, Fowler is capable but has just 2 sacks in 8 games so far this season. Considered Rousseau but they go with the more sure thing here in Paye as he has been amassing pressures like nobody’s business. Paye looks to have the all around game that can help Rome tremendously up front.

8. Sacramento (from NO)- Patrick Surtain ll CB Bama

I need to keep building at corner. I traded away SMB (his role has been reduced in Tampa) and need more players here to compete and give me more stability. Surtain can do that.

9. Sacramento (from Camden)- Devonta Smith WR Bama

I need to keep building my receiver corps. Devonta isn’t the biggest receiver but he is savvy, has great hands, and produces. I need production. 

10. Singapore- Caleb Farley CB VT

This pick came down to two Opt Outs. Waddle got some consideration also but I think Sir really likes the young talent he has at WR and can use this pick to match talent with need. So between Rousseau at Edge and Farley at CB. Rousseau could help them with an edge presence but he’s unproven and a lot of work came on stunts, which he could incorporate with Donald and Cox. I however think Farley fills just as big a need and has less questions. He’s long, athletic and plays the ball very well. 

11. IC- Jaylen Waddle WR Bama

A surprise pick here, Ruskie has always been a BPA guy and with three second round picks he will fill some needs with talent matching need there. Waddle will be hard to pass on here. QB of the future may be a need and I considered Zach Wilson here but IC sticks with the formula that has led to some success for them. Adding Waddle to McLaurin, Claypool, and Anderson is nasty. Corey Davis is in the final year of his deal. While Waddle is coming off of injury his explosiveness added to this receiving corps is a scary thought. 

12. Cuba- Gregory Rousseau Edge Miami

Cuba goes BPA and takes a gamble on this state of Florida kid. While they could use INT help I don’t see a dominating presence worth this pick in this draft. They can get by with run stuffers on early downs and move Rousseau or Cam Jordan inside on passing downs to help generate rush. Also Chandler and Jordan have two years left on their deals and will be 31 and 32 respectively going into the 2021 season. This is a pick that could be a boom for Cuba. 

13. WSR- Trey Lance QB NDSU

Do they dare do it? A Fields insurance policy. May not be the best use of draft capital but if they both hit WW can trade one for big value in the future. Not bad for using their own pick and a pick they traded Byron Jones for. They do have some other needs but they have a ton of cap to spend on more proven players and can afford the gamble here. 

14. Gotham- Dylan Moses LB Bama

Gotham replaces Cunningham who is in the last year of his contract with Moses. BPA meets need type of pick. There are some offensive lineman Gotham could consider or even Zach Wilson but Gotham might survive off of the tank at QB. Moses has the athleticism to flourish in today’s NFL and gives Gotham a leader in the middle of their defense. 

15. Camden (from Lancaster)- Jaycee Horn CB SCAR

Camden has a lot of bodies here and a lot of guys that haven’t panned out or are hurt. Horn is a riser and I expect him to be a top 20 IRL pick. Adding the talented Horn to Ward and Sneed would give Camden a young corner group to build around for several years.

16. Seoul (from Berlin)- Rashod Bateman WR MIN

Seoul replaces Sutton with Bateman. Bateman has a diversified skill set and would help give Kyler a top weapon in the receiving game. 


Round 2

17. Sacramento (from Portland)- Shaun Wade CB OSU

Wade hasn’t been a Star so far and he needs some refinement on the outside but the potential is big and I need corner help. 

18. Sacramento- Wyatt Davis OG OSU

Joe Thuney is on a one year deal and I don’t know if I’ll resign him. Davis gives me a good interior o lineman as insurance and he is BPA for me at this spot. 

19. IC (from OKC)- Zach Wilson QB BYU 

BPA and area of need IC hopes they have landed their QB of the future. Wilson makes a lot of plays off script and while he hasn’t played against the top competition he has made some impressive throws that will translate to the next level. 

20. IC (from Hungary)- Creed Humphrey OL OU

Humphrey is a great addition to the interior of IC’s line. He is a powerful center and can likely line up at Guard also. This versatility will be welcomed in IC. 

21. Sacramento (from Seoul)- Joseph Ossai Edge/LB UT

I would like to run more 3-4 schemes in the future and adding Ossai will allow me to do that. Great size and effort, he can rush or cover and is a very versatile defender. Might be a bit early for him but he allows me to do a lot more with my defense and fills a rusher need. 

22. Antarctica- Alex Leatherwood OL Bama

Antarctica gets some much needed Oline help with the versatile Leatherwood. He has the ability to play inside or out and gives Antarctica the flexibility they need on the line.

23. Rome- Trevon Moehrig-Woodard S TCU

Rome drafted Delpit last year but he hasn’t played and they don’t know what they have in him. TMW (not tomorrow), is a ballhawk. He racks up Pass Deflections and can cover a lot of ground. He reminds me a lot of Justin Simmons. He is a player Rome can have roam deep at FS and play Delpit at SS. Gives Rome two long safeties that am cover ground. 

24. Camden (from NO)- Terrace Marshall WR LSU

Marshall is going to rise. Camden has Kupp, Brown and Hamler but they need to add more. Marshall has the height and speed to stretch the field but also runs great routes. Would be a solid pick here for Camden. 

25. Rome (from Camden)- Pat Frierermuth TE PSU

Rome needs TE help. Pitts went a pick before then in round 1 so they take Baby Gronk here. He gives them an all around TE who can do it all. A welcomed addition to the Rome offense.

26. Singapore- Jeremiah Owusu-Karamoah LB ND

JOK is a playmaker at LB. Might be a bit undersized but his versatility next to Deion Jones would make a big difference for Singapore here. He tracks the ball extremely well and can play in space and rush the passer. He had a great game against Clemson on the biggest stage so far of the college football season.

27. IC- Marvin Wilson INT FSU

IC continues to build up that Dline. Hurst has been hurt and they need some rotational players regardless. Adding Wilson to that dline can make IC even more fierce upfront. 

28. NO (from Cuba)- Trey Smith OG UTENN

Lukic grabs the versatile beast Trey Smith with this pick. He could use some Guard help opposite Bitonio and Smith will really beef up that oline to protect Allen and pave the way for the NO RB’s.

29. WSR- Paulson Adebo CB Stanford

An opt out player that can play the ball and make a difference in the secondary for WSR. They continue to add talented players to their secondary. If they resign Slay, Mullen, Davis, McKinney, Chinn and adding Adebo they have a very deep group. 

30. Gotham- Patrick Jones lll Edge Pitt

Jones is super explosive and has a nasty bend. He would give Gotham a pass rusher who can continue to develop his rush moves and add more consistency to go with his quick first step and bend and possibly develop into a pro bowl level pass rusher. 

31. Camden (from Lancaster)- Najee Harris RB Bama

Not sure Jlash would take a RB this high but Harris will bring a great talent to his backfield and allow Camden to control the clock on offense and wear down defenses. 

32. Berlin- Travis Etienne RB Clemson

Not sure if Rags would take a RB here either but he needs some RB depth behind Jones. Etienne is explosive and provides Berlin with great versatility here. Rondale Moore is another option here with his explosive playmaking added to OBJ, Brown, Kirk and Aiyuk would be pretty nasty.

I like Etienne a lot.
