Since we don't do detailed analyses any more, here is the spot where you can celebrate, vent or moan over your 2016 draft.
Topics can include:
Favorites picks.
Picks that someone else took that you wanted 🤔😡
Picks too early/late.
Thin roster positions.
Who looks to be "loaded"?
Anything else you want to say.

Some years work out for you, some years don't.
Last year the surprise announcement that Tyrod Taylor was QBing for the Bills was made just in time for me to grab him in the 3rd round, and I learned via Twitter that Dion Lewis was likely -- with the Patriots you're never absolutely sure -- going to be the third down back, with extra involvement possible, and was able to grab him in the 10th round. Good luck draft.
This year -- nothing. Picked an undeserving rookie early, someone stole my handcuff a coupla rounds too early (I hope) and my serious sleepers were grabbed before I could get to them.
If my draft is to be a success it is up to Christine Michael to grab the #1 job in Seattle and justify his selection at 1.20.
Otherwise all I can say is that I have a player for every position in week one.

I hope my first round pick works out, but I probably took him to early. Part of this was due to being busy and not having time to do basically anything prior to the draft starting. I'm not a fan of pre-season football, but I have seen none of the games and no highlights. One of the curses of being a cordcutter and having kids who play sports resulting in being at their games and practices 6-7 days a week.
I also didn't start checking bye weeks soon enough. At this point, whomever I face in week 9 may get extremely lucky. Either I ditch a ton of back-ups, potentially starters or I'm not going to be able to field a line-up without byes in it.
I was also surprised by the Malcolm Floyd draft pick. I've had a love/hate relationship with Floyd for years. Good enough to put up big weeks occasionally, get picked up/drafted, and then to disappear for weeks at a time. When he was picked, I was surprised that he was still available. Until I looked online and saw that he retired after last year?

Floyd was on my team for years. I was surprised too because I thought he retired.
My draft went OK. My main need was WR, and I got the #2 and the #3 WR's on my first round list. My second need was LB, and I'm not sure I did as well there, but I did get a solid prospect in Jack. Then the Packers started stealing my players - 3 in 4 rounds, including Fletcher Cox and Graham Gano. The Gano pick was especially tough as I got caught out in the PK run, and ended up with an unproven rookie, though TB should give him alot of attempts.
Other than that, it was a pretty smooth draft. I have alot of WR to work with now and hopefully one or two of them break out.

My team (AZ) is gonna be bad. After riding Foles to the championship in 2013 it has all been downhill. Brock had better produce or else.
I should have taken one of the R RB in the first round instead of Shepard, unless Eli is forced to throw to him because Odell is covered. My Rb are Ajayi, about to be passed by Foster, and Barner who is at most 3rd string.
I traded and got Diggs but his stats take a hit with the Teddy injury, no one to throw to him. Landry will be needed for stats and I hope Parker does not outdo him as I gave him up for Diggs. Olsen's back needs to stop hurting.
If my IDP (Short, Ingram, Maartinez, Woodyard, Brown, Gilchrist, Weddle) can score 6-8 points each per week, that division should be OK, but I do need the Denver DST to stand out.
So my season, as I see it, rides on Brock, Diggs, Landry, Olsen and the Denver DST. If they bust, I am busted.
My draft was smooth, but I will admit forgetting which league I was in while picking players sometimes -- one reason I have no RB...
I haven't looked at other teams, but I know I will be interested in a spare RB...

Judy,
I don't have any great RBs, but I do have plenty of what I hope are quality RBs. I'm going to be out of town this weekend, but send me an e-mail or offer. I'm in the market for a WR with a bye week that is not 9.
