Round 1

1 LeSean McCoy, Phi RB Armstrong
2 Adrian Peterson, Min RB Besser
3 Jamaal Charles, KC RB Simons
4 Calvin Johnson, Det WR Farrell
5 Matt Forte, Chi RB Van Kirk
6 Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB Underdown
7 Eddie Lacy, GB RB Hafner
8 Peyton Manning, Den QB Morris
9 Jimmy Graham, NO TE Livingston
10 Aaron Rodgers, GB QB Mckie
11 Drew Brees, NO QB Csonka
12 DeMarco Murray, Dal RB Walsh
13 Arian Foster, Hou RB Deacon
14 Doug Martin, TB RB Scott
I was shocked to see Lacy fall to 7th overall Some of that falls on me as I passed on him
and Forte to take Calvin. Why? I wanted to test out a strategy this year..Matching a up 3 WR with his top
5QB for double points.
Steal of the round Lacy at 7th
Reach of the round Drew Brees at 11th

Round 2

15 Le’Veon Bell, Pit RB Scott
16 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR Deacon
17 A.J. Green, Cin WR Walsh
18 Dez Bryant, Dal WR Csonka
19 Brandon Marshall, Chi WR Mckie
20 Giovani Bernard, Cin RB Livingston
21 Zac Stacy, StL RB Morris
22 Montee Ball, Den RB Hafner
23 Julio Jones, Atl WR Underdown
24 Alshon Jeffery, Chi WR Van Kirk
25 Alfred Morris, Wsh RB Farrell
26 Jordy Nelson, GB WR Simons
27 Julius Thomas, Den TE Besser
28 Antonio Brown, Pit WR Armstrong
I really did not want to go Morris here not a bad pick more safe the sorry I guess,>
I really had my eye on Jones or Jeffery here.
Steal of the round Demaryius Thomas who has a ADP of 8 overall
reach of the round Julius Thomas not a bad pick but his ADP of 31 suggests he might be back around in the 3rd
but he got his guy here.

Round 3
29 Randall Cobb, GB WR ArmStrong
30 Reggie Bush, Det RB Besser
31 Andre Johnson, Hou WR Simons
32 Matthew Stafford, Det QB Farrell
33 Andre Ellington, Ari RB Van Kirk
34 Ben Tate, Cle RB Underdown
35 Keenan Allen, SD WR Hafner
36 Vincent Jackson, TB WR Morris
37 C.J. Spiller, Buf RB Livingston
38 Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR Mckie
39 Frank Gore, SF RB Csonka
40 Cam Newton, Car QB Walsh
41 Rob Gronkowski, NE TE Deacon
42 Pierre Garcon, Wsh WR Scott
Reach of the round: Me with Stafford, I had my eye on Cobb here and after he went 29th overall I was left for the 1st time in the draft without a clear cut draft pick. Ellington would have been the smart play but after going Calvin 4th overall I figured why not let go double points. Staffords ADP is 44th.
Steal of the round: Has to be Gronkowski with a ADP of 30 a that’s a 11 spot fall.

Round 4
43 Ryan Mathews, SD RB Scott
44 Victor Cruz, NYG WR Deacon
45 Ray Rice, Bal RB Walsh
46 Vernon Davis, SF TE Csonka
47 Rashad Jennings, NYG RB Mckie
48 Roddy White, Atl WR Livingston
49 DeSean Jackson, Wsh WR Morris
50 Andrew Luck, Ind QB Hafner
51 Wes Welker, Den WR Underdown>
52 Percy Harvin, Sea WR Van Kirk
53 Toby Gerhart, Jac RB Farrell
54 Trent Richardson, Ind RB Simons
55 Michael Crabtree, SF WR Besser
56 Nick Foles, Phi QB Armstrong
So I went Gerhart and with a ADP of 37 it suggests I got a deal here but I think real life play he might be more in the 50-60ADP range. I needed a RB and I just could not draft Sankey here.
Steal of the round:Michael Crabtree I’ll take Crabs over Harvin and Welker this season
Reach for the round: Trent Richardson It had to be someone I guess.

Round 5
57 Michael Floyd, Ari WR ArmStrong
58 Torrey Smith, Bal WR Besser
59 Chris Johnson, NYJ RB Simons
60 Cordarrelle Patterson, Min WR Farrell
61 Terrance Williams, Dal WR Van Kirk
62 Steven Jackson, Atl RB Underdown
63 Colin Kaepernick, SF QB Hafner
64 Joique Bell, Det RB Morris
65 Jordan Cameron, Cle TE Livingston
66 Julian Edelman, NE WR Mckie
67 Stevan Ridley, NE RB Csonka
68 Bishop Sankey, Ten RB Walsh
69 Robert Griffin III, Wsh QB Deacon
70 Jeremy Maclin, Phi WR Scott
I was going to go CJ2K here but he was sniped right before me, I’m I happy with Patterson sure with a ADP of 46 I was kinda shocked he fell.
Steal of the round: I kinda feel like snagging Maclin at the end of round 5 in a 14 team league is great value.
Reach of the round: Hands down Terrance Williams with a ADP of 85 no doubt he would have been still on the board in round 6.Also RG3 or Ridley here both guys might have been sitting around on the round 6 swing.

Round 7

71 Jason Witten, Dal TE Scott
72 Shane Vereen, NE RB Deacon
73 T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR Walsh
74 Seahawks D/ST D/ST Csonka

76 Marques Colston, NO WR Livingston
77 Reggie Wayne, Ind WR Morris
78 Lamar Miller, Mia RB Hafner

80 Bernard Pierce, Bal RB Van Kirk
81 Maurice Jones-Drew, Oak RB Farrell
82 Golden Tate, Det WR Simons
83 Kendall Wright, Ten WR Besser
84 Darren Sproles, Phi RB Armstrong
Look its a flex spot here and the 7th round MJD is a great low risk pick here
Steal of the round: SHHHHHHHHane Vereen what a true steal here with a ADP of 53 congrats! that was a steal.
Reach of the round: None

Round 8
99 Khiry Robinson, NO RB Scott
100 Chris Ivory, NYJ RB Deacon

109 Zach Ertz, Phi TE Farrell
110 Greg Jennings, Min WR Simons
111 Steve Smith, Bal WR Besser
112 Tre Mason, StL RB Armstrong
Once Pitta went I just had the feeling I waited a round or two too long.
Steal of the round: I really like Moreno the hate on him is so crazy and in round 8 it can only help you more then hurt you.Also Bowe here.
Reach of the round: Tre Mason I liked a few guys in round 9 over Mason here.
