Another year, another draft and another draft grades from yours truly. In a post 30 world we are now seeing where the men leave the boys behind. This past weekend not only did we get to enjoy each others company but we were gifted so much more. Gabe leaving half drunk beers littered through the house, Paul running the beer die tables even though he couldn’t see straight and as always Daniel finding whatever he can bitch about. Now that the draft has settled we will see where the dice of landed. AND ROLLING!
Mike Brooks: B-
I started with Mike because I know he wont read anyone else’s, but his own. You’re welcome Mike. Our once mighty Mike now sits upon a pile of ashes of what once was. 2021 was his chance to become king again, but he fell short. Luckily for him he will not need to worry about losing in the championship this year…because he wont make it. But don’t worry Mike you will make the playoffs, if you’re wondering how, see below. Mike drafting Cooper Kupp with the 5ht pick wasn’t the wrong choice, but sadly it was not the right choice. Skipping on Justin Jefferson will be the ghost of Christmas past that haunts him. A starting RB duo of Najee Harris and Aaron Jones will do just enough to get him that 5th seed. All though he doesn’t claim them anymore, Mike’s team will flutter just like the San Diego Chargers do every year. *Los Angeles Chargers
Dustin Srinivas: C
Dustin is so close to being a championship contender, but one mistake will allow the entire league to not need to worry about Jonathan Taylor and Tyreke Hill. That mistake being Diontae Johnson. Passing on Jeudy, Scary Terry, St. Brown, Allen Robinson and Jaylen Waddle was the fumble of the draft. Dustin does have one glimmer of hope and that will be the 6th seed. We will get the joy of watching him and the next person in this draft battle our for the last playoff spot.
Paul Kurywchak: C+
Honestly the most impressive draft strategy I have ever seen was Paul raw dogging this years draft with no ADP. And the best part was he started off with bombs. A Derrick Henry Chubb backfield is a force to recon with, followed by two solid WRs in Lamb and Jeudy. And here gentlemen is where the wheels fell off the bus. Paul was quick to stack up his bench with weekly flyers that he will have to pray he starts the right Flex players week by week. Good luck in week 9 with half of your team on bye, Brad should thank you for the W now.
Gabriel Fabian: D
Gabe gets a D, as in, Gabe has to have a giant Dick to draft the way he does. I guess at that altitude all of his blood was rushing to the incorrect head. Two solid picks to start the draft followed by what one would call a shit show. I honestly do not know who you start in RB2, Flex1 and Flex2. Luckily for the rest of the league you figured out a way to make CMC and Davante Adams irrelevant this year. All I can say is thank you for allowing us to know who the first person will be not to make the playoffs.
Daniel Masters: B-
Daniel’s team wont deserve to make the playoffs, but as we all know FF isnt about what you deserve. His team reminds me a lot of a chocolate cake that looks amazing. You start with the first bite that his amazing, but as you go on you realize that the double chocolate filling was just over compensation for a waste of calories. Lucky for Daniel his team will be relevant enough to allow him to complain about how he was one bad matchup of winning the entire league. As the saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Also I love the Darren Waller pick.
Charlie Yates: C+
Sorry Charlie, LOL, this just aint your year. You drafted maybe the best player in FF but followed it with an entire team of flex players. Being that you’re actually my favorite person in the league I am going to give you some help. Trade Paul Mark Andrews, Chase Edmonds and Randale Moore for Knox, Josh Jacobs and Michael Tomas. Giving you the fighting chance you need to make the playoffs.
Andrew Miller: D-
The only reason Andrew doesn’t get an F is because I could never do that to the most entertaining TE in the league. Miller might have one of the biggest swings year to year that we have ever seen. And we’ve watched Brad go Taco to Champ. The Leonard Fournette Tee Higgins combo will go down in history books as the biggest snafu o f the 10 guys 1 cup league. Don’t worry Ill help set your line up after week 9 when you go 0-9.
Parker Johnson: C+
And just like that our Taco is back to Mister 500. Not a single one of Parker’s picks are bad and he’s going to have fun all year. The problem is Parker is playing to make the playoffs, not when a Championship. He somehow drafted a better WR class than he did last year and he didnt waste his first 7 picks on them. Michael Pittman easily could be a top 8 WR this year giving Parker the extra boost he needs to get that 5th place spot.
Bradley Barber: B+
Bradley coming in hot with the best chance we have ever seen of having someone go back to back champs. A RB duo that can carry him into the promise land of Mixon and Williams is great to see. Although he has no backups if either of them go down he filled his team with two WR1 and Flex positions players that would easily start on everyone else team. The hype train of Bradley Barber is no more and we have finally watched our young prince turn into a mature adult making calculated decisions. And U AINT THE CHAMP NO MO!!!
Dextrick Abeyta: A+
Is it gay to fuck your Boys? Because after this draft I actually dont have a choice but ravage this league.
Dex Might Know 
When I was a small boy, my grandpa and I were close. Growing up, I always looked up to him.
When I was in high school, I picked up smoking cigarettes. Just bumming one or two at a time and eventually graduating to a pack-a-day habit. One day I came home, and my dad was on the couch crying, which was alarming. My dad never shed a tear for as long as I can remember. He had just learned my grandfather had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
My grandfather was a smoker his entire life. He knew of my secret cig habit and asked me to quit. After years of fighting cancer in his lungs, he died. I kept my promise and haven’t smoked a single puff since he left this earth.
Now I’m furious. Quitting smoking was really difficult. I crave that sweet, sweet nicotine every day. But that’s not what pisses me off. What pisses me off is that I put in the hard work and put down the smokes, and reading this blog post still gave me cancer.
