I like your draft, but I'm just really concerned about your RB's. Pretty much you're resting everything on Bell and he hasn't even reported to the Steelers yet. According to reports today, they still don't know when or if he will return. If that is the case, you might have some problems. Otherwise, the lineup looks good.


I had my fantasy football draft yesterday. Once again, people were late getting there, they weren't prepared and the guys who were drafting online, couldn't figure out how to make their picks, even though we've used the exact same system since 1998. The good news was, we finished in record time........ 4 hours and 10 minutes. Yes, that's not a typo. Last year it took us over 6 hours and on average, our drafts last somewhere in the 7 hour range, so we're making progress. We elected to go from selecting 6 WR's down to 5. This would knock a round off the draft.

I drew the #10 pick out of 12 teams. Here are my picks in order.

1. Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers
2. Leonard Fournette, RB, Jaguars
3. Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs
4. Brandin Cooks, WR, Rams
5. Royce Freeman, RB, Broncos
6. Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster, WR, Steelers
7. Denver Broncos Def/ST
8. Michael Crabtree, WR, Ravens
9. Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas
10. Case Keenum, QB, Broncos
11. Marlon Mack, RB, Colts
12. Kansas City Def/ST
13. Dustin Hopkins, K, Washington
14. Michael Gallup, WR, Cowboys
15. Alfred Morris, RB/Flex, Niners
16. Caleb Sturgis, K, Chargers

I'm pretty satisfied. I was a bit disappointed that I missed out on my top QB targets though. Most of the top guys were gone by the 6th round, so I elected to wait and try to get DeShaun Watson in round 7. That was a mistake. He went at the end of round 6. From there, all of the available QB's were about the same value, so I decided to wait even longer. Hopefully, my other positions will be good enough to cover up my deficiencies at QB. Having 5 starting RB's helps me out a lot if I need to make a trade.
