I took part in our league's annual fantasy draft at Buffalo Wild Wings on Saturday.
I've been in this 10-team PPR league for a good while. And I'm pondering how I did.
Since it's an ESPN league, they send you an email afterward with a draft grade. I got a B.
I wasn't thrilled about the draft spot I got, which was 7th. I would have preferred 9th or 10th.
Regardless, I usually just draft the best player available, and with the seventh pick, I drafted Lamb and picked Josh Jacobs in the second round. It's a snake draft.
I'm a homer for Alabama players, and I had Jacobs last year when I won the league.
In the third round, I went with Kenneth Walker because it sounds like the Seahawks are going to be run-heavy this season, and when he's healthy, he's good.
I have never taken a quarterback in the early rounds, but there was Jalen Hurts sitting there as my best available. I also wasn't thrilled with the RBs and WRs in that part of the draft.
I picked DeAndre Swift in the fifth round. We'll see how that pans out.
Even though I don't have to have a tight end in my league (we have three WR/TE spots with one Flex spot), Kittle was there, and he's one of few healthy pass catchers for the 49ers right now.
In the seventh and eighth rounds, I picked Ridley and Jameson Williams, respectively. I'm hoping Ridley breaks out with Cam Ward, and I like Jameson.
In ninth round, I went with Olave, who had a down year last season because of concussions. Someone has to catch passes in New Orleans.
I possibly reached for Jordan Mason in the next round, but Aaron Jones rarely plays a full season, and I'm hoping Mason takes over the starting job.
I snatched Egbuka in the eleventh, and if he breaks out like some pundits think, he could be a great value.
I got some good news today that Daniel Jones is going to start Week 1 because I selected Pittman Jr. in the twelfth round. Supposedly Pittman has a good rapport with Jones.
After that I nabbed Charbonnet to handcuff Walker and Drake Maye in the next round for the hell of it.
Then in the next-to-last round, I picked the Seahawks D, which I've already dropped for the Cardinals D in Week 1. I usually stream defenses.
And I finished it out with Alabama alum Will Reichard. I'm also a Vikings fan.
