Round 1

  1. The Pullies – Breece Hall (RB, Jets) – B

  2. MN Moose Knuckles – Drake London (WR, Falcons) – B

  3. MN Moose Knuckles* – Kenneth Walker (RB, Seahawks) – C+

  4. Las Cabras – Garrett Wilson (WR, Jets) – B-

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – Jameson Williams (WR, Lions) – C-

  6. Win’s Up Doc – Treylon Burks (WR, Titans) – B-

  7. Cooper Troopers – Dameon Pierce (RB, Texans) – B

  8. SG Choppers – Chris Olave (WR, Saints) – A

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Skyy Moore (WR, Chiefs) – D+

  10. MN Moose Knuckles* – Kenny Pickett (QB, Steelers) – A+

  11. $traight Cash Homie – Jahan Dotson (WR, Commanders) – C-

  12. Ornery Otters – James Cook (RB, Bills) – C

Notes: There were no true shockers here, other than Kenny Pickett falling to 10. Hall being able to trade up for Pickett, the only QB with ‘22-season upside, is a great get for his organization. Elswehere, the SG Choppers getting Chris Olave at 8 is a perfect fit. An NFL-ready receiver who can be plugged in Day 1 to Jordan’s lineup. The difference between Olave and the rest of the crop is significant, though Skyy, Dotson or even Cook could return great value.

Round 2

  1. The Pullies – Rachaad White (RB, Buccaneers) – D-

  2. Sporty Strauss – George Pickens (WR, Steelers) – A+

  3. The BamO’s – Christian Watson (WR, Packers) – B+

  4. Las Cabras – Brian Robinson Jr. (RB, Commanders) – D

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – Michael Carter (RB, Jets) – B

  6. Win’s Up Doc – Malik Willis (QB, Titans) – C+

  7. Cooper Troopers – Mike Gesicki (TE, Dolphins) – C-

  8. SG Choppers – David Bell (WR, Browns) – B+

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Desmond Ridder (QB, Falcons) – C

  10. DTC Porkchop Express* – Rondale Moore (WR, Cardinals) – B

  11. Ornery Otters* – Isaiah Spiller (RB, Chargers) – D

  12. Ornery Otters – Darrell Henderson (RB, Rams) – A-

Notes: Taking Rachaad White over Pickens or Watson is a poor choice. It’s understandable given that White is the handcuff to the Pullies’ own Fournette, but he’s losing value there. Pickens was a great value at 2.02 for Sporty Strauss and The BamO’s should just feel lucky that they are getting one of the rookie WRs at their draft spot. Both Malik Willis and Desmond Ridder were taken in this round, and it’s a big gamble for those teams, but the draft died off significantly after Christian Watson went to The BamO’s, so it’s hard to grade anything too harshly.

Round 3

  1. The Pullies – Tyler Allgeier (RB, Falcons) – F

  2. MN Moose Knuckles – Khalil Herbert (RB, Bears) – C

  3. The BamO’s – Romeo Doubs (WR, Packers) – C+

  4. Las Cabras – Wan’Dale Robinson (WR, Giants) – B+

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – Marcus Mariota (QB, Falcons) – A-

  6. MN Moose Knuckles* – Jalen Tolbert (WR, Cowboys) – C+

  7. Shepherd Goods Choppers* – Alec Pierce (WR, Colts) – B+

  8. Shepherd Goods Choppers – Isiah Pacheco (RB, Chiefs) – C

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Melvin Gordon (RB, Broncos) – B+

  10. Sporty Strauss – Zamir White (RB, Raiders) – B

  11. Sporty Strauss* – Allen Lazard (WR, Packers) – B+

  12. Ornery Otters – Tyler Boyd (WR, Bengals) – C+

Notes: Speaking of grading things harshly, what are The Pullies doing!? They are reaching for RBs every single round, and they are making the same mistake they made last year with Mike Davis – taking a below-average Falcons running back early. There was good receiver value in this round, especially amongst rookies. But Lazard and Boyd round out the round by giving their teams a startable body.

Round 4

  1. The Pullies – Jakobi Meyers (WR, Patriots) – D

  2. MN Moose Knuckles – Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, Falcons) – A

  3. MN Moose Knuckles* – Tyrion Davis-Price (RB, 49ers) – B-

  4. The BamO’s* – DJ Chark (WR, Lions) – F-

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – Noah Fant (TE, Seahawks) – A-

  6. DTC Porkchop Express* – Albert Okwuegbunam (TE, Broncos) – C-

  7. Cooper Troopers – Mitchell Trubisky (QB, Steelers) – A-

  8. Shepherd Goods Choppers – Russell Gage (WR, Falcons) – C-

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, 49ers) – A+

  10. Sporty Strauss – Nico Collins (WR, Texans) – A

  11. $traight Cash Homie – Kenneth Gainwell (RB, Eagles) – B

  12. Ornery Otters – Zach Ertz (TE, Cardinals) – B

Notes: The Pullies continued their awful draft from the one spot by taking a vet receiver with little upside, but this round is notable for the DJ Chark trade, one of the worst in LoL to date. Elswhere, TEs start flying off the board in rapid succession between these two rounds, and that’s great value on those players.

Round 5

  1. The Pullies – Kenny Golladay (WR, Giants) – D

  2. Minnesota Moose Knuckles – Irv Smith Jr. (TE, Vikings) – A+

  3. Las Cabras – Trey McBrice (TE, Cardinals) – A+

  4. Las Cabras – John Metchie III (WR, Texans) – F

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, Chiefs) – A

  6. Win’s Up Doc – David Njoku (TE, Browns) – A+

  7. Cooper Troopers – Jamaal Williams (RB, Lions) – B+

  8. Shepherd Goods Choppers – Chuba Hubbard (RB, Panthers) – B-

  9. Win’s Up Doc – KJ Osborn (WR, Vikings) – B-

  10. Sporty Strauss – Isaiah Likely (TE, Ravens) – D+

  11. $traight Cash Homie – Jarvis Landry (WR, Saints) – C

  12. Ornery Otters – Hassan Haskins (RB, Titans) – F

Notes: The TE run continues, and this was the sweet spot. Irv, McBride and Njoku all draw A+’s, the last of a tier of TEs that could be started this season. Likely was (likely) a reach, but we will see! That’s the beauty of it.

Also notable is a long run of Las Cabras players who might not provide value this season. Rookie TEs don’t usually play, though McBride was a good pick. Their WR this round is out for the season with Leukemia. They traded their previous round. Round 2 had a guy with gunshot wounds, and the first round pick has Zach Wilson/Joe Flacco throwing the ball in a crowded receiver room. Not many immediate contributors for Las Cabras, who expect to contend this season.

Round 6

  1. The Pullies – Jamison Crowder (WR, Bills) – F

  2. MN Moose Knuckles – Isaiah McKenzie (WR, Bills) – B

  3. The BamO’s – Corey Davis (WR, Bills) – C+

  4. Las Cabras – Pierre Strong (RB, Patriots) – C

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – 49ers D/ST – B

  6. Win’s Up Doc – Jacoby Brisset (QB, Browns) – A+

  7. Cooper Troopers – Bills D/ST – B

  8. SG Choppers – Mecole Hardman (WR, Chiefs) – B

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Jeff Wilson (RB, 49ers) – B

  10. Sporty Strauss – Ravens D/ST – C

  11. $traight Cash Homie – JD McKissic (RB, Commanders) – A+

  12. Ornery Otters – Buccaneers D/ST – B

Notes: Lol Pullies. They draft an aging vet receiver who isn’t even the slot starter for the bills. McKenzie is and he went with the next pick. But most notably in this round are the Defenses, each of whom denoting teams that might be trying to contend this season. With massive roster sizes, having defenses that can contribute to wins early in the season is a huge boon for these rosters, even if they are passing on players. But players in this range hopefully never start for a team anyways.

Round 7

  1. The Pullies – Hunter Henry (TE, Patriots) – A+

  2. MN Moose Knuckles – Dallas D/ST – C

  3. The BamO’s – DeVante Parker (WR, Patriots) – A

  4. Las Cabras – Trey Sermon (RB, Eagles) – D

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – Ronald Jones (RB, Chiefs) – A

  6. Win’s Up Doc – Geno Smith (QB, Seahawks) – A+

  7. Cooper Troopers – Raheem Mostert (RB, Dolphins) – A+

  8. SG Choppers – Patriots D/ST – C-

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Gerald Everett (TE, Chargers) – A

  10. Sporty Strauss – Laviska Shenault (WR, Panthers) – C

  11. $traight Cash Homie – Colts D/ST – C

  12. Ornery Otters – Tyquan Thornton (WR, Patriots) – C

Notes: With how many teams only have 2 QBs, Geno Smith making it this long is surprising. Win’s Up Doc is the recipient of the good luck, and he got Drew Lock later in the draft to pair. His QB situation (until Penis Watson returns) is still the worst in the league, but at least he will have 3 starting options every single week between the Browns, Seahawks and Justin Fields.

Round 8

  1. The Pullies – Gus Edwards (RB, Ravens) – A+

  2. MN Moose Knuckles – Julio Jones (WR, Buccaneers) – C-

  3. The BamO’s – Robert Tonyan (TE, Packers) – A

  4. Las Cabras – Kendrick Bourne (WR, Patriots) – D

  5. Wait ‘Til Next Year – D’Ernest Johnson (RB, Browns) – D

  6. Win’s Up Doc – KJ Hamler (WR, Broncos) – B

  7. Cooper Troopers – Justin Tucker (K, Ravens) – B+

  8. SG Choppers – Kyle Rudolph (TE, Buccaneers) – F

  9. DTC Porkchop Express – Keaontay Ingram (RB, Cardinals) – C

  10. Sporty Strauss – Evan Engram (TE, Jaguars) – A

  11. $traight Cash Homie – Sony Michel (RB, Chargers) – D-

  12. Ornery Otters – Sam Howell (QB, Commanders) – B+

Notes: Justin Tucker is the first K to go, and it’s actually a good pick! He’s the best kicker in the league and is perfectly acceptable as one of the Cooper Troopers’ final keepers.
