lol what did everybody get for their draft grade? Mine is a B. Apparently I have like a 48% chance of making the playoffs

I (well I didn't actually pick) got an A, 63% to make the playoffs, 34% to make it to the championship and 18% to win.

What's your team name?

I didn't see what my team was graded as. I'd give it a B+ though personally

I think you should trade me Baldwin. You literally stole him from me the very round I was gonna take him.

Okay. Now for something else: The projections I am looking at for my week 1 matchup against Noble.

Is there any sense in them? I mean, when I look at the QBs only, I have Rodgers against Jacksonville and he's projected to earn 15.8 fantasy points. Noble has Blake Bortles against Green Bay and he's projected to earn 18.96 fantasy points. That means Bortles is projected to outplay Rodgers in the week 1 game GB@JAX, right?

It's more like they think Green Bay will run up the score and then coast, meaning lots of run plays.  Bortles will have to pass a ton in order to try and catch up.  Basically, bortles will get a bunch of garbage time points.

Doesn't surprise me that you got an A. The system is optimized to pick the best player still available in the category you should draft next.

Afterwards the system rates how good the draft picks were, compared against the optimal pick that was still available at the time you had to draft. Basically, the system rates itself an A.

 

Yeah that's what I though, if it was me who pick the players I would have gotten a C at best

You can look it up by selecting "Draft Recap" from the menu in our league. You'll also get other stats like projected records and playoff chances.

Oh ok, thanks!

So Rodgers would only earn 16 points by driving up the score while the Packers defense is assumed to collapse instead of getting one or the other pick from a scrambling Bortles?

I guess this could happen, but I wouldn't use it as the most likely outcome.

What's actually gonna happen is the Jags are just gonna beat down the Packers. But Lacy will have a good game though
