Some of us (yes, me) may have been drafting since February at this point but the season really feels like it is gearing up when you participate in your first competitive roster management draft. There is no more competitive league I will be in this year than the Football Diehards staff draft. With nothing on the line but pride and the bragging rights to be the champion among us, this league will be taken very seriously. The draft, like many experts draft, was interesting and exciting. Strategies were deployed, bold picks were made and value was stolen. You can take a look at our Scout.com/Fantasy draft board here. Let’s dive right in and take a look at each team in order of the draft.

 

Chad Stapley

Bob was in an interesting position with the 12th pick. That draft slot is unique in the same way the first pick is. Drafting from the turn requires you to think much farther ahead than anyone else you are drafting with. Particularly with the 12th pick you find yourself having to reach a bit for players like Josh Gordon. Bob wanted to Gordon and would have been taking too much of a risk if he wanted to wait 23 picks in the hopes that Gordon would come back to him. On the flipside of that, Bob was able to stack total dominance at quarterback due to his pick at the turn. On the 7th/8th round stack, Bob drafted Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady. I am not sure this needs much analysis. With two quarterbacks who are more than capable of being top-five at their position, your biggest problem now becomes figuring out which one to play. That a really good problem to have.
