Draft rankings

I was thinking the other day and the thought crossed my mind, what makes a good blog? When you think about it what really makes a blog great is click bait titles and slideshows. So i thought about it and I should probably do the draft ratings in 12 separate posts. Really get the page views up, right. Well, I am way to lazy to be a great blog writer, someone who wants to break in journalism could demonstrate some ambition and produce some fake news with slide shows. One other thing before I go into the rankings. Week 2 and week 3 I have an absurd amount of arbitration to go that week, (32 and 26) so it would be great if someone would volunteer to do a recap of the week for those two weeks. You can do your own thing with the style of the recap. Remember it is only 1 week for 2 people or 1 person for 2 weeks so you don't have to be super creative to pull it off. Since it was such a hassle to get someone to call Chris during the draft I have no doubt that no one will volunteer but I have hope that I am wrong.

Here are my rankings of teams after the draft, remember injuries happen every year so a great waiver wire pickups can save a roster.

12. Chris- The WR are good but I am not sure he has a RB that is going to start this year, Crowell might but does anyone expect the jets to be good. If Rodgers gets hurt this team could be on a one way track to the raffle.
11.  Dan- is the reason Dan's team rates so low because it has 4 current or ex bills players on it, yes. In terms on talent in the starting lineup it could be a top team but if Captain Kirk doesn't like the cold in the twin cities this roster could be in big trouble. Btw, I believe in Kirk, to at least not bust. Okay, it's really just picking Coleman.
10. Ryan- I hope this roster is better than what I am rating it as. The issue is Jeffery, the shoulder may keep him out a few weeks and with the lack of depth on this team those weeks he misses could be too much to overcome. I hope he plays though.
9. Roger- For not having his first two picks and wasting an early one on Tom Brady his team is surprisingly good. Penny and Mckinnon are both players that could have breakout years or you know have there jobs taken from them by week 4.
8. Steve- The defending champ had a solid draft except for trying to draft T. Hill twice after drafting him. Barkley, Collins and Drake all have a super high upside that could push this team up the season rankings if they live up to their potenitals, they also have low floors.
7. Connor- Just imagine if this team had Fournate on it instead of Ronald Jones, which is the trade Connor essentially made plus a second player on Ronald Jones level. Maybe Jones has a huge rookie year but it probably won't match a healthy Fournate.
6. Doug-Maybe I should rate Doug lower but I like Alex Smith in Washington, I actually thing he could have a very good season there. The key player is Henry if he is a stud this is a good team if he is not this is a run of the mill team.
5. Alex- I love how boom or bust this team could be Hill, Smith-Schuster and Newton are all players that could have great weeks. Bell and the very average Ajayi should give it a good floor to balance out the variance of the other three players.
4. Matt- Jimmy G could have a huge year, think Matt Ryan of two years ago. Kamara could establish himself as a true workhorse while Ingram is out. The worry is Green being brought down by the completely average Dalton, why is Lewis the guy leading the bengals on the sidelines again?
3. Brendan- Am i still made you stole Freeman right from under my nose, yes, yes I am, I also think that Robinson will bounce back in Chicago and Julio is Julio.
2. Frank-I am not going to compliment myself to much but super happy I got my favorite player Zach Ertz as well as Matt Stafford. The lions look like they added some talent on that line so this could be the year Stafford is the number 1 QB, okay I am dreaming a but to much with that.
1. Rich- Okay, Rich could have gone home after the first two rounds and he would have been the favorite but remember the year Roger had 5 first round picks and still didn't make the playoffs. I remember that too.
