[CBFF] CBFF FFL draft grades

[Victor Waldron]

Keep in mind a few things when looking at the grades:
-These are my grades for your team, since I'm the Commish I rule the land.
-The grades are in no way a prediction on how a team will do over the 
season. The draft is only one facet of season success.
-I tried my best concealing the names of the innocent (and in this case 
the guilty as well).
-I am mean.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dutch Bears: C
Depth at the important RB and WR positions, but "depth" and "quality 
depth" are two different things. Went with old guys at WR (Galloway, 
McCardell). Took Chicago (D) too early in the draft with the #24 pick 
overall leaving plenty of talent on the board. As long as Mr. TD is 
scoring will be a tough team but you hate depending on one player over 
an entire season.

Wazivok's Goin On??: B+
No Bears this season?!?!?!? Would have received an "A" if he hadn't 
taken a K (Feely) so early in the draft with so many decent skill 
position players left.

Battle Sharks: B
Solid draft considering "the GM" was grillin' at the time. Addai might 
have been a bit of a reach considering he's unproven, plus Branch's 
season is in question. And why two kickers when BYE replacements are so 
readily available?

Survive (or Parish): C
Reached on Hasselbeck (#28 overall), old WRs (R. Smith, Glenn, 
Keyshawn), and what's the point of having 3 QBs on the roster?

Verona Beeners: C-
Got caught up in the round 2 WR run and took Boldin, a solid choice but 
left some good RBs on the board. Overall, weak at RB the most important 
FFL position. A kicker in round 9, zoinks!!

Limp Ditkas: C+
Considering the uncertainty surrounding Portis it is difficult to argue 
him being a poor choice at #6 overall. There's no true fantasy #1 WR on 
the roster though Houshmandzadeh could put up good numbers. T. Jones 
might split carries later in the year, Dillon is getting old, and Priest 
is likely done for his career. Where's the production going to come from?

Remember Walter: A-
The only bad pick was taking Ahman Green at #55 overall. As long as TO 
behaves this will be a team to be reckoned with.

Des Moines Dragons: C
Solid starting RBs, decent WRs, a resurgent McNair, but what possessed 
this team to pick Shockey and Crumpler in successive rounds so early??

Alvis' Roughrider: D
No slack for the auto drafter. Dominick Davis, kicker in round 7, 
defense in round 8. Nuf said. There's actually acouple very talented 
players on this team who can have occasional big weeks so watch out.

Manhattan Maulers: A+
What else can you say other than CBFF FFL 2006 Champs!!!!

Iggy's Emus: D+
This team has no RBs, but has the best WR corp by far. Will need Tatum 
Bell to become starter in Denver, Fred Taylor to not actually show his 
age, and have Marion Barber be the starter in Dallas and be a stud. Oh, 
and an injured kicker in round 7.

Pam's Team: B
Looks solid at the starting positions but the bench is weak. Picked a 
kicker in round 7 when adding depth to more important postions would 
have been better.
