    How bad was this draft?
    Yahoo Pro100

    1. (6) Demaryius Thomas (Den - WR)
    2. (15) Drew Brees (NO - QB)
    3. (26) Julius Thomas (Den - TE)
    4. (35) Roddy White (Atl - WR)
    5. (46) Ben Tate (Cle - RB)
    6. (55) T.Y. Hilton (Ind - WR)
    7. (66) Joique Bell (Det - RB)
    8. (75) Kansas City (KC - DEF)
    9. (86) Terrance Williams (Dal - WR)
    10. (95) Jeremy Hill (Cin - RB)
    11. (106) Jordan Reed (Was - TE)
    12. (115) Bernard Pierce (Bal - RB)
    13. (126) Jarrett Boykin (GB - WR)
    14. (135) Darren Sproles (Phi - RB)
    15. (146) Justin Tucker (Bal - K)

    Graded a C+ by yahoo which surprised me. I know it's weak at RB but I've got premiere players in every other position. F'er picking in front of me during the even rounds sniped Aaron Rodgers, Doug Martin and Alshon Jeffery so could've had a much different squad. Overall I think it's better than a C+

    I think it's ok, but C+ seems right to me. Those RBs are pretty rough, especially in a 10 team league.

      Taking a qb in round 2 is a mistake and taking a d in roun 8 is an even bigger mistake.

      You could've/should've landed a monster rb instead of a qb there and picked a handful of great options at qb later. I personally wouldn't of drafted a second TE either.

      Overall it's still good. missing that punch at rb you can count on every week though, that's my concern

        Reed is trade bait after Julius Thomas' week 4 bye. Can't argue too much with your points about QB and the D but from my perspective it's better to have two top 3 starters than a bunch of top 20's that I have to guess on every week. Hoping I can get some help at RB with Reed and probably Sproles or pierce if they can put up numbers the first few weeks.

          You should have drafted a RB in the 8th instead of a defense.

            The person drafting before you can have a huge effect.

              As it has been mentioned, defense in the 8th was brutal. You are very invested in Tate and Bell. You will most likely need an upgrade at RB to go with them. I'm guessing Reed will have some value to somebody.

                Agree defense in the 8th round makes no sense

                  Not bad. Tate might be a sleeper for you and then you will be OK. Great receiving core

                    I'd definitely try to flip Reed if he gets off to a good start.

                      5th round to pick a RB? That goes against every fundamental draft strategy. Chiefs D might have a good year but 8th round, there should have been half a dozen comparable or better defenses available 12th or later.

                        It's called 0 rb approach and many use it. Have a guy in my league who's first 2 picks were lacy and Ellington. Shit like that is why some don't like investing high picks in rbs
