    Great bit Smitty.
    "That's the heartbreaking part of the draft. You like so many guys, and they get picked, and you say, 'There goes another one.' It hurts, but you can't have everyone you want."

    Loved the read. But I'm sad to see Benjamin doubted by so many
    Bold Predictions:
    Cordarelle Patterson replaces Josh Gordon in the top 5 WR group.
    (Julio, Calvin, AJG, CP, and Dez)

    Andre Williams proves himself to be the best RB in this class, by having the most productive rookie season of all the rbs.

    I like him, but unsure overvaluing is smart. Some have him at 1.04.

    The thing about the over valued player that was stated I see when watching tape on him is:
    He needs to stop to catch the ball as prefer to a great WR catching on the run.
    When he does catch the ball he goes right down most of time not making the extra attempted to gain more yards.
    When he plays in the NFL all this will be magnified.
    My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
    QB Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, Josh McCown
    RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
    WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
    TE Z Ertz, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
    DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
    K Steven Hauschka

    Those are great points. One of the things that Julio does really well is that he goes up to get a ball then lands and keeps going. This is a really hard thing to do...and most dont do it (Benjamin)

    And that's not overvaluing.

    Smitty your specific answers are hitting on all cylinders. Nothing like a fantasy test to see who's got it, no doubt that's you!

    Great stuff, thought your picks were spot on.

    I was laughing at the guy who said he was going to "avoid some low hanging fruit" and then picked the player he did.  He went to the top of Mt. Everest for that one
