Just Another Night, Just Another Draft

Simple redraft league, head to head, with people from work.

1. Julio Jones - WR - ATL - PICK 4
2. Brandon Marshall - WR - NYJ - PICK 25
3. Mark Ingram - RB - NO - PICK 32
4. Latavius Murray - RB - OAK - PICK 53
5. Andrew Luck - QB - IND - PICK 60
6. Golden Tate - WR - DET - PICK 81
7. Denver Broncos - DEF - PICK 88
8. Coby Fleener - TE - NO - PICK 109
9. DeVante Parker - WR - MIA - PICK 116
10. Terrance West - RB - BAL - PICK 137
11. Christine Michael - RB - SEA - PICK 144
12. Cincinnati Bengals - DEF - PICK 165
13. Jay Cutler - QB - CHI - PICK 172
14. Jared Cook - TE - GB - PICK 193
15. Brandon McManus - K - DEN - PICK 200

Notes: Was very glad to have Jones at 4, as  Beckham and Gronk went to fans of various franchises; to me, Jones is the #2 pick... Ingram at 32 was Best Available RB, and I guess he's in a better situation than CJ Anderson, but health is an issue... Not a huge fan of Murray, but the line is for real, and it's not a given that any of the back ups can take the gig over him... Luck at 60 might be my favorite pick in the draft... I'm not sold on Tate's talent, but it looks like Detroit is going up tempo, and he's got a pretty solid floor of 1000 / 6 TDs... Much of this draft worked out without poaching, which either means my rankings are shiite, or I'm going to contend... Balanced roster was intentional, since we went 14 teams and 15 players, which means the free agent pool should be pretty weak... I'm hoping that between West and Michael, some lottery ticket hits... Cutler could be in the works for a big year, given that he had good numbers last year with WRs who are on milk cartons... Looking at the other teams, I think I'm going to compete, but NFL.com's rank says 5-8 and hosed. Sheesh.
