Draft day grades
As we enter into year four of TNML the love and respect that has been formed between each team continues to amaze. The poet Huey Lewis said it best, "The power of love is a curious thing." What else could explain each captain basically saying "fuck it, let's roll it back," when the draft was intentionally set up to try and change teams up.
To illustrate the following combos have been together since year 1:
1. Big Phil/Collier/Eddie (Ben has been with this group for 3 of the 4 years)
2. MD/KC/Josh
3. Saller/Elliot/Zinski/Coleman
Much like your fantasy football league everyone leaves the draft thinking they drafted the best team possible. But did they? Let's recap:
Big Phil - A++
This is what is referred to in the men's league universe as a "Field Fucking Draft." Bold, ballsy moves in taking Collier over Elliot and then Eddie over Zinski and Josh. Then taking Erik over electing to go with 4 players. If there was a grade better than an A++ Big Phil would get it.
Saller - F
After wearing iron covers for the last two summers Saller spent the offseason thinking about what holes he needed to fill. Apparently the only hole was Parker. Lot of pressure on Joe now.
MD - F
Remember when Jordan retired the first time and the Bulls replaced him with Pete Myers? Well MD replaced Jack with Jay and Parker. Pretty comparable.
Best Pick: Collier
Worst Pick: Josh
Most Surprising Pick: Coleman (really thought Matt would go a different direction)
Least Surprising Pick: KC
Most Disappointing Pick(s): How did we let these three (see picture) end up on the same team?
Season is officially here. Can't wait!
