DRAFT REVIEW-STECK EXPRESS

The Who-Phoenix via Iowa, University of Iowa graduate. Recently severely outkicked his coverage in marriage, master of all things real estate, weekend hack on the golf course.

Best Value-Robert Griffin III ($10)-Compared to what some of the other QBs went for, this is a low, low price for a quarterback who finished in the top 3 last year. The only concern here is Griffin’s knee appears wonkier than a Dan Fletcher ankle.

Worst Value-Marshawn Lynch ($49)-This is when we remember that the Steck Express is an annual donor in all the fantasy leagues he plays in. Spending ¼ of your budget on an aging back is the type of behavior that lands this GM in the consolation bracket time and time again. It should be noted however that Lynch will always hold a special place in my heart for this classic postgame drive:

Sleeper pick-Rashard Mendenhall ($6)-Getting a starting NFL running back and one who has had a top 10 season for six bucks is worth the gamble that he’ll stay healthy and that the Cardinals putrid offensive line will block for him.

Draft grade-As far as drafts go, this is one of the best this general manager has ever had. That is however like saying Vanderbilt is going to have a good football season…….the bar is not real high. The draft does look solid however one must wonder if the fantasy football gods will punish the Steck Express for his actions during the auction regarding Calvin Johnson. Deliberately outbidding a fellow GM, no matter the price to deprive him of Black Jesus is something that will not soon be forgotten. B+
