Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I have been asked to analyze the draft of @Jack Brickman, so here it goes:

Clinton-Dix Out for Harambe (Jack Brickman)
QB - Russell Wilson
QB - Jameis Winston
QB - Mitchell Trubisky
RB - David Johnson
RB - Mark Ingram
RB - Spencer Ware
RB - Kareem Hunt
RB - D'Onta Foreman
RB - Giovani Bernard
WR - Keenan Allen
WR - Eric Decker
WR - Martavis Bryant
WR - Tyrell Williams
WR - Josh Doctson
WR - DeSean Jackson
WR - Kenny Golladay
WR - Marqise Lee
TE - Travis Kelce
TE - David Njoku
TE - Austin Seferian-Jenkins
TE - Gerald Everett
TE - Seth DeValve
LB - KJ Wright

Clinton-Dix Out for Harambe: B+

Jack Brickman shows he has no time for defense in the 1st half of this draft and loads up on specific positions (QB, RB, and TE). He has drafted his team well with a very nice balance of impact players right now as well as drafting loads of future potential. There are questions regarding the WR and DL/LB/DB positions which may affect his team's ability to really put other teams away on a weekly basis, but he's drafted very strongly here. He'll need to draft some defense at some point and hope those players can give him consistent points week to week.

The RB group that Brickman has drafted is definitely a strong point with arguably 5 of the top 30 RB's drafted. David Johnson at #2 was a no-brainer as he averaged 23.3 touches per game and led the NFL with 2,113 total yards from scrimmage. Ware and Ingram are both solid RB2's that are lead backs in their offenses and will still contribute significant fantasy points and lead Brickman's team to some early fantasy victories.

The QB position is very strong as well with two top 10 QB's that will be leading this team for many years to come (unless traded). Winston has really gained some weapons from last year with Desean Jackson and OJ Howard in Tampa, and the relationship of Winston and Mike Evans will lead to many touchdowns, this year, and in the future as long as he can limit his turnovers. Hopefully, Wilson has recovered from injuries that slowed him down a bit last season which limited his mobility. His receiving core is suspect as well as his offensive line, but he can create offense on his own and his scrambling allows for extra fantasy points, which other top tier QB's don't bring. Obviously Trubisky will be groomed as Chicago's starter and its a good pick for the future as there's not too much standing in his way.

The TE group is young, but has a leader in Kelce who should eat up targets in KC without many great WR options. Njoku, Everett, and DeValve may not contribute a lot right now, however they are extremely athletic and the potential is great. Brickman's WR core is good, not great with no real fantasy studs. Allen is a solid option, however there are injury concerns and with the Chargers using a 1st round pick on a WR, how long is Allen the #1 option. Bryant has shown potential, but still has some character concerns as well as questions at who will be the next Pittsburgh QB once Big Ben is gone. Decker and Jackson should put up good numbers in new offenses and will contribute steady points. Lots of nice young potential here to with Doctson, Williams, Golladay and Lee.

All in all, a strong team especially at the QB and RB position. TE has some great long term potential, however the WR position is weaker than many other teams, and the DEF is too incomplete to grade...Overall B+

Favorite Pick(s): Jameis Winston (#50), Kareem Hunt (#146)
Getting a Top-5 Dynasty QB at this point is great value, especially with the superflex position, Could be racking up fantasy points for many years with all his weapons; Hunt was an excellent choice as he will push for 1st team reps as well as a great handcuff for Ware, smart move

Least Favorite Pick(s):
Russell Wilson (#26), Austin Seferian-Jenkins(#215)
I like Wilson, especially with the superflex position, however I feel this pick could've been used on a WR,; Jenkins is ok in this spot, however there were several very good defensive players on the board that would leave the team with less question marks at DL/LB/DB
 
It's been 5 hours since the last pick, are we auto drafting this pick?

Affirmative Action: B-

Rookie has put together a pretty solid roster across the board, although some serious question marks keep him from a higher draft grade.

Let's start off with the good. First, his receivers are very solid. Brown is the best WR in fantasy, although not the most valuable in dynasty due to his age and uncertain future at his team's QB position. With Big Ben throwing to him, Brown is elite. When other QBs are throwing him the ball, though, he drops off in quality substantially. With rumors that Ben may not be much longer for the NFL, the days of Brown as a top-tier fantasy contributor may be numbered unless Pittsburgh can strike gold again with their next QB. For this year, though, he should continue to be one of the best receivers in the league.

I am also a big fan of Cooks, although the overall quality of the New England receiving corps may limit his upside this year. Snead should see an increased role with Cooks gone, though, and I'd expect him to be a solid flex guy in our single PPR setting. Similarly, Pryor should be in line for a great year with an actual quarterback throwing him the ball every week. The only thing standing in Pryor's way could be a healthy Josh Doctson, but until we actually see that, he's the WR1 in Washington. Cole Beasley was also a sneaky-good grab late in the draft, as he's another great PPR flex-worthy play.

Rookie has put together a very nice defense as well, and he's able to start four guys who all finished in the top ten at their positions last year. Landon Collins in particular is a defensive stud, and while some regression should be expected this year (he's probably not outscoring the next guy at his position by over sixty points again), he should continue to be one of the best DBs in the league.

And now on to the bad, and it starts with the running back position. Rookie only has four backs on his roster, and only one of them can be penciled in as a surefire starter this year. Howard is a great RB, to be sure, and likely to finish as a RB1 if healthy. However, Lacy may be stuck in a committee with two other talented backs, and he may not ever start for Seattle at all. Meanwhile, it's hard to trust any of the RBs in New England, as Belichick has historically rode the hot hand and been a terrible coach for fantasy owners to gamble on when it comes to the running game. While either Gillislee or Burkhead may emerge as a true RB1/2, it's far more likely that either of them could be the lead back in any given week, thus making them both a tough play in fantasy.

The long-term prospects of his TEs seems murky as well. Delanie Walker is a great TE, no doubt, but he's also thirty-three, and he may lose out on some valuable red zone targets with Eric Decker on the team, not to mention the other additions to the passing game like top ten pick Corey Davis, third-round receiver Taywan Taylor, and rookie TE Jonnu Smith. I'm also not sold at all on Jack Doyle. He's a horrendous athlete (13th percentile height-adjusted speed) and, if Moncrief is healthy, won't be the guy that Luck looks to in the end zone either. Further, it's not difficult to see second-year TE Erik Swoope carving out a bigger role this year and relegating Doyle to the sidelines. Dwayne Allen isn't bad, to be fair, but he'll continue to be the secondary TE in New England and will likely remain little more than a bye week play rather than a weekly starter.

Finally, the quarterback situation is equally murky for Affirmative Action. Dak Prescott, obviously, should continue to be a QB1 or 2 in fantasy football. He's an incumbent starter behind an elite offensive line with plenty of weapons in the passing and running game. However, after Prescott, there's just a gaping hole. Carson Palmer is on his last legs, and may not be around after this year. Josh McCown, on the other hand, is just terrible, and unlikely to give much production on an equally terrible Jets team. There is virtually zero chance that McCown stays healthy the whole year, and beyond this season he'll likely revert to back-up status. Rookie would have done well to snag some youth at the position, especially after selecting Palmer as his primary superflex option.

Overall, this is a good team, though. There are holes, to be sure, and questionable depth at some key positions, but barring major injuries Rookie's team could certainly be contending for the playoffs this year.

Favorite Pick(s): Terrelle Pryor (#67)
Pryor was just a great value at that point in the draft...one of the only primary receiving options left on the board.

Least Favorite Pick(s):
Larry Fitzgerald (#91)
While Fitzgerald is an all-time great, he's almost done at this point, and Rookie passed over some talented guys with longer careers ahead of them like Cameron Meredith, Julian Edelman, Eric Decker, and Emmanuel Sanders, not to mention starting RBs like Spencer Ware and CJ Anderson that could have really helped address his lack of depth there.
