I have gotten into a pretty good routine these last few months. This week, I got slightly off routine, as we ripped up carpet, stained hard wood and painted walls this week. All of that also meant the kitchen is … Continue reading Training Log: Kaizen May 4-10

I already live blogged round one Thursday night here, but wanted to circle back around and give some quick thoughts on values and reaches in each round. These are not really about finding perfect fits for needs or drafting someone without a need, but more about overall consensus needs. Round 1 Best Values 17. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Dallas Cowboys. The Oklahoma wideout was the #2 wide receiver on the consensus big board, number 9 overall, my personal #1 receiver and Footbball Outsider’s Playmaker champion this year. He was the third WR off the board at pick 17 to a team … Continue reading NFL Draft Recap–Values and Reaches

Video feed crashed, so I’m live blogging it. We’ll Do It Live! Bengals–Joe Burrow, QB. Bengals had to do this one or the fans may have rioted. I personally would have gone Chase Young, but I get it. Highest graded PFF QB season since they started grading (2014). #1 QB in Footballoutsider’s QBase as well. Bengals just have to hope the improvement was not because of Joe Brady, two first-round receivers and being a year or two older than most QB prospects. 2. Redskins–Chase Young, DE. It’s probably a good thing they are not in Vegas for this. If I … Continue reading NFL Draft Live Blog

The NFL draft always feels special, even for those Raiders fans who suffered through the late Al Davis’ late years. With no sports for a month, and some (me) relegated to betting on home dart tournaments (don’t ask how that went), the draft feels needed this year. Back when I was in more dynasty leagues, I did more draft research than I have the last couple of years. That is not going to stop me from trying to sound smarter than I am with a mock draft, however. So, here goes… Cincinnati Bengals–Joe Burrow, QB, LSU. (2) Washington Redskins–Chase Young, … Continue reading NFL Christmas: I Am Weez Mock Draft
