2022 NFL Draft Bets

weezel32

There was a long time I completely nerded out on the NFL draft. I was in a dynasty league that required it to be competitive. Since that league folded a few years back, coupled with years of ineptitude by Raiders’ drafters, I don’t dive all in on the draft as much as I use to. But that doesn’t stop me from firing bets off. Where would be the fun in that. I won’t have time to break down these, but did want to post my running log of NFL draft bets. These have been placed over the last couple of … Continue reading 2022 NFL Draft Bets

NFL Draft Recap–Values and Reaches

weezel32

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

NFL Draft Live Blog

weezel32

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

NFL Christmas: I Am Weez Mock Draft

weezel32

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

Mock Draft Season

weezel32

WIth the NFL draft less than a week away, the mock drafts are flying. It is never a bad idea to look at a few, for a general sense of what is expected to happen.

So, here is a spreadsheet: The mocks included are Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks with NFL.com, Mel Kiper and Todd McShay with ESPN, Kevin Hanson with Sports Illustrated, The Huddle Report’s Forrest Long, and DraftAce’s Ryan McCrystal. This will probably get updated Thursday, the day of the draft. It may even include the Weez … Continue reading Mock Draft Season

NFL Draft 2020 Composite Rankings

weezel32

The NFL Draft is set to kick off on April 23. As one of the few things that well feel normal in the sports world right now, even if it is held under a completely revised format, there should be plenty of eyeballs on this year’s selection process. There are multiple people who look at prospects, either professional or as an extensive hobby. But instead of just using one person’s ratings, composite rankings smooth out the outlier opinions a bit. The below rankings are an average ranking of 13 different source rankings. Included this year are Daniel Jeremiah, Charlie Campbell, … Continue reading NFL Draft 2020 Composite Rankings
