The day has finally come and gone- and rosters have arrived. And drafts grades! The starting point of every season.But before we triumph or despair over draft grades, lets set the record straight: These grades are broken. IDP projections are all over the place- and in many cases nonexistent. Having even one projected 'zero' in your lineup is enough to dilute your grade; some teams have upwards of four or five. So the grades should be taken with a grain of salt.
At this point (YEAR X) all fourteen teams in the league have enough experience to know what makes a competitive roster and how to grind their players to a success. To win a championship it takes the perfect mix of (healthy) elite players, high ceiling development, high floor stability, optimal weekly streaming, choice claims, fortunate adds and lucky breaks. A draft day roster is a starting point, and dozens of difference makers are lurking on the wire even now. Injuries, role changes, and game flow will dictate results- not hedged bet projection analysis.
Week One play begins a week from tomorrow, (Thursday September 6th) and continue through Monday September 10th. At that point we'll get some points, and wins, and losses on the board and see this story begin to unfold: Sixteen chapters from now, thirteen teams will be disappointment- While one will hold the Larkspur Bowl's Silver Chalice aloft.
This is where your team comes from; From here on out, your decisions will determine where it goes.
