Power Powell Rankings Week 1 (post draft)

What a lovely, lovely evening last night's draft was. Picks were made and almost everything went according to plan outside of the first round. You see I had fully expected Curt to take Lynch, Dawson to take Morris/Martin and leave me Tom Brady. Never in a million years did I expect to be able to take a top five running back that far into the first, so I had to do it. That meant I lost a step in the QB rush and had to settle for some less then thrilling QBs, but overall a stacked team after those Joe Shmoes. The draft felt surreal in that almost every pick not made by Stan I said to myself "you can have him", but Stan was on fire his team is incredible and that means:

1. The Keith-glorious Basterds (Last Week 1): Keith had a calculated draft after he shocked the world with Andrew Luck first overall. It helped to inspired the prophetic QB Rush of 2014, as it will be remembered for the history of our league, and got him "his boy" Brandon Marshall in the second. On paper I can't help but see Keith's face smiling, tongue gently poking out through his teeth and thinking "It's coming up Milhouse" in regards to this years prospects!

2. Niners (Last Week 4): Stan has two of the most prolific QBs in his arsenal, two second tier RBs, mid range WRs and a serviceable TE. His starting lineup is arguably as strong as Keith's and he has a shot at a title for sure. He has to hope for some luck with health at RB, but between the waiver wire or a sneaky trade he's golden.

3. Russell Wilson Throws a Sexy Deep Ball (Last Week 2): Andrew had another confident draft. He picked flashy upside WRs with low risk "skin on the wall" reliable QBs. Andrew already had a solid core so this should only cement him as a playoff contender.

4. Sideliners (Last Week 5): Steve picked up a complementary QB for Cutler to work with, the Niner's run game and a deep WR pool to swap in and out of his flex spot. Although he took Cooks a round early, I was going to if he didn't so I can't fault him.

5. NFL Owner (Last Week 3): Shayne already had solid keepers, so he needed to fill out the supporting cast which he did with some "proven" (read: older) RBs. He also added unique situational WRs that are going to be interesting to watch them progress as the season does.

6. Fear Boners (Last Week 6): My QBs aren't anything to write home about, but the rest of my starting lineup is deadly (on paper). I may need a little WR depth, but that's a manageable flaw.

7. Oh That's Nasty (Last Week 7): Dawson's draft was filled with "Dawsons". Rookies, Redskins and Riami Rolphins. Dawson may be ranked low now, but he has the potential to move up as his RB2 will allow him to.

8. What Are the Chances? (Last Week 8): Curt drafted a lot of "skins on the wall" players and it should work out for being able to assess what type of a performance he will get out of guys on a week to week basis.

9. Aaron "Primetime" Clapperton (Last Week 10): Outside of his questionable thoughts on WRs I liked Aaron's draft, it wasn't perfect but it was far better then...

10. BISP (Last Week 9): A team that already made me cry just took a shit on my sensitive eyes. There's not a lot to like about Powell's Perceivably Pedestrian Poop.

So there you have it folks some risers and fallers after one 2 and a half hour affair, I can't wait for Thursday Night!
