A masterful draft-day performance by the GM of valentino_sxy's Team turned the seventh overall pick into a projected finish of third. They're expected to finish 8-5-0 (1,498 points) in TDL 2015 A League. They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Dez Bryant (first round), Jordy Nelson (second round), and Julian Edelman (fifth round). If these players can play up to expectations, valentino_sxy's Team can have some success. They are the best group of WRs in the league.
Week 9 might require some artful managing from valentino_sxy's Team. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have the easiest slate. Along with having the easiest overall schedule, valentino_sxy's Team has the second-easiest first four games of the season.

Player Analysis
-
- Dez Bryant, WR
- Round 1, Pick 7
The Power of PersuasionNow would be a reasonable time for valentino_sxy's Team to encourage the TDL 2015 A League to raise the value of receptions. They snagged Dez Bryant and his 87 projected catches (ranked 10th in the NFL).
-
- Jordy Nelson, WR
- Round 2, Pick 18
The Alchemistvalentino_sxy's Team chose the WR most likely to turn deep balls into TD gold. Jordy Nelson is projected to lead all NFL WRs in plays over 40 yards with 5.6 and TDs over 40 yards with 2.2.
-
- Jimmy Graham, TE
- Round 3, Pick 31
Will His Production Drop-Off?valentino_sxy's Team sure hopes not. Though he might not put up Saints-esque numbers, Graham is almost certain to be one of Russell Wilson's favorite targets moving forward.
-
- Matt Ryan, QB
- Round 4, Pick 42
It's a Bold Strategy Cotton, Let's See if it Pays Off For 'EmMatt Ryan has an ADP of only 60.1 across all Yahoo! leagues, and wasn't quite worth the 42nd overall pick.

- L. Blount, RB
- Round 6, Pick 66

Best Available
valentino_sxy's Team is projected to have a pair of subpar positions (RB and QB), but RB is clearly their weakest unit and an area that will likely need an upgrade.

How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent.
