Standard scoring, with the obvious exception that receptions are worth 0.5 points. Draft was conducted on 7/13.

Round 1
1. Patrick Daugherty — Le’Veon Bell, RB1
2. Chet Gresham — Antonio Brown, WR1
3. Graham Barfield — Julio Jones, WR2
4. Rich Hill — Odell Beckham, WR3
5. Evan Silva — A.J. Green, WR4
6. Rich Hribar — David Johnson, RB2
7. Ryan McDowell — Ezekiel Elliott, RB3
8. Davis Mattek — DeAndre Hopkins, WR5
9. Raymond Summerlin — Rob Gronkowski, TE1
10. Jeff Brubach — Allen Robinson, WR6
11. Mike Gallagher — Todd Gurley, RB4
12. Adam Levitan — Dez Bryant, WR7
Notes: It was hard to pass up Odell Beckham, but with receiver ludicrously deep, I decided to go with the player who should be the next LaDainian Tomlinson if he could just stay healthy. … Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Beckham … there’s no real bone to pick. I’d go AB, OBJ, JJ, but there’s no wrong answer. … A.J. Green as the WR4 is maybe the first surprise — especially since Evan is legally married to Ezekiel Elliott in some states — but the logic is sound. Green is arguably the odds on favorite to lead the league in targets. … David Johnson could be this year’s David Johnson. … Elliott is possibly the most hyped rookie back in fantasy since Ryan Mathews. This one should have a happier ending. … I would be elated to get Todd Gurley at 1.11. To me, he’s the clear-cut RB2. … Allen Robinson probably had an unrepeatable 2015, but he’s the younger version of Dez Bryant.
Round 2
13. Adam Levitan — Keenan Allen, WR8
14. Mike Gallagher — Alshon Jeffery, WR9
15. Jeff Brubach — Lamar Miller, RB5
16. Raymond Summerlin — Jordy Nelson, WR10
17. Davis Mattek — Jamaal Charles, RB6
18. Ryan McDowell — Adrian Peterson, RB7
19. Rich Hribar — Mike Evans, WR11
20. Evan Silva — Brandon Marshall, WR12
21. Rich Hill — Eddie Lacy, RB8
22. Graham Barfield — T.Y. Hilton, WR13
23. Chet Gresham — Brandin Cooks, WR14
24. Patrick Daugherty — Doug Martin, RB9
Notes: I wouldn’t be caught dead taking Keenan Allen before Alshon Jeffery, but then again, this isn’t a best ball league … Lamar Miller has RB1 overall upside with coach Bill O’Brien. He’s that versatile, durable and … what’s the word … good. … Jordy Nelson may never quite be Jordy Nelson again, but he’s a worthy gamble as the WR10. … I fear Jamaal Charles is headed for a committee, but at least he’ll be a powerful chairman. … Adrian Peterson behind Charles is utter madness. I’d safely assume Peterson will cruise to another top-five finish. … If Miller is a dark horse for RB1 overall status, Mike Evans is his equivalent at wide receiver. … Brandon Marshall as the WR12 is a major discount if Ryan Fitzpatrick returns. It’s a slight overpay if he doesn’t. … T.Y. Hilton, Brandin Cooks and Doug Martin are as good of players as you could possibly hope to find at 22-24.
Round 3
25. Patrick Daugherty — Amari Cooper, WR15
26. Chet Gresham — Mark Ingram, RB10
27. Graham Barfield — Devonta Freeman, RB11
28. Rich Hill — LeSean McCoy, RB12
29. Evan Silva — Randall Cobb, WR16
30. Rich Hribar — Demaryius Thomas, WR17
31. Ryan McDowell — Sammy Watkins, WR18
32. Davis Mattek — Carlos Hyde, RB13
33. Raymond Summerlin — C.J. Anderson, RB14
34. Jeff Brubach — Golden Tate, WR19
35. Mike Gallagher — Jeremy Maclin, WR20
36. Adam Levitan — Jordan Reed, TE2
Notes: The Amari Cooper pick was a bit of a panic selection. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t match his rookie numbers. His game still has a little bit of growing up to do. … RB10 seems right for Devonta Freeman. At least thus far, owners are pricing in his inevitable regression without letting him fall too ridiculously far. … Demaryius Thomas, WR17 really stands out. Even coming off a disappointing year, and without Peyton Manning, he has top-six upside. … Sammy Watkins will be a dividing line pick this season. Either he wins leagues or costs owners who took him too early. … The Golden Tate/Marvin Jones debate will likely heat up considerably as the summer rolls on. … Jordan Reed’s injury history is such that I probably still wouldn’t draft him over Greg Olsen.
Round 4
37. Adam Levitan — Donte Moncrief, WR21
38. Mike Gallagher — Cam Newton, QB1
39. Jeff Brubach — Dion Lewis, RB15
40. Raymond Summerlin — Julian Edelman, WR22
41. Davis Mattek — Jordan Matthews, WR23
42. Ryan McDowell — Jarvis Landry, WR24
43. Rich Hribar — Michael Floyd, WR25
44. Evan Silva — Matt Forte, RB16
45. Rich Hill — Emmanuel Sanders, WR26
46. Graham Barfield — Kelvin Benjamin, WR27
47. Chet Gresham — Thomas Rawls, RB17
48. Patrick Daugherty — John Brown, WR28
Notes: Cam Newton is the QB1, as he should be. … Dion Lewis as the RB14 is probably a bit too aggressive outside of full PPR. The upside is there, but the carries could be inconsistent, not to mention the health. … Jarvis Landry is losing some of his fantasy luster, but I’d take him over Jordan Matthews 100 times out of 100. … Michael Floyd offers monumental upside for someone taken in the WR3 range. … Thomas Rawls is one of this year’s true enigmas. He has a top-five ceiling, but RB3 floor. … Emmanuel Sanders is probably a bit undervalued. The poor man’s Antonio Brown isn’t going to fall off the face of the earth just because Manning left town. … Speaking of Antonio Brown, John Brown is the closest thing we’ve got to him.
Round 5
49. Patrick Daugherty — Doug Baldwin, WR29
50. Chet Gresham — Eric Decker, WR30
51. Graham Barfield — Larry Fitzgerald, WR31
52. Rich Hill — Russell Wilson, QB2
53. Evan Silva — Duke Johnson, RB18
54. Rich Hribar — Tyler Lockett, WR32
55. Ryan McDowell — Allen Hurns, WR33
56. Davis Mattek — Jeremy Langford, RB19
57. Raymond Summerlin — Latavius Murray, RB20
58. Jeff Brubach — Matt Jones, RB21
59. Mike Gallagher — DeVante Parker, WR34
60. Adam Levitan — Ryan Mathews, RB22
Notes: It’s not often you can get a receiver who scored 14 touchdowns the previous year in the fifth round — especially in these receiver mad times — but it’s the proper draft slot for Doug Baldwin. 2015 will be his career year. The question is by how much. … Eric Decker’s ADP figures to go up about 1.5-2 rounds if/when Fitzpatrick re-signs. … Russell Wilson ahead of Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck? It’s certainly not insane. … I probably would have let Larry Fitzgerald keep falling, but any time you can get an all-time great coming off a 109/1,215/9 season, it’s probably not the worst idea in the world. … Duke Johnson has the upside to be a league-winning pick, no matter the format. … Tyler Lockett has too much competition in a run-first offense, but will probably single handedly win you a week or two. … Don’t tell Mr. Mike Clay you’re taking Jeremy Langford, but RB18 is a surprisingly responsible price. … It’s a bit of a surprise DeVante Parker fell so far. He probably won’t by August.
Round 6
61. Adam Levitan — Jay Ajayi, RB23
62. Mike Gallagher — Kevin White, WR35
63. Jeff Brubach — Corey Coleman, WR36
64. Raymond Summerlin — Frank Gore, RB24
65. Davis Mattek — Stefon Diggs, WR37
66. Ryan McDowell — Giovani Bernard, RB25
67. Rich Hribar — Aaron Rodgers, QB3
68. Evan Silva — Greg Olsen, TE3
69. Rich Hill — Coby Fleener, TE4
70. Graham Barfield — Travis Kelce, TE5
71. Chet Gresham — Melvin Gordon, RB26
72. Patrick Daugherty — Ameer Abdullah, RB27
Notes: Jay Ajayi is another Dolphin who probably won’t come quite as cheap by the time draft season is in full swing. … Kevin White ahead of Corey Coleman? I’d definitely flip it. Coleman will be his team’s No. 1 option. White, a distant No. 2 behind Jeffery. … Frank Gore is getting hyped up as an underrated option coming off his wheezing 2015, but I think he’s as likely to be done as be a bargain. (Love you, Ray.) … Stefon Diggs is definitely helping Davis stay #OnBrand. He’ll be an extremely interesting option. Wildly underdrafted or wildly overdrafted are both potential outcomes. … Melvin Gordon is a post-hype sleeper, but only because his rookie campaign was so awful. … To a lesser extent, the same is true of Ameer Abdullah. Neither of last year’s hyped home run threats even legged out many triples.
Round 7
73. Patrick Daugherty — Tavon Austin, WR38
74. Chet Gresham — Marvin Jones, WR39
75. Graham Barfield — Danny Woodhead, RB28
76. Rich Hill — DeSean Jackson, WR40
77. Evan Silva — Kamar Aiken, WR41
78. Rich Hribar — Willie Snead, WR42
79. Ryan McDowell — Michael Crabtree, WR43
80. Davis Mattek — Theo Riddick, RB29
81. Raymond Summerlin — Jonathan Stewart, RB30
82. Jeff Brubach — DeMarco Murray, RB31
83. Mike Gallagher — Tyler Eifert, TE6
84. Adam Levitan — Drew Brees, QB4
Notes: Tavon Austin has been a maligned fantasy option for as long as he’s been an NFLer, but he was quietly the WR29 in PPR leagues last season. … This is as cheap as Marvin Jones will get. The price might not just increase, but skyrocket. … Kamar Aiken isn’t sexy, but he’s also the only Raven guaranteed to finish with at least WR4 numbers. … Willie Snead may have already had his career campaign, but is a bargain as the WR42. … Michael Crabtree phoned it in following his extension. He can’t afford another letdown with Seth Roberts waiting in the wings. … Obviously, Theo Riddick’s bread and butter is PPR, but RB29 isn’t a bad price to pay in .5 PPR. … DeMarco Murray looked out of gas last season. Jonathan Stewart may look it this season. … With his injury status up in the air, Tyler Eifert’s price should be prone to wild fluctuations. … Drew Brees is the Tom Brady not even people talk about.
Round 8
85. Adam Levitan — Jeremy Hill, RB32
86. Mike Gallagher — Torrey Smith, WR44
87. Jeff Brubach — Ladarius Green, TE7
88. Raymond Summerlin — Sterling Shepard, WR45
89. Davis Mattek — Charles Sims, RB33
90. Ryan McDowell — Andrew Luck, QB5
91. Rich Hribar — Delanie Walker, TE8
92. Evan Silva — Antonio Gates, TE9
93. Rich Hill — Chris Ivory, RB34
94. Graham Barfield — C.J. Prosise, RB35
95. Chet Gresham — Zach Ertz, TE10
96. Patrick Daugherty — Gary Barnidge, TE11
Notes: Jeremy Hill has a low floor, but his ceiling is much higher than RB32. … Can Torrey Smith be Chip Kelly’s next DeSean Jackson? It’s certainly worth gambling on if you’re getting him as a last-gasp WR4. … Ladarius Green’s odds of breaking out are better than ever, but he’s not coming with a discount. … Sterling Shepard is another “no in between” player. He’ll either be a bargain or a massive overpay. … It’s hard to believe there will be four quarterbacks with more fantasy points than Andrew Luck. … Where do you draft Chris Ivory? Where do you draft T.J. Yeldon? There isn’t going to be a concrete answer. … C.J. Prosise is a great flier, but the sort of pick you might end up cutting loose by Week 2. … They let me get the best player in football at No. 96 overall?
Round 9
97. Patrick Daugherty — Tevin Coleman, RB36
98. Chet Gresham — Ben Roethlisberger, QB6
99. Graham Barfield — Dorial Green-Beckham, WR46
100. Rich Hill — Markus Wheaton, WR47
101. Evan Silva — Rashad Jennings, RB37
102. Rich Hribar — Derrick Henry, RB38
103. Ryan McDowell — Julius Thomas, TE12
104. Davis Mattek — Vincent Jackson, WR48
105. Raymond Summerlin — Justin Forsett, RB39
106. Jeff Brubach — Travis Benjamin, WR49
107. Mike Gallagher — Laquon Treadwell, WR50
108. Adam Levitan — Devin Funchess, WR51
Notes: Speaking of players who could be dropped by Week 2, Tevin Coleman offers massive handcuff upside, but it won’t matter if Devonta Freeman gets off to a hot start. … Dorial Green-Beckham came surprisingly cheap. His draft stock will be greatly affected by the in-camp #whispers. … Markus Wheaton could be an “I really didn’t want to draft him, but he somehow kept helping my team” All-Pro this season. … Justin Forsett has obvious downside, but could be a massive bargain if he keeps going in the RB35-40 range. Kenneth Dixon is tough on-paper competition, but is making the jump from Louisiana Tech to the big leagues. … Travis Benjamin will be a Malcom Floyd you actually sort of want to own.
Round 10
109. Adam Levitan — Phillip Dorsett, WR52
110. Mike Gallagher — T.J. Yeldon, RB40
111. Jeff Brubach — Mohamed Sanu, WR53
112. Raymond Summerlin — Isaiah Crowell, RB41
113. Davis Mattek — Blake Bortles, QB7
114. Ryan McDowell — Karlos Williams, RB42
115. Rich Hribar — Sammie Coates, WR54
116. Evan Silva — Bilal Powell, RB43
117. Rich Hill — Eric Ebron, TE13
118. Graham Barfield — Michael Thomas, WR55
119. Chet Gresham — Jerick McKinnon, RB44
120. Patrick Daugherty — Nelson Agholor, WR56
Notes: At the very least, Phillip Dorsett will be a best ball factor. … T.J. Yeldon is a fine investment in the 10th round, especially considering Chris Ivory’s injury history. … You won’t want to own Mohamed Sanu, but like Markus Wheaton, he might keep helping you. … Isaiah Crowell is one of the knuckleheads of the year … who could really help your team if he has a healthy and productive camp for running back whisperer Hue Jackson. … McDowell made Karlos Williams the RB42 before he got a four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Ay caramba. … Sammie Coates, the “This Time It Counts” Cordarrelle Patterson? … With Nelson Agholor’s legal situation resolved without charges, his price will probably rise a bit.
Round 11
121. Patrick Daugherty — Chris Hogan, WR57
122. Chet Gresham — Kenneth Dixon, RB45
123. Graham Barfield — LeGarrette Blount, RB46
124. Rich Hill — Arian Foster, RB47
125. Evan Silva — DeAndre Washington, RB48
126. Rich Hribar — Jordan Howard, WR58
127. Ryan McDowell — Josh Doctson, WR59
128. Davis Mattek — Mike Wallace, WR60
129. Raymond Summerlin — Steve Smith Sr., WR61
130. Jeff Brubach — Carson Palmer, QB8
131. Mike Gallagher — Shane Vereen, RB49
132. Adam Levitan — Dwayne Allen, TE14
Notes: I’m a bit surprised Chris Hogan is still coming so cheap. A camp’s worth of Patriots hype will change that. … Kenneth Dixon will be one of this year’s “it” rookie backs, but could just as easily end up third strong as starter. … DeAndre Washington is another “it” rookie, but unlike Dixon, is seemingly locked into an immediate role catching passes. … The more points you get per reception, the less valuable Jordan Howard will be. … I actually think Mike Wallace going ahead of Steve Smith Sr. is the right call. … If I’m drafting Carson Palmer, I’m pairing him with someone else. … If you can get Dwayne Allen after Julius Thomas in your drafts, you’ll probably have good drafts.
Round 12
133. Adam Levitan — Wendell Smallwood, RB50
134. Mike Gallagher — Martellus Bennett, TE15
135. Jeff Brubach — James Starks, RB51
136. Raymond Summerlin — Philip Rivers, QB9
137. Davis Mattek — Jimmy Graham, TE16
138. Ryan McDowell — Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE17
139. Rich Hribar — Kenyan Drake, RB52
140. Evan Silva — Tom Brady, QB10
141. Rich Hill — DeAngelo Williams, RB53
142. Graham Barfield — Buck Allen, RB54
143. Chet Gresham — Josh Ferguson, RB55
144. Patrick Daugherty — Eli Manning, QB11
Notes: Wendell Smallwood could end up a quick cut for Levitan. … Like Chris Hogan, I’m surprised Martellus Bennett is going so late. It’s the right price, however. … I’ll take Philip Rivers over Carson Palmer any day of the week. … Jimmy Graham’s health is a mess, but that kind of established upside is rare in Round 12. … If you listen closely to the wind, it says “Austin Seferian-Jenkins.” This tweet is open to interpretation. (He’s bad.) … Kenyan Drake coming mighty cheap for someone backing up a sophomore bell-cow who has proven exactly nothing as an NFLer. … Getting Brady as the QB10 then piggybacking him with Derek Carr? Silva winning, as usual. … Buck Allen is another “I didn’t want him, but he helped” candidate, especially in .5 PPR. … Josh Ferguson is a no name with questionable talent, but Indy’s backfield is absurdly thin.
Round 13
145. Patrick Daugherty — Spencer Ware, RB56
146. Chet Gresham — Bruce Ellington, WR62
147. Graham Barfield — Kirk Cousins, QB12
148. Rich Hill — Rishard Matthews, WR63
149. Evan Silva — Derek Carr, QB13
150. Rich Hribar — Jeff Janis, WR64
151. Ryan McDowell — Cardinals Defense, DEF1
152. Davis Mattek — Stephen Gostkowski, K1
153. Raymond Summerlin — Brandon LaFell, WR65
154. Jeff Brubach — Shaun Draughn, RB57
155. Mike Gallagher — Paul Perkins, RB58
156. Adam Levitan — Tyrod Taylor, QB14
Notes: Spencer Ware could be a poor man’s Chris Ivory for half the price. … Chet had to dig deep for Bruce Ellington, but it is that point of the draft. … Kirk Cousins in the 13th round is why it’s still ok to wait forever and ever on quarterbacks. … Rishard Matthews is a freebie who could have a much bigger role than people expect. … Jeff Janis is more Twitter legend than actual accomplished football player, but the offseason tweets have been quite promising. … Brandon LaFell > Tyler Boyd as a late-round flier. … Paul Perkins should make Andre Williams expendable.
Round 14
157. Adam Levitan — Will Fuller, WR66
158. Mike Gallagher — Devontae Booker, RB59
159. Jeff Brubach — Rueben Randle, WR67
160. Raymond Summerlin — Seahawks Defense, DEF2
161. Davis Mattek — Panthers Defense, DEF3
162. Ryan McDowell — Pierre Garcon, WR68
163. Rich Hribar — Zach Zenner, RB60
164. Evan Silva — Broncos Defense, DEF4
165. Rich Hill — Charcandrick West, RB61
166. Graham Barfield — Terrance Williams, WR69
167. Chet Gresham — Zach Miller, TE18
168. Patrick Daugherty — Breshad Perriman, WR70
Notes: Charcandrick West saved more than one team last season, but his game is too similar to Jamaal Charles’. He’ll probably be the odd man out of the Chiefs’ committee. … Zach Zenner was a rookie bust, but carries remain there for the taking. … Breshad Perriman going for literally half the price of Kevin White is justified, but their sophomore ceilings aren’t all that different. It’s the floor that does Perriman in.
Round 15
169. Patrick Daugherty — Patriots Defense, DEF5
170. Chet Gresham — Texans Defense, DEF6
171. Graham Barfield — Chiefs Defense, DEF7
172. Rich Hill — Bengals Defense, DEF8
173. Evan Silva — Roberto Aguayo, K2
174. Rich Hribar — Sebastian Janikowski, K3
175. Ryan McDowell — Chandler Catanzaro, K4
176. Davis Mattek — Moritz Boehringer, WR71
177. Raymond Summerlin — Steven Hauschka, K5
178. Jeff Brubach — Vikings Defense, DEF9
179. Mike Gallagher — Rams Defense, DEF10
180. Adam Levitan — Raiders Defense, DEF11
Notes: Stream defenses.
Round 16
181. Adam Levitan — Justin Tucker, K6
182. Mike Gallagher — Mason Crosby, K7
183. Jeff Brubach — Graham Gano, K8
184. Raymond Summerlin — Kendall Wright, WR72
185. Davis Mattek — Christine Michael, RB62
186. Ryan McDowell — Jameis Winston, QB15
187. Rich Hribar — Eagles Defense, DEF12
188. Evan Silva — Josh Gordon, WR73
189. Rich Hill — Chris Boswell, K9
190. Graham Barfield — Josh Brown, K10
191. Chet Gresham — Dan Bailey, K11
192. Patrick Daugherty — Matt Bryant, K12
Notes: Kickers be kickin’.
