Detailed Analysis

Coach Andrew had an impressive showing in the recent 2009 Pittsburgh Franchise Football League
PFFL West draft. Their MNE franchise came away feeling exuberant about their top grade in the league based on analysis by MyFantasyLeague.com.

MNE has the honor of making the best pick of the entire draft, selecting Drew Brees in round 2 with the 20th pick of the draft, 15 spots after the 5th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "He's a physical specimen," MNE coach Andrew said.

MNE made their worst pick of the draft in round 7, selecting Derrick Mason with the 69th pick of the draft, as compared to the 107th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "I know some are thinking that he will be this year's Ryan Leaf," MNE coach Andrew said.

MNE nabbed Drew Brees in the 2nd round, which reflects the fact that he was the number one ranked quarterback for the 2008 season, based on this league's custom scoring rules.

Time will tell if coach Andrew can take their top-ranked draft all the way to the league championship.

B&B

Coach Billy had a rotten draft in the recent 2009 Pittsburgh Franchise Football League
PFFL West draft. Their B&B franchise came away with the number 8 ranked draft (out of 11) in the league based on analysis by MyFantasyLeague.com.

B&B made their best pick of the draft in round 2, selecting Tom Brady with the 17th pick of the draft, as compared to the 9th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "He has unlimited potential," B&B coach Billy said.

B&B has the dubious distinction of making the worst pick of the entire draft, selecting Thomas Jones in round 3 with the 28th pick of the draft, long before the 59th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "He's a project," B&B coach Billy said.

Starting in week 4, B&B won't be able to submit a full lineup, due to having 2 defensive teams on bye.

B&B nabbed the Philadelphia Eagles Defensive Team in the 10th round, which reflects the fact that he was the number one ranked defensive team for the 2008 season, based on this league's custom scoring rules.

With a little bit of work on the waiver wire this season, or a few strategic trades, coach Billy should be able to turn their 8th ranked draft effort into a championship fantasy team this year.

Rounder 17

Coach Jack had a poor draft in the recent 2009 Pittsburgh Franchise Football League
PFFL West draft. Their Rounder 17 franchise came away feeling dejected about their bottom grade in the league based on analysis by MyFantasyLeague.com.

Rounder 17 made their best pick of the draft in round 4, selecting Peyton Manning with the 36th pick of the draft, as compared to the 14th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "He's a blue-chip prospect," Rounder 17 coach Jack said.

Rounder 17 made their worst pick of the draft in round 8, selecting Earl Bennett with the 80th pick of the draft, as compared to the 198th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "I know some are thinking that he will be this year's Ryan Leaf," Rounder 17 coach Jack said.

Rounder 17 nabbed Stephen Gostkowski in the 9th round, which reflects the fact that he was the number one ranked place kicker for the 2008 season, based on this league's custom scoring rules.

After such a pathetic draft grade, coach Jack is motivated to prove to the league that their picks will overachieve and bring home the trophy.
