Draft grades · by Theo Nakamura

Graded by the person who finished last.

By tradition the host grades the draft. Theo gave himself an A. Nobody else did.

A · LATE-ROUND QBS

The host’s own grade.

“Waited on quarterback, as the name requires. Traded for one anyway in week 2. Growth.”

A− · THE TAXI SQUAD

Rookies everywhere.

Lena took three rookies in the first six rounds. Two of them started in week 1.

B+ · COMMISSIONER’S PETS

Suspiciously good.

Grant’s picks all fell perfectly. He also set the draft clock. No further comment.

B · FOURTH & FOREVER

The champion’s haul.

Priya drafted like someone who plans to win the waiver wire anyway. She will.

C+ · KICKOFF COUPE

Two kickers.

Sam drafted a kicker in round 13 and another in round 15. He has offered one of them in three trades.

C− · TUESDAY WAIVERS

Sending a message.

Dana took a kicker in round 12 ‘to send a message’. The message has not been decoded.

Keeper rules

One keeper each, and what it costs.

COST

The round you drafted him, minus one.

A 5th-round pick costs you your 4th-round pick this year.

PICKUPS

Free agents cost a 10th.

Anyone you claimed off waivers last season costs a 10th-round pick.

LIMITS

No first-rounders.

Players drafted in round 1 can’t be kept. Submit by August 20 or keep nobody.

Ridgeline League

A private league. Bragging rights, a brass trophy and a Wooden Spoon. Nothing else is at stake.
