Porter’s Not-As-Completely-Irrelevant-As-You-Thought Draft Analysis
We learned last year, these rankings aren’t as pointless as we originally thought.
So here we are again. Hang on with bated breath, it’s the King of Wands, Sir Andrew Porter with his 2018 season predictions.

It’s extremely difficult to win consistently without having any stars. If this were a snake draft, Jason would have essentially traded his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks for extra mid-round selections.
Russell Wilson and Greg Olsen give him some reliability at the “onesie” positions, but without a WR1 or a RB1, his 120 point weeks will be few and far between.
Draft grade: C-
Where’s the upside? Jason’s upside is in his depth; he’s going to have to do some major GM work

I don’t hate Shmike’s team, I just think not having a first-round player is ultimately going to limit his big weeks and upside.
I like Jordan Howard, but $42 is an overpay. Like Jason, LaRose is solid throughout and has depth, but lack of star power will hurt.
Draft grade: C
Where’s the upside? There’s a little bit in Rashaad Penny, but Chris Carson will have something to say about that. Jimmy Graham could have a big TD year.
