So, based upon the Yahoo! Player Ranks as of the last day of the regular season, I've decided to judge each and every one of our draft day performances. Not sure I can thoroughly prove anything except that I have too much free time on my hands.
First, here's our 11th team called "The Land of Misfit Toys"or the best undrafted line up:
Brett Fav-re, Ricky Williams, Fred Jackson, Sidney Rice, Steve Smith (NYG), Robert Meachum, Vernon Davis, Kris Brown, and the New Orleans defense...they would've been on the play off bubble with 1312 regular season points.
The lack of waiver wire moves give it away... why would the Smallville Crows (The Oracle best draft award) tamper with the perfect draft? And with 11/12 of the draft picks keeper-eligible, the Crows won't need ice breakers at next year's draft. The Road House Coolers had a stable of stars but you don't win without defense and a defense it did not draft.
Mustprotecthishouse3 (Double Down best position picker award) made the best position picks by selecting the best quarterback (Aaron Rodgers), best receiver (Andre Johnson), and best kicker (David Akers) through the regular season.
In Yo Grill (Mr. Irrelevant best last round pick award) fought the burden of Brian Westbrook by selecting Hakeem Nicks in the last round. On a related note, SpoonerExpresRedux (Million to One Man best late round pick award) will be enjoying the services of Miles Austin for years to come. Were I not a better man, EH All Stars would win the most unfounded snarky comment award for draft day criticism of Miles....but EH All Stars (I Win at Chicken award for ballsiest pick that pans out) when he selected Brandon Marshall, the man staring down an indefinite suspension on draft day.
Sam Hamwich (Beast of Burden award for most annoying player you can't drop award) had the misfortune to deal with Matt Forte all season. Really would've been nice to drop his penchant for putting up 4's against any team better than the Rams but he'll be a value next year in the fifth round. And the Road House Coolers (401K Maximum Contribution award for best keeper) will be enjoying the services of Ray Rice in the 5th round, the best keeper. Oh and Chris Johnson in the 3rd and Vincient Jackson in the 6th and LeSean McCoy in the 8th and maybe even Pierre Thomas in the 2nd.
Maybe The G.O.A.T.s (Clean Plate Club award for fewest keepers) will keep Darren Sproles in the 4th next year but The Corn Rocket (Come On Eileen award for worst overall draft pick) will not keep Marshaun Lynch, let alone play the 3rd round pick.
The last award goes to ViableDraftStrategy (Admir0l's Cup award to honor the commish) served the league well...we should all thank him for tracking our every roster move throughout the season. And possibly buy the man a jersey since he's in the championship barring Jason Campbell's career game.

Actually, I think we made way more fun of the Jared Cook pick than the Miles Austin pick; but we did make fun of the Austin pick as well.
Not sure we made fun of it more so much as the Rear spent more time defending it. I remember Miles Austin scoring a ~70 yard TD draft night so it didn't seem as silly to me. Silly, but not as silly.
It was Jared Cook and Mewelde we were shitting on
Austin we were making fun of because his name was backwards in the draft kit as Austin Miles which is normally not a good omen.
