August 27, 2012 marked the first annual Gym Class All Stars fantasy football draft. As most of the members piled into the draft 15 minutes before the first pick, the reactions were hostile. "WHO RIGGED THE DRAFT ORDER?!" Clearly preseason favorites Mok and Alby were already calling foul play as they saw they had the 10th and 12th pick respectively. Of course you couldn't blame the commissioner, since I had my least favorite position of 8th, which in my mind is where the draft begins to get extremely hazy. So that's when the suspects became more clear: the two other favorites from UPenn must have called in favors from their Ivy League connections to hack the system to get the first and second pick of the draft. Well, I guess we will never know the truth, but the draft must go on.
So pick 1 and 2 go according to the book, but we get our first surprise at pick three, when our rookie Jen decides to go with Mr. Tom Brady. You can't deny his ability to score fantasy points, but it's hard to justify it with a bona fide stud like McCoy still on the board. McCoy falls into Peter's lap, who isn't even present at this point. Rarely are you rewarded for auto drafting, but in this case he is. Chow is upset for drafting Calvin Johnson 6th, and before the round is over, he has set up a trade with myself for Chris Johnson. Madden Curse? This trade seems too good to be true when I look at my draft board. Alby shakes things up by taking a TE in the first round, while Steven completes the first round by taking the 4th quarterback of the draft. From the way things are playing out, this isn't going to be your dad's draft.
First mistake pick of the draft for me as I take MJD with my second pick of the draft. This guy might not even dress for game one because of a holdout... but then again, if he does play, it could be great value. Zhan creates tons of positive buzz with his Brandon Marshall pick, especially from Mok. Don't get me wrong, Marshall is going to be great in his reunion with Cutler, but take a close look and see that Marshall is the 3rd WR taken in this draft. There is still a lot of risk even if there is a lot of upside. Phil and JLau walk away with two strong receivers at the end of the 2nd round while others reach on potential with picks of Green and Cruz before the proven commodity of Roddy White.
JLau kicks it off by making a homer pick of Wes Welker, and Phil starts to regret his selection of Cam Newton only seconds after making the pick. Health questions about Mathews drop him to the 3rd round. At this point RB started to get thin -- Mok picks up Fred Jackson, who in my mind is the last sure thing at running back. Doug Martin could be very good now that he's all but assured the starting job in Tampa.
Another round, another holdout guy. Luckily for me, Wallace reported to camp yesterday. Chow is looking for a positive impact from Dez Bryant's new curfew, and Peter can't understand why Steve Smith is still on the board (still thinking this is 2006). Phil reaches for Kevin Smith -- it is clear that there isn't much left in the world of running backs. JLau's faith in Alex Smith is unusual especially with Finley, Hernandez, and Gates all still on the board for TEs.
Willis McGahee doesn't get the respect he deserves for the amount of yards he amassed playing with Tebow and Co. last year. With Peyton opening up the offense, we could see a solid year for McGahee. Norman takes Vick, which in recent history has proven to be a very high risk. Quite interesting that 3 quarterbacks were taken this round but Eli Manning is still on the board. He's not top 5 talent, but he belongs with this group.
This is when the draft gets interesting! The two Broncos receivers go along with 5 other wideouts. Rivers is an excellent pick as the 10th QB off the board and is primed for a bounce-back season. A defense in the 6th round? That's a bold strategy -- let's see how that works out.
Phil reaches for Benson in the 7th round, trying to make up for his Kevin Smith reach. Santonio Holmes looks like he'd rather watch paint dry than play football this season with the San-bow monster at the helm. A lot of TEs go in this round, including rookie Fleener, who already has good rapport with fellow Stanford teammate Luck. Kenny Britt has top 10 WR talent, and as the 36th WR off the board, Alby could be laughing all the way to the playoffs.
Both Carolina RBs ending up on the same team seems like a bad hedge bet. Tons of running backs are taken in this round, and with that comes many question marks. Phil feels good about his David Wilson pick, and as a Giant fan, he knows better than most that Bradshaw can't handle all the carries on his own. The real question is, who is Alshon Jeffery?
Late pick-up of Meachem could prove to have a huge payoff as Rivers is looking for a new number one. The Chargers never seem to win the big game, but lucky for fantasy owners, our Super Bowl happens in the regular season where the Chargers are king. Randy Moss' return could be boom or bust, but once again Peter is living the glory days of 2006, because I am not sure Moss has too much left in the tank. As a Packer fan I am going to hate on the Cobb pick, this guy is 4th at best on the depth chart, and with no return yards in this league getting production from Cobb will be hard to come by.
This is pretty unreal. Eli falls and becomes the 12th quarterback taken. Even when he threw 25 INTs he doesn't deserve to be taken so low. And to see the rookie Luck who is starting for a team with little to no weapons being taken right before him is outrageous. Sorry Steven for all the hate; maybe you will prove me wrong. Also Steven didn't need Eli since he has Stafford, but this also isn't a keeper league, so I'm still puzzled by the Luck pick. Chow is definitely looking for some more Peyton-to-Tamme magic from two years ago, which makes me wonder whatever happened to Dallas Clark.
Not seeing much here besides sleepers, kickers, and defenses. New to see someone still wants Plaxico even though no NFL team seems to want him. Also Jen takes the third running back from Carolina; for both her and myself, I hope Carolina gets over 500 yards a game in rushing. Mok stashes Mendenhall for (hopefully) a second half return, as Jlau hopes injuries in San Diego means Royal gets some targets like he had his rookie season.
Phil Vuong:
Reach and Regret - Kevin Smith. I didn't like any other rbs there, but I should have taken a WR or TE instead. Fortunate to get Benson and Wilson later on so I feel okay about it, but it was a terrible lapse in judgment. Frank Gore and Turner where they went since they are both aging RBs.
Best Draft Steal: Eli, for sure. A lot of Eli hate in this league, but amazing value.
Best Draft: Mok had the best draft, hands down.

Also Jen takes the third running back from Carolina; for both her and myself, I hope Carolina gets over 500 yards a game in rushing. Mok stashes Mendenhall for (hopefully) a second half return, as Jlau hopes injuries in San Diego means Royal gets some targets like he had his rookie season.
My final thoughts on the draft, either Jen made many rookie mistakes or she is just that much smarter than the rest of us. Most interesting draft was Alby, who made many risky picks with taking a TE in the first round and characters like Hillis and Best. Lastly Alby capped it off by taking a kicker on an offense relying on a rookie QB and a Defense that ranked last a year ago. I am also surprised Norman took 2 defenses, and one of them being New England who couldn't stop a nose bleed.
Reactions from around the GCAS League:
Reach and Regret - Kevin Smith. I didn't like any other rbs there, but I should have taken a WR or TE instead. Fortunate to get Benson and Wilson later on so I feel okay about it, but it was a terrible lapse in judgment. Frank Gore and Turner where they went since they are both aging RBs.
Best Draft Steal: Eli, for sure. A lot of Eli hate in this league, but amazing value.
Best Draft: Mok had the best draft, hands down.
- Excited about David Wilson, Bradshaw won't make it through the season. I am also intrigued by Lloyd and how he performs with Brady and reuniting with McDaniels.
- Kenny Britt could turn out to be the biggest steal in any draft, Top 10 talent.
- Mike Williams was overrated last year but very underrated this year. Could do a lot better with VJax in the mix.
Andrew Leu:
- Surprised to see Brady go before Rodgers, but no complaints since i got him
- Sometimes you just got to go with a value pick when the guy you want gets picked up right before your turn (i.e. Victor Cruz after Adrian Peterson)
- Surprised Flying Turtle drafted 6 RBs (esp 2 sets on the same team)
- No love for Tebow?! I bet he scores more TDs than Shonn Greene
Biggest Steal: Eli Manning in 10th round
Worst draft (no hard feelings tho): Tsoufresh & Tsouclean - Lowest projected Week 1 score is typically a good indication
Best draft: Mok Draft - solid team including his bench. Too bad there's not a cash prize.
