2015 Draft Recap

Our long wait is over and the 2015 Porkchop Ownerhsip Group season officially kicked off with the draft. 5 members of the PCOG (with associated support personnel, thanks to Lyndsey, Becca, Troy, and my parents for hosting/feeding/pouring shots down our collective gullets) met in the foothills of NC to test the limits of the Hutton Household's WiFi connections.

Sportsmanship at it's finest



The PCOG ushered in three new members this year, and they conducted themselves admirably. Josh and Ben were not rated very well by ESPN's automated draft rankings, but you two should'nt feel too bad about it: Jonny MoCo, carrying on the proud tradition of AutoDraft Fairy, received an A+ grade. We all know just how accurate those grades can be. Kia, taking Troy's place this year, wowed all of us at the party with her diligent homework and dedication to the process. She will certainly make a good addition to the PCOG this year, all with Troy's love and support.

Now, Draft Highlight Recap action!




RD 1: Jordan takes Eddie Lacy just to screw with Aaron at number 1 overall. Jared continues his record of selecting a bust in the first round by timing out and AutoDrafting Le'Veon Bell at number two. Well, at least a bust for the first two weeks as he is currently suspended for going to the cloud and driving at the same time.



Your humble Comissioner took the best player in FF, Adrian Peterson at 4. Shirtless Josh will learn to hate Andy Reid for not handing the ball to his selection, Jamaal Charles, at number 5. Ben thinks we are all dumb for not taking the number one scoring player earlier as he selects Andrew "King of Garbage Time" Luck at six. AutoDraft Fairy goes into the Matrix and computes that Antonio Brown is the optimal selection at number seven, Kia is convinced that Demaryius Thomas will catch plenty of balls from PFM's popgun of an arm, Seth hopes that when Demarco Murray signed with Philly he brought Dallas' O-Line with him at 9, Bryan knows that despite having the most running back touches in the last three years number ten overall selection Matt Forte still has some tread left on those tires, and Tyler hopes that Rex Ryan's tough defense will make Shady McCoy better at eleven. Finally, Aaron begins his Championship Defense with the wide receiver who beat his Packers in the 2014 NFL playoffs: Dez Bryant.

RD. 2-4:
Aaron hopes Cobb's MRI comes back negative, Tyler has not watched how terrible ODB has been in the preseason, Ben thinks it is not a reach, just a stretch, to take Alfred Morris in the second round, I lock up the 2015 Chopper with the second of two top five running backs in Jeremy Hill, then follow up that selection by losing network connection and AutoDrafting a wide receiver who has been in a walking boot for the last month, Bryan takes a WR handcuff in the third round, Aaron will be conflicted at the Packer's game by selecting back to back Panthers in RD 2-3, Graham hopes that Andre Johnson will continue his hall of fame career with a real quarterback throwing him the ball now, and Jordan believes that Breesus, King of the Drews, will rise from the dead this year.




RD 5-8



Jordan predictably reaches for a Georgia product in Todd Gurley, Jared continues to troll Bryan by selecting Chargers, I reach for a wounded Arian Foster, Bryan hopes Davante Adams is as good as Jordy, Tyler picks 1/3 of the RB monster from NY in Rashad Jennings, Seth's backup plans are foiled as Jared selects his RB handcuff, a D/ST is predictably chosen waaaaay too early by Seth, Aaron likes deflated footballs, and a freaking kicker is selected in the ninth round by one of the FNGs.

RD. 9-12



RD. 13-16



Now that the Draft is complete, the next step is sacrificing to the Fantasy Gods that your new, shiny players do not get injured in the meaningless last week of the preseason.




That leaves the Week 1 Matchups! El Rey de los Perdidos (Aaron) vs Pocket Dogs (Andy), Football Bats (Seth) vs Vinegar Strokes (Jordan), Left Turns for 4 hours (Jonny) vs Tauben Time (Shirtless Josh), Thick Bitch (Bryan) vs Hell's Bell's (Jared), Fresh Meat (Ben) vs Mr. Kia (Kia/Troy), and Super Snoic Dudes (Tyler) vs The NC Graham Hams (Grahamhamham). I dont know about you guys but I am stoked for the year. Good luck to everyone but Aaron, and remember that Winter is Coming.
