1st Round Prediction Rounds 10 – 6

If you look into the magic ball you might be able to see my new team name 😉

WOW we finally made it. We are officially closing in on the greatest day of the year… draft day. What’s even crazier is that this is my first post EVER on mustbesunday.com (Trademarked? who knows anymore). It only feels right that I provide my fellow league members and more importantly OUR FANS a sneak peak at the first round draft choices. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the predictions.

PICK 10 (The Martians)

We all know Ryan LOVES Wide Receivers. The zero RB king will show us his love for Wide Receivers again by selecting Davante Adams back to back years.

PICK 9 (HOCKEYPRO 69)

Abie Abie Abie the man who 34 min ago, from the time I’m writing this, said I was going to come in last place. Will it be true, who knows, but I have the magic ball now so I can only predict the future. Similar to The Martians, Abie will run it back with King Henry. Abie will be crying with joy when the rushing GOAT falls to him.

PICK 8 (Bama Butts)

Is Max the hardest fantasy player to predict? Yes. No one ever knows which direction Max will go and neither do I. I believe Max plays it safe here and takes Dalvin Cook at 8. We all know how much Max loves Viking running backs (Reminder he stole Mattison from Vigs last year).

PICK 7 (Thomas 2.0)

I know I know I know this is the 3rd time I predicted a member of TheLeague to take a player they had last year. That’s just how the world works. Jack gets his guy. One of several players last year to lead Jack to the best record going into playoffs. Ja’Marr is a beast and Jack knows it. Good pick.

PICK 6 (Buffalo Bonez)

*Thomas sees this picture and immediately gets excited* That’s exactly what Thomas will be doing when the best player in football last year falls to him. It’s very easy to say Kupp falls earlier in the draft, but there are other names that people find more valuable. Kupp is going to be a beast and Thomas is going to hope Kupp repeats what he did last year.

That’s a wrap for picks 10-6.

In fantasy anything is possible. When your Google searching “Best Players in Fantasy 2022” that article on page 20 that gives a wild prediction is going to change your mind for the whole year. This can be completely wrong OR it can be 100% accurate. We’ll have that answer in 6 days. I’m excited for the draft and hav been prepping like a mad man. Hope you have been also. PICKS 5-1 coming soon. – Reigning Back to Back Champ of TheLeague

This Draft is Going to be Weird

It’s August 9th so naturally I’ve done 15,000 mock drafts. I am seeing the board extremely clearly. 20/20 vision. I know what kicker you’re going to take. I know why you like that certain player and I know why you shouldn’t. I know who is going to start the quarterback rush. I know who is going early on Amon-Ra St. Brown. I know who is going to be diagnosed with Will Fuller Syndrome first. To quote Lil Wayne, “I can see the end in the beginning.”

You ever see Men in Black 3? I think it’s good. I saw it once. I don’t remember the specifics but there’s some character who can see into the future. I don’t know if he’s an alien or a Man in Black or what’s good with him but he can see the future, so he knows the Mets are going to win it all in ’69. Or something like that. Again, I saw it once and I live such a rockstar lifestyle I can’t remember too good. Anyway, assuming my memory of that character is correct I’m like that guy.

A couple days ago I was walking to the subway on my commute home from work and popped into one of those $5.00 psychic reading shops. I met with one of the psychics and she called me a colleague. We also shared a laugh over everyone we foresaw drafting Courtland Sutton far too early.

I don’t want to spoil anything for everyone else, so I’ll just issue a warning so everyone knows going into it – this draft is going to be weird. It seems like the board hasn’t changed a tremendously large amount in the last few years. Especially between 2020 and 2021. All the usual running backs, Devante, Kelce, etc. Straight forward. Easy. No more. Folks, we are in a new era of fantasy football.

Just look at the rankings! I hope you folks have been doing your homework. Have you seen all these wide receivers in the top 15? Cam Akers at 22? Nick Chubb at 33?!? It’s a whole new world!

Now, I’m pretty confident most of the boys are all in on running backs in the first round. 3-4 are fully committed to running backs in the second round two. There is going to be some high-quality receivers hanging around in round three.

There are huge question marks surrounding players ranked between 25-50. Barkley. Zeke. Dobbins. Terry. Gibson. Hollywood. DK. Truly, I think every single pick in rounds 3-5 are going to elicit “wooooaaaahhhhhh” and half the people will mean it was a good pick and half will mean it in a negative way. This is truly bonkers. I don’t think you realize how crazy this is going to be. The boys are finna have the zoomies. Max is going to take Mike Williams in the fourth round and I’m going to start floating. Ryan is going to draft JuJu in the fifth round and we are all going to start shuffling like that Jimmy Neutron episode when they can’t stop dancing. Is that a fake memory? Might be. Abie is going to take Brandin Cooks and Andrew is going to laugh at him but panic on the inside because he lowkey wanted Cooks for a good value. It’s going to be mayhem.

We are 18 days away. Let’s get weird.
