So I drafted in the CSR 13 league tonight with my Cat scratch Radio contributor Shankdiddy (The Blasters) who picked 1st. Shankdiddy said he prepared like crazt for draft season and had some tricks up his sleeve. The results are below and honestly....I think he was over thinking it. I picked 3rd (Hog Mollies) so take a look and then make a selection in the fanpoll on which of us had the better draft.
Of course I can't resist the chance to talk some smack on some of these picks. It's just too easy ;) Besides, Yahoo! did the heavy lifting for me by grading the drafts and of course I'm at the top:

So here is the entire draft by team in the order of the 1st round so you can make your own assessment and then take the poll at the end. Oh and there were 10 other teams in the draft but I'll let them talk their smack in the comment thread. They all bow to awesomeness though. Be sure to check the draft grade summary for both of our teams
THE BLASTERS
1.(1)Adrian Peterson(Min - RB)
2.(24)Brandon Marshall(Chi - WR)
3.(25)Jimmy Graham(NO - TE)
4.(48)Eddie Lacy(GB - RB) Streeeeetch pick!
5.(49)Robert Griffin III(Was - QB) Will the glass knee hold up?
6.(72)T.Y. Hilton(Ind - WR) Super Streeeetch pick!
7.(73)Giovani Bernard(Cin - RB)
8.(96)Kenbrell Thompkins(NE - WR) Who the hell is this? He had one good preseason game. Patriots version of Taye Biddle!
9.(97)Shane Vereen(NE - RB)
10.(120)St. Louis(StL - DEF)
11.(121)Terrelle Pryor(Oak - QB) Better hope you don't have to play him. It's a dumpster fire from here down.
12.(144)Robert Woods(Buf - WR)
13.(145)Jon Baldwin(SF - WR)
14.(168)Kai Forbath(Was - K)
15.(169)Heath Miller(Pit - TE)
Draft Grade: B
Coinciding with a juicy draft position (first overall), THE BLASTERS had an outstanding performance. They're projected to finish second in CSR 13 League with a record of 9-4-0 (1,284 points). THE BLASTERS opted for balance early, selecting QB Robert Griffin III (49th overall), RB Adrian Peterson (1st), WR Brandon Marshall (24th), and TE Jimmy Graham (25th) within the first five rounds. They have the highest-scoring combo of TEs in the league, as they added Graham and Heath Miller.
It also says "Although They Stretched a Bit for Some Early Picks, THE BLASTERS Threatens as a Legitimate Title Contender" Stretched? He stretched like Captain Fantastic! they must have graded Shank on the curve!

Hog Mollies
1.(3)Arian Foster(Hou - RB) My biggest worry
2.(22)Drew Brees(NO - QB)
3.(27)Frank Gore(SF - RB)
4.(46)Torrey Smith(Bal - WR)
5.(51)Jordy Nelson(GB - WR)
6.(70)Greg Jennings(Min - WR)
7.(75)Tavon Austin(StL - WR)
8.(94)Daryl Richardson(StL - RB)
9.(99)Jared Cook(StL - TE)
10.(118)Cincinnati(Cin - DEF)
11.(123)Joe Flacco(Bal - QB)
12.(142)Fred Jackson(Buf - RB)
13.(147)Andre Roberts(Ari - WR)
14.(166)Sebastian Janikowski(Oak - K)
15.(171)Arizona(Ari - DEF)
In summary I think the Tavon austin pick was a little early and Fred Jackson is just a shot in the dark based on Spiller missing time (not that he's injured). Obviously the biggest cocnern is Arian Foster's workload and whether Ben Tate will cut into it too much. Overall though Yahho! gave me an A-:, so suck it!
Draft Grade: A-
Coinciding with a juicy draft position (third overall), Hog Mollies had an outstanding performance. They're projected to finish third in CSR 13 League with a record of 8-5-0 (1,328 points). Hog Mollies loaded up on pass-catching weapons early on, using four of their first seven selections to acquire WRs Torrey Smith (fourth round), Jordy Nelson (fifth round), Greg Jennings (sixth round), and Tavon Austin (seventh round). They have the best threesome of RBs in the league, as they scooped up Arian Foster, Frank Gore, and Daryl Richardson to lead the way.
