*Draft Analysis - Positional Rankings

[Modern_Duke]

Quarterback
1. Jay Cue (224 TPE -- Quick Stats: 2400 Yards, 22 Pass TD)
2. Johnson Harding (160 TPE -- Quick Stats: 52.5% Completion Pct., 60.5 QB Rating)
3. Philip Helmet (65 TPE -- Quick Stats: 2240 Passing Yards, 63.1 QB Rating)
Cue looks like a star in the making and based on activity alone would be a top pick, but could slip due to lack of positional need. Johnson Harding came on late but strong, so his draft stock could be higher than what his resume alone shows.

Running Back
1. Marcella Toriki (209 TPE -- Quick Stats: 1785 Yards, 9 TD)
2. Ruff Ruff (197 TPE -- Quick Stats: 5.2 Yards Per Carry, 14 TD)
3. Mathias Hanyadi (162 TPE -- Quick Stats: 1430 Yards, 5.2 Yards Per Carry)
Toriki will surely be the first running back off the board, but the gap between her and Ruff Ruff could be less than most people assume. Hanyadi is a great locker room presence and could be a nice sleeper pick but is just behind Toriki and Ruff in TPE.

Wide Receiver
1. Tyrone Biggums (220 TPE -- Quick Stats: 774 Yards, 6 TD)
2. Jake Watson (195 TPE -- Quick Stats: 6 TD, 10.2 Yards Per Receptions)
3. Bender B. Rodriguez (210 TPE -- Quick Stats: 60 Receptions, 912 Yards)
This is a solid group at the top. Biggums is a complete package in terms of talent and activity. Rodriguez is right behind Biggums in terms of TPE, but Watson is more known in league circles so ranks just ahead of him . All three should go relatively early. Asher Quinn is another late joiner who could be potential late round sleeper.

Tight End
1. Steco Ocewilder (192 TPE -- Quick Stats: 48 Receptions, 534 Yards)
2. Earl Sauce (133 TPE -- Quick Stats: 22 Recptions, 2 TD)
3. Kreboktaflons Kwemen (89 TPE -- Quick Stats: 39 Receptions, 307 Yards)
Ocewilder is the clear number one and showed versatility by playing mainly in the slot. Sauce is also a good prospect but a bit behind in terms of TPE. There is a drop off after Sauce, but Kwemen has been sporadically active.

Offensive Line
1. Samuel Bakhtiari (138 TPE -- Quick Stats: 2 Sacks Allowed)
2. Givussafare Rubbe (152 TPE -- Quick Stats: 47 Pancakes)
3. Footballer Blockerman (134 TPE -- Quick Stats: 43 Pancakes)
Could somebody please give these guys a fair rub for once? Bakhtiari is quite active and grabs the top ranking.

Defensive End
1. Zach Hall (181 TPE -- Quick Stats: N/A)
2. Fabricio Baldari (154 TPE -- Quick Stats: 15 TFL, 4 Sacks)
3. Mike Franchet (109 TPE -- Quick Stats: 17 TFL, 6 Sacks)
Hall made the savvy move to improve his draft stock by moving from tight end to defensive end. Due to positional needs and activity, Hall is looking like a possibility to go early in the first round. Baldari and Franchet are fantastic locker room guys and should still go pretty early despite lower TPE totals.

Defensive Tackle
1. Bjorn Ironside (221 TPE -- Quick Stats: 45 Tackles, 5 Sacks)
2. Trae Bacon (159 TPE -- Quick Stats: 7 Sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles)
3. John-Caleb Bradberton (119 TPE -- Quick Stats: 14 Tackles)
It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that Ironside will be picked first overall. Bacon has been limited activity-wise and Bradberton is far behind in TPE. However, defensive line is an area of need for a good amount of teams, so these guys could go higher than you might expect.

Linebacker
1. Maurice Virtanen (226 TPE -- Quick Stats: 157 Tackles, 2 Forced Fumbles)
2. Net Gaines (203 TPE -- Quick Stats: 5 Sacks, 9 Passes Defended)
3. Thudd Kassel (200 TPE -- Quick Stats: 126 Tackles, 2 Sacks)
Honestly, who knows? These guys are all stars and you could put them in any order you choose. Linebacker doesn't appear to be a huge area of need, but the talent here is undeniable so all three of these guys are likely first round picks.

Cornerback
1. Louisiana Purchase (201 TPE -- Quick Stats: 7 Interceptions, 15 Passes Defended)
2. Korrin Abernathy (185 TPE -- Quick Stats: 103 Tackles, 3 TFL)
3. Xavien Adams (162 TPE -- Quick Stats: 12 Passes Defended, 1 Interception)
Purchase is a superstar, but don't be surprised if Abernathy gets picked before him. Safety may be a bigger area of concern for teams picking in the first round than cornerback, so if Abernathy is willing to fill in there like he did for Kansas City, he could go pretty early. Also, there is a pretty deep pool of cornerback talent. Players like Stuart Little IV, Juan Marston, and David Rector all seem like good early-to-mid round prospects.

Safety
1. Pete Parker (220 TPE -- Quick Stats: 98 Tackles, 3 Special Teams TD)
2. Joseph Wozniak (176 TPE -- Quick Stats: 64 Tackles, 3 Sacks)
3. Mike Hockhertz (160 TPE -- Quick Stats: 3 Interceptions, 4 Sacks)
Parker is a high level earner at a position of need, so he should go very early. The second tier of Wozniak and Hockhertz will likely be early round picks too, and some are even mock drafting Wozniak as a late first rounder.

Kicker/Punter
1. Baxter Frost (124 TPE -- Quick Stats: 80% Field Goal Pct., Long of 56 Yards)
2. Diego Espinosa (98 TPE -- Quick Stats: 46/48 Extra Points, 43.3 Yards Per Punt)
3. Charlie Day (84 TPE -- Quick Stats: 42.9 Yards Per Punt, 13 Punts Inside 20)
Frost has an infamous leg and is very active, making him the clear number one here. Espinosa has shown some flashes of activity lately. He and Day have decent enough TPE numbers.

Fair rubs.

Nice.

@Modern_Duke good to see that while those at the top are actively trying to wipe us out (minus a few brave and kind souls) there is still a good amount of people who care enough about us to offer their own rubs in the place of the fair ones want from HO.

Good shit

“Fair rubs.”

Disgusting.
