Draft Profile Capsules: Picks 9-12

Picks 9-12 now.

#9 Eugene (Sprigville_Warrior)
No Previous Draft History

The new guys pick back to back in our draft would should be pretty interesting. We'll see what Eugene does with a late 1st round pick.

#10 Ryan (Hoosier Daddy)
Previous Draft Spots- 5 in 2010
                                    7 in 2011
                                   10 in 2012

# of Drafted Players who Stayed on Ryan's Team
5 in 2010 (out of 15)
6 in 2011 (out of 15)
5 in 2012 (out of 15)

Previous 1st Round Picks
2010-Michael Turner
2011-Rashard Mendenhall
2012-Chris Johnson

Playoff Appearances-2 (3rd place finish in 2011, 3rd place finish in 2012)

It's kinda crazy that Ryan basically whiffed on his first 5 picks (actually 8 of his first 10) and STILL finished 3rd. He did strike Gold with Peyton Manning in the 7th round and Witten in the 11th, but man it was draft full of disappointments. He did make a trade for Reggie Wayne, and picked Denario Alexander off waivers, but this team was mainly fueled by Peyton Manning. Ryan picks 10 again and his 1st rounds have been very sketchy. He'll need to hit a home run with his 1st round to finally get over that 3rd place hump.

#11 Mayra (Bigger Balls)
Previous Draft Spots- 5 in 2012

# of Drafted Players who Stayed with team
10 in 2012 (out of 15)

# of Playoff Appearances-0

Mayra actually had a very stable team keeping 10 out of 15 original draft picks and only making one trade, trading Ryan for Michael Turner.  She excellent value in Frank Gore in the 5th round, but Ryan Mathews in the 2nd was  HUGE disappointment. In her sophomore season, she drafted at the tail end this time so we'll see how she adjusts in this situation.

#12 Albert (Channel 4 News Team)
Previous Draft Spots- 4 in 2010
                                    5 in 2011
                                    7 in 2012

5 in 2012 (out of 15)

Previous 1st round picks
2010-Ray Rice
2011-Arian Foster
2012-Tom Brady

# of Playoff Appearances-3 (2010, 2011 Wane McGarity Bowl Champion, 2012 runner up)

If there's anyone I'm scared of drafting at this position it's Albert. It WILL WORK for him. Last year I showed how stupid I was by calling Albert's draft the worst of the league. DEAD WRONG. He hit big time on 6 of the first 7. If not for injuries to Bowe and McGahee, Albert might have 3-peated. He ended up having to spot start the RB2 towards the end, but having a team of Brady, Graham, Marshall, Demaryius, and Trent Richardson was lethal. I have no doubt, he'll be successful at this spot.

We are 9 days away from the draft!!! Can't believe it's almost here!
