1 M.O.A.D. POWER RANKINGS

2 Two seasons of the greatest Dynasty Fantasy Football League are in the books. We had an insane and poetic ending to the 2017 M.O.A.D. Championship where My Dick Ertz defeated American Thunder on the final drive by a reception by none other than Zach Ertz. Below is a statistical review of the first 2 seasons. Highest Overall Points: 3992 My Dick Ertz Lowest Overall Points: 3336 HJD Best Overall Record: 21-6 American Thunder Worst Overall Record: 9-17 tied sayhi2yamoms4me ; The Big Red Machine ; Nata Thing U Can Do Best Playoff record: 4-1 Tied American Thunder ; My Dick Ertz Highest Overall Points Scored Against: 3891 Jackin Jackals Lowest Overall Points Scored Against: 3369 American Thunder

3 The following slides will be my power rankings, 12 th to 1 st, heading into the 3 rd M.O.A.D. season. The criteria I took into consideration are below. I also picked each owner s best / worst 2016 start-up draft pick, 2017 rookie/fa draft pick and best trade now that we are 2 years in. Total Overall Points Total Overall Record Playoff Appearances Playoff Record Current Roster General Manager Moves i.e. Trades/Draft Picks

4 OWNER: GAMAL CASTILLO

5 (12) SAYHI2YAMOMS4ME Congrats sayhi2yamoms4me for being the worst organization in MOAD. After back to back losing seasons and a few trades gone horribly wrong, sayhi2yamoms4me lands at the number 12 spot. Aside from Aaron Rodgers and Travis Kelce there is nobody to be excited about on this roster. With another top 3 pick in this year s draft, Castillo really needs to strike gold. Castillo will be hoping Josh Gordon returns to 2013 form and Joe Mixon has a breakout sophomore year. Total overall points: 3503 / 11 TH Total overall record: 9 / 17 Tied for worst Playoff appearances: None Playoff record: N/A Defense Ranking: 4 TH Mvp: TE - Travis Kelce Literally the only bright spot in 2 seasons for Sayhi2yamoms4me. Kelce is 1 of 2 players on Castillo s roster that were consistently his top scorer both seasons. The other? Andy Dalton. Best start-up draft pick: 6th Round TE - Travis Kelce When you can draft your top point scorer (non QB) in the 6 th round, 5 rounds after Gronkowski, you did something good. Worst start-up draft pick: 4th Round WR - Allen Hurns - Hurns barely broke 100 total points in 2016 and was non-existent in Castillo selected Hurns, Luck and Hopkins in the first 4 rounds of start-up. None remain on his roster. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 7th Round WR Robbie Anderson Robbie was Castillo s top WR in He just needs to stay out of trouble. Robbie Anderson and Josh Gordon on same roster playing with fire. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 3rd Round RB Jamaal Charles It s not fair to put Joe Mixon or Zay Jones in this spot just yet. So Jamaal Charles it is, scored a measly 68 pts in With decent talent still on the board, Castillo would have been better off taking another rookie RB that fits his team (i.e. Aaron Jones). Allen Hurns was also drafted and then cut again by Castillo. Best Trade: Acquiring Aaron Rodgers from the Jackin Jackals for Andrew Luck, who is a mystery at this point. Worst Trade: Trading his 1 st Round, number 3 overall, Dynasty start up draft pick, DeAndre Hopkins to the Jackin Jackals for a st round pick which resulted in Zay Jones, Eric Decker, a few other draft picks, I still have no idea what the exact stipulations were in this trade.

6 OWNERS: JEREMY FRIEDMAN & NICK SARNATORA

7 (11) HJD It was another disappointing season for the howjewdoins but after a bad trade, they made some good managerial decisions, acquiring young runningback talent and a few future 1 st round draft picks to set this young team up for success in the very near future. Picking at the #4 spot, they will look to complement a young core roster consisting of Fournette, D. Cook, Mahomes and Will Fuller. But all that said, it needs to translate into points and wins asap. Total overall points: 3336 / 12 TH Last by 167 pts. Total overall record: / 9 TH Playoff appearances: None Playoff record: N/A Defense Ranking: 12 TH Mvp: RB Leonard Fournette It s a little hard to pick an MVP on a team that looks completely different from 2016 to 2017 so I went with Leonard. He finished as the RB 10. Projected all offseason long to be the #1 pick overall in MOAD, Fournette dropped to the #3 spot and right into HJD s lap. Best start-up draft pick: 21st Round LB Deion Jones Its unfortunate that a team who ranks dead last in Defense selected this stud in the 21 st round and did not get to reap the benefits. They dropped him before the season started for LB Jerrell Freeman. Deion Jones went on to become a top 5 Linebacker 2 years in a row, including 5 th overall in scoring of all defensive players in The Defensive Coordinator should have been fired. Worst start-up draft pick: 4th Round WR Brandon Marshall - Coming off a monster 2015 season, HJD took Marshall in the 4 th hoping he could replicate those numbers. Unfortunately he had a huge down year in 2016 then was injury plagued in Looks like a 2018 cut. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 7th Round WR Will Fuller Before Deshaun Watson got hurt, Fuller was putting up huge numbers, catching 7 Touchdowns on 28 receptions. They will be hoping for more of that in Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 2nd Round RB Marshawn Lynch At the time of the pick I really liked it. Of course, however, Lynch did not put up beast mode numbers. He still finished RB 24 which would make him an RB 2 but I think HJD would have rather taken a rookie talent, i.e. Evan Engram, David Njoku, Jamaal Williams, Juju. Best Trade: After Guardi Party 69 crushed their dream of drafting Tom Brady, HJD was in need of a competent QB. They traded Crowell to Big Red for Golden Tate, then flipping Golden Tate to My Dick Ertz for Kirk Cousins who put up 350 points for them in 2016.but then.. Worst Trade: They traded Kirk Cousins and Keenan Allen (Their 2 nd round Dynasty start-up pick whom they sat on for an entire year waiting for him to get healthy and back to a WR1, which he did) to American Thunder for Matt I was a top 10 fantasy QB once Ryan and Michael Crabtree.

8 OWNER: VITO GUARDI

9 (10) GUARDI PARTY 69 Guardi Party 69 Fell short of the playoffs again after improving on their campaign. If this league allowed you to start 4 Wide Receivers, vito would have the best lineup. With the return of the Running Back position in fantasy, GP69 needs to evolve. Total overall points: 3552 / 9 TH Total overall record: / Tied 7 TH Playoff appearances: None Playoff record: N/A Defense Ranking: 11 TH Mvp: RB Lesean McCoy Finishing the RB 7 this year, McCoy has been consistently Vito s top (non-qb) scorer both years. He s not getting any younger though and GP69 has nobody behind him. Best start-up draft pick: 7th Round WR Michael Thomas Thomas was ranked the 8 th best WR in his draft class and immediately became the best. Vito grabbed him in the 7 th round, what a steal. Thomas has been GP69 s 2 nd best (non QB) scorer. Worst start-up draft pick: 3rd Round RB Doug Martin Whether it was injury, suspensions or just plain underachieving, Martin has been a huge bust for GP69, crippling him at the RB position. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 1st Round WR Corey Davis A very surprising pick considering GP69 needed some RB depth. Corey Davis didn t show much early this season but came on strong late and showed his potential. He will be a WR1 in the future. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 3rd Round LB Hasaan Reddick With Linebackers going off the board as early as round 3, Vito jumped on one. And Reddick immediately jumped off his roster shortly after. Live and learn. Best Trade: Trading Sammy Watkins to My Dick Ertz for James White and Bobby Wagner. On paper, it looks terrible but Bobby Wagner contributed to GP69 s points total a hell of a lot more than Watkins. He has a top 3 LB for a position player he s stacked at. Worst Trade: Its not as bad as people hyped it up to be but the Tom Brady / Njoku trade for Ogletree, Hunter Henry, Carson Palmer wasn t great for GP69. Palmer is now retired, Dereck Carr and Ogletree regressed. Henry s future will be the factor in deciding whether this trade was worth it or not.

10 OWNER: DAVE TRAKIMOWICZ

11 (9) TRAK THE RIPPER Everyone laughed at Trak s team in the beginning of the 2017 season. He had the last laugh as his team improved from 6-7 to 9-4 earning a 1 st round bye. Trak had a cinderella season, and like all fairy tales, they eventually end. With Big Ben, Gronk, Gore and Witten all contemplating retirement, his team needs to get young immediately. Kareem Hunt is a good start. Total overall points: 3617 / 8 TH Total overall record: / 4 TH Playoff appearances: 1 Playoff record: 0-1 Defense Ranking: 10 TH Mvp: RB Kareem Hunt Hunt finished the 4 th overall RB in his rookie campaign. He will be a RB1 for years to come. Best start-up draft pick: 8th Round WR Stefon Diggs Diggs has been consistent for Trak, scoring about 200 points in back to back years. Good value pick. For those wondering. He picked up Adam Thielen in November of 2016 off waivers. Worst start-up draft pick: 3rd Round RB Eddie Lacy 3 rd Round RB busts seem to be a trend in this league. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 1st Round RB Kareem Hunt This was easy because it was his only good pick of the 2017 Rookie/FA draft. What a rookie season this guy put together. Disappeared a bit in middle of the season but finished strong. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 2nd Round WR Kenny Stills I understood the thought process here but there was way too much rookie talent left. Could have gotten Stills in the 7 th round or from waivers. Guy still hasn t reached his full potential though. Best Trade: N/A Worst Trade: N/A

12 OWNER: DAVE NATA

13 (8) NATA THING U CAN DO From last place to the playoffs in one year. Nata thing you can do is trending in the right direction. He proved that you can turn your team around very quickly in MOAD. First round playoff loss but the future is bright with a young core roster of Wentz, McCaffrey, T. Hill and Cooper Kupp. Total overall points: 3640 / 7 TH Total overall record: 9-17 / Tied for worst Playoff appearances: 1 Playoff record: 0-1 Defense Ranking: 7 TH Mvp: WR Tyreek Hill Putting up 220+ points in back to back seasons, Tyreek the freak proved he is not just a gimmick player. He finished WR8 this year and solidified himself into Nata s weekly starting lineup. Mahomes to Hill in Best start-up draft pick: 26th Round QB Jimmy Garropolo So he dropped him for Orleans Darkwa, so what, it did not hurt his team because of a move he made later on in the season. Worst start-up draft pick: 1st Round WR Allen Robinson Having a down year in 2016, then getting hurt for the 2017 season, A-Rob really needs to be comeback player of the year in 2018 to make this 1 st round Dynasty start-up pick make sense. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 3rd Round WR Cooper Kupp Cooper Kupp showed promise that he can become Nata s WR2/3 of the future. If Watkins goes away, this guy will only get more targets and more opportunity. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 5th Round RB Jeremy McNichols Not that we expect much from our 5 th round rookie/fa draft picks but what makes this pick so bad is just how horrible McNichols was. A famous character on Hard Knocks for all the wrong reasons. I don t even think this guy is in the league anymore. Best Trade: The trade that made Nata say, Jimmy Who? Nata trades away Jeremy Hill to the American Thunder for Carson Wentz. Redemption. Worst Trade: N/A

14 OWNERS: MATT SOMODI & AHMED ATTAL

15 (7) JACKIN JACKALS What a strange 2017 season for the Jackin Jackals (Formerly The Coyotes). They added a co-owner, changed their team name and made some VERY questionable managerial decisions including trading away Aaron Rodgers and DeAndre Hopkins. After making the playoffs in 2016, they sabotaged their 2017 season and fell short. What is going on in that front office?! Total overall points: 3748 / 4 TH Total overall record: / 5 TH Playoff appearances: 1 Playoff record: 1-1 Defense Ranking: 5 TH Mvp: RB Ezekiel Elliot Even after being suspended for 6 games, Zeke still finished the season as an RB1. Crazy. Best start-up draft pick: 6th Round RB Duke Johnson Jr. Duke broke out this year in a big way for a guy who is just a complimentary back. He finished as the overall RB 11, putting him in the RB1 category. Not a bad duo of Zeke and Duke. Worst start-up draft pick: 1st Round WR Dez Bryant Being completely underwhelming in the last 2 years, this pick is completely disappointing. Dez has not had 1,000 yards since Bum. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 7th Round WR DeDe Westbrook DeDe was the best statistical WR in college in 2016 and it looked like the Jackals got a steal. Unfortunately, injury concerns and attitude concerns caused the Jackals to drop DeDe before he got to show his true potential. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 2nd Round WR Chris Hogan Only scoring 110 points due to injuries and lack of playing time, Hogan is looking like a 2 nd round bust. Its ok though because this draft worked out pretty good for the Jackals. See below. Best Trade: Taking advantage of Castillo falling in love with draft picks, they acquired DeAndre Hopkins from him for 3 magic beans. Amazing trade but of course, the Jackals found a way to ruin a good thing. 7 months later, they finally understand they messed up royally. Worst Trade: Trading away DeAndre Hopkins, a top 3 dynasty start-up player, to the American Thunder for the st and 3 rd round picks and the st and 3 rd round picks They better hit on some of those picks.

16 OWNER: JIM MARRONE

17 (6) BIG RED MACHINE Marrone went from a dominating 2016 season, points wise, to a horrendous 2017 season. Marrone has the 3 rd highest points combined in 2 seasons, yet he only has 9 wins. Horrible luck with matchups. And obviously a David Johnson injury didn t help. Big Red still might have the best running back combo in the league and will hope to build on that heading into the 2018 season. He will need one of his young receivers to breakout before that happens. Total overall points: 3817 / 3rd Total overall record: 9-17 / Tied for last Playoff appearances: 1 Playoff record: 0-1 Defense Ranking: 9 TH Mvp: RB David Johnson It showed how much DJ was Marrone s MVP as he went to the playoffs with him, then finished 2 nd to last without him. While I don t think DJ will have another 400 pt. year like he did in 2016, he will still carry Big Red. Best start-up draft pick: 14th Round QB Matthew Stafford Stafford has been Marrone s most consistent player, scoring 330 points in back to back seasons. While quarterbacks were going off the board like crazy, Marrone remained true to his strategy of waiting on a QB. A total of 17 Quarterbacks were taken before Stafford in start-up, only 3 scored more points than him in Worst start-up draft pick: 2nd Round RB Adrian Peterson Getting hurt in 2016 and being a total bum in 2017, AP is shaping up to be a 2 nd round start-up bust. Not sure how much this guys has left. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 2nd Round TE Evan Engram Finishing with 175 points in his first year, Engram ended up being the best rookie tight end and 5 th overall in Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 5 of his 6 picks are contributing and/or look promising. Best Trade: Receiving a 2 nd round 2018 pick from The Funky Bunch for Delanie Walker. Having Evan Engram, it only made sense to sell an aging tight end for an additional pick in a down year. Worst Trade: Trading kickers with Trak. Fuck you guys.

18 OWNER: LUIS GONZALEZ

19 (5) MARIOTA & CHEESE From 11 th place to the playoffs in just one year. Kitten s team is still young but he made a questionable managerial decision this year. Knowing he was going to acquire Le Veon Bell, he traded away Julio Jones when he was about to make a playoff run. Mind blowing. Total overall points: 3712 / 6 TH Total overall record: / Tied 7 TH Playoff appearances: 1 Playoff record: 0-1 Defense Ranking: 2 nd Mvp: RB Jordon Howard Believe it or not, J How has been the kitten s most consistent player. I remember calling this guy a bum, I was wrong. He isn t the sexiest player but he s a steady RB2 and I would cherish that. Best start-up draft pick: 21st Round RB Chris Thompson Before getting hurt, Thompson was on pace for 60+ catches in Its too bad the kitten is too scared to actually put this guy in his starting lineup. Worst start-up draft pick: 2nd Round WR Corey Coleman I could ve picked Maclin in the 4 th but I know this one will hurt him just a bit more. Not sure if we will ever see this guy healthy. Shaping up to be a mega bust. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 3rd Round RB Tarik Cohen This fireball was off to a hot start. I think Chicago started to misuse him and his numbers suffered. Kitten ended up trading Cohen to HJD in the Le Veon Bell deal. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 2nd Round RB Joe Williams It might be soon to say but we ve heard nothing from this guy, looks like Breida or someone else in the backfield for San Fran in Best Trade: Receiving Jordan Howard and a 2 nd Round pick (which he then traded for Jimmy Graham) from My Dick Ertz for Tevin Coleman and Tyler Boyd. Worst Trade: Kitten went all in for the championship this year in acquiring Le Veon Bell on the back 9 of his career from HJD for Dalvin Cook, Tarik Cohen, and I believe a 2018 and st Round pick. Way too much for an aging running back.

20 OWNER: PETE MARASCIA

21 (4) MR. COCKENSCHTUFF How does the last place finisher of 2017 with a historically bad season get ranked 4 th? Lets take a serious look into Pete s season. It was very unlucky, much like Marrones. The Saints turned into a run first offense, Hilton didn t have Andrew Luck, Evans had a down year with an injured Winston, Demarco Murray was still lingering around in Tennessee. Pete s roster is very promising with Goff, Evans, Hilton, Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley (prospectively). This is a team that was in the championship game just over a year ago. Should be poised for a bounce back season. Total overall points: 3551 / 10 TH Total overall record: / 6 TH Playoff appearances: 1 Playoff record: 1-1 Defense Ranking: 8 TH Mvp: WR Mike Evans Evans had a down year but still finished with 70 receptions and over 1,000 yards. He is still a guy you build your dynasty around and will have a bounce back year. Best start-up draft pick: 21st Round QB Jared Goff After a terrible rookie year, Goff got a new coach in 2017 and broke out in a big way. Goff played well enough to give Pete the confidence to trade away Drew Brees. Great GM moves. Worst start-up draft pick: 3rd Round RB Thomas Rawls Yet another 3 rd round start-up RB bust. Rawls looked like a promising bruiser but just never achieved his full potential. Pete ended up trading Rawls to HJD for Coby Fleener. It was a loss for everyone. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 3rd Round RB Aaron Jones The Green Bay backfield is puzzling. Nobody truly knows who will separate themselves as the lead back just yet but Jones showed he can ball. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 7th Round TE Bucky Hodges It s a 7 th round pick wasted on a Tight End, who gives a shit. Best Trade: Trading Drew Brees and Demarco Murray away just before they started to completely lose their value. Not sure exactly what he got from the Jackin Jackals, Marvin Jones and a few draft picks but trading those 2 guys away takes the tough decision on figuring out when to drop them. Worst Trade: It s not a bad trade I just didn t really like it. Pete traded away James Conner to the Kitten for Taylor Gabriel. When a team selects a running back in the 3 rd Round or better Id like to keep them around for a year or 2. But what do I know. 3 rd place.

22 OWNER: MIKE WALLACE

23 (3) THE FUNKY BUNCH How appropriate my team is at the #3 spot. For life. The final 3 teams are the only teams with a winning record and have been to the playoffs both years. The funky bunch should be fine with a core group of russel Wilson, obj, julio jones and Kamara. Its all about winning a playoff game now. That is the only goal this year, to get over the hump and become a rhino. Total overall points: 3887 / 2 nd Total overall record: 20 6 / 2 nd Playoff appearances: 2 Playoff record: 0-2 Defense Ranking: 6 TH Mvp: WR Larry Fitzgerald Larry Legend has finished with 250+ points in back to back years proving he is ageless. Larry filled in when OBJ went down and produced 260 points and claiming the #6 WR spot overall in more year! Best start-up draft pick: 7th Round TE Zach Ertz Drafting the #3 overall TE in the last 2 years at the 7 th round is great.but not so great when you trade him away before you know you have. More on that later. Worst start-up draft pick: 4th Round WR Tyler Lockett So many to choose but this one hurts the most. Getting caught up in the QB to WR double points idea got the best of me. Tyler Lockett is a huge bust, especially as a 4 th round Dynasty pick. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 1st Round RB Alvin Kamara Nobody predicted the season Kamara would have. The fact that he fell into my lap was complete luck. Thank you Vito. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 4th Round TE Austin Sefferian Jenkins I was confident ASJ would have a comeback year and it looked promising at the start but completely faded away as the season went on. Traded him to the Kitten. He will break out now. Best Trade: With no confidence in Russel Wilson after the first 2 weeks I received Tom Brady and Njoku from GP69 for Hunter Henry, Alec Ogletree and Carson Palmer who both regressed. Sorry Vito. Worst Trade: Trading away James White and Zach Ertz to My Dick Ertz for Tevin Coleman. I had much higher expectation for Coleman, its not working out. On the bright side, if Francis didn t have Ertz, Walkin might be a back to back champ right now.

24 OWNER: JOE WALKIN

25 (2) AMERICAN THUNDER The first ever MOAD champ finds himself in the #2 spot after a close loss in the 2017 championship game. This roster is set up for another successful year, as long as he can get into the playoffs. Depth and BYE weeks are his weakness but trade raping is his strength. Lets see where the numbers stack up. Total overall points: 3744 / 5 th Total overall record: 21 5 / 1 st Playoff appearances: 2 Playoff record: 4-1 Defense Ranking: 3 rd Mvp: RB Todd Gurley I mean what a year. 383 points in 2017, which is 183 more points than his down year in And to think he was starting to think he made a mistake not taking David Johnson. It worked out. Best start-up draft pick: 22nd Round TE Kyle Rudolph Not the most appealing choice but let me know explain. Joe drafted 4 tight ends in the start-up draft. Rudolph was his 3 rd pick after selecting Ladarius Green and Julius Thomas in the 7 th /8 th rounds. Rudolph ended up being the only option at this position and ended up helping contribute to his championship 2016 season. Worst start-up draft pick: 4th Round WR Kevin White Where 3 rd round RB busts were a trend, the 4 th round WR bust also seems to be a trend. Kevin White has barely touched the field and is a possible 2018 /cut. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 2nd Round WR Juju Smith-Schuster Probably the best WR in the draft class so far, and the youngest, Juju came on strong for the Steelers and gave American Thunder help at a position he desperately needed. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 1st Round WR John Ross While the jury is still out, barely touching the field and not beating out Brandon Lafell is not a good start. Best Trade: I mean the trade heard round the world that only made the rich, richer. Acquiring DeAndre Hopkins from the Jackin Jackals for st /3 rd round picks and st /3 rd round picks. If only he had Deshaun Watson to pair him up with. Worst Trade: Trading Keenan Allen, Gerald Everett and a nd round pick to My Dick Ertz for Sammy Watkins and OJ Howard. While the American Thunder got their guy in Howard, it came at a cost. In the end I think Everett and Howard will have similar careers.

26 OWNER: FRANCIS NOVITSKIE

27 (1) MY DICK ERTZ Its no surprise we find the reigning champ here at #1. My Dick Ertz has scored the most points overall in 2 seasons of MOAD. Has the 2 nd ranked Defense. And the most trades. All in all this has to be the favorite heading into the 2018 season. His roster isn t the sexiest on paper but he always seems to have the right guys at the right time. Total overall points: 3922 / 1 st Total overall record: / 3 rd Playoff appearances: 2 Playoff record: 4-1 Defense Ranking: 1 st Mvp: WR Antonio Brown It s a no brainer. You just know you re going to get 20+ points a week from this guy. Scoring 310 points exactly in back to back years just shows how consistent he is. Consistency is the best quality in any player. Best start-up draft pick: 13th Round RB Dion Lewis He wouldn t be on the list if Francis didn t win the championship. He took this guy in the 13 th round of start-up, stashed him for 2 years, then finally got to unleash him in the 2017 playoffs where he helped him win the Whole. Fucking. Thing. Worst start-up draft pick: 4th Round WR DeVante Parker Another 4 th round WR bust. So sick of hearing about this guy breaking out. He actually had better numbers as a rookie. He regressed in his breakout year. Best 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 4th Round QB DeShaun Watson I think it was the 4 th round.anyway, before he got hurt, this dude broke out in a huge way. Putting up ridiculous numbers in his shortened season. It ll be interesting to see My Dick Ertz struggled to decide who to start, Newton or Watson. Worst 2017 Rookie/FA draft pick: 3rd Round LB Rueben Foster 2 arrests, 0 sacks. Might be a 2018 /cut. Best Trade: This was the hardest team to track down all the trades for. He seriously has a problem. It has to be Sammy Watkins/O.J. Howard to American Thunder for Keenan Allen, Gerald Everett and nd round pick. Taking best player available in OJ Howard in the 2017 draft really worked out. Worst Trade: It s hard to say because all his bad trades ended up in him flipping those players for guys he wanted. I could say the Tevin Coleman/Jordan Howard trade but he got Ertz. I could say the Wagner/White for Watkins trade but he got Keenan Allen. Best GM in MOAD? Maybe.
