2015 Offseason Divisional Rankings

[Wascawy Wabbits]

Thought I'd post how I think the divisional rankings shake out now that the draft is done

Northwest
1) Pacific Pigskins: Returns much of the team that made it to the finals last year
2) Midwest Connection: Things are looking up, just not sure the roster is strong enough to be tops in the division
3) Vitside Mafia: Depth at the WR position is a bit dicey
4) Gridiron Geeks: That team was a dumpster fire when it was taken over, hopefully next year will be better. Gurley at the 1.02 is a great start!

Southwest
1) LB-Decleaters: Perennial contender. Good depth all around. If Hyde works out, even better.
2) Las Vegas Elite: Lots to look forward to this season. May even have a chance to overtake LB if Bradford works out in CK's system and Watkins progresses.
3) Degenerates: Brady facing suspension. Not a lot of "WOW" to the roster, but lots of strong solid players and good depth
4) Poker In The Rear: The NFL draft didn't bode well for Poker.. Mason was looking good until STL drafted Gurley. Will Ajayi cut into Miller's numbers too? Trestman effect on Flacco should be good, and a rebound year from Megatron will help.

Central
1) Bring The Pain: Defending Champ. OBJ was balls to the wall last year. Hard to find a hole in his starting lineup. Just not sure how well this team will do if injuries start to add up
2) Amish Rakefighters: Surprised everyone last year becoming division champ. Boosted lineup w/ additions of Dez and MG3, lineup compares well to BTP. His bench has upside w/ Adams, Latimer, & Stills.
3) Wascawy Wabbits: Another strong lineup in this division w/ the assets to make moves in-season to go for a big name or three. Don't think there's a huge gap separating BTP, Amish, and Wabbits in this division.
4) Executioners: Process of elimination, just not sure the starting lineup stacks up against the others top to bottom

Eastern aka WeHeartQBs (21 QBs currently rostered in this division)
1) Dark Magicians of Chaos: Strongest lineup in this division, but not sure that's saying much
2) Running The Dream: Wasn't sure who to choose between RTD and FRA for the #2 spot, going w/ RTD although I think these teams may finish relatively close to one another
3) Fire Ready Aim: Rebuilding year for FRA. Pieces are in place though w/ lots to look forward to, could easily see him finishing above RTD, especially if CPatt gets his crap together.
4) Devil Dogs: Front runner for the 1.01, but pretty sure that's on purpose w/ over $20m in cap space and no significant FA signings this season and no really big contracts rostered heading into next season other than Doug Martin.

FLAME AWAY

I'm pretty positive you can say that about any team....ever.

No kidding, one Rivers hangnail and my season is over. LOL

Some teams have deeper benches than others. Amongst the teams that I think would be ranked the top of their division, I think BTP's bench has one of the ones w/ a lower amount of potential points and would net the less in a trade. Sanu, Storm, Baby Hawk, Reed (while has shown flashes, his concussion history is quite extensive)... I don't think these are exactly world beaters that someone would go out of their way trade for?

And Amish, if Rivers were to go down, your bench appears to have players that could return a decent QB in a trade if that were to happen. Just depends how willing you'd be to move those players that are being asked for. Not owning your 2016 1st anymore, I would think you would do all that you could to make sure that's not an early pick next season. I bet MWC is hoping for a couple injuries and for you to sell the farm.

Myself, I'm also taking a huge chance only having Big Ben rostered as well. It's a calculated risk. If he goes down, I'll assess my team at the time and decide what I want to do - Do I want to make a push or do I see what AJG, Foster, Nelson, White can bring me in a trade since their contracts expire and look towards next season? A low end backup QB isn't going to help my team win a championship, so why bother rostering one right now when I think other players have higher upside?
