The most optimistic outlook for William's team comes from FootballGuys. They gave him a C+ for his draft, just below their minimum grade of C. FantasyPros gave him an F and RotoTrade gave him a D for his draft.

It should be noted that while 9 of 10 highlighted experts on FantasyPros give William a grade of D+ or worse (69 or lower), Joe Orrico of No Expert Fantasy Football gives him a score of B- (81), highlighting RJ Harvey and Tank Bigsby as picks he really liked.

RotoTrade Analysis: "This is a well below-average team that likely won't make the playoffs. Try to make a trade to upgrade a position or two and be very active on the waiver wire to attempt to find guys who can improve your roster."

FootballGuys Rate Analysis: "Your quarterback group shines bright with an A+ grade, giving you a strong foundation in a league that only starts one QB. Meanwhile, your running backs and wide receivers show a mixed bag, with starters at RB graded C and WRs struggling overall. The tight end and defense units offer some intriguing upside, but bench depth at WR is a glaring weak spot."

FantasyPros Hindsight: If William had taken Nico Collins at 1.06 and Tyjae Spears at 15.06 instead of Derrick Henry and Dont'e Thornton, respectively, his team score of 565 (#12) would have gone up by 53 points and would be tied for 10th.

FootballGuys gives Sean a grade of C for his draft where FantasyPros and RotoTrade each offered slightly less optimistic outlooks with C- grades.

RotoTrade Analysis: "This roster is below average but isn't terrible. Making the playoffs would be a good accomplishment, but to do that, you'll likely need to upgrade several positions through trades or waiver wire pickups."

FootballGuys Analysis: "The team’s backbone is a rock-solid running back group, but the quarterback and tight end spots leave some questions."

Interestingly, FootballGuys gave Cory the highest draft grade of our three sources with a B-, but ranked his team 8th in the league while RotoTrade and FantasyPros both ranked him 5th. Yet somehow his playoff probability puts him at 10th. Should be a fascinating season for the commissioner.

RotoTrade Analysis: "This roster is below average but isn't terrible. Making the playoffs would be a good accomplishment, but to do that, you'll likely need to upgrade several positions through trades or waiver wire pickups."

FootballGuys Analysis: "Your league's unique scoring with first down bonuses... plays right into your hands with a strong RB group and a deep WR bench. But the kicker situation? Sorry, but yikes - that's a glaring hole."

None of the three sites is particularly optimistic about Jeffery's team. Certainly he was hurt by being moved to the last pick of every round in the draft. But FootballGuys at least gives him a C+ and just over 25% odds of making the playoffs with average roster management. That's pretty good considering the disadvantage he was at and even odds would be a 33.3% shot.

RotoTrade Analysis: "This is a slightly below average team, but making the playoffs isn't out of the question. Making some good pickups throughout the season and possibly a smart trade or two would significantly increase your chances to make the playoffs."

FootballGuys Analysis: "Your roster construction leans on strong wide receiver and tight end groups, but the defense and special teams units are dragging the grade down."

FantasyPros absolutely hates Ant's draft, grading it the second worst in the AFL. The other two sites actually have him dead-center of the league, though, and FootballGuys in particularly seems to be looking at his playoff chances through a glass-half-full lense, giving him nearly even odds at 32.9%!

RotoTrade Analysis: "This is a slightly below average team, but making the playoffs isn't out of the question. Making some good pickups throughout the season and possibly a smart trade or two would significantly increase your chances to make the playoffs."

FootballGuys Analysis: "Your team's construction reflects a balanced approach with a few standout positions. Your playoff chances hover around the middle ground, so there's room to maneuver and improve as the season progresses."

Evan's analysis runs the gamut, from FootballGuys giving him a B, to RotoTrade level-setting expectations with a C, and then FantasyPros knocking him with a D. So who knows what Evan should expect this year. As long as he's happy with his team, that's all that matters, I suppose.

RotoTrade Analysis: "This is a slightly below average team, but making the playoffs isn't out of the question. Making some good pickups throughout the season and possibly a smart trade or two would significantly increase your chances to make the playoffs."

FootballGuys Analysis: "With a balanced mix of star power and depth, this team shows clear strengths at quarterback and running back, while wide receiver depth shines mostly on the bench.

Your roster construction leans heavily on a strong starting lineup, especially at QB and RB, but bench depth at running back is a glaring weakness."

Oddly, RotoTrade gives Alex a much higher playoff probability than Evan despite identical grades and similar record predictions, and that's what puts him ahead of Evan despite a lower average letter grade across the three sources.

RotoTrade Analysis: "You have some good players that might give you a chance to compete this year, as long as you stay healthy. If you can make a trade that upgrades a starter or two, you would help your chances of making the playoffs."

FootballGuys Analysis: "This team's construction shows some clear strengths and notable weaknesses. Their running back group shines bright, while the tight end spot is a mixed bag of low starting value but strong bench depth."

Our new assistant to the commissioners had a pretty solid draft, one of four managers to earn a C+ or better from all three sources.

RotoTrade Analysis: "You have a slightly above average team and could make the playoffs if one or two players outperform their expectations. You are likely not strong enough to seriously compete for a title, but if you can make the playoffs, anything can happen."

FootballGuys Analysis: "The league's single QB and two-flex setup means your depth and flexibility at RB and WR are crucial, and you've done well there. However, some position groups like QB and TE could use shoring up."

The bad news is FantasyPros isn't a fan of our defending champ's squad this year. Stephen became the third AFL manager with multiple titles, and he'll begin his third title quest with better outlooks from RotoTrade and FootballGuys.

RotoTrade Analysis: "You have a slightly above average team and could make the playoffs if one or two players outperform their expectations. You are likely not strong enough to seriously compete for a title, but if you can make the playoffs, anything can happen."

The AFL's runner up a couple of years ago, Alex seems to have set himself up nicely for another run to the playoffs. Considered by RotoTrade as a borderline playoff contender with a likely first-round exit alongside Stephen and Will, FantasyPros is the differentiator. They rank Alex's squad significantly ahead of Stephen's and marginally ahead of Will's.

RotoTrade Analysis: "You have a slightly above average team and could make the playoffs if one or two players outperform their expectations. You are likely not strong enough to seriously compete for a title, but if you can make the playoffs, anything can happen."

FootballGuys Analysis: "With a league setup that includes first down bonuses and return yards scoring, your team's ability to capitalize on consistent yardage and special teams production could be a real edge. Your overall grade reflects a team that's competitive but not quite elite."

Note: I think this is the first time I've ever seen only one 'WHAT IF?' suggestion for a team, suggesting that FantasyPros views Alex's draft as darn near perfect for who was available at each of his picks.

As usual, Eric is near the top of FantasyPros post-draft league rankings. I mentioned last year that this has virtually always been the case. Usually other sources don't like his team as much, but this is the second year in a row that all three like him. Considering he is the reigning Snyder Award holder, this might not be a good thing.

RotoTrade Analysis: "You have a strong team that should easily make the playoffs. If you stay healthy, you should be one of the few teams with a realistic shot to win the title."

FootballGuys Analysis: "Your roster construction shows a bold approach, especially with a start-studded wide receiver group and a high-upside quarterback tandem. However, some position groups reveal vulnerabilities that could challenge your championship aspirations."

With Puka Nacua in the 11th and Malik Nabers in the 16th, it would have been rather disappointing had Brandon had his draft graded anywhere but here.

Two years removed from his first Sabol Bowl title, his window has been thrown back open for the 2025 season and every source seems to think it's his to lose.

RotoTrade Analysis: "You are probably one of the best teams in your league. It would be a big upset if you don't make the playoffs and you have a good chance to win your league's title."

FootballGuys Analysis: "While the starters shine with top-tier grades, the bench depth is equally impressive, particularly at WR and RB, giving the team flexibility and injury insurance. However, the kicker position is a glaring weak spot, dragging down the overall special teams grade."
