**Draft Self-Review…**  
I pretty much played it safe this year. No pick trading. No reaches. No projects. And most of the players I picked were the BPA at their draft slot.

**1.12 - Zay Jones, WR, BUF**  
Sammy Watkins was sent packing and Anquan Boldin retired, so Zay Jones is somehow the #1 receiver in Buffalo. He had a good preseason, and the sportswriters like him, but the QB situation in Buffalo is awful. So it remains to be seen if he’ll be able to contribute this year. But I like him very much for the future.

**3.06 - Aaron Jones, RB, GB**  
Jones is sitting behind Ty Montgomery and Jamaal Williams on the depth chart, but the sportswriters like him as well, so maybe he’ll get his chance someday.

**4.06 - Wayne Gallman, NYG, RB**  
No one on the Giants seems to like Paul Perkins (who I actually traded up to get last year), so it’s possible that he’ll be out before the end of the year. Gallman hasn’t wowed anybody so far, but he was a good pick at this point in the draft and a decent insurance policy for a Perkins-less Giants.

**Supplemental 1.3 - Trevor Siemian, QB, DEN**  
Trevor Siemian is boring, but he’s also a decent emergency QB. And if I need him, I’ll be glad I have him.

**Overall Outlook…**  
Once again I repeat, my team is OLD. But short of blowing up absolutely everything, I’m kind of stuck in limbo this year. I’ve still got enough firepower to contend for a playoff spot, but I don’t think I’ve got championship hopes this year. And that Julian Edelman injury really hurts me. But I can probably still expect great years from Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, and Devonta Freeman.

And if I miss the playoffs, probably enough to dominate the Consolation Bracket at the very least.
