Weekly Rankings Update - NFL Draft Edition
What’s up DFS fans? The 2014 NFL draft is only a few hours away, and I know there’s nothing you’d rather be doing right now than catching up on the latest movers and shakers in the RG Leaderboards! I thank you for that, truly.
In honor of what could be, in my opinion, one of the best drafts we’ve seen in a long time, I decided to dedicate this week’s update to NFL Draft Busts. So let’s take a break from all the obnoxious Manziel chatter and enjoy some of the fails of yesteryear.
Rankings Breakdown this Week
- Part One: Top-25 Overall
- Part Two: Movement in the Top 100
- Part Three: TPOY Leaderboard

Cards and McJester are neck and neck and going strong atop the TPOY leaderboard so far this year. Who would be your #1 overall pick in a RotoGrinders Expert Tournament Player draft? And who would be the Ryan Leaf of the draft (or as he’s shown in this gif, Ryan Thief)?

Notes
Sirius XM’s favorite player, BirdWings still sits atop the MLB rankings. One of the best in the game, no doubt.
You know who wasn’t one of the best in the game? Raiders #1 overall pick Jamarcus Russell. But I can’t find a funny gif of him, so I’m going to substitute it for one of another bad QB, Brandon Weeden. Deal with it.

Notes
[Insert weekly terrible Condia joke here]
Oops! Looks like I left part of my article template in this week. Ah well, you get the picture. Dropping the ball for NBA player of the year at this point would be a bigger fail than the infamous Mark Sanchez butt fumble.

We’re pretty far into the Stanley Cup playoffs at this point, and Lowkey is pulling away atop the NHL leaderboard.
Keep up the good fight, puck heads. I present to you, the coolest hand shake in NFL Draft history:

Notes
Condia still going strong in May with the NBA playoffs going. It seems like he’s started to dip his toes in the MLB waters as well, which is quite interesting for the DFS landscape.
If it were still around today, I would guess that the FanDuel chat would have the same reaction to Condia playing MLB that Jets fans had when they drafted Geno Smith:
