This is late but better late than never!

I was looking at our draft and I saw some interesting things and thought of laying out Oscar ishtyle. Let’s have the NJ rookies’ fantasy draft 2009 awards. So here it goes....

ROD Award (reach of the draft) - HOGWARTS GRYFFINDOR- Tony Romo

Jury Notes: The ADP (average draft pick) for Romo is 32. Darshini has it as a #1 pick. Now that’s called love for a player

SOD (steal of the draft) Award- The TryThrowCatch!- Reggie Bush

Jury Notes: ADP for Bush is 67. Moor got it at pick#81. Well done!

 

All-in-the-family Award -DAZZLING JAMKUDI for picking up Brian Westbrook

Jury Notes: #1 pick for team DJ is Westbook. I met with a certain Mrs.Acharya “why westbrook?” The answer was fairly simple “Mara chipoo ne game che ne”

So once again westbook stays in the Acharya family!

I-need-a-Defense-ASAP Award -Team Puntars- Steelers Defense in Round 6 !

Jury Notes: The draft pundits recommend to draft a defense in the last or second last round. But we had a defense drafted in round 6 of 13!!

Interestingly Pitt Defense was drafted before both the Steelers WR! Goes to show how much we trust the WR (or the QB)

That takes us to the I-Cant-believe-you-would-do-this Award- Team Neil B. Formee Ben Roethlisberger (a.k.a Steelers hater).

Jury Notes: How could you draft a QB which you hate from the bottom of your guts! Well just goes to show what fantasy does to you.

Runners up to I-Cant-believe-you-would-do-this Award - HOGWARTS GRYFFINDOR-

Jury Notes: For picking up Giants DST. (even though the Cowboys DST was available). Now that’s what I call Fantasy bhai-chara.

I-am-faithful-to-my-Jaadiya Award- Team Chipolopolo Brandon Jacobs

Jury Notes: Once again Jadiya Jacobs ends up with Chipolopolo who interestingly drafted him despite Thomas Jones still available (who helped his team go places). I met with the team owner after that draft and all he had to say “Mera jaadiya sirf mera hai”

Are-we-there-yet Award - END ZONE DIVA

Jury Notes: The rookie team owner was very frustrated for being the 12^th pick. She has appealed to the drafting committee for keeping the draft time shorter. She took few short naps, watched Bidayii, mere babul ki saans pata nahi kahan chali gayi….. and a few more soaps while we all were drafting.

All those who have not won any award don’t worry. You were all considered in special categories viz

I-Cant-believe-I-did-not-draft-Tom-Brady: Team Knock U Down

What-do-I-Do-with-pick#168- Team Rainbow Catchers (Michael Vick! Come you could have done better)

To-Auto Pick-or-Not-To-Auto Pick- TERRA COTTA BLITZERZ

Can-I-start-adding-and-dropping-Players-Before-I-Draft Award - DEVISH THE SMASHER

Also every week I am going to attempt to predict the winner between our match ups and keep a record of my prediction. The section will contain

KDB prediction – Predict who will win or loose and challenge ESPN stats

SDB Analysis – Explain on the whys and hows and strengths and weaknesses.

Airy Fairy Hawa Hawaii Prediction- Predict something weird or something which has very low chance of happening.

Disclaimer: The predictions are based on the line ups I see (last minute changes are not accounted but that's OK. KDB and SDB are not going to whine about it). Form next week I will update this on Sunday before the game.

	PROJECTED PTS			PROJECTED PTS	Kaam Dev Baba (KDB) prediction	Sam Dev Baba (SDB) analysis	Airy Fairy Hawa Hawaii Prediction
Knock... UDown	111		Team Neil B. Formee	120	Team Neil B. Formee	Both teams are projected to score high. Infact higher than any other team. SDB can see with the third eye that Team NBF is going to have a upper hand coz of its WR. Despite opening the season with -4 and 14 Team NBF will bounce back.	Hassleback scores more than Warner
DEVISH THE SMASHERS	105		The TryThrowCatch!	102	The TryThrowCatch!	Last years Rookie QB vs This years rookie QB. On this one I am going against ESPN. SDB thinks 2 RB's of TTC will our run the stud WR of DTS.	Dallas Clark scores more points than Leon Washington
my AYYARS	106		Team Chipolopolo	101	my AYYARS	Good team but bad match ups is the reason SBD is thinks Chipopo is doing down this week. Interesting to see both teams are overall stable. But Sam Dev Baba thinks in the battle of the bulges (mota pet vs guju seth) Ayyars will come out top	Ayyars bench scores 30% more than Chipopo's bench
Hogwarts Gryffindor	97		Team Puntars	101	Hogwarts Gryffindor	Brady, Larry Fitz vs Romo, Moss. Close very close. But HG is going to edge out Puntars. The difference maker is going to be the HG's RB	Total points scored by 3 RB's on the bench (combined) for HG will be less than the points scored by Tom Brady alone
Rainbow Catchers	82		Terra Cotta Blitzerz	94	Rainbow Catchers	Adrian Peterson, Cutler,Steve Smith, TO. SBD looks no more SBD thinks no more SBD writes no more. SBD predicts RC as winner	TO + Bowe < LT + HighTower TO+Bowe <>
End zone diva	84		Dazzling Jamkudi	84	Dazzling Jamkudi	Battle of the Rookies and Battle of the QB's. Brees vs Manning. SDB thinks Chad Ochocinco is going to break the tie.	TD's by Brees + Addai > TD's by P.Manning + Westbrook
