2023 Draft — Brady's Out

→

Ladies and gentlemen, the league office has completed its official review of the Brady's Out 2023 rookie draft class, and after consulting with three analysts, one bourbon, and whatever this fourth glass is, Roger is prepared to render his verdict. Your 2.02 pick is a mild reach — three slots of hubris, which is the fantasy equivalent of showing up to a potluck with store-bought cookies and calling it homemade — but fine, fine, a B holds. The steal of the class is your 4.05: consensus had this kid going in the early thirties and Collin snatched him at 41 like he found a twenty in an old coat, which is honestly the only financially sound decision Brady's Out has made since renaming itself in grief. Your 2.05 is a quiet gem too — four slots of value at a position that matters, and Roger approves, even if Collin will probably spend the next six months sobbing into a Brady jersey instead of enjoying it. The 3.05 is a push, barely a miss, not worth the podium time. Overall grade: B. Serviceable, mildly exciting, deeply on-brand for a man whose entire franchise identity is structured around mourning.

Ladies and gentlemen, the league office has completed its formal review of the Brady's Out 2023 rookie class — and Roger will admit, albeit reluctantly, that Collin Akers did not completely embarrass himself or the shield. The 2.02 pick is the crown jewel here, a B+ composite that frankly outperformed what the room thought it was worth at draft time, which is the kind of development that makes a dynasty owner feel very smart at Thanksgiving dinner. The 3.05 was the weak link — a B that got there mostly on potential rather than production, the draft equivalent of ordering the salmon at a steakhouse and convincing yourself it was fine. The the rest of the class held steady, which is more than Roger can say for Collin's decision to name this team "Brady's Out" like it's a cry for help. A B overall is a solid draft — not a championship draft, but then again, Brady's Out has never quite sniffed that either, so perhaps the symmetry is fitting.
