2016 NFFC Early Draft Results

[Greg Ambrosius]

The NFFC Drafting Season started in April this year as we kicked off our NFFC Draft Champions Leagues before the NFL Draft. The grand prize in the NFFC Draft Champions National Championship this year is $20,000 as we expect another record season for that contest. The best way to whet your appetites for these leagues is to show early draft results, so that's what we'll do here.

We won't show any team names for any of these drafts, but from here through the end of August we'll post draft results of our online leagues. We'll only show the first 6 rounds, but once you sign up for a 2016 NFFC team you'll have access to the Average Draft Position lists. Those will start generating results once we have at least five finished leagues in any of the contests. Enjoy the ADPs because they are a good road map to get your draft planning started.

Okay, let's get things rolling. Here's a look at one of the first DCs of the season:

Placeholder RB1 at 3.1 ??? Passing on Charles, Ingram, etc.. for (i'm assuming) Elliott who we don't know where he's going to be, not to mention the track record of Big10 RB's in the NFL (save Le'Veon and Eddie George).

Agreed.... Watch him end up in Cleveland haha. In Philly or Dallas this would have been warranted IMO.

Elliott is going to be a bust

I am liking Ingram in the 3rd round. He had 50 receptions in 12 games.. If he can stay healthy, there isnt much competition for him on the Saints and in my mind, he has the most upside of the 3/4 round RB's. Charles as well, although there is obvious injury concerns with him too. Elliott being picked prior to either of these two seems crazy, but who knows.

[bald is beautiful]

Elliott is going to be a bust

It's too early in the year to try and successfully mislead people, Nelson.

HAHA..... That's one thing I have never done. I can guarantee you he will not be on any of my teams this year, unless he drops in a random draft. As the hype builds, Elliott will end up as a late 1st/2nd Rd pick. Not worth it IMO

[BigBlueNation]

I think most know I'm not on the Elliott freight train that keeps building up steam, but he's in as good a situation he could ask for with Dallas. I'm not high on rookie RB's, especially Big10 RB's, but this is a great opportunity for Elliott. If he fails in Dallas, just more proof in my pudding. Remember the Gordon hype last year.
