Led by Two Steelers, Not Kyle's Team Should Have Attempted to Draft Players That are Good
Draft Summary
Despite selecting in the top half of the first round (fourth overall), Not Kyle's Team might as well have been blindly heaving darts at the draft board to decide their picks. Opponents are going to enjoy beating this team, which is projected to finish 10th in PigskinXNation League with a record of 4-10-0 (1,814 points). They went with a balanced approach early, selecting QB Ben Roethlisberger (21st overall), RB Joique Bell (52nd), WR Antonio Brown (4th), and TE Greg Olsen (28th) within the first five rounds. They put together the bottom group of RBs in the league, as they added Bell, Shane Vereen, Ryan Mathews, and Matt Asiata.

Looking at the season as a whole, they have a harder-than-average slate. Along with the sixth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for Not Kyle's Team.
