The Dog League: 2019 Draft Recap(Part 3)

Welcome to the third and final part of my breakdown of the 2019 Dog League Draft. In this part, we take a look at Bark Force and Leaping Girl, two teams that ended last year in dismal fashion. With the last two picks in the first round, will either team be able to find some much needed optimism? (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Bark Force

1st Round, 5th Overall- RB Todd Gurley
2nd Round, 8th Overall- WR DeAndre Hopkins
3rd Round, 17th Overall- WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
4th Round, 20th Overall- RB Nick Chubb
5th Round, 29th Overall- WR Stefon Diggs
6th Round, 32nd Overall- QB Patrick Mahomes
7th Round, 41st Overall- TE O.J. Howard
8th Round, 44th Overall- DEF Los Angeles Rams
9th Round, 53rd Overall- K Justin Tucker
10th Round, 56th Overall- RB Aaron Jones
11th Round, 65th Overall- WR Brandin Cooks
12th Round, 68th Overall- WR Tyler Lockett
13th Round, 77th Overall- RB Lamar Miller
14th Round, 80th Overall- TE Eric Ebron
15th Round, 89th Overall- RB Derrius Guice
16th Round, 92nd Overall- QB Carson Wentz
17th Round, 101st Overall- DEF New Orleans Saints


Summary:

Despite an extremely stacked roster, Bark Force fell apart at the end of last year, disappointingly finishing in fourth place and watching Rare Woofs make the run to the championship game they thought was theirs. This year's roster is solid, but can't compete with what they had last year. Gurley is a major question mark coming off a very confusing end to his season, and Chubb has the presence of new signing Kareem Hunt hanging over him. They do bring back Mahomes, Diggs and Smith-Schuster, trying to keep some consistency to start the season. Bark Force's bench looks very good, and includes two big wildcards in Guice and Wentz, both of whom could break-out this season coming off of injuries.




Leaping Girl

1st Round, 6th Overall- RB Melvin Gordon
2nd Round, 7th Overall- RB Le'Veon Bell
3rd Round, 18th Overall- WR Antonio Brown
4th Round, 19th Overall- WR Mike Evans
5th Round, 30th Overall- RB Devonta Freeman
6th Round, 31st Overall- TE George Kittle
7th Round, 42nd Overall- QB Russell Wilson
8th Round, 43rd Overall- DEF Chicago Bears
9th Round, 54th Overall- K Stephen Gostkowski
10th Round, 55th Overall- RB Mark Ingram
11th Round, 66th Overall- WR Chris Godwin
12th Round, 67th Overall- RB Phillip Lindsay
13th Round, 78th Overall- WR Jarvis Landry
14th Round, 79th Overall- RB Miles Sanders
15th Round, 90th Overall- TE Vance McDonald
16th Round, 91st Overall- QB Jared Goff
17th Round, 102nd Overall- DEF New England Patriots


Summary:

With three years in a row spent finishing in last place and the last pick in the Draft, Leaping Girl went for broke. She snapped up the biggest names she could find, assembling a team that would've been amazing three or four years ago. But how it works out in 2019 is anyone's guess, particularly the decision to re-unite former teammates Bell and Brown. Picking Freeman high seems like a questionable move, but Emma found good value in bringing back Kittle and Wilson. Her bench is an odd combination of proven vets like Ingram and Landry and young speedsters Godwin and Landry. Sanders is a very promising young running back, but still clearly needs development. Considering her draft position, Leaping Girl has assembled the best roster she probably could've. But will it be enough to finally get her out of last place?

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
