Team 4 did ok. 8 and 11 aren't terrible. 5 and 12 seem to be auto-drafted which makes them better than the rest of the remaining teams imo.

Just in case it wasn't obvious - the "clowns" include: Tyler L at 2.11, Jimmy Graham in the 3rd, and a lot of the early kickers. Freeman over AB is meh. As much as people (correctly) rag on others for drafting a kicker in round 10, the mistake of taking Lockett or Jimmy Graham so early is way worse of a mistake than Mason Crosby in round 10.
Teams that I think are ok/decent: 4, 12, 8, 9

That said, the draft board looks like most of the league was auto-drafting?

That format devalues wrs about as much as you can, and again shows why any league not starting 3 wrs is stupid with how deep the position is.
'Few clowns' was tongue in cheek, it's a league made up of my cousins. Some of them are just bad and a few of them started auto-drafting once Game of Thrones started.
I was Team #1. Had the same thoughts as Malice's Attorney coming into the draft regarding QB being more important and WR being less important than usual. This was my first draft and the most casual league, so I only really did 10 minutes of prep and ended up going for some FPS'y picks.
2/3: Considered Zeke/Rodgers/Gronk. I regret not taking Gronk, but felt it was alright to take Rodgers given format.
4/5: Considered Reed/ARob/Hunt/Davante/Diggs/CJA. Just went with preference. In hindsight not taking Hunt seems pretty bad.
6/7: Considered Sammy/Martin/Desean. Decided I needed the 3rd RB for sure and that Sammy is healthy and in a contract season, so why not gamble.
8/9: Obviously it's bad to take a 2nd QB in the 8th round (esp when you have Aaron Rodgers). Took Cam because of format and potential trade value, thinking I'd be able to exploit people easily if Cam looks good and when one of the teams inevitably need a QB. Probably should have taken a RB to go along with Garcon instead. In hindsight I probably would have chose Frank Gore for stability given Zeke/Martin situations.
10/11: Felt Rawls/Hogan were fine and good depth and value. Probably could/should've taken Maclin over Hogan and Riddick over Rawls?
12/13: Quizz to cover for Zeke/Martin and Corey Davis as a last bench spot gamble.
