Outaker S4 Mock Draft 1.0

It’s that time of year again for some mock drafts! There will be multiple different mock drafts made by other members on the media team as well as revisions to my mock draft (depending on more sign ups). I plan on doing a media team mock draft live on stream sometime soon. 

I honestly based my draft observation on a few factors; how they played last season, friends with the owner, or ex-teammates where owners feel comfortable drafting them. 

Disclaimer: Don’t forget this is a snake draft. Its different compared to previous seasons. I had no idea what the hell I was doing after pick 50. I didn’t play with a lot of people last season to really give a good analyze on but hey, that’s why I have myself surrounded by a great group of guys on the media team 🙂 enjoy!!

The Running Game – is it Improving?

Similar to the previous article, but focusing on the running game. In season 2, it was a solid season for running backs as offenses were still figuring out their schemes and utilizing the RB more. During Season 3, passing records were shattered while little to no rushing records were accomplished. 

As Season 3 concludes, let us take a look at the data between both seasons and determine if the running game in the league are improving.

Almost 200 fewer carries. 3 less rushing touchdowns. Keep in mind, there were 144 games in season 2 vs 180 games in season 3. 

Increase of fumbles but very similar. 

YPC is similar but a very slight decrease in Season 3.

24 yards less per game.

There was a 1k rusher and 4 800+ yard rushers in Season 2 vs only 1 800+ rusher in season 3.

Nothing improved in the run game. Every statistic took a decline. I think it has to do with a mixture of offenses becoming more pass-happy as well as defenses getting better at stopping the run. I was honestly thinking rushing stats would’ve increased since we introduced the titans this season along with other run heavy teams like the Browns and Ravens. 

 

Season 4 Predictions

I think rushing statistics will continue to decline with the league being a pass first league. I could be wrong but I don’t see it. If anything, running backs will continue to thrive in the receiving game.

The Quarterback Position – is it Improving?

As season 4 quickly approaches, I want to take some time to reflect on the most important position in the league; The Quarterback. During seasons 1 & 2, there were talks about the league having too few skilled QBs in the league. In Season 3, staff took out Gunslinger QBs to make offenses less effective (70% comp rate in season 2). This received mixed reviews since a lot of opinions around the league thought the QB position was already difficult as is. Despite the 70% comp rate, the league’s QB was throwing more INTs to TDs (246 to 296). 

As Season 3 concludes, let us take a look at the data between both seasons and determine if the QBs in the league are improving.

This may be a shocker to some, but in Season 3, almost every category improved compared to Season 2. 

The Pass % declined by less than 1% which isn’t too dramatic. 

An increase of Passing yards per completion. 

the TD to INT ratio increased greatly. 

The passing yards per game did decline but keep in mind the gentlemen’s code was enforced this season to prevent stat padding. 

Passing TDs per game increased while the Pass INTs per game decreased. 

Lastly, the QBR made a huge improvement. 

It’s safe to say that the QBs in this league are becoming more efficient at running their offenses. From my own experience, I figured there was an improvement since my contributions on defense became less effective (or I just suck lol). 

 

Season 4 Predictions

I’ll keep it short; Offenses will continue to improve compared to Season 3. Why? Well, Gunslinger is back boys!!! Gunslinger was out in Season 3 and look how improved offenses became when Gunslinger was a thing in Season 2.

Season 3 Madden Ratings

Hey everyone, I wanted to take a unique approach to an article that a lot of you may find interesting. In this article, we are putting overall ratings on players based on how they did in Season 3. Now a lot is to be considered when handing out the overalls. The whole system is backed by players’ statistics for the season. I will break down the criteria. 

Foremost, I used my formula from season 2 that helped me with awards. But I did tweak the point values slightly to balance the points scored on defense and offense. I essentially put everyone’s stats in an excel file and multiplied a stat by the point value I associated with. Below is the point value system I used.

Once the calculation is made, a total point value (TPV) is determined to players starting overall. 

The TPV of all players in season 3 ranged from 0 to 476. However, I set a minimum cut-off at 45 TPV. 

Next, to determine a player starting overall, I used the criteria below:

TPV

Superbowl III – Offensive Player Spotlight

Congratulations on the Chiefs and Ravens making it to the Super bowl. Both teams have played great in both the regular season and playoffs. I’m going to spend time on this article highlighting the 9 starters from each team and how they played this season. Without further ado, lets get right into it. 

 

Quarterbacks

Chiefs

Ravens

AbyssZl – Coming off an MVP season, Abyss is the best QB coming into the superbowl. He set multiple single season passing records while posting 38Tds 8Ints. 1st in the league in QBR (min of 100 attempts) and went 10-2 this season.

IamBeaste – With a 7-5 record, beaste has preformed well this season. Finished 6th in the league in passing yards while throwing 19TDs to 7 INTs. Don’t sleep in his ability run as he averaged 8.4 yards per carry. 

XxBig Marc – Marc joined the Chiefs via trade earlier this season but I wouldn’t sleep on him. He has the talent around him to win games. 11th in passing yards, Marc finished with 11TDs 15INTs. He finished 6-6 on the season. 

Breesuss – Finishing 4th in passing yards and posting a 28TD to 14INT campaign, Breesuss easily earned Offensive Rookie of the year. He went 9-2 this season as well as finishing top 5 in rushing stats for a QB. 

Aceboogs – With a 6-3 regular season record, Ace finished 9th in passing yards while going for 16TDs to 8INTs. Ace finished 2nd in rushing for a QB and considering his line has been mixed around multiple times this season, its impressive to have a positive win % with the stats he got this season.

xGam3xGreenx – Game had a sub-par season at QB. 10th in passing yards along with a 15TD to 15INT campaign. Only 8 games were reported which translated to a 4-4 record. However I do think he has more losses than wins which puts him at the only QB to have a negative W/L record by both teams. 

Running backs

Chiefs

Ravens

Th3 R3al3st 260 – Finished 11th in rushing yards, with 6 rushing TDs. has earned 796 yards from scrimmage which puts him as a dual threat at RB who can average 5 yards a carry and pick up those critical 3rd downs in the passing game. 9-2 record while playing RB this season.

Clutchxking215 – Finished 15th in rushing yards while completing 23 recs for 200+ yards. Clutch is on a pass heavy offense so its expected for his numbers to be lower than usual. Clutch is a solid RB and dependable when needed. 6-5 record this season at RB. 

Natecashmoney – Nate was traded from the Bengals this season and has the most rushing yards and receiving yards at RB on the Chiefs this season. Finished 5th in rushing, he surpassed 1k in total yards from scrimmage. statistically shown, I believe Nate is the most utilized and skilled RB on the Chiefs going into the Superbowl. 

ebokKtsop – The only RB from both teams that has more receiving yards than rushing. He has rushing for 300+ while also receiving for 300+. He went 8-2 this season at RB. I would consider ebok a top receiving back in the league.

Justt Smoove – Traded from the Chiefs, Smoove is looking to prove himself that the Chiefs made a mistake by getting rid of him. He averaged 7.5 yards a carry this season which is the league best for any Running back. Since being on the Ravens, he has went 4-3. Smoove has earned 555 yards from scrimmage this season. 

TLPKavious -I dont have enough data on Kavious to give a breakdown. He was replaced by Xerox in the playoffs and from my understanding, he has been reliable toward his line. 

Wide Receivers

Chiefs

Ravens

Gabe ily – The best WR from both teams. Finished second in the league in terms of receiving while not even playing WR the whole season. Traded from the Bucs, Gabes season was pretty much saved and continued to be a force in the league. Gabe went 8-4 this season at WR.

BeefyChub – Beastes brother finished 7th in receiving yards while scoring 19TDs. 7-5 was his record this season and keep in mind, he is a Rookie. I believe he was in discussion for a ROTY award so dont sleep on Beefy. 

GaabageAssassin – Another stud at WR. Earlier on in the season, he was pumping out MVP caliber stats. He made the switch to another line and was still able to put up great numbers. he finished 4th in receiving yards while scoring 24 times. 

Kuhrow – Posting a 9-2 record, Kuhrow preformed well this season. 6th in receiving yards, 4th in Receiving TDs, 5th in RAC, he is a weapon on offense. No awards this season however considering alot of WRs balled out this season. 

Outaker24 – Very similar stats to Kuhrow while posting a 7-4 record this season at WR. Has played on two different lines during the season which adds some more value to how he preformed this season.  

Kdot8932 -Kdot was traded from the 49ers earlier on this season and has been the journeyman WR on the team playing wherever he needs to play. Not enough stats to give a breakdown on Kdot.

Season 2 Top 25 Players Revisited

I decided to revisit the list to take into account a more advanced formula besides just going strictly by player votes. I took a players statistical standing from how we handled awards this season PLUS player votes. The formula is simple; Take the player placement in the players vote + their statistical placement (total from OFF and DEF) and divided by 2 which give them their final placement in the top 25 list. EX: Outaker had the 3rd highest player votes (3) and the highest statistical value (1) which places him at 2 on the top 25 list. 

The first list is the original list I shared with the league, the second list is the final placement.
