I want to tell you the story of two drafts I participated in this weekend...I'm going to limit myself to these two leagues and comment on my performance. I am somewhat surprised by the results...
First of all, you must take some time to rank your players in any online draft...computer problems do happen even during a draft, and if your list isn't done right, the autodraft can a wacky pick - In one draft, D McNabb went #1 in 3rd round to someone who's computer crashed and while rebooting made a pick (They weren't happy), another team on autopick - NE Defense pick #4 in 3rd, no RB for this team until 4th round and Rudi Johnson in the 9th round....
The first was an online draft early Saturday morning - I picked 10th overall in a 10 team league. My general draft strategy is go RB-RB-WR-WR and then go from there, but I will change if need be...Got RBs Marion Barber & Marshawn Lynch with the first two picks and then waited. By the time I came up again, 5 QB's were gone and I wanted to get Carson Palmer so I had to grab him and grabbed RB Reggie Bush with my other pick...the problem now - no WRs...that's going to hurt...what do I do in the 5th & 6th rounds - RB LenDale White & TE Kellen Winslow. Let me explain here, I use a program for my drafts and it advises me on my picks and it was guiding me away from WRs. Grabbed WR Dwayne Bowe and TE Chris Cooley (Good for me in past) next...spent the rest of the draft catching up on WRs - did get value with some WRs...got a decent team here, I hope...
QB - Palmer & V. Young
RB - Barber, Lynch, Bush, White, Morris
WR - Bowe, Chambers, Galloway, D. Mason, K. Walter
TE - Winslow & Cooley
K - Kaeding
DEF - J-ville
One note if you still haven't drafted - you really only need one kicker and one defense - you can pick up one on your bye week. Also, leave them until the end of the draft - they were my last two picks....
I'll talk about my other draft in the next installment...
