I am one those bad drafters at this point. Looking over some of my drafts and yuck.There's some surprisingly bad drafting in some of these considering we're drafting pre-training camp. I think I'm going to make another deposit.

I feel you...I've had some bad ones myself. I think the biggest mistake I see is people not drafting optimally based on where they are in the draft. It's super "trendy" in fantasy nowadays to refuse to let your draft slot influence your draft strategy, which explains some of the questionable drafting I've been seeing lately.I am one those bad drafters at this point.

He only has two with a week 9 bye but I agree with grabbing another WR or two. I think his WRs are pretty weak.WR/WR or maybe WR/RB if there is a particularly good value still on the board. You can't field three WRs in week 9 right now, with Maclin and Tate both on bye.
Mason went 8.08 in my current one. It all depends on the draft but has an ADP 7.05. Personally I still don't like Mason at 9.12 still. Bush and David Cobb are both going in the 10th and I like both of them better than Mason.I got Tre Mason at 9.12 in my current draft. Has he been falling that far? I'm not super high on him but couldnt pass him at that point
Who knows maybe Gurley doesn't live up to the hype or misses most of the year and you end up with a high volume back at the end of the 9th.Damn I tried to find his adp seemed like it was early 7th so that's why I ended up taking him
Mine is posted here. I took him 1.01, so there was an RB cliff coming at the end of the 2nd. I think I did about as well as it's possible to do in that situation. If a couple more RBs had gone, I would have been forced to grab a WR instead.Scored Gronk for the first time from the 11 spot (of all places) and grabbed Hill on way back.
How have you Gronk drafters done the next few rounds of your draft? Depending on who is there have you gone RB-RB knowing you have a WR1 in Gronk or taken the RB/WR approach?
I think he was that high because of Dynasty drafts then the MFL10s had people timing out at the 1.01 pick and auto drafted him.As far as falling players go, I just saw Beckham get picked at 2.3! Wow...
I actually like taking Gronk at 1.01 better. Just because I like the RBs at the 2/3 more. By that 3/4 turn it's pretty thin and you kind of have to hope someone falls. Plus, from the 1.01 spot you can still end up with a pretty good WR combo at the 4/5 turn.BroadwayG said:Usually I draft Gronk late like that and I'll roll off RB/RB/RB knowing that the 5/6 turn is prime WR territory with DJax, Maclin, Landry, Bryant, Robinson typically hanging around there.Scored Gronk for the first time from the 11 spot (of all places) and grabbed Hill on way back.

What have you found for disaster recipes? Honest question.BroadwayG said:If there's one thing I learned studying these things it's that there's no one recipe for success, but there are definite recipes for disaster.
I did one of those about a month and a half ago. The TEs fell like this:Kwai Chang Caine said:Not to hi-jack this (but since we are talking about Gronk) but I've been doing several best balls and now I added one FFPC slow draft classic. If any if you are doing those types--how high does Gronk go there getting the 1.5 per reception? I imagine he will go earlier than in MFL. What strategy the ?
Anyway, great discussion guys!
Crazy, Spiller has been going late 2nd/early 3rd and Evans mid 2nd in the MFL10's. Heck Gurley & Watkins go in the 4th. You got crazy value.Just finished this 10 team draft. Draftmaster style from rtsports. Same concept as an MFL10, except they're $20, typically 10 teams and dual flex. Anyways, drafted from the 9 spot. Here's me:
1.9 C.J. Anderson, DEN
2.2 DeMarco Murray, PHI
3.9 C.J. Spiller, NO
4.2 Mike Evans, TB
5.9 Todd Gurley, STL
6.2 Sammy Watkins, BUF
7.9 Zach Ertz, PHI
8.2 Vincent Jackson, TB
9.9 Tre Mason, STL
10.2 Ryan Mathews, PHI
11.9 Larry Fitzgerald, ARI
12.2 Philip Rivers, SD
13.9 DeVante Parker, MIA
14.2 Phillip Dorsett, IND
15.9 Steve Johnson, SD
16.2 Sam Bradford, PHI
17.9 Ronnie Hillman, DEN
18.2 Denver Broncos, DEF
19.9 Seattle Seahawks, PK
20.2 Minnesota Vikings, DEF
21.9 Jerrick McKinnon, MIN
22.2 Jace Amaro, NYJ
23.9 Mark Sanchez, PHI
24.2 St. Louis Rams, PK
I like the start of Gronk, Forsett and Luck in the 3rd, though not a fan of Keenan Allen as a WR1. I would have like AJ better at that spot. I'd try this if Luck were there in the 3rd, but in the mid-2nd it seems a little too risky to me.BroadwayG said:There are 112 Gronk/Luck teams in MFL10 so far this year. Any draft slot in mind?Does anyone have an mfl10 roster where they took both luck and gronk that they can post on here?
These leagues are the most recently drafted to have the combo.

You may be right, but it also may be deliberate with people who do a lot of MFL10s. I know I try all kinds of different team makeups when I'm doing this over and over, especially since I seem to get the same or close to the same spot in the draft order.There's some surprisingly bad drafting in some of these considering we're drafting pre-training camp. I think I'm going to make another deposit.
Ben at 8 and Olsen at 6 really put you off course in my eyes. Who was left at RB in at the 6.08 pick? QBs are strange though because it all depends on the draft. They're the biggest point producers and if your league goes on a run you could be left with a 100 point deficit before the year even starts.This goes against everything I believe in but I kinda like it.
1.08 Lynch, Marshawn SEA RB
2.05 Johnson, Calvin DET WR
3.08 Evans, Mike TBB WR
4.05 Graham, Jimmy SEA TE
5.08 Edelman, Julian NEP WR
6.05 Olsen, Greg CAR TE
7.08 Vereen, Shane NYG RB
8.05 Roethlisberger, Ben PIT
9.08 Woodhead, Danny SDC
10.05 Bush, Reggie SFO RB
11.08 Williams, Terrance DAL
12.05 Bowe, Dwayne CLE WR
13.08 Crabtree, Michael OAK
14.05 Dalton, Andy CIN QB
33 rbs were off the board at 6.05. Next 3 taken were Doug Martin, Crowell and Sankey, followed by me with Vereen. Looking back over the draft, Olsen was a terrible idea, but I thought I was being super tricky by dominating TE. Could have been B. Marshall, D. Jackson, V. Jackson, Roddy... oh well. I think the Steelers O is going to be insane this year so am pretty high on Ben. My winning teams from last year each only had 1 true stud rb but had dominant tes. Tried to engineer that here but perhaps tried a bit too hard.Ben at 8 and Olsen at 6 really put you off course in my eyes. Who was left at RB in at the 6.08 pick?

Overall, not bad though. I think I'm going to try and do about the same in this current draft I'm in. One solid RB in round one then just try to basically stream RB2s by drafting lots.
Probably.27 RBs off the board in 4 rounds. I know a lot of the experts are writing you have to take RBs early to win. Is it to the point that some are over doing it and maybe this year it is take best value early and load up on RBs late? Calvin Johnson late 2nd or Lamar Miller/ CJ Spiller? Taking Gronk in first makes it so 1st RB will be in the 3rd at the earliest.
In mine, early means early. I actually like RB RB if I can get 2 T10 backs this year because everyone is spending 3rd-5th rd picks on question mark RBs who can easily lose their jobs. Use those rounds to clean up WR value that falls or go elite at QB/TE. If I don't do that, I'm avoiding this RB run in 3-6 rounds and trying my luck at the scrap heap RBs late and hoping I got vaue everywhere else.27 RBs off the board in 4 rounds.

Luck probably won't be there. He seems to be going consistently around the 2/3 turn in all the leagues I'm in. You might be able to go A-Rod though.I've got a MFL10 going. I got the 1.09, went with Lynch in round 1 and Forte in round 2. Thinking about going Luck in the third if he is still there, or perhaps another rb.

You should throw up a roster you did with no RBs from the 3rd to 6th. I like seeing how rosters turn out when people use different strategies. A lot of times going against the grain is where the value is found.cheese said:I like Gore a lot. Otherwise yes I'm out on that list. Too high of a pick for maybes. Value across the board at other positions if you get yourself stable at RB out of the gates this year.
Neither was there. I've made 4 picks so far, all rbs. Interesting to see how this shapes out. I got Lynch and Forte as already mentioned, Gore and M.Ingram.Borden said:Luck probably won't be there.

Thank you for the stats. Do you have these numbers just from your own drafts or do you have somewhere else you are getting them from?BroadwayG said:526 teams so far have went RB/RB then no third RB until at least the 7th round.

Last year the winningest rounds to draft your RB3 was round 4 (12.1%), round 3 (11.2%) round 5 (8.9%) and round 10 (8.9%)
Did they just get rid of PK this year?BroadwayG said:I get them from every MFL10 from this year and last year.Thank you for the stats. Do you have these numbers just from your own drafts or do you have somewhere else you are getting them from?
