Would it be possible, when talking about drafting players, to speak in terms of where he was drafted among his peers rather than the round you obtained him?
For example: "I acquired Drake London as the 16th WR off the board (WR16)."
Rather than: "I acquired Drake London in the third round." or "I acquired Drake London at 3.04."
I understand that for people who play in the large national FFPCBTQ+ leagues the latter may offer some value, but for the majority of us playing in individual leagues it offers almost nothing useful.
Using the London example:
How many teams in the league? How many WRs are you allowed to start? Is it PPR? 1/2 PPR? Are TEs a separate position? Super-flex? Etc.
Speaking in terms of where a player is taken amongst his peers is translatable to almost any league format. It does break down a bit in leagues that combine WRs & TEs but let's lot let the perfect interfere with the good.
When you tell me London was taken as the WR16, I immediately have a context of where he could be drafted in my specific league.
This has bugged me on this board for...holy crow, literally decades. Wow, thinking of it that way makes me realize... You're getting kinda old @Joe Bryant
Thanks for your consideration. I'll hobble off to my grumpy old man corner now.
