expect the unexpected on draft day (1 Viewer)

[theOracle]

The one indelible fact that i come away with every year is that there are ALWAYS surprises on draft day! While i am a huge fan of a "draft strategy", you need to be flexible on draft day and adjust accordingly. just when you become set on a late QB strategy, or a RB's late plan, FFB will throw you a curve-ball. It is my contention that the 8-9 spot in a 12 man draft is the hardest as it is just after the top 6 RB's (CJ, AD, MJD, Rice, Turner, Gore) and then the popular AJ @7 pick. this leaves you with the horrible decision of taking a QB in the first (bad value) of another WR or tier II RB (SJAX/DWILL/Matthews)... i guess what im getting at is the best strategy is still take the best guy. Sometimes that means taking a second qb in the 7-9th rounds because they simply have more value than the bum WR's on the board there... Value and depth are key people.

not surprising that the Oracle can foresee unexpected things happening on draft day.

He's the oracle. He already knows his team is the best. That said... when Frank Gore fell to me at 2.07 in a PPR league last weekend I quickly threw all pre-draft strategery out the window.

Fully half our league uses the FBG projections, so rather than ADP, I use the VBD spreadsheet as my "ADP rankings."

In my office league (10 team - $50) I am one of 3 who use FBG as a baselineIn my "big money" bar league (16 team - $250) I am the only one.

KEY!!!!1!BTW, for a guy touting DEPTH you might have wanted to targeted some more of it at WR. 7RB/3WR is pretty unbalanced.
