Needs Rankings (1 Viewer)

Hey FBG's,

I'm working on a Needs Matrix, matching up players needs to where they draft.

So I needed to rank positions in the order to see what need would trump another, this is how I see it,

RB1

RB2

WR1

WR2

QB1

WR3

TE1

RB3

WR4

What do you think?

This is pretty generic, obviously there are cases where WR1 trumps RB2 or TE1 trumps WR3, but your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

also, for a little background, each team has 6 keepers going into this

thanks :goodposting:

 
We will need your league rules in order to help you further.
we use standard yahoo scoring0.1 pts/rec yds0.1 pts/rush yds6 pts/td-2 pts/fmbl lst.04 pts/pass yds6 pts/pass tds-2 pts/int6 keepersand I extended the matrix out 5 rounds, then I could see where the shortages would be come draft time. This is what it looks like currently.Name Need 1 Need 2 Need 3 Need 4 Need 5Player 1 RB2 WR1 WR2 QB1 RB3Player 2 WR3 TE1 RB3 WR4 RB4Player 3 RB2 WR1 WR3 RB3 WR4Player 4 WR2 WR3 WR4 QB2 RB4Player 5 WR1 RB3 WR4 QB2 RB4Player 6 WR2 QB1 TE1 QB2 RB4Player 7 RB2 QB1 TE1 WR4 QB2Player 8 WR3 TE1 WR4 QB2 RB4Player 9 RB1 TE1 RB3 WR4 RB4Player 10 QB1 TE1 WR4 QB2 RB4 Need 1 Need 2 Need 3 Need 4 Need 5 TotalQB1 1 2 0 1 0 4QB2 0 0 0 5 1 6RB1 1 0 0 0 0 1RB2 3 0 0 0 0 3RB3 0 1 2 1 1 5RB4 0 0 0 0 7 7WR1 1 2 0 0 0 3WR2 2 0 1 0 0 3WR3 2 1 1 0 0 4WR4 0 0 4 3 1 8WR5 0 0 0 0 0 0TE1 0 4 2 0 0 6TE2 0 0 0 0 0 0
 
Have you tried using the Draft Dominator software? The need multiplier can be seen in the "Best Value Pick" window.If you are a subscriber, the premium version is out as of last week. If not, the original free version is quite handy to get your feet wet.

Northern_Keeper,

If I am understanding you correctly you're trying to determine what positions to select before the draft even starts? It's really hard to tell which positions trump others because you don't know what players will be left on the board. For instance, you can say that RB2 is more important that WR1, but what if its your turn, you have only 1 RB, and Randy Moss is on the board? Obviously in this situation WR1 would be more valuable than RB2. If you use a tier-based ranking structure you can decide which position is more important by which players are left in each tier.

Let me know if I'm off-base.

that would be a fair guess for an average draft I supposeAs others have said and as you likely already know, there's more to it but...yeah that'll work. Good luck with your matrix
