Am I learning anything from these mock drafts?

More importantly.. are you?

We all have different strategies. We all have teams and players we like. Some people mistakenly draft players from teams they are a fan of. Maybe they came from your college team or you could just have a hunch. (These are both no-no's)

Do you play in a 8 team league or 10 to 12? Do you play PPR or Standard? That would be Points Per Reception. Now, I don't play PPR. I like the Standard League format. I'm old school. I like the QB to earn 6 points for a touchdown not 4. However, I do like a flex option of RB/WR to be available so you can either play a 4th WR or a 3rd RB. These mock drafts don't take that into a account. They are 10 man leagues with only 15 players drafted. The talent will pool up towards the end more often than a 12 man league. Obviously.   

Maybe, I'm really not trying to convince you of anything. Maybe it's me. I need to reinforce my own approach to the draft. Bc we ALL have knee jerk reactions. We have bias. And sometimes we fall back on these crutches when we are confronted with a situation we are uninformed or confused about. So, STUDY hard guys. If you really care about your final draft before the season starts you need to KNOW about these players. Especially if you have a money pool. You want to win. You can't just be a fan of one team. You need to know when to draft Adrian Peterson early even if you are a die hard Packers fan. (Or even Lions fan like me.)

LEARN THE RULES! And if it all possible know who you are drafting with. It can be a game changer. This is important. How many points are these guys earning? For example I know that on nfl.com defense and special teams are not rewarded as much as yahoo leagues. This changes their value and their draft position. Speaking of learn from a few different angles. Because! I think everyone shouldn't know the draft order until right before the draft begins. I think 5-10 minutes before the draft begins is a way to even the playing field. Draw out of a hat or do something.

So, another mock draft? You know it's coming! This time I went with 12 man league.
