Draft strategy

I've noticed that picks 7, 8, and 9 are good slots to have this year. I don't like the 1-2 turn this year because you are forced to go 2 WR or WR-TE. Taking a RB at the 1-2 turn puts you most likely at the #8 RB and then you must take and RB at 3-4 turn. At this point, you have a 2nd tier WR, a 2nd tier RB and a big drop-off at RB2 and WR2.

At picks 8-9, you at least get a top tier WR.

I can't ever get myself to pick Kelce that early. Sucks being behind the 8-ball. There's fast drop off at WR after the 3rd round.

yes sir they have been

I always take best player available first and worry about team need/fit second.

If it comes down to reaching for a second RB or nabbing a more reliable third/flex WR, I will take the WR.

Value, value, value. I feel like this is an easier approach in snake drafts, it gets tougher in Auction drafts. It doesn't always work out that well. Sometimes it pays to pay big on certain players.
