"Even now, after all these years of playing fantasy sports, I still do this before most big drafts -- I look at where I'm picking in the draft and decide who, among those likely to be there, I'll take first. And then I look at where my next picks are and compare that to the player rankings, to see who I want most among players in the right range for me to take."
"Most of the people in your leagues aren't going to go into the draft with much of a plan, and just hope for the best. So, if you step into the draft with an idea about what the talent looks like at different parts of the draft, it will give you a leg up on the competition right from the opening tip."
Determine ideal selections based on draft position and expected availability before the draft begins. Run mock drafts to anticipate where players, including sleepers, will be taken and to gauge realistic pick ranges. Use draft-slot awareness to identify early-round value swings and prioritize targets accordingly. Compare upcoming picks to player rankings to choose the best fits for each range. Enter drafts with a clear plan rather than relying on luck. Preparation and anticipating draft flow provide a competitive advantage and help maximize overall roster value as selections unfold.
