Unowned players at the time of the draft are waiver wire quality and usually nothing great. It’s usually better to draft a bunch of rookies and hope you hit big on one. I’d say on average people go into the draft with like 4.5 draft picks. ---

> [@Overly\_Sentimental](#): > > If the caliber of the general player pool about equivalent to what’s left? I’m not too excited about anybody else. After reviewing where you are now as detailed below, I’d say that right now your available pool of picks is about as exciting as you find in the 3rd round of the main draft. By the 5th and 6th rounds, the main question starts becoming “Is this player actually on an NFL roster right now? If so, is he going to survive the final cuts to 53?” Here’s an update of where you guys are now: 01.1 Overly - Antonio Brown, WR, Pit (9) 01.2 Gaffer - Odell Beckham Jr., WR, NYG (6) 02.1 Gaffer - Alvin Kamara, RB, NO (8) 02.2 Overly - Davante Adams, WR, GB (13) 03.1 Overly - Deshaun Watson, QB, Hou (26) 03.2 Gaffer - Zach Ertz, TE, Phi (43) 04.1 Gaffer - LeSean McCoy, RB, Buf (36) 04.2 Overly - Sammy Watkins, WR, KC (47) 05.1 Overly - Jacksonville, DEF, Jax 05.2 Gaffer - Michael Crabtree, WR, Bal (97) 06.1 Gaffer - Rex Burkhead, RB, NE (190) 06.2 Overly - Jared Goff, QB, LAR (66) 07.1 Overly - DeVante Parker, WR, Mia (79) 07.2 Gaffer - Cam Newton, QB, Car (71) 08.1 Gaffer - Greg Olsen, TE, Car (106) 08.2 Overly - Duke Johnson Jr., RB, Cle (98) 09.1 Overly - C.J. Anderson, RB, Car (133) 09.2 Gaffer - Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Den (118) 10.1 Gaffer - Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Buf (126) 10.2 Overly - Randall Cobb, WR, GB (107) 11.1 Overly - Giovani Bernard, RB, Cin (169) 11.2 Gaffer - Robby Anderson, WR, NYJ (104) 12.1 Gaffer - Theo Riddick, RB, Det 12.2 Overly - Josh Doctson, WR, Was (72) 13.1 Overly - C.J. Prosise, RB, Sea 13.2 Gaffer - Matthew Stafford, QB, Det (96) 14.1 Gaffer - Allen Hurns, WR, Dal (139) 14.2 Overly - John Ross, WR, Cin (148) 15.1 Overly - Baltimore, DEF, Bal 15.2 Overly - 16.1 Gaffer - 16.2 Overly - 17.1 Overly - 17.2 Gaffer - 18.1 Gaffer - 18.2 Overly - 19.1 Overly - 19.2 Gaffer - 20.1 Gaffer - 20.2 Overly - Quarterbacks Carson Palmer, QB, Arz Tyrod Taylor, QB, Cle Running Backs Javorius Allen, RB, Bal Darren McFadden , RB, Dal Rod Smith, RB, Dal Jonathan Stewart, RB, NYG Danny Woodhead, RB, Bal Wide Receivers Paul Richardson Jr., WR, Was (176) Corey Coleman, WR, Cle (193) Malcolm Brown, WR, LAR Malcolm Mitchell, WR, NE Taywan Taylor, WR, Ten Tyrell Williams, WR, LAC Tight Ends Charles Clay, TE, Buf Ed Dickson, TE, Sea Coby Fleener, TE, NO A.J. Derby, TE, Mia Defense / Special Teams New England, DEF, NE Tampa Bay, DEF, TB Carolina, DEF, Car Kickers Stephen Gostkowski, K, NE (194) Kai Forbat, K, Min Giorgio Tavecchio, K, Oak I would definitely try to get at least 18 guys on your roster before stopping, and taking 20 wouldn’t be a bad idea. From my perspective, I see at least 7 guys left in the remaining pool that are definitely worth taking in this new owner draft, no question. ---

For ease of analysis, here are your individual rosters by position: **Overly Sentimental** 03.1 Overly - Deshaun Watson, QB, Hou (26) 06.2 Overly - Jared Goff, QB, LAR (66) 08.2 Overly - Duke Johnson Jr., RB, Cle (98) 09.1 Overly - C.J. Anderson, RB, Car (133) 11.1 Overly - Giovani Bernard, RB, Cin (169) 13.1 Overly - C.J. Prosise, RB, Sea 01.1 Overly - Antonio Brown, WR, Pit (9) 02.2 Overly - Davante Adams, WR, GB (13) 04.2 Overly - Sammy Watkins, WR, KC (47) 12.2 Overly - Josh Doctson, WR, Was (72) \<=== Nice value! 07.1 Overly - DeVante Parker, WR, Mia (79) 10.2 Overly - Randall Cobb, WR, GB (107) 14.2 Overly - John Ross, WR, Cin (148) 05.1 Overly - Jacksonville, DEF, Jax 15.1 Overly - Baltimore, DEF, Bal **Ol’Gaffer** 07.2 Gaffer - Cam Newton, QB, Car (71) 13.2 Gaffer - Matthew Stafford, QB, Det (96) 02.1 Gaffer - Alvin Kamara, RB, NO (8) 04.1 Gaffer - LeSean McCoy, RB, Buf (36) 06.1 Gaffer - Rex Burkhead, RB, NE (190) 12.1 Gaffer - Theo Riddick, RB, Det 01.2 Gaffer - Odell Beckham Jr., WR, NYG (6) 05.2 Gaffer - Michael Crabtree, WR, Bal (97) 09.2 Gaffer - Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Den (118) 11.2 Gaffer - Robby Anderson, WR, NYJ (104) 10.1 Gaffer - Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Buf (126) 14.1 Gaffer - Allen Hurns, WR, Dal (139) 03.2 Gaffer - Zach Ertz, TE, Phi (43) 08.1 Gaffer - Greg Olsen, TE, Car (106) And from this angle, you’ll both want to enter the main draft with a bare minimum of: [ul][li]2 QBs[/li][li]4 RBs[/li][li]5 WRs[/li][li]2 TEs[/li][li]2 DEFs[/li][li]1 K[/ul][/li]So there are still some holes left to plug. ---

Thanks for the analysis of this guys. I can already say I’ll be looking to trade wr depth for breathing rbs… Though I’m sure I’m not the only one. ---

Minor correction: In the above list, pick 15.2 is actually Gaffer, not Overly as listed. Otherwise it appears to be correct. If it were me – keeping in mind that I’m not good – I’d probably take two DEFs with Gaffer’s next two picks (currently on the clock) and two TEs with Overly’s next two picks just to fill out the rosters. And of course Gostkowstki is starting to look super appealing right about now. DEFs are rough because there are only 32, making them a bit of a precious commodity. With 12 owners that’s a minimum of 24 taken, but several owners carry three DEFs and some (like me) carry four. (More evidence of why I suck at this.) If you end up with 2, and both have the same bye week, you’re forced to pick through the dregs in the FA pool just to have someone to start. But even aside from that, having at least two lets you play matchups week to week, which helps a lot. Kickers are in a similar position to DEFs, but less so because at least kickers change. (DEFs never change.) I like carrying two kickers mainly so that I have an easy drop if I need to make temporary room on my roster to deal with byes. In hindsight, I think the ABBAABB… format was a good choice. Not just to speed things up, since that’s been a total non-issue once things got going, but to alleviate tedium. If you guys were picking 1 at a time I think it would have been much more annoying for you. EDIT: For context on how the main draft goes, picture this year’s NFL draft. Remove all the defensive players and offensive lineman. Now take away the best 24 QBs, RBs, WRs, and TEs. The slim pickings you’re left with is what the player pool looks like at the start of round 3. You can also draft non-rookies, but the concept doesn’t change. ---

Oh yeah, don’t forget that you’re also drafting your draft position, though they’re both essentially equal value. I’m thinking the first person who drops out will finish by selecting their choice of draft picks, leaving the other set for the other guy. Your choices are: 1.09, 2.09, 3.09, 4.09, 5.09… 1.12, 2.06, 2.12, 4.12, 5.12… (two 2nds, no 3rd) If one seems much better than the other to you, there’s no shame in choosing your draft picks before you finish selecting players. For context, by 2.06 in the main draft you might already be looking at guys who will do nothing this year but _might_ be good next year or the year after. By round 3 that’s definitely what you’re looking at, and by round 4 you’re wondering why you decided to draft more than 3 guys. ---

Thank you for the analysis gentlemen, this is an interesting format and one that I suppose takes a little time to get used to. Clarification for - Is Carson Palmer available? He was not on the list of QBs originally posted (Newton, Watson, Goff, Stafford, Taylor). 1. Gostkowski 2. Carolina ---

Palmer retired and I think it’s unlikely he pulls a Cutler. ---

Hamlet and Overly Sentimental - I sent you invites to the new league but they haven’t been taken yet. Are you having issues joining the new league?

The cut deadline is going to be tomorrow night at 11:59pm, so get those cuts in. The draft will start on Sunday. Remember that you might’ve had players on IR at the end of the year, so your number of cuts may not be your number of draft picks. Your draft picks are always the number of empty slots below 25. ---
