MCM Saturday Fantasy Football Question

by Jimmy on Jul 23, 2011 12:01 PM CDT in Fantasy Football

I am in a 10 team fantasy football league where we get to pick where we draft based on how we finished the year before. I am not exactly sure what determines who gets the first pick, (I should probably figure that out) but last year I picked first where I would draft. I chose the 10th pick. I like that pick because you end up with two really good players.

This year I had the third pick on where to draft. The first guy chose the first pick, and the second guy chose the 10th pick. It was a tough decision for me between 2nd and 9th. For some reason I really like being in one of those spots where you get to pick back to back. I absolutely hate being right in the middle.

Anyway, all of that is just a long and drawn out way of asking all of you where you like to pick in drafts. Let me know in the comments.

Also, we will be doing another Official MCM Fantasy Football league this year. Stay tuned for an announcement next week.

I prefer 5-7

there are only 10 players I consider as elite 1st round talent. Being in the middle gives me a very good chance of getting 2-3 of them.

2-3 or 8-9

Really helps you plan your drafts and if you want to players you can check to see for instance if the guy in front of you all ready drafted a TE and you were choosing between a TE and a WR to take the WR.

I saw a study on this about a year ago but can't find it now

It basically correlated teams by where they picked and how succesful their teams were throughout the season. The results showed that the closer you pick to the front, the more likely you are to win your league. Though the statistics were not overwhelming. I would definitely take the 2nd pick. If it is a complete redraft (no keepers), you can get either CJ or AP there. In a 10 team league, you will have 3 of the first 22 picks.

I like being either in the front or at then end.

I picked 9th in a 20 team league its tough. The 1st round is ok cause your going to get someone, its the 2nd round where you just have to wait and see who falls to you and hope you can get a steal. I had Ray Rice and in the 2nd I took jay Culter when I could have taken Matt Forte and waited for the next round on a QB. But it was a keeper league.
