Draft Position

Postby tfal117 » Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:16 pm

Need Help selecting what draft position to take. I have the choices of 9th thru 12th. What should I do?

It is mostly based on personal preference. Most will probably go with 12th. You get back to back picks, you don't leave yourself open to having a pick get taken by an 11 or 12 guy, if you select the 9 or 10 spot.

If you do select the 9 or 10, you can still get in on some of the runs(if you get caught up in that). At the 12 spot, if a run starts you need to be the one starting it or you will most likely lose out.

i kind of like the 10 spot because you get picks that are pretty closely bunched (only 4 apart) but you also get a shot at a legitimate stud RB, especially if people reach for fitz/moss/AJ. and then there's usually a top5 WR still left @15, or a low-end RB1 like portis or jacobs. you can get a nice foundation to start and have closely-grouped picks throughout the rest of the draft.

I personally like the turns. Always feel like you can start a run or end a run and change the course of the draft. 10 isn't bad this year if you like Portis, seems to be the 10th guy in a non PPR pro league.

Take 9 if your fellow members are a little slow. Get as close as you can to someone slipping. I have seen LT drop to 9 but it is rare.
