Maye, Dak, AR

Saquon, Mixon, Conner, Harvey, Brashard Smith, Mullings

Tee, Wilson, Tet, Burden, Shaheed, Pittman, Coker, Savion

Ferguson, Henry, Fannin

Not sure how to feel about this one

Baker, Tua, Rodgers

CMC, Walker, Skattebo, Ray Davis, Harvey, Brashard Smith

Nabers, MHJ, Evans, Waddle, Pearsall,Pittman, Ayomanor, Savion

Kincaid, Otton, Arroyo

It seems the community has wised up and is going with 3 QB's this year.

We way over did the week 17 game stacks last year as well. I will not be forcing it like we did last year.

I'm getting into the NFL draft but I just can't get myself to do a best ball draft yet. I don't know how you guy's do it.

I'll be posting my lessons learned shortly.

3 QBs was always the standard for 20 rd drafts fwiw

I like this team and think the QB investment is fine for 20 rounds. Probably stick with Maye/Dak in 18 rounds. You're well balanced everywhere and just need the TEs to come through.

I think it's good. Like the one above, need the TEs to come through. But if CMC is CMC, then you're in good shape.

Week 17 correlation is meant to be a tiebreaker and not something you force. Some drafters put too much stock into it, and I have been guilty of it too at times, but it really should be secondary to other fundamentals.

If you want to not have to think about week 17 correlation, the predraft contests are great for you haha. Although, some drafters still try to edge it by correlating divisions hoping for week 17 matchups.

As far as the 3 QBs, as jimmy posted, it's pretty standard in 20 rounds. It's the 18 round drafts that make it a tough balance. My goal is still to keep QB/TE to 4/5 players total in 18 rounds. I'll do 3 each, if my first taken for both positions is somewhere in the 9th/10th rounds or later.

There is also so much more uncertainty right now, especially at QB, than there will be by this summer. 3 QBs can be an advance rate play, but it can still put you at a disadvantage in the playoffs, especially if you're regularly doing it unstacked. You can't be afraid of variance and uncertainty when first place is 10-15% of the prize pool.

That makes sense. I did mostly UD drafts last year.

Grabbing a third starter late still makes sense to me. Most of these picks outside of QB won't work out anyway. I like having depth and a third guy who can make my lineup when the other two suck.

Just built something with similar investment.

Caleb, Tua, AR

Gibbs, BRob, Neal, Roschon, DJ Giddens, Damien Martinez, Bhayshul Tuten

Reek, Tee, Odunze, Reed, Aiyuk, Downs, Jayden Higgins, Tez Johnson

Kittle, Kmet

Another roster construction conundrum. I think I could have done any of 3-6-8-3, 3-7-8-2, or 3-7-7-3. I guess it's nice to have luxury picks. I felt like Kittle/Kmet were strong enough to stick with 2 rather than chasing a late round dart throw.

My exception to the 3 QB rule will be if I take two QB's fairly early. Even then I may still go three. The playoffs seem kind of crapshooty too me. I'd prefer to get there and then hope for the best. Winning first is probably not gonna happen. If it does happen it will require some crazy luck. The last two years were pretty nutty. It just makes more sense to have a bunch of teams advance and hope to get lucky than constructing teams in the hopes of winning it all. My gut told me 3 QB's was the way last year but I didn't follow my gut. This year I am following my gut 100%.

I was definitely guilty of forcing in way too much week 17 correlation last season. I'll still take it, but it'll be more as a tiebreaker like heels said.

My main thing is going to be focused on taking stands on fades, and not trying to get exposure to players "just in case."

I will be getting at least 7% of players going in the first 3 rounds. last year I soft faded Barkley 3% and Henry 3% and paid the price. I will continue to fade players in later rounds if I feel strongly about it. Luke Musgrave and Zamir White were two I can think of. I had 1% of each. Each year there are free squares of players who should be faded. I had zero Olave, Adams, and Aiyuk in the early second. I will also force feed myself players I typically pass on but still like. Josh Jacobs and Joe Mixon were two guys I liked but I liked other players around them.

I remember all of us were patting each other on the back when we posted a team that had a bunch of week 17 correlation. Last year was the first time I did mass entry best ball so I followed the herd. I never felt great about it.
