Draft Day Strategies

Preparation begins weeks before selection time through consistent mock draft participation, studying expert rankings, and monitoring Average Draft Position (ADP) data. These practices build familiarity with player valuation patterns and typical draft flows.

Value-based drafting calculates relative worth above replacement-level players at each position, maximizing roster efficiency. Best-player-available approaches ignore positional considerations to accumulate raw talent, addressing balance later through trades.

Positional scarcity demands careful consideration of supply/demand dynamics. Quarterback-heavy drafting strategies typically fail because high-quality options remain available in later rounds. Conversely, premier running backs deserve premium consideration due to rapid talent drop-off and injury susceptibility creating position-wide volatility.
