So I mentioned this in the Discord, but I found some interesting stats going through league history.
- 7 out of 12 times, the champion picked a RB in Round 1 - 2 out of 12 times, the champion picked a QB in Round 1 (Aaron Rodgers in 2011, Russell Wilson in 2020) - 3 out of 12 times, the champion picked a WR in Round 1 (Antonio Brown in 2015, Julio Jones in 2018, Davante Adams in 2021) - Nobody in F.A.N.tasy history has gone TE in Round 1 and won the title.
- The earliest spot to ever win a title was #3 overall, which oddly enough has happened twice....in the first two years of the league (andrew8798 in 2011, Skyloft Groosenators in 2012). Since then, the earliest pick to win the league is.....CJB last year at #5.
- In 2018, Billy Goel DID win the title from the #14 spot (2018, took Julio Jones and then opened Round 2 with Michael Thomas). So winning from the very back of the line has been done. BUT nobody has won it picking earlier than #3 (and not in over 10 years).
- 2 people have won the title taking LeSean McCoy in the 1st (The Losers in 2013, JcChasez's Thug Appeal in 2017)
- And lastly, the most common draft slot for a champion is deadlocked between 4 numbers....3, 7, 8, and 12. Each of those numbers have had two people win the title from them.
Likewise, nobody has ever won the title drafting from 1, 2, 4, 10, 11, or 13.
----------------------- And if anyone is curious, here is the League championship history:
Year - Team Name - Draft Position - Player Taken (position)
2022 – The CJB Fightin' Eagles – 5 – Austin Ekeler (RB) 2021 – Edge of Insanity – 12 – Davante Adams (WR) 2020 – Friskey Reunion – 8 – Russell Wilson (QB) 2019 – Gridiron Heights – 7 – Ezekiel Elliott (RB) 2018 – Billy Goel – 14 – Julio Jones (WR) 2017 – JCChasez's Thug Appeal – 9 – LeSean McCoy (RB) 2016 – Demented Darlings – 12 – Adrian Peterson (RB) 2015 – Rusev Crush – 6 -Antonio Brown (WR) 2014 – Skyloft Groosenators – 7 – Matt Forte (RB) 2013 – The Losers – 8 – Lesean McCoy (RB) 2012 – Skyloft Groosenators – 3 – Ray Rice (RB) 2011 – andrew8798 – 3 – Aaron Rodgers (QB)

Hmm, do Mock Drafts not grade you and give you articles anymore? I greatly enjoyed those. Did a Mock already and got an email with results but no grade/overview yet

5 in a 14 man lol feels like the middle can be pretty rough but let’s go! You'd be surprised how many people want right in that middle area. Some people like having that consistent wait between picks versus waiting 20+ picks if you're on one of the ends (even if you get two picks in short order), with people like Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-] (#1) and bob (#14) having to wait nearly 30 picks before they go again, even if they'll get two consecutive picks (CJB from even to odd, bob from odd to even). And while you get two picks close together, it can absolutely suck to see a position of need get whittled down a whole tier or two before it comes back around to you. You can pass on a QB with all but the top 3 or 4 still there, and then by the time it comes back the Top 9-10 are gone. Not saying that's what'll happen, just....that's the game you're playing. @ Gus Richlen Was Wrong was celebrating getting #11 in the Discord just because he wasn't on the edges for once (I think the last few years he's either been at/around the very front or the very back...I seem to recall one year he was near or possibly even AT #1 overall and wasn't too pleased), and Seth Drakin of Monster Crap was ecstatic to be at 7. I think you can win from any position, but being near the front makes it all the more important you hit your first pick. Heaven forbid, a CMC or JJ goes on season-ending IR in Week 3, it takes A TON to pick up those pieces. It's not impossible; I took LeVeon in his holdout year at #2 overall and still made the playoffs (I DID make sure to pick up James Conner later in the draft as insurance, BOY DID THAT PAY OFF!!!!!), but you have a hell of a hole to dig yourself out of.

My hatred of being in a top picking spot was not helped at all by Jonathan Taylor suffering both a brutal sophomore slump and injuries last year.

The Colts had to suffer through injuries, a cooked Matt Ryan, then a QB carousel of mediocrity, and Head Coach JEFF SATURDAY certainly didn't help either Really it was a perfect storm of shit, drafting any Colt feels like a dice roll this season, especially if Anthony Richardson actually starts

It was either 1 or the middle (7 or 8) and I would be happy

JT had a freak season but I was skeptical if that was a one year fluke or that was the real JT. Much more reward but way more risk to me, I played it safe and went Henry.
