Draft Position Strategy
General Strategy
It's possible to draft a championship-winning side from any draft position. But where you draft dictates where you can get your targets and will certainly impact your strategy. Some leagues allow you to pick which position you have in the draft. If you do have that choice, the best way to look at it is either by tier or player - where is the last position in which you think you can get your targeted player/one of the top tier players? If you think there are six top tier players, the sixth spot is probably the best spot, as you are guaranteed to get one of those elite players and get a better 2nd round pick than the earlier spots. This can get tricky, however, and will change from draft to draft, as it really depends on the player talent available in any given season. Nailing your top two picks is essential.
