Here's some interesting info on the draft history of 9 of the 10 owners in our league (Mayra's new, so has no draft history)
Pick #1-Mike (Richard Head)
Previous Draft Spots-7 in 2010
6 in 2011
# of Drafted Players who stayed on Mike's Team
5 in 2010 (out of 15)
4 in 2011 (out of 15)
Previous 1st Round picks
2010-Andre Johnson
2011-Michael Turner
# of Playoff Appearances-0
Mike has never picked in even the top 5 before this season. Not only will this be his 1st time but he also gets the coveted #1 pick. Mike tends to turnover his roster a lot, as out of the 30 players he's drafted all time, only 9 have remained on the team throughout the entire season. He traded his 1st round pick to me in 2010, and Michael Turner was a head scratcher of a pick at #6 last season. With having a top 3 pick being a huge premium this year, this might be Mike's best shot at a playoff appearance.
Pick #2-Leland (The_Twin_Killers)
Previous Draft Spots-4 in 2011
# of Drafted Players who stayed on Leland's Team
6 in 2011 (out of 15)
Previous 1st Round Picks
2011-Ray Rice
# of Playoff Appearances-1
Leland stole Ray Rice at #4 but ultimately traded him in a two for one with me. Leland would also trade away his 2nd pick to me as well. Leland drafted excellent picking Matthew Stafford in the 7th round and Rob Gronkowski in the 13th round. Leland definitely knows how to draft, and combine that with owning the #2 overall pick and The_Twin_Killers will definitely be a team to be reckoned with.
Pick #3-Matt (Dr. Wily's Robots)
Previous Draft Spots-3 in 2010
1 in 2011
# of Drafted Players who stayed on Matt's Team
6 in 2010 (out of 15)
11 in 2011 (out of 15)
Previous 1st Round Picks
2010-Maurice Jones Drew
2011-Adrian Peterson
# of Playoff Appearances-1
Matt is king of the Auto-Drafts, as he has yet to show up and draft his own team. The biggest reason that it hasn't been as bad as it could be is that Matt has never had to draft outside the top 3, therefore he'll always start the season with a top 3 fantasy football player. He'll do that again this season. Usually auto-draft teams mean that the person doesn't check their team and basically is a lame duck team, but Matt still makes trades and moves throughout the season. He kept his team pretty much in tact last year and if he dropped guys it's because of season ending injuries (Fred Jackson, Kenny Britt). He had a pretty deep last year but injuries really thinned it out and led to a 9th place finish. If Matt doesn't show up again, he'll still get a coveted player, but this is one draft I wouldn't want to have on auto-pick.
I'll do picks 4-6 later on the week.
