Prepare with Mock Drafts
Perform Mock Drafts with your friends & colleagues to find out how the
top five rounds (60 players) are going to shape up. The more Drafts you perform,
the more insight you will have going into the deeper parts of Drafts (mid-late
rounds). This is absolutely CRUCIAL, and where the importance of analyzing Mock
Drafts comes into play. That is their purpose- for you to see where certain
players are being taken, so you don’t reach or hold off too long on players
that you are targeting.
Watch How the Preseason Develops
You must keep a close eye on the Preseason games to look for players that have
developed and come out of nowhere, or players that are coming off of injuries
and are supposed to be 100% once again.
Most importantly, this is the time to watch the younger players and rookies
to see if they are worth grabbing. They are usually the players that are showcased
during the Preseason, because they must prove themselves to crack the Regular
Season lineup. The idea is to have specific players in mind that you want to
have on your team beforehand- that way you can pay special attention to them
from the get-go. This theory works for both the early and late rounds of the
Draft.
Cheat with Cheat Sheets
Lastly, rank each position from top-to-bottom by making a list of your top
QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, Ks, D/STs all on one sheet (aka Cheat Sheet). Remember to
use this in conjunction with the stats from the previous seasons (we recommend
the last 3 years). All these materials are part of our Draft Central.
Cheat Sheets are not supposed to be etched in stone. The key is to
understand the dynamics of the rankings you are using, because the Draft will
almost certainly throw a couple of curves at you, and the better you adjust
on the fly with your Cheat Sheet, the more likely you will end up drafting a
roster full of quality players- giving you solid depth.
