So, we are down to the last few days before the season starts and our drafts are piling on top of each other like a bad romance novel. Here at Razzball we are all about laziness. I just spent the last 4 hours watching Zach Galifianakis clips! So we know that you may be busy at your local soup kitchen or more likely drinking vodka like it is soup (check the clip just back there a ways), and you just don’t have time to figure out who you should draft when and where and for how long, so here is a little something to help you out.
I used this to draft a team that doesn’t suck and I think you could too. I’ve put some guys in here that I am targeting. What we want you to get out of this is not the exact picks for the exact slots, but to give you an idea of where players are going and what positions you might want to grab before all you have left is Andrew Walter and a sixer of Shmirnoff Ice, and also just to get you thinking ahead a little teeny tiny bit.
This is not the end all and be all to draft prep, but in a pinch it can help. Here are the draft slots in a 12 team league. I’m no Good Will Hunting so don’t try to over analyze this. I just want you to know where you are drafting and try to get a larger perspective.
