Had my fantasy draft last night and it went OK, but I made some mistakes towards the end. Got sniped on my planned picks many times, so lots of strategy changes on the fly.

QB: Josh Allen
RB: Saquon Barkley
RB: D'Andre Swift
WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR: Chris Olave
TE: George Kittle
Flex: Tee Higgins
DST: Jaguars
K: Will Reichard
Bench:
Kenny Gainwell
Chris Godwin
Stefon Diggs
Tank Bigsby
Kyle Monangai
Kyler Murray

I would say I'm pretty happy with my starters (really wanted to grab Brandon Aubrey in Round 10 but someone else had the same idea two picks before me!), but my bench was not very well-planned. I like having Tank Bigsby to handcuff Saquon, and Godwin and Diggs are decent bench depth at WR, but I don't think I really needed to draft Monangai, and Gainwell has the same bye as Saquon and Swift (and by extension Tank and Monanagai), which means all 5 of my RBs are on bye at the same time! I've never made a bye week planning mistake like that before - week 10 will be painful if I don't have anyone on IR to have more wiggle room to figure that out. Oh well.

I'm not overly impressed with my Fantasy but it will have to due lol. I had my office draft on my birthday last Thursday. Typical draft party late night live draft in the office with a little pizza and adult beverages lol.

QB - Lamar Jackson
RB - Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - Javonte Williams
WR -A.J. Brown
WR - Jaylen Waddle
TE - Tucker Kraft. I got Tyler Warren taken a pick before me from a dang Auto drafter
Flex - Ashton Jeanty
K - Jason Myers. So pissed. My co worker knew I was going for Aubrey and he grabbed him the round I was gonna go for him
Def - Rams

Bench
KC Concepcion. I always like to get at least one rookie
Patrick Mahomes
Alec Pierce
Tony Pollard
Michael Wilson
Ravens

Lol we both got sniped on Aubrey. I had him the past couple years and he's a total stud.

[flight50]

Same here. I grab him typically in the 6th-8th rnds to make sure I get him well before the end when people go for kickers. I go after him after I have my 2 starting RBs, both starting WRs and QB. My TE, KR, Def and Flex all depends on what position I am in the draft and who's available. That determines the priority for Aubrey. I'll let my co-worker make it this year. He knows I like Aubrey a lot. They like to see me fired up when they steal my people lol. I just bought Aubrey's jersey this year so I'll at least get the upper hand the day I rock it to work on Friday's or game day when its a Monday or Thursday night.
