is the 3rd pick in a 12 team league good..snake draft?

Each spot has its advantages and disadvantages. You just gotta figure out the best way to go about it and make good selections.

i think you just have to look at the league your in and if it's a league you have been in before then you should have an idea on how people draft. I normally don't worry about the pick I get I just look at everybody else's and I can normally figure out what they will do. Then that tells me how I'm gonna draft.

This, I almost always have a good guess at how the first round will go based on who has what pick. When you play with the same people enough, you just pick up on certain tendencies. There is one guy in our league that no matter what his pick is 1-12, he is going QB first. Has done it the past 4 years.

Every pick in a snake draft is on an even playing field. In theory. I guess it depends on how top-heavy the draft is in a particular year... if there's only like 5 elite players, then it's better to pick early. If it's extremely deep, it may be better to have a late pick and get your 2nd pick sooner. After the first 2-3 rounds, it really doesn't seem to make any difference.

If you really wanted to nerd out I'm sure you could do some heavy statistical analysis on ADPs of players and see which pick averages getting the best overall selection of available players. Something like that probably exists on the interwebz if you look hard enough

Yes you are, it's called BPA. Doesn't mean they'll end the season as that player but going into the draft they'll have the best odds at finishing in the top 5

It depends on who you pick whether the 3rd pick is good or not

Its not bad, I prefer a 9th-12th pick myself.

I'm looking at taking 3rd or 4th in my 12 team league. Get the top RB available and as long as Gronk, Luck, Rodgers and Brees go before my second pick I should have a very nice wr/rb fall to me in the second. Passing TDs are worth 6 and we have passing bonuses so there are usually 3 QBs gone by the early second.
