I'll just come right out and say that in a standard, 12-team league with normal active and total roster spots, I think that a draft is the best way to put every owner's pure player-picking skills to the test.

I don't know, I kind of disagree with that opinion.

like last year in my longest participating league, I was able to get Frank Gore and CJ Spiller/Fred Jackson with little competition in an auction format.

when I picked both of the Bills backs I caught a lot of shite. Just a lot of "Buffalo sucks" remarks that you might expect from a few fantards.

I knew I was getting a nice rotation of backs that played on teams who had underrated success running the ball. More so with Buffalo than San Fran obviously... a lot of people just weren't interested in Gore because of his age.

I got Gore for $22 or so last year. Definitely on the low end of the spectrum for RB1 and not anywhere near the 2nd round price someone paid for him in one of my draft leagues.

But at least in my auction league I had the opportunity to take him if I wanted to wait out all the people who were going to spend money on Rice, Foster and McCoy. My point is, nobody can snipe you.
