I actually disagree with the majority here. I think you need to have a plan going in, especially when you know your draft slot a bit in advance. I've seen way too many guys not be prepared for a scenario that unfolds and shite down their leg because of it.

This doesn't mean you can't be flexible if a player unexpectedly drops or guys you liked went earlier than anticipated, of course.

I think the two biggest things I would stress are

1. Have your own rankings, and stick to them. I feel strongly that better and more rational decisions are made outside the high stress environment that is a fantasy football draft

2. Know your league. Some guys love reaching for QBs, some will always go RB first, etc. Any information advantage you have helps you make better decisions and win more often.

I'm definitely in favor of having a draft strategy going in and sticking to it. I had one last year but completely bailed on it. My league very heavily drafted RB's early last year. I took 4 WR's out of the gate; Brown, DT88, Jeffrey, Green. I ended up making the semi's due to some good waiver wire moves, but I should have never went 4 WR out the gate. Lol. My plan was to take WR-WR-RB, but when the other 2 WR's fell I decided to abandon that strategy and go BPA. Didn't end up working out in the long run, but live and learn. This year I'll be sticking to my strategy once I figure it out...Hopefully.
