I like your team. I'm assuming you waited and drafted QB late, so Carr isn't bad and you can play QB roulette during the year if need be. Your WR core is strong, and I think 30h is a good spot for McCaffrey in PPR.

I think you made a mistake drafting 2 QBs and 2 TEs. Now, I'm sure you got those guys in like the 12/13th rounds so it's not killer, but you should have grabbed a few upside RBs instead, or if you're not gonna do that, should have just picked the best D and then K, because those were just wasted picks anyway. Overall though, should be a fine team.

Also - I love live drafts. My league recently switched from live to online and I miss doing live drafts so much.

The 2nd TE and QB were really just late garbage round picks. The whole live draft thing was new to me, and not having the rolling list of available players and being able to quickly evaluate several players at once got me in the last 4 rounds. I did my research for about the first 10 rounds, and that was it. I've always just lived on free agency when it comes to my bench anyway. In my experience, and it may just be poor drafting, but I've done better by moving players and paying attention to who is hot, especially later in the season. So, I've gotten to the point that the late rounds just don't matter as much to me, unless I can get a steal down there.

I took Carr a bit earlier than I would have wanted to or care to say, but for some reason we went on a run of QBs early after Brees, Brady, Rodgers, and Matt Ryan got picked. It's like everyone else kind of freaked, and I just jumped in.

My problem with RBs is, and this is mostly due to poor results with anyone outside of the Top 5 or 10 (and even with some of those...GURLEY!!!), and constantly rotating RBs. The only reason I kept Gurley all season last year is because I couldn't drop him...URGH!!!
