Our league this year is doing a BP tournament to decide the order of our draft this year. Winner chooses his spot and just keep going down the list. What are some y'alls favorite spots to pick from? 12 team standard.

If it's a snake draft, somewhere in the middle. If it's not, then as early as possible. If a keeper league, it then depends on what you need and when you think you can get it.

My best team i've ever drafted came when I had the #7 pick in a 12 team league

i've also had picks at the top of the first round (2,3,3) and bottom (10,11) and those teams werent nearly as balanced

Not arguing, but what’s your reasoning?

Rare year for established RBs at the top of the draft. 2-6 are indistinguishable to me, therefore 6 May be better than 2 cause you’ll get a better player coming back in the 2nd

Makes sense. I pick at 5 this year and at first I didn’t like it, but the more I look into it, I think I’m in a pretty good spot

I’ve had AB fall to me a bunch in mock drafts, so while it’s not ideal, I’ve been able to snag AB and Mike Thomas, which is pretty solid

Yes. I’ll likely have 11 or 12 and I’m not too thrilled. Later you get, either have to settle for WRs or gamble on RBs

LE, you saying Kamara is that tier one with Bell, Todd, Brown, DJ, and Zeke?

Interesting, I have Kamara sixth overall, but a half step behind DJ and Zeke.

Kamara is my RB3 after Bell & Zeke

I love his safe floor.

DJ is 4 for me. Should be a workhouse but there have been a lot of moving parts in AZ this offseason.

LE, where do you have Gurley? 5?

1 Bell
2 Zeke
3 Kamara
4 David Johnson
5 Gurley
6 Fournette
7 Barkley
8 Cook
9 McCaffery
10 Mixon

I could make a case for any of the top 5 to be RB1 but me personally like the first 2 in a tier of their own. Very small gap, but that’s how I see it

No Mel Gordon? RB5 in PPR points/game the last 2 years?

I have him at 12. One day his peripherals will catch up with him. Little too much TD dependent for my liking

It's always ugly, but the volume is gonna keep him up there. Targets and catches have gone up each year. Hard for me to rank him that low.

It depends on your draft style. I have a tendency to reach on players, so when I'm drafting in the first or last two picks my team is either great or terrible. I put together my best teams when picking somewhere from 5-8 in 12 team leagues.

I have him 11th. I don’t think that’s unfair
