Draft Analysis #1

In this look, I examine how each of our auction approaches translates to a snake draft.  I've simply used Yahoo's rankings for the top 108 players (which takes us through 9 rounds, meaning in theory everybody could draft all of their starters, sans defense and kicker).  Below you'll see the top 108 players on their assigned teams.  For each team I've translated the ranking into the theoretical round, and in parentheses I added how many of the top 108 each team got.  I may have made some errors in transcription here.

In a perfect translation, each of us would have one 1st, one 2nd, etc., so you can see what sorts of sacrifices people make as they draft.

It's worth noting that Yahoo's rankings really don't translate to our auction prices cleanly at all, for several reasons, but that this is the easiest way to add this material.

Later I'll try some different ways to analyze how we prioritized different positions (it will be easier to do this if people put in their planned lineups, but that's up to you).
