Draft Analysis

For this analysis, I've used Yahoo's ranking simply because it's the easiest to identify player with team.  I may update this for any preseason trades to come.

Snake Draft Comp
Here I've assumed an 11 team draft, and assigned numbers (round.overall rank) for the player that ended up on each team to assess how managers strategically allocated "draft picks."  I've included the Kiah-Brad trade, and if you look closely you might find some trouble with the numbering (it was easiest to assume 11 players per round throughout, but with Johnson added in too).  I've gone through seven rounds because in those rounds you could select an entire starting lineup of position players, and I included the total number of players selected with a 7th round or better comp.

Jerod (1 second, 3 thirds, 1 fifth, 3 sixths) 7
(2.20) T. Hilton, (3.27) D. Hopkins, (3.29) C. McCaffrey, (5.46) S. Ware, (6.57) E. Lacy, (6.61) J. Landry, (6.65) L. Blount

Roster Construction
Here is a look at position strengths, position weaknesses, and position depth.  The numbers are Yahoo's positional rankings: top 12 QBs and TEs, and top 30 RBs and WRs (assuming half the league starts RB at flex, half the league starts WR).  Thus the more numbers a team has the better, and the lower numbers each team has the better.  Here I've also included the Kiah-Brad trade.
