Draft Strategy

Best Player Available

This team prioritizes selecting the highest-rated player available on their board, regardless of position. They trust that talent will find its way onto the field and believe in accumulating the best athletes rather than filling specific holes.

Balanced Approach

This team takes a balanced approach, weighing both player value and team needs. They will take the best player available when the value is clear, but will also factor in positional need when players are similarly rated.

Needs-Based

This team focuses on addressing roster holes and positional weaknesses with their picks. They are more likely to reach for players at positions of need, even if higher-rated players are available at other positions.
