Analysing my (well me & my buddy) draft a quarter in:
Strong and bold early 5 rounds. Cooled off in the mid rounds, cuz had to protect getting a starter + Trouba (who I'm still high on)
But what I really like is our late draft. Picked most ouf our current core from there and oh boiiii they hot! Found the new guys who took over the major spots in their respective teams.
Arvid & Preds still kinda in a holding pattern and Nurse just ended a 10 game cold streak with nothing but peripheral stats. Trouba also cold AF. Hoping Rags get their shit together.
Everybody has injuries. Part of the game. We've done good on our pickups. Found replacements for every week. Thinking back on this and the whole draft; we've only had to can 3 players from the initial draft. That's pretty sweet.
I think this draft was a success.
