Draft Order Preference

[hockeyrobot]

Yearly question here and hoping for some opinions....

10 team H2H 0.5 PPR League. We send in our top 5 draft spots and if no one else chooses what you choose, you get to pick there. If there is a tie...we figure it out with some kind of fun game.

What would be your top 5 spots to draft given this year's crop of players?

I always prefer to have a top 3 pick or a bottom 2. If I had to rank: 1,2,12,11,3

10 teams serpentine, right?

If so: 1,2,3,9,5

I would probably choose 1,2,3, 8,9

You need to choose the first few so someone doesn't just get handed the first couple positions.
This year I have been preferring the later round positions in the snake though. I find you need to take some good WRs in the first 5-6 rounds. So with a late spot in the draft I like the idea of snagging a Zeke/Gronk combo with your first 2 picks. Then load up on WRs.

However if you know your opponents you may be able to play off the psychology element to choose what you think they will omit!

Well I already know 3 guys choose number 1 every year regardless. So there is no point choosing high just to choose it. But I do like the idea of getting one of those elite players.
