Love this question and topic... some rep to you Jshed for getting this convo started.
2 things - both of which tend to influence whether I'd stick with my 'pre-list' or defer to the 'post-draft' results.
1) We sometimes forget that we're playing 'fantasy' while real GM's aren't. They're trying to build a team that wins. We're trying to build a team that scores (points mostly). Am I interested in drafting N.Allan (32 to CHI) because he's a first rounder over a 3rd rounder (Pastujov, Robertsson, Martino)... NO. Not unless I'm in an insanely deep league that value peripherals in a big way.
2) More related to your specific question, would I take Othmann/etc. over Raty/etc. - yes. But that's primarily because their perceived value has increased now in the eyes of fellow GMs. I would prefer to pick, Othmann/etc. knowing that the guy I want Raty/etc. will almost for sure with my next pick. Plus I can likely swap Othmann/etc. for my guy + additional assets due to that perceived value.
In the end, I still want "my guy" (the guy I personally had ranked highest) but I'm willing to try and draft for 'value' in most leagues with an eye to leveraging that later.
If by chance I'm in a league where no one ever trades with anyone else... I'm still going with the Raty/etc. group over the higher chosen player.
Awesome question - curious to hear where others land on this!
