We respect the IDPers, even envy them to a degree, but we have no desire to join. We’ll stick to our simpler drafts.

It takes so much more time to perform an auction draft, we find ourselves reluctantly stuck tending to snakes, simply out of convenience — because the Madman does so many drafts.

Chasing such an enormous expansion of knowledge is so daunting, we eagerly check down to a format that utilizes just a basic defense/special teams roster position. Simone Biles' fall costs her another Olympics medal So, where were we? Ah yes, ignoring defense/special teams. Right. We’re going to do that for a long while. Practically to the end of drafts. Oftentimes, we wait until the penultimate pick of our draft, taking a DST only before we take a kicker. We can do this for several reasons: DSTs in general are not reliably predictable from season to season. Sure, there are always some teams — like the Browns, Ravens, Cowboys, etc. this season — who we are pretty sure will have a strong defense.

To that end, we have found ourselves targeting the Saints, Bengals, Vikings, Seahawks and sometimes even the Buccaneers — because those teams are facing shaky or young QBs on opening week. The difference between the best DST and what you can find on the waiver wire during the season is normally smaller, sometimes much smaller, than the difference at other positions. .
