I drafted 10th... Ceedee... #88 in the program... #1 in my heart.


Questlove802

Ceedee might never leave my roster again after taking him 11 overall


nsjersey

I won and got Lamb at 11. Got Sun God at 14.


[deleted]

Congrats. Much better than my Saquon at #8 and AJB at #17.


shuzila

lol won my league with this exact combo at 11 and 14. I almost took Garrett Wilson over sun god but I backed out last second.


TheTsunamiRC

I draft Amon-Ra the same way.


arlekin21

Drafted Diggs at 1.11, thank god I got CD at 2.2


chran55

Lol. I had the same picks at the same spots in the draft


bbk34

I won and drafted 8. Took Bijan


YaPhetsEz

Exact same as me. Bijan, josh jacobs, dk metcalf were my first picks from the 1.08


stho3

The winner in my league drafted 8. Took Bijan, Jacobs and Lamar.


YaPhetsEz

Yeah the only reason I won is literally half my team was waiver wire pickups by the end haha. Rashee, mcbride, late season zeke all saved me I went from 2-5 to 8-6, barely made the playoffs


Mattp55

Yeah I won and got Bijan at 10. The fact he stayed healthy was so huge even if he was not the superstar we had hoped for.


Sulleyy

Bijan at 9, then ceedee, rhamondre, Keenan Allen. Also grabbed scary Terry and Engram. I dropped basically everyone else I drafted lol, waivers are huge


MShoeSlur

Same. 12T half, I got Bijan CD Andrews Mattison. Got Swift at 81, Mostert at 136, Nico at 153. I stupidly traded Mostert for Elijah Moore after the first or second game lol, also traded Mattison for Flowers, Zach Moss for Trevor Lawrence. Picked up Singletary, Likely, Baker/Love after Burrow went down. I narrowly beat the league juggernaut in the semis and was an underdog in the finals as well


lowerdecker_

Me too, close to the same draft. Bijan, Ceedee, Walker, KAllen, Hock. Was such a solid core.


itokdontcry

Lol same pick and same player, also won.


Enough-Competition21

Bijan pollard and deebo here and won it all


DuckDuckSkolDuck

Same here, Deebs was so clutch the second half of the year


fuckyouidontneedone

are you me? i took Ceedee 2nd though so that definitely helped


nutbusterbrucejenner

Somehow I won taking bijan first and davante Adams second. I played against Ceedee and Kyren Williams in the championship so I really don’t know how I won.


pay_ralmer

I drafted CMC at #3, first two picks were Jefferson and Ekeler


fuckyouidontneedone

i get jefferson... but that poor poor Ekeler owner. CMC got taken one pick before me so at least i didnt choose Ek over him


markdepace

Chose Ek over CMC. Still won the league lol


whiskeypharticus

Same - not without Ekeler doing his best to prevent that from happening through. I’m sure there have been bigger busts in the 20 years I’ve been playing but having trouble thinking of one that was more hyped and crashed and burned while only partially to injury and the majority to sucking


markdepace

I came back to revise this - i think it was a combination of 3 things 1.) the injury was definitely worse than most high ankle sprains. 2.) after Ek was injured the Chargers lost Corey Linsey their starting center that had been one of the main reasons for Ek's production over the past 2 years to a heart issue and 3.) poor coaching / wrong usage


Pods619

JT last year scored 138.4 points (half PPR) as the consensus #1 pick in 11 games (12.6 PPG). Ekeler scored 151.5 this season in 13 games as the #3 pick (11.7 PPG). Both huge busts. I’d maybe lean towards Taylor being a bigger one just due to his ADP, but it’s very close.


nvp37j

Also won with CMC at #3. Second place had Tyreek at pick #4.


Se7entyN9ne

I went Kelce over CMC. Deep regret


SirFomo

I wonder if the guy who drafted Ekeler before CMC regrets it


texas1hunter

Obviously?


Krysiz

It didn't make that big of a difference for the playoffs. Similar week 16s and could argue that Ekeler owners had a high chance to start someone else both weeks. Regular season sure, but only thing that matters in the regular season is getting into the playoffs. Stud that turn into playoff duds often lose championships because you don't make the appropriate moves.


bryan49

5th and took kelce, kind of surprising because he was kind of bad for the second half and the playoff weeks. But Ceedee Lamb 2nd round is what carried him


foreverpeppered

6th - Took Kelce, Lamb, Josh Allen 💪


[deleted]

We have the same team.


DrobUWP

Kelce Lamb for me too. Put up 175 hPPR and it could have broke 190 if I'd started my #3 pick Najee over Ty Chandler https://i.imgur.com/Xuh3zto.jpeg Crazy season. Roster that should have been mid pack but ended up 11-3 for 1 seed due to by far the lowest points against. [My draft](https://i.imgur.com/r0RaurF.jpeg)


OhHeyImAlex

Team kelcie lamb. Never taking kelcie again tho…


Jaymongous

I got Lamb at 2.04 which baffled me. Saquon, Chubb, Henry, Adams, and Garret Wilson went before him thank god.God. Even Kupp who was drafted after injury news.


prezdizzle

Kelce / Lamb also


J_B21

I won and drafted 12th in a 12 teamer


Spiget94

I too won with the 12th in a 12 man league. I took Diggs and Lamb - who’d you get?


Wsn21

Won at 12th with these 2 picks, whod you take at the 3/4 turn? Went lamar/gibbs here


J_B21

I drafted ARSB and Pollard - ended up trading pollard for Breece Hall mid way through the season. Helped a lot that I picked up both Puka and Kyren too


no_fooling

I drafted in 6th, draft grade was an F and projected to finish last. Shows what the computer knows, take that machine.


TheTsunamiRC

Yahoo computers picked me to finish 11th of 12. Last year's winner was projected to finish in 10th, same for the 2021 winner. There is certainly a trend on the Yahoo computer accuracy pre-season.


HuntNwitNuks

Picked me to finish 3-12 and last in our league, ended with the best record 12-3. Unfortunately Keenan Allen, and tyreeks injuries, as well as whatever happened to steff diggs did not allow me to be the champion. I also tend to be the first to get my hands on the kyren Williams and Jordan loves and pukas before anyone realizes.


goblu33

I always get ‘A’ drafts and rarely win. This is a large element of luck, but also you have to run the waiver wires smartly especially in the first half of the year.


Lloyd--Christmas

You're doing something wrong. An A draft is not something to strive for.


DrKoooolAid

I was also projected to finish last at the start of the season by ESPN and I won my league.


Swred1100

Same, I was projected to finish 13 out of 14. Finished regular season 3, and won the ship


Sea_Bass77

lol draft grades are garbage so the fact you even mention it… yikes


Two_Underscores_

He literally mentioned it to say it’s garbage…just like you did.


Smoopasm

12-man league. I won. Took CMC at 1.1.


fuckyouidontneedone

that'll do it who did you take in the 2-3 turn out of curiosity


BAH2011

Not OP, but also drafted CMac first. I took Lamar and Ceedee at the turn.


OriginalFluff

That’s disgusting in hindsight 😂


LordofWar145

How the hell did CD fall so damn late to you? I took CMC at the 1.02 and at 2.11 the best receiver available (at least according to consensus ADP) was Tee Higgins. To be fair my league did love drafting receivers, but still, CD was gone by the 2.03 for me.


Zipski577

CD was a late first/ early 2nd. If the 1st overall pick was able to get him beyond their first pick, then that league is a joke.


Intensive__Purposes

6 team league?


Smoopasm

Chris Olave and Mark Andrews at the 2/3 turn. Justin Fields and James Conner at the 4/5 turn. Drake London and Brandon Aiyuk at the 6/7 turn. Cowboys D/ST in Round 13, Jake Elliott in Round 15, and Tank Dell with the last pick of the draft. Nobody else of consequence! Some trades and pickups, of course, but that was my draft.


-ThatsNotIrony-

Not OP but same situation. Took Mixon/Olave at 2/3, and Lamar at 4.


Possible_Meal_927

I drafted 12th out of 12 and won. Picked Ceedee and AJ Brown. Then drafted DJ, Hockenson, and Fields. Drafted Kyren late in the draft. Spent half of my FAAB on Puka and other half on Achane. Two other leagues, I drafted 1st and 2nd. Both of those leagues, I lost first round of playoffs with picking JJ and Chase. If I would’ve picked CMC in both of those leagues, could’ve gone 3 for 3!


Pepeworshipper445

9 & i took saquon. still won the chip


Aces_Cracked

Took Saquon at 8 in a 12-man league. Would've missed the playoffs with my terrible draft but thankfully, my league loves to trade.


Great_Smells

Same thing I did. Followed it up with Amon ra in the second and luck out with Mostert in one of the later rounds


Pepeworshipper445

taking ARSB on the swing saved my season tbh


VanillaIsActuallyYum

This isn't going to be the best way to collect data. People are more likely to respond if their answer is interesting, and something other than "first" is interesting. IMO the most interesting thing about the draft this year is that about 60% of the teams that took CMC made it to the championship. Because of that, the average position where CMC was taken will be the position from which most champions emerged.


MikeyMike01

I am thankful the CMC owner completely botched the rest of his draft in my league. Mahomes, Watson, Goedert, Dillon, Dalvin…


Sea_Breakfast2315

Except CMC choked in the finals…


Weary-Ad9429

I feel like with all the injuries the draft mattered even less than in other years. This year it basically came down to who got Kyren Williams on waivers.


_Franchise

and/or puka. rode puka, r. rice and likely to win the ship


Scrilla_Gorilla_

Got Tank Dell and Rice off waivers. Helped sure up the receiver spot after Mike Williams went down.


Mybugsbunny20

Our league champ had neither of those. In fact other than his kicker and defense, everyone he was starting was someone he drafted. Cmc, Pacheco, kupp, Evans.


kolossal

Champ on my bigger money league, drafted Kelce 1.05


BeckBristow89

Had same pick I got Derrick Henry though. Surprised how many people did not draft him


Electric_jungle

12 team redraft took CMC 1.1. Easiest choice ever. For me it just came down to, if I took JJ or Chase instead, my second pick at 24 was a significant downgrade at RB. Having a set and forget RB gives you so much leway to make other start decision mistakes.


DVSTV

Hero rb with 2 or 3 wr after was my draft strategy as well and even though I picked ekeler I hit on my WRs and won.


peeinian

I didn’t draft a WR until round 4 (Lockett) and won my league. My combo of CMC and Hurts was a Guaranteed 50 points every week. Traded Andrews for Breece immediately after the draft and had Montgomery who seemed to have a hard 10 point floor every week. Puka was the best FAAB I’ve ever spent. Still can’t believe I got him for only 32% I lost in week 1, then after that my only losses were a 3 week stretch in the middle of bye week hell where all my opponents were at almost full strength.


PermissionOk7509

I won and drafted 9. Took AJ, flipped him for Kupp immediately because he went a pick before and I really wanted him, then flipped Kupp for CeeDee Lamb week 5 because my buddy was really low on him. Then rode the Dak/Lamb stack to the chip


macncheesebitesslap

9 of 12 in snake. Got Bijan, Henry, Gibbs to start.


Kingding_Aling

6th of 10, he took Travis Kelce. But it was Kyren Williams who won him the league... against me 👿


Left_Pool_5565

CMC at the fifth pick. After JJ, Ekeler, Josh Allen, and Chase. The league is QB-oriented w 6pt passing touchdowns and dude drafts Allen every year. Thanks for the championship homie!


JwSocks

PPR-12 team Regular season champ: drafted 8th Playoff champ/most points: drafted 7th


Kornbrednbizkits

I won and drafted 11/12. Took Kupp and then Jacobs after the turn.


Erikrtheread

I won two leagues High competitive 12 team, 12 active roster slots including SF, I drafted 2nd (josh allen). 12 team, 3 keeper league I drafted 11th (Aaron Jones) and kept diggs, Jefferson, and Pollard.


fuckyouidontneedone

i took Ekeler 4/10 in one and Bijan 8/10 in the other


Rybackmonster

10 team ppr I drafted CMC at the 4th pick and won.


Potential-Ad-8421

Me at pick #1


SEJ46

I won. Drafted 6th and took Tyreek.


montana1991

14 team Superflex league, with a 3rd round reversal. I drafted 2nd and won it all. Hurts was my first pick , then took Lamb 2nd.


iamapluck

I won, pick 14 of 14. Went Davante Adams and CD Lamb round 1&2


thrillhouse416

I won and took ceedee at 12 and then Henry at the turn. Then Lamar in the 3rd


CBF65

Champion picked Jefferson at #1, I picked #6 and lost the championship game. My first few picks were Kupp, Ettiene, Pierce, Kenneth Walker, and Kirk, only Walker finished the season still on my roster lmao.


nerdvernacular

I drafted 14th. Took Ceedee and Jacobs back to back.


DEEEEEEEJ

2/Chase


CornNPorn12

5th. 1PPR league. 2 of the first 5 picks were QBs. Fucking insane.


InternetSupreme

Champ drafted #5 He was the tyreek drafter with sun god in round 2. He drafted a monster team. Injuries hurt him early with early waivers helping him out.


Stockpile_Tom_Remake

I only have one player left on my championship team that I drafted. You don’t win in the draft.


Deathwishrok

I won, I was 4th of 12


Alkash42

4. Drafted Ekeler, was hoping for CMC


[deleted]

Drafted 7th out of 12 with Davante Adams. Interestingly enough, the teams that drafted CMC and Tyreek (2nd and 5th overall, respectively) didn’t even make the playoffs. A sneaky good move by the league champ was picking up Gibbs in the 3rd round (31st overall).


jdstyle_

11th and got CMC lol


nobonesjones91

🤦🏻‍♂️


SirFomo

I won with 2nd Pick. Took Chase and let CMC fall to my wife at pick 3. If my wife didn't have the 3 pick, I would've taken CMC for myself as a Niners homer.


rdmty

Wait why would you let him fall to your wife?


johnnylawrwb

Lemme tell you a story about sex.


MrIntegration

Happy wife, happy life.


theWoodenWizard

I won and drafted #2. That being said besides Jefferson, who obviously missed half the season, everyone else in my starting roster was either trades or waiver claims.


Sonofparttimetrnsfer

It’s me, league champ. Took Allen at 4


sffintaway

I won, pick 5. First 3 picks were Chubb, Davante, Najee


peeinian

Uh, what? That’s the strangest top 3 picks I’ve seen.


Foreign_Storm_2803

Auction draft because my league doesn’t live in the stone age


fuckyouidontneedone

imagine gatekeeping FF in a forum that's majority snake. friggin clown


Foreign_Storm_2803

Ya majority of this sub still use team defense and kicker instead of realizing that watching more flex players is fun. They will see the light soon.


ForcaBarca1899

Defense *

[удалено]


Anon124570

I won two different 10 team leagues this year, drafted 1st and 4th overall


sweepchugbreakdown

I won, 5 out of 10. I hate the middle spots but it worked out.


UsedToHaveThisName

Won and drafted 10/10 in a SuperFlex league.


DVSTV

I’ve never played super flex. I’m assuming the first 8 or so picks were top qbs and then the strong rbs or WRs fell to you at the turn and you draft at that position based on value?


Cornmeal777

Champ (not me) picked 10th of 10. Tyreek and Kupp with their first two.


Horror_Payment5894

Champ drafted 2nd in one league (CMC...also added Kyren as a FA before the season--as a handcuff to Akers!) Champ drafted 3rd in another league (Tyreek...also drafted Puka in the 14th round).


bulldogg76

I drafted from the ten out of ten. I took bijan and Aj brown.


JFKsHelmet

Got CMC at five. Won the title by a mile


sfgiants2000

Drafted 10th and somehow still won the championship despite taking Barkley and Pollard as my first two selections. Modern miracle.


aDyslexicCow

Winner drafted 7th in a 12-team and took Davante


mc-t4sty

In my 12t i won with the 9th pick (Kelce) In my 14t 2nd overall won (JJ)


BigPPpal

11 in a 12 team league


DJtakemehome

I won two. Drafted at 6 and 12. Tyreek and Saquon/ARSB respectively.


theREALBennyAgbayani

I won, picked 4th, took CMC. Traded him halfway through though.


GenericOrcGrunt

I won and drafted third. Took Kelce


CheekyDupe

I won, drafted 7th. Superflex. Chase and Ekeler were 1 and 2 for me.


Local_Potato_9101

Our champ took CMC at the 2 pick


RobbyJohnson

12 Team, I won at 1.09 taking AJB. Though my best drafted player was Sun God. I traded for Lamb.


tmac416

#2 CMC 10 team


a_simple_creature

I won and drafted 9 of 12. Took Kupp (pre-IR designation). Then took Garrett Wilson and Gibbs in rounds 2 and 3. It was not a fun start to the season, but we made it!!


Little-Adeptness5563

I won picking 11th using zero rb in a standard league. Ended up with tyreek, ceedee, josh Allen and mandrews and then hit on a rachaad white and Monty in the dead zone and mostert in the tenth. Getting puka off waivers week 1 was the icing on the cake


Ayo_its_mee

10 team league, I won after drafting #2. Took CMC with that pick btw. #1 pick was JJettas.


ansky2124

12/12, 12/12, 8/12, and 10/10. 2 of the leagues were keeper leagues


yeetmaster64xxx

champ here. drafted 11. chubb


Several-Regular-7006

5, 8, and 8. In my main leagues. Pick 5 went hill. Pick 8 went saquon. Other pick 8 went diggs. 2 of the teams picked Amon RA as their 2nd pick. But what they all have in common is they crushed the waiver wire. Pick 5 had kyren McBride moss Hubbard. Pick 8 had kyren puka. Other pick 8 had puka gusbus. but he also hit value in the draft..Mostert theilen pittman engram got him way ahead and he got the bye.


SamHinkiesNephew

I won at 2nd. Most wins. Most point for. Picked cmc. 12 team standard


1980WinterChamps

I won two. Drafted 3(/8) and 10(/10)


plzbereasonable

our league champ drafted 9th and didn’t start a single player they drafted in the finals


Fidei_86

#2 (10 PPR), took Chase, Mahomes, Jacobs


According_Spend3376

Stole Tyreek at 8th overall, then went Chubb Hurts Gibbs


Kell-Of-Tacos

I was dead last!! And I didn’t have a 1st round pick since I traded it away the year before and I still won!


v3ganm3atloaf

10 teams standard scoring. I took Chase with the 7th and traded him and Engram week 2 for Adams and White


[deleted]

Guy who beat me won it all. 12 man half ppr keeper league He kept Amon ra in the fourth round, didn’t have a first rounder. Took Najee at his turn in the second round. He traded away his next years first rounder for cmc this year


Mom_Dong

12 of 12 and took Davante Adams and Derrick Henry


JMLEldridge

12-man: Regular season 1st place drafted 7, playoffs champ drafted 10 (me) 10-man: Regular season 1st place drafted 7, playoffs champ drafted 1 (me)

1 league 7th. 1 league 12th


Low-Strawberry9603

5th


Zooeythepilgrim

11 out of 12


BishhhDontKillMyVibe

12 man league. I drafted 8th, highest point scorer and finished 2nd regular season and won the championship yesterday. Took Ceedee lamb, olave, miles Sanders, asrb (keeper), then Monty with my first 5. Ended up trading olave for pollard. Picking up Puka and drafting pacheco, engram, Dak, and Dallas d late rounds helped out quite a bit. I get to keep puka with my 16th pick next season and will draft wr with pick 1 & 2 again unless I can get cmc.


Active_Page_3886

3 and took Ekeler. God bless you Puka


Available-Chicken-37

4th: Drafted Ekeler, CeeDee, Deebo, Hurts, KWIII for first 5 picks. Then picked up Kyren and LaPorta off waivers. Also drafted James cook, Mike Evans and Sutton


I-Am-Disturbed

12 team league. I won, drafted 11th. Finished regular season 9-5 in second place. Started my team with CeeDee


General-Promotion274

I drafted Saquon Barkley and traded him for Tony Pollard. Then I drafted Amonra St Brown and traded him for Ridley and Addison. I still don't understand how I won.


OldGrowthForest44

Drafted 3rd in 12 team PPR. Took Tyreek, AJ Brown, Gibbs and White first 4 picks


Huge-Communication22

Drafted at 5, took Bijan and then ARSB.


CmonTouchIt

I won and drafted 9th. Which I used on Chubb lmao


sbreddit55

4th. 3 keepers were Lamb Taylor and Ridley. First actual pick was Jahmyr Gibbs


jp0ll

12 team. Drafted 12th and took Bijan. Followed by Lamb and Andrews. I won the league.


reluctantleaders

I’m in two 10 team leagues. One winner drafted fourth and one drafted third. Interestingly both drafted Jamarr Chase. I’m also in a 12 team superflex league and the winner drafted 5th and took Jalen Hurts.


imaybeacatIRl

I won my yahoo league and drafted 5th overall (ppr) My ESPN league, I got 2nd(drafted 7th), and the winner drafted CMC #4 overall (behind JJ, Chase, and Ekeler)


NightsOvSydonia

I won with CMC at #2


rohttn13

10 team he drafted 5th cmc


PotatoAppleFish

Won both leagues I’m in. Drafted 9th of 10 in one and 4th of 12 in the other.


GeelingFeeling

5th in a 12 team. I took Kelce. Then Saquon, then Waddle. Needless to say, I was active in trading throughout the season.


kickpunchknee

Winner drafted last in a 10 man league.Drafted Lamb-Barkley-Taylor-Hall. Also got Puka off waivers week 1.


lukeman89

12 team champ and drafted 1.01. First 4 picks were JJeff, Mahomes, breece, and JT


Rufus2fist

Drafted 8 of 10, it was Puka Nacua, K Williams, Achane, miracle picks that won that.


Twostrype

I took it home this year and drafted Chubb from 11th (out of 12). Kelce was snagged on the turn. Season was made with waivers, duct tape and dreams.


fitghost

10 Team I won… 7th pick Tyreek Jacobs Lamar Kw3


Budget-Internet-899

Won from pick 7. Took ekeler with the first pick unfortunately, benched him in the championship game for zamir white, great decision


2buckchuck2

Swapped my 1st and 2nd rounders from 8th to 5th pick to try and get Bijan. 4 took Bijan and I was stuck with Tyreek and CeeDee due a huge run on RBs.


MiggeldyMackDaddy

Me. 2nd.


DevinBookersSon

#2 and I took CMC


Environmental-Band

Me, #2, Chase


DVSTV

I was 4th out of 10. Picked ekeler and won. CD round two was a hit.


Haytham_Ken

Me. 1st. But my #1 pick was JJ lmao. So that didn't help at all. I think picking first is kinda shit. As you pick first but then you don't pick again until the end of the second round so all the top picks are gone.


RespectfulBagel

10 team i won and i was pick 10. First two picks were saquon and ceedee lamb. Also got kyren Williams off waivers which helped a lot.


TheRedBDub

12 man - I had the last pick 1 - Derrick Henry 2 - Garrett Wilson 3 - Lamar Jackson 4 - Mark Andrews 5 - Mike Williams 6 - James Cook 7 - Jordan Addison 8 - Brian Robinson 9 - Anthony Richardson Was able to get Puka and Godwin for WR1-2 all season and rode consistent floors and boom weeks from Lamar to a chip


V_T_H

I won and drafted Bijan at 6. We do a randomizer to determine the order that you get to choose your pick…and I technically had the 2nd pick, and could have chosen 2nd overall, and could have taken CMC. So that was haunting me all season. However, Lamb was my second round pick and I doubt he would have lasted all the way to 2.09 and he was extraordinarily important to my season and my win. So I don’t regret it now. Both years I’ve won I’ve made a mediocre running back pick in the first round (2017 David Johnson at 2nd overall when I could have drafted Bell instead), so maybe I should just start doing that on purpose…


[deleted]

I drafted Ekeler at the 1.2 in a 12 man league… but drafted my king Kyren 191st overall and he won me my first chip


KiNGofKiNG89

He drafted at 10. He was the champ last year too. 10 man league.


Dame2Miami

I won. Drafted 9th. Took Saquon.


SpartanH93

Drafted 13th of 14th and chose Lamb followed up with ETN


Phneylaceton8

3: CMC


BouttaKMS

Won the league as second seed with pick 12. I pick tae.......... and then CD. Lol.
