Autodraft all the way, baby.

I can’t be that hands off.

First of my two drafts was last night. We can start two QBs, so my second was Baker.

Baker is my second too. My first is Josh Allen, who I prioritized and allocated a hefty $55 towards cuz I’m a boss.

I leaned heavily on AI for the rest of the draft, as I did zero prep.

Say more about how you used AI.

Would you recommend others so the same?

I watched an autodraft take 6 QBs for one team, albeit in a superflex but also lol

I've got my one and only draft tomorrow night

Wish my luck!

Do you know which pick yet?

Mainly used it to find value picks, asking what I should max pay for each. Obviously I prompted it with league size, type, and salary cap first. It was helpful in later rounds when most of the big names are gone and you’re trying to work out which RB2s or WR3s to select.

I also tried to use it in real time to assess my position, by telling it how much cap I had left and rosters needs. I didn’t really have time to update it with who I’d picked or who was picked by others though, so that wasn’t as helpful.

If you were doing an online draft, it would be interesting to have it monitor the progress in real time and offer picks with its reasoning. I’m sure plenty of people are already doing this, sort of an enhanced auto draft.

That's super interesting. I don't initiate AI interactions very often, but this seems like a cool way to use the tool.

Pat was still available in the 11th so I had to take him.

It feels great. I've never had him on one of my teams before.

There was a reason he was still available in the 11th round.

People are cowards?

Probably because his recent fantasy production is middle of the pack, but I think most people don’t give enough weight to the lackluster receivers he was throwing to with Rice missing time

The receiving core this year is also pretty suspect. I'm hoping Andy is back in his bag and coming up with fun he screens and sweeps again. Especially early on. That and a stout running game should help Pat acclimate until the bye.

The best addition for Pat and the offense is the subtraction of Matt fucking Nagy

I still have no clue what to think about Worthy. From a fantasy standpoint I thought Kelce could be pretty good value this year, but he went earlier than I anticipated

Worthy *should* be great for fantasy this year. It's year 3 in an Andy Reid offense, which is usually the breakout year for WRs. Last year he was injured in game one and never recovered. He had surgery in the offseason. He's totally healthy. They should have a competent running game that will bring safeties down and open up the pass.

But this shit never goes the way it should.

Pretty much.

I just dropped Jordan Addison for DeShaun Watson, so I have 3 QB's now. Hoping I can trade two of them for an upgrade at RB.

How frustrating for you and your three Super Bowls this decade.

I thought we were talking about fantasy players.
