Matthew Berry is a very well known fantasy writer. He has a book coming out and is my favorite fantasy sports writer. Berry recently wrote about a mock draft he participated in and discussed what his approach into each round was and the reasons for his pick that round. The format for the league the mock draft was a 12 team league with a points per reception (PPR) format. Here is Berry's blog post.
This blog post was great for a pre draft approach that every owner should have. Anything can happen while drafting so practice is a great help to be prepared for the unexpected. Having an idea of what position to draft first and what to look for in the later rounds is crucial. Certain players have value in a PPR format while others lose value. Running backs who catch the ball as well as run the ball have increased value. Reggie Bush and Derron Sproles are very good PPR running backs.
One thing that you cannot be totally prepared for is what pick you will have in the first round. Another thing is if the guy you were hoping to pick has already been picked. In this situation, it is very important to have ranks for each position. Remember, expect the unexpected. Get your guys. Do not pick any Jets and all will be alright.
