Fantasy Football Draft Checklist-Be Flexible

All your research is done and now you are ready to dominate your draft.  You have your players ranked and have noted the drop off lines in talent.  Your homework shows you where players are generally being drafted and you have a mental notebook full of useful information about your opponents.  Now it's time to execute and build your team. 

The easy thing is to over think your draft and develop tunnel vision zeroing in on specific players.  Now is not the time to reach and ruin all your hard work.  Now is the time to be flexible, adjust and take what your opponents give you.  Over the course of your draft, surprises will come up and your opponents will leave you scratching your head with some of their picks.  If you are rigid in your approach you will miss the opportunity to grab a guy that should have never been available when you were picking. 

Keep an eye on who is being picked and mark them off your list.  Pay particular attention to the positions that your opponents are filling.  Noticing that you and another owner are the only teams without a starting QB and seeing that you have three or more quarterbacks ranked in the same tier will allow you to fill depth at other positions confidently assuming your opponents will not take another signal caller.  Work the depth at positions and draft the best available player according to need and you will be on your way to putting together a winning fantasy football team.
