Re: M17 CFM Fantasy Draft strategy

I like to make a stud defense. 8 of my first 11 picks normally will be defense. This can change based on who's available.

Round
1. I'm looking for my defensive centerpiece. Normally Kuechly, Mack or Watt.
2-6. I'm taking CBs or front 7 guys. I want SS dev traits.
7. Decent old Qb. Romo, Rivers, Eli, or Cutler. I'll draft a replacement after a year or 2 of the franchise.
8+. Anyone left that has SS dev trait.
I'll finally take a Wr then put an o-line together.
Move back to the defense and grab safeties.

Besides my first pick, this is always an adapting strategy. If I see a player I like with 10 players ahead of him at the position, I'll grab a different position with less options. When the position starts getting thinner then go back to draft him. It's never perfect but I go with youth and traits and hope to get lucky.

I like this idea of drafting. I always take defense first too. I like drafting a rookie QB after a year or two anyway. RB's are a dime a dozen, OL can be had in very late rounds along with WR's.

But, defense goes fast.

What defense do you run? 4-3? 3-4? something else?

Thank you. That helps a lot. Never noticed that defense is more important than offense

I try to run a 4-3 which is why I love to get Kuechly to control the field.

I just started simming drafts to see where players get drafted to get a better idea of where value can be found and what rounds position runs start. I skipped my pick so I wouldn't mess up how the rest of the draft would go.

Each draft is different. One draft the cpu drafted Winston in rd 7 as my starting Qb. The next draft I did he was picked 12th overall. I'm doing more tests to prepare for my online draft with friends tonight

Re: M17 CFM Fantasy Draft strategy

My first 5 picks are usually LT, DT, MLB, CB, CB. Order varies on where I'm drafting and who's there.

Yea I love how varied the drafts are. This never used to be the case really and you could always count on the cpu drafting basically the same players in the same draft positions.

Re: M17 CFM Fantasy Draft strategy

I drafted a pretty balanced team by using the following link:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...ck-to-returner

I went QB, ROLB, LT, CB, WR as it says. I think my first deviation from this came around 12 as I took another DE instead, but for the most part I followed this.

My WR were the weakest part along with LB, but overall I liked the team.

By memory I ended up with:

QB: Cam Newton
RB: Doug Martin, Arian Foster (both injured in 1st two games, LOL), Knile Davis (I'm the Browns so I have extra picks and traded my 2nd rouner for Melvin Gordon to fill in)
WR: Jordy Nelson, Devante Adams, Andre Johnson, Breshard Perriman
TE: Ladarius Green, Michael Rivera

My O-Line is strong at tackle and I have Alex Mack at centre while my guards are serviceable.

On D:

ROLB: Tamba Hali
LOLB: Trent Cole
CB: Pacman Jones, Cromartie

I also have a good FS, though most of me D escpaes me right now.

If Julio, or Odell are available go for it. If not wait on WR and go defense, WR and QB are the only offensive positions worth taking in the 1st, but ONLY if the top echelon of YOUNG players at those positions is available, Julio, Odell, Hopkins, Brown, Green, Newton, Luck, Wilson, Taylor, Mariota ect. You can easily find Kevin White, Will Fuller types in the later rounds. Like I said my 1st 2 picks in my online fantasy CFM last year were Miller and Clowney. Also, HB and OL (lol) should NEVER be taken in the first few rounds, target the 5th for your 1st OL, there are just too many good players at each which afords you the chance to wait, and the HB position is littered with sleepers. TE is another position to wait on, you can find guys like Green and Waller (Sleeper of this Madden) later on. Last year I took a TE by the name of Demetrius Harris in like the 18th round he was very raw 6-7 86 spd and a 70 ovr, I spammed him in the redzone and by end of year 2 he was a 95 OVR freak of nature.
