Pete runs through a mock draft completed on another website, giving a good idea about whos going in the first 10 rounds. This leads into a discussion about draft strategies depending on which draft position you have been given. Pete gives us a website to help you with your particular draft strategy.
Another example trade is talked bout, this one involving only draft picks and can be done now before the draft or during the actual draft.
We finish off with some motivational info from the great Eddie Jaku, a 103 year old holocaust survivor who gives us some nice tips on how to be happy.
Stay tuned for a midweek podcast which will include a spotlight on another top ten IDP.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelcome Deep Ballers, in this second episode Pete does a mock draft on the fantasypros website giving an insight to the players available and when they are being taken.
Its first 5 rounds only, but gives a great snapshot into how you should start to think about your approach to drafting and what players/positions are going in the important first 5 rounds.
Then we discuss a trade I did in another league that was put to me by a very switched on team owner whereby he included a third team member and managed to satisfy all three of us. Also details how you can add future draft picks into the trading. The sleeper app facilitates this very nicely.
Finally we discuss the all important IDP position, the Pros and Cons, is it the way of the future for Fantasy Football? Pete gives us the top ten ranked defensive players and a special insight into the number 1 ranked player Darius Leonard from the Colts.
Hope you enjoy Deep Ballers, keep trading, keep up the banter, have fun and love your league.
Our very first episode in which we release draft positions and talk a little about the team owners. We also run through the rules of the league and how we want the culture to be about having lots of fun with committed players who love to trade and love to chat. If you dont want to trade then you may need to find another league.
We will have lots of banter and communication, lots of fun prizes and heaps of talk about fantasy football as we all dive balls deep into the NFL season and our new league.
