I think there's some slump on player's level around now or after the next few picks
I kind of felt it myself on some positions.
Think I got the right path anyway.

There was a couple of second rounders that should gave been 3rd, imo.

If it's even remotely possible with a couple of odd picks for Malone and AD to drop to the third, your draft is too deep.

This draft is both deep and not deep. Top end talent is great, but supporting cast drop off is real. Refer to the explanation of last pick by flaco.

Might not go far in the playoffs for this draft, but at least the last couple of them I participated in I think I built pretty damn good teams.

Granger definitely would've been on Fade's team in this one.

You can make your last pick as well. You were effectively skipped three times

My strategy was good but I missed so many players being eligible, Richmond especially hurts as he was perfect SG for Paul/Lebron/Howard.

I'd suggest we freeze the clock for Thanksgiving day as far all playoff write-ups are concerned.

I'll get my roster page in now.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
