RotoCommunity's MIC Wars Draft Recap

I completed my final draft of the season tonight in RotoCommunity's MIC wars league. It is comprised of podcast and radio show hosts, hence "MIC". There were several top experts that I had to battle including Ray Flowers, Mike Kuchera, Johnny Archive, and David Gawron. I've already contended that I'm a great drafter, but running the team in-season is my weakness. I have to say that I've had good drafts, and then there are great drafts. This draft was a great one for me.


I had the #1 overall pick, which meant I'd get Albert Pujols and then have to wait 22 picks before I'd go again. Since I wasn't familiar with the drafting style or knowledge base of several of the managers in the league I used the first two rounds to guage what my strategy would be. I figured out real quick that there were a couple of H2H novices in the group and that allowed quality players to fall to the rest of us all night. I had a great first half of the 30 round draft, but the second half saw me lose several key players I wanted. In the end, I still had the most dominating head-to-head team in the league.

Just note the following:

1. It's a H2H league draft, not 5x5 roto.
2. I had a wheel pick.
3. ADP's noted below are 5x5 Roto ADPs and not H2H.
4. I bolded the picks that I thought were the best and colored RED the steals.
