Jabro officially takes the turn. #20 is set in stone.

Lee Majors has #19 unless there's a major accident.

I'm looking likely to have #18 at 5 down, but with 10 laps to go, there is still a good chance for people to fall.

Webbeh just took out Taxes.

Good shot that that just dumped Taxes into the #18 or #19 spot, lotta damage in the front axle. Dunno if that will drop Webbeh out as well.

Shame they had the poo poo drivers at the back screw up that restart. That was excellent racing up at the front.

Taxes drops to the #18 pick. Dunno if Smith will be back on the course. Otherwise he'll drop to #19 while LeeMajors has a chance to move up to #18.

Same here. I've drafted Braxton Miller both years I've done this league and he's led me to playoff seasons both times. I have the #2 pick and could theoretically take him again but with either Mariotta or Winston on the board I'll probably have to choose one of those two.

No way of knowing.

So, has anyone else done nothing to prepare for the draft? I haven't even really read this season's predictions closely.

I like going in blind. It insures that I'll flail around and fail miserably.

By the end of the draft, you really won't have a lot of opportunities available anyways, except to find those potential sleepers.

I've been in the league since Webbeh started it, and I still haven't figured out a good strategy for drafting a team. I guess you can do what Taxes does with his team, and go ahead and draft the entire Marshall roster. It'll probably pay off this year.
