Every pick, and why
Josh AllenR1 · #7 · QB · conf 0.70full record
Josh Allen is the highest-projected player in the pool (361.5) and locking him at 7 still leaves an elite RB/WR for my pick at 10.
Closest call: Jonathan Taylor (player_id 6813): RB4 at proj_season_points 272.3 with the largest value-over-replacement among available non-QBs (272.3 minus RB replacement_points 202.6 = 69.7) at the scarcest position (RB spread_over_replacement 128.8). Passed because taking Allen at 7 still leaves a Taylor-tier back or elite WR at pick 10, while passing on Allen hands Team H two chances (picks 8 and 9) to take the pool's best projected player.
James CookR2 · #10 · RB · conf 0.72full record
With Josh Allen secured, I take James Cook as my RB1 because running back is the steepest scarcity curve on the board and the entire starting-caliber RB band will be gone before my next pick at 23.
Closest call: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (9488), whose proj_season_points 284.6 is the highest raw projection on the board; I passed because WR replacement value at pick 23 (~250 at rank 8) is far shallower than the RB drop from 260.8 to ~211.8, making RB the scarcer buy now.
Drake LondonR3 · #23 · WR · conf 0.70full record
Team G takes Drake London, the highest-projected WR remaining (proj_season_points 250.2), to fill an empty WR1 slot before Team H's back-to-back picks at 24-25 strip the position.
Closest call: A.J. Brown — better adp (13 vs 26) and better last_season_points (220.3 vs 201.9), but London edges him on the number that scores this league: proj_season_points 250.2 vs 247.2, with identical clean injury_status and the same bye_week 11.
George PickensR4 · #26 · WR · conf 0.72full record
George Pickens is the last WR clearly above replacement, and with Team A holding zero WRs and two picks before my next turn, he will not survive to pick 39.
Closest call: Tyler Warren (player_id 12518): his proj_season_points 201.1 is +37.5 over TE replacement 163.6, the biggest raw VOR on the board, but he carries injury_status Questionable, his adp 47 makes 26 a reach, and the 8-TEs-for-5-teams supply math says a comparable TE likely survives to my next pick while Pickens will not.
D'Andre SwiftR5 · #39 · RB · conf 0.72full record
D'Andre Swift locks down my RB2 before the running-back cliff, with three teams still needing a starter and only five backs left at or above replacement.
Closest call: Tucker Kraft — his 174.4 projection is +10.8 over the TE replacement of 163.6, the best value-over-replacement among my needs — but he carries injury_status Questionable and, with only Team B needing a starting TE, a comparable tight end will still be there at 55; the surviving RB pool at 55 would be 25+ points worse.
Javonte WilliamsR6 · #42 · RB · conf 0.72full record
Taking Javonte Williams, the highest-projected healthy RB left, to secure scarce running-back depth for my FLEX and injury cover.
Closest call: Garrett Wilson (player_id 8146, proj_season_points 224.9), the highest-projected healthy non-QB available — but WR is the deepest position remaining (replacement_points 224 with eight comparable options), so a near-identical WR should survive to pick 55, whereas the RB board drops to Skattebo/Jeanty by then.
Kyle PittsR7 · #55 · TE · conf 0.72full record
Kyle Pitts fills my empty TE slot as the highest-projected healthy tight end left on the board.
Closest call: Tucker Kraft (9484) — higher projection (174.4 vs 171.6) and TE rank 7, but his injury_status is Questionable and the 2.8-point edge does not justify the risk when a healthy equivalent exists.
Bucky IrvingR8 · #58 · RB · conf 0.65full record
Bucky Irving adds healthy RB depth at the scarcest position while my starting lineup is already full.
Closest call: Ashton Jeanty (proj_season_points 200.9, slightly above Irving's 197.3), but his injury_status is Questionable and Irving is a clean depth_chart_order 1 with no flag.
Davante AdamsR9 · #71 · WR · conf 0.75full record
Davante Adams gives Team G its best projected flex/bench asset while kickers and defenses remain plentiful later.
Closest call: TreVeyon Henderson (proj_season_points 171, depth_chart_order 1) was considered as RB depth, but Team G already has 4 RBs per roster_counts_by_team and only 2 WRs, so WR is the bigger need.
Travis KelceR10 · #74 · TE · conf 0.62full record
Take Travis Kelce as the only healthy non-QB available who clears his positional replacement bar while giving Team G TE/FLEX insurance behind Kyle Pitts.
Closest call: Dak Prescott has the highest available projection at 303.88 and ADP 72, but he is only +0.46 over QB replacement_points 303.42 and is redundant behind Josh Allen in a 1-QB lineup.
Courtland SuttonR11 · #87 · WR · conf 0.64full record
Team G adds healthy WR depth with Courtland Sutton instead of reaching for a replacement-level QB or low-spread K/DEF.
Closest call: DK Metcalf was the other serious option because his proj_season_points is 183.3 and depth_chart_order is 1, but his injury_status is Questionable and his preseason line is 0 snaps.
Wan'Dale RobinsonR12 · #90 · WR · conf 0.72full record
Wan'Dale Robinson adds the best healthy bench upside while preserving later picks for mandatory K and DEF slots.
Closest call: Bo Nix was seriously considered because his proj_season_points of 295.72 leads all available players, but Team G already has QB filled at 1/1 and still needs both K and DEF with only three picks remaining after this one.
Denver BroncosR13 · #103 · DEF · conf 0.80full record
pool narrowedWith my pool narrowed to K and DEF, Denver is the only option in the pool that beats its positional replacement baseline, so I lock it in before Team H can take it.
Closest call: Evan McPherson (K, rank 7, proj 156.72) — the top-projected kicker, but passing on Denver risks falling to NE (125.93) or PHI (122.99) at DEF, while three equal 156.72 kickers mean a K will still be there at 106.
Tyler LoopR14 · #106 · K · conf 0.80full record
pool narrowedWith the pool narrowed to kickers, I take Tyler Loop, the highest-projected available K at replacement level.
Closest call: Evan McPherson (7839) — identical proj_season_points of 156.72, but lower last_season_points (136 vs 144) and a week 6 bye versus Loop's week 13, which is easier to cover via waivers late in the season.
Patrick MahomesR15 · #119 · QB · conf 0.75full record
With every starting slot filled, I spend my final pick on the highest-projected player remaining, Patrick Mahomes, because QB is the only position where I roster just one player.
Closest call: Jordan Love (player_id 6804), the healthy QB alternative with proj_season_points 278.52 and injury_status null — I passed because he projects ~8 points lower than Mahomes and Mahomes' Questionable tag only matters for week 1, whereas I am stashing him for a later spot start.

Every rehearsal pick, and why (15 from 2025)
Bijan RobinsonR1 · #6 · RB · conf 0.80full record
Bijan Robinson is the best blend of projection, ADP value, and positional need on the board at 6.
Closest call: Joe Burrow (player_id 6770), who has the top raw projection on the board at 331.24, but his adp of 46 and the 1-QB roster requirement mean equivalent QB production (Mahomes, 327.02, adp 72) is available many rounds later, while passing on Bijan costs me the last top-tier RB.
⚑ available: Bijan Robinson adp 4 — taking him at pick_overall 6 is at or better than market value, while Joe Burrow (adp 46) at 6 would be a 40-spot reach — value(s) not in DATA: 40
⚑ QB replacement value is cheap: Patrick Mahomes proj_season_points 327.02 at adp 72 is only 4.22 points below Burrow's 331.24, so the QB edge over what I can get later is minimal — value(s) not in DATA: 4.22
Joe BurrowR2 · #11 · QB · conf 0.72full record
Team F takes Joe Burrow at 11, locking in the highest-projected player in the pool before the QB-needy teams behind me can.
Closest call: Ashton Jeanty (player_id 12527, RB, proj 281.8, adp 11) — he matches pick 11 on ADP and would complete RB 2/2, but I already have Bijan Robinson (current_roster) at RB and RB2 can wait a round, whereas the QB cliff after Mahomes cannot.
⚑ available: Joe Burrow proj_season_points 331.24 — the highest projection in the pool, 49.44 points above the best non-QB (Ashton Jeanty 281.8) — value(s) not in DATA: 49.44
⚑ your_remaining_picks: my next pick is 22, and roster_counts_by_team shows Team D has no QB and picks at 13 and 20, while Teams G and H also have no QB and pick at 23-26 before my pick 27 — only 2 QBs (Burrow, Mahomes) exist in the available pool, so waiting risks losing both — value(s) not in DATA: 13, 20, 23, -26
Amon-Ra St. BrownR3 · #22 · WR · conf 0.65full record
With QB locked (Joe Burrow) and zero WRs on the roster, I take the highest-projected available non-QB, Amon-Ra St. Brown, to fill my 0/2 WR hole.
Closest call: Brian Thomas (player_id 11631): nearly identical proj_season_points (273.8 vs 274.2) and a better adp (16 vs 20), but St. Brown's higher raw projection is the tiebreaker under the RULEBOOK's instruction to score against the scoring table, not draft capital.
Chase BrownR4 · #27 · RB · conf 0.68full record
Chase Brown is the best value on the board and locks in my RB2 with a top-10 ADP player at pick 27.
Closest call: A.J. Brown (player_id 5859) — the highest-projected non-QB available at 253.5 and a fill for my WR 1/2 need, but his adp of 35 means no value gain at 27, and WR-needy Teams G and H (2 WRs each already) are more likely to spend their coming picks on QB and TE, giving WRs a slightly better chance to slide than the adp-8/10 RBs.
Sam LaPortaR5 · #38 · TE · conf 0.70full record
Taking Sam LaPorta now because TE scarcity is real — Teams G and H hold picks 39-42 with zero QBs and zero TEs — while an equally-projected WR will still be there at 43.
Closest call: Terry McLaurin (5927): highest-projected non-QB in the pool at 234.7 and a strong value at adp 34 falling to 38, but his production is duplicated by Harrison (234.8), whereas LaPorta's 182.4 at TE is not replaceable once G and H pick four times.
⚑ roster_counts_by_team: Team G {"RB":2,"WR":2} and Team H {"RB":2,"WR":2} have no QB and no TE, and draft_board shows they own picks 39, 40, 41, 42 — four picks that can cleanly absorb both available QBs (Murray 313.86, Purdy 311.72) and both TEs before my next pick at 43. — value(s) not in DATA: 40, 41, 42
⚑ LaPorta (182.4) + a 234.7 WR at 43 beats McLaurin (234.7) + an unknown replacement-level TE later, and also beats the best-case McLaurin + Hockenson (176) outcome at 410.7 combined. — value(s) not in DATA: 410.7
Davante AdamsR6 · #43 · WR · conf 0.75full record
Davante Adams fills my only open skill-slot starter (WR2) with the best projection-to-ADP value left on the board.
Closest call: Marvin Harrison — same positional need and a nominally higher projection (234.8 vs 234), but his adp of 83 versus Adams' 57 means the market grades Adams a full tier higher, and a 0.8-point projection edge is noise.
⚑ Adams proj_season_points 234 is effectively tied with Marvin Harrison's 234.8 (a 0.8-point gap), but Adams' adp 57 vs Harrison's adp 83 shows a 26-spot market consensus edge at equal projection — value(s) not in DATA: 0.8
⚑ roster_counts_by_team shows Team D at WR 1 — a direct competitor for this exact WR pool picking at 45 and 52 before my next pick at 54, so passing on WR now risks losing both viable WR2 options — value(s) not in DATA: 45, 52
DJ MooreR7 · #54 · WR · conf 0.65full record
DJ Moore fills my empty FLEX slot with the highest-projected starter-eligible player on the board.
Closest call: Tony Pollard (5967): his adp of 49 makes him the best ADP value on the board at pick 54 and he would give me a third startable RB, but his 212.0 projection trails Moore's 219.5 and a full-PPR WR carries the safer weekly floor for head-to-head play.
⚑ roster_counts_by_team shows Team G and Team H (picks 55-58) each have 0 QB and 0 TE (RB 3, WR 3), so they must chase Purdy/Mayfield/Hockenson/Engram, likely leaving Moore/Pickens/Pollard untouched before my next pick at 59. — value(s) not in DATA: 55, -58
⚑ K and DEF can wait: your_remaining_picks include 102, 107, 118 (rounds 13-15), and RULEBOOK pool narrowing from round 13 would force K/DEF only if still unfilled, so spending pick 54 on Brandon Aubrey (183.65) or Denver DEF (150) sacrifices ~36-70 projected points versus Moore. — value(s) not in DATA: -15, -70
Tony PollardR8 · #59 · RB · conf 0.72full record
Team F takes Tony Pollard, the best ADP value on the board, to lock in RB depth and a strong FLEX option.
Closest call: Calvin Ridley (player_id 4981) — highest non-QB projection at 213.4, but his adp 71 means he could plausibly fall to my pick at 70, and WR is already my deepest position with three rostered.
⚑ Tony Pollard (available: player_id 5967) has proj_season_points 212 with adp 49 — falling 10 spots past his ADP to pick_overall 59, the best value-versus-ADP of any non-QB remaining. — value(s) not in DATA: 5967
⚑ Calvin Ridley's proj_season_points 213.4 beats Pollard's 212 by only 1.4 season points — a negligible gap that positional scarcity (RB over a fourth WR) breaks in Pollard's favor. — value(s) not in DATA: 1.4
Brock PurdyR9 · #70 · QB · conf 0.70full record
Team F grabs Brock Purdy, the highest-projected player left on the board, locking in a guaranteed answer for Joe Burrow's bye week and elite QB insurance.
Closest call: Travis Hunter (player_id 12530), the top non-QB at 199 projected points, because full PPR makes WR depth valuable; passed because he slots in as my WR4 behind St. Brown, Adams, and Moore, and the drop from Hunter to Pacheco (191.8) or Golden (198.9) at pick 75 is tiny compared with the cliff after Purdy and Nix at QB.
⚑ available: Brock Purdy proj_season_points 311.72 is the top projection in the pool by 112 points over the best non-QB (Travis Hunter, 199). — value(s) not in DATA: 112
⚑ Scarcity: roster_counts_by_team shows Team G with QB count 0, and G picks at 71 and 74 before my next selection (your_remaining_picks starts at 75); G could plausibly take both Purdy and Bo Nix (310.48), clearing the only two 310+ QBs off the board. — value(s) not in DATA: 71, 310
Deebo SamuelR10 · #75 · WR · conf 0.72full record
Deebo Samuel is the best non-QB value on the board, falling from ADP 66 to pick 75 with the highest flex-eligible projection in the pool.
Closest call: David Montgomery (player_id 5892, adp 70, proj_season_points 182.1) — also a fall past his ADP and would give me a fourth RB, but his projection trails Deebo's by 16.5 points and his ADP discount (5 picks) is smaller than Deebo's (9 picks).
⚑ roster_needs: K 0/1 and DEF 0/1 remain open, but RULEBOOK states that from round 13 the pool narrows to positions I still need, and I hold picks 102, 107, and 118 in rounds 13-15 to fill K and DEF — value(s) not in DATA: -15
Cameron DickerR11 · #86 · K · conf 0.70full record
I take Cameron Dicker, the highest-projected kicker, to fill my empty K slot before the K/DEF run by Teams G and H leaves me with a weekly zero.
Closest call: Philadelphia Eagles DEF (player_id PHI) — same roster-construction logic of filling a required empty slot, but Dicker's proj_season_points 158.87 beats the Eagles' 149.94, and the K pool (2 options for 6 K-less teams) is at least as scarce as DEF.
⚑ Scarcity: the available pool contains only 2 kickers, and roster_counts_by_team shows Team G and Team H each have no K and no DEF; they hold picks 87, 88, 89, 90 before my next pick at 91 (your_remaining_picks), so both kickers could be gone if I pass. — value(s) not in DATA: 87, 88, 89
Philadelphia EaglesR12 · #91 · DEF · conf 0.80full record
I lock up the Philadelphia Eagles DEF now, because it is my only unfilled starting slot and the two available defenses will not survive the 10 picks before my next turn.
Closest call: Stefon Diggs (player_id 2449, proj_season_points 183.6) — the best available skill player, but he would sit behind St. Brown, Adams, Moore, and Samuel, and passing on DEF here risks a 0-point starting slot all season with six other DEF-needy teams and only two DEFs in the pool.
⚑ your_remaining_picks = [102, 107, 118] — ten picks (92-101) sit between this pick and my next one, with DEF-needy Teams E, D, B, and A all drafting in that window, so both DEFs are very likely gone by pick 102. — value(s) not in DATA: 92, -101
David NjokuR13 · #102 · TE · conf 0.70full record
Taking David Njoku at 102 to cover my only zero-depth starting slot — TE behind Sam LaPorta — with the top available tight end.
Closest call: J.K. Dobbins (proj_season_points 162.5, higher than Njoku's 159.5) as a fourth RB behind Bijan Robinson, Chase Brown, and Tony Pollard — but I already have 3 RBs for 2 RB slots plus FLEX eligibility, while TE has no backup at all, and Dobbins is guaranteed to still be on the board at 107 because picks 103-106 belong to K/DEF-locked Teams G and H.
⚑ Njoku's proj_season_points of 159.5 is the best among available TEs (Tucker Kraft is 154.5) and within 11.3 points of the top non-QB available, Rashid Shaheed at 170.8 — under one point per week. — value(s) not in DATA: 11.3
⚑ roster_counts_by_team shows Team G and Team H each with 0 K and 0 DEF, so under the round-13 narrowing rule their picks at 103, 104, 105, 106 are restricted to K/DEF only — every position player, including J.K. Dobbins (162.5) and Shaheed, will still be available at my next pick, 107. — value(s) not in DATA: -13, 105, 106
Rashid ShaheedR14 · #107 · WR · conf 0.62full record
With every starting slot already filled, I take the highest-projected flex-eligible player left, Rashid Shaheed, as pure bench value.
Closest call: Michael Pittman (6819): his adp of 99 is 16 slots earlier than Shaheed's 115, but his proj_season_points of 169.0 trails Shaheed's 170.8, and projection against the RULEBOOK scoring table is the only performance metric provided, so Shaheed wins.
⚑ current_roster already contains two QBs (Joe Burrow 6770, Brock Purdy 8183); the RULEBOOK states bench players score nothing and trades are not available this season, so Trevor Lawrence's 290.7 proj_season_points has almost no usable value to me. — value(s) not in DATA: 6770, 8183
⚑ your_remaining_picks is [118], and 10 picks (108-117) sit between now and then, so I cannot count on Shaheed surviving; I take him now rather than at 118. — value(s) not in DATA: 108, -117
Matthew StaffordR15 · #118 · QB · conf 0.70full record
With only a bench slot left to fill, I take the highest-projected player on the board, Matthew Stafford, as elite insurance behind Burrow and Purdy.
Closest call: Jared Goff (player_id 3163), whose proj_season_points of 278.14 is nearly identical to Stafford's 279 and whose adp of 86 represents a bigger fall; I sided with Stafford strictly on the higher projection, the only scoring-relevant field in the data.
