Draft Slots

Anyone complaing about their draft pick is a little bitch.
You can win from any spot, easily. The #1 pick can (at best) get it right and pick the #1 overall player. Everyone else in the first round has a chance to pick a player who is better than they should get.
If you fail to pick that player, you're probably a sheep who followed ADP or a crappy manager who failed to identify value or injury risk. If these things are true, why would you think having a different pick changes that? You're donating money anyway if you can't value players or make creative picks and put a team together.
At #15 slot your job is to find value and build a team with stats you can't find as easily later. So you get Manny Ramirez instead of Pujols? Ok, find a way to make up the .20 batting avg. and 10 runs, 5 HR and 15 RBI... guess what you get to pick again so make it count. Pick something that the guys picking top 5 can't find in the same quantity and off we go - look at you, you're drafting.
Stop being little whiny schoolgirls and spend your time studying how to build a team. If you fail at the end of the draft you'd have failed anywhere else, too. You just have a pretty little excuse to make yourself feel better.
Nice job, princess...
