Although I truly appreciate a team that likes to throw the ball,
I cannot fathom a team that chooses a FB over a CB in this pass happy league format. Sure, the FB will provide pass protection, but the CB will help defend against a speedy WR and a pass happy Offense.
Just my opinion

How did you keep up with your previous allocation drafts? If there is a better way for us to do this, please say so.

This is the usual pace. I've done a few of them, it's always the same days. 4 picks on day 1 and 2, then it picks up the pace. I don't know if you have the option to change it...

I use the manual priority list for when I will be sleeping or working. What I do when I have time, like tonight, I scout the players and write down the players I want along with some key rating numbers added up, and I group them by position. Then I compare numbers and load up the list. Then when I'm done, I drive myself crazy tweaking it.

I do this because after 9 months my player weights still aren't exactly how I want them. If they were I could just go down the list and pick the player with the best rating. I have adjusted my weights so many times, I just try to get it close to what I like and then zero in on the key attributes. When I adjust the ratings to the key attributes only, I like the results even less.

My way is tedious, time consuming, and drives me crazy but I love it. I feel like Bill Parcells shopping for groceries lmao.

Yeah I'm starting to burn out a bit did 2 Created league drafts already and 3 currently with another starting in 3 days. Not to mention the drafts from all my other leagues including one currently. I'm starting to feel the strain from being in so many leagues, but I can't help it, I love football.

This is my first allocation draft, and since I have the time to be home (I'm a teacher, so I'm off for the summer), I pretty much put my manual list together of who I might want and let the chips fall where they may. I make the list long enough so that I can step away and not worry about not getting someone I wanted for my team. So far I feel like my draft has gone pretty well, although I would've held off taking my P when I did. I won't complain though- I'm just ready for the games to start!!

No, they're all patterned the same. I want to say that at its worst it gets to that 1 hour and 8 minutes window between picks and that's just painful but a necessity to get it completed.
