Fantasy football is a wildly successful game. Between the scores of Vegas draft days, ESPN?s and CBS?s pages and pages of fantasy analysis, draft lobbies that pop up every 5-10 minutes, and the success that has transferred to the TV set ? The League?s backdrop involves a group of friends running a fantasy league ? it isn?t surprising to find out that fantasy football is a? multimillion dollar market.
So you might be interested in running a draft with your friends. If you wake up suddenly during the draft, what will undoubtedly happen is that you?ll be heckled mercilessly by your friends:
?I can?t believe you just took that wide receiver over Michael Vick.?
?You know LaDanian Tomlinson is no longer a good football player? Right? Riiight???
?Player X (whom you just selected) tore his ACL two months ago.?
Ouch.
Even though the truth is that blindly stabbing at players probably works better, you should take a look at a draft board. By bringing a Top 200 board to your draft, you can both easily locate how your players tier out (I don?t want anything worse than player X), how your board stacks up to that of top analysts?, and who exactly is going to be drafted in the next few rounds. I spent countless hours tweaking my predraft board, and although you?d be crazy to follow it (I mean, who picks Jones-Drew over Ray Rice?), I hope it at the very least serves as a benchmark for your own Board of 200. The link lies below:

Happy Drafting!
