We just did a 14 person draft tonight and I figured I would break it down round by round. It was a snake draft and each person ended up with 4 players. It’s important to note that these picks were made after the table draws were released so most people strategically put more value on players who they deemed to have softer tables

Twice Henrik Latz took the player I was going after. First with Dan Colman, than in the third round Ankush Mandavia. Seems to me like its arguably the best overall team drafted:
Dan Colman, Isaac Haxton, Ankush Mandavia, Tony G
I really had no intention of drafting myself but when Ankush went right in front of me, I was between Sam Soveral and Stefan Schillhabel and I just wasn’t comfortable taking either pick in that spot, so I figured, what the heck, I’ll draft myself despite not drawing the best table for day one. Anything can happen, though, and I don’t really mind my table draw all that much. I have lots of tough cookies at my table, but also a decent grasp of what to expect.
Wish me luck!
