2019 NFBC Early Draft Results

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay, the 2019 NFBC drafting season has already begun and we have multiple Draft Champions leagues close to finishing. Heck, the first Fast DC Draft got done in just over two days as those guys cruised through 750 picks in about 50 hours. Amazing.

Let's whet your appetites with some draft results and keep them coming on this thread through March. We'll only post the first six rounds in these drafts, but that will get the juices flowing, I promise.

We will do this for all of our drafts going forward as long as time permits, so look for 15-team league results, 12-team league results and 10-team league results here. You can see your complete results when you draft by clicking on your team link, going to Draft in the above navigation bar and pulling down to Results. Enjoy.

You won't be able to see complete draft results of other leagues until after the season. Then we'll allow you to compare your drafts to other drafts. Hope that helps. Now enjoy these results, starting with the first completed NFBC $150 Draft Champions league of the season:

[Thurman15]

My thoughts are that starting pitchers are picked at a wicked pace in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Only a couple usually go in Round 1, but by the end of the 3rd round if you waited, you are not getting an ace. One draft had almost 9 straight starting pitcher picks in the 3rd round. The other thing to note is if you don't get # 1 or # 2, you may get your guy at 7 or 8 or 9 etc. Because after Betts-Trout, there are may different orders in the 3 to 10 range.
