@@frontofficepros However, I've seen managers who keep holding their money after the first 1/3 of the draft do well. Many teams will spend a lot for studs and when you need those high potential players who can breakout, those who hold are gobbling them up. The point is....there are several ways to attack an auction draft. I think the best strategy is to come with a clear plan, meaning who are the players you want and think will be breakouts, rank them, and then acclimate to how the draft is going, be flexible. I've won many championships by knowing my targets and what I'll pay for them and saving some money for the end (but definitely using all my cash).
There are a ton of strategies on how to manage your it budget in an auction draft. We wanted to highlight multiple approaches to give viewers a different perspective on which strategy they want to use. Especially those who may be new to auction. Your strategy makes a ton of sense and we personally tend to use a similar approach as you.
@@frontofficepros I see auction drafts more like playing chess whereas snake drafts as checkers. The complexity makes it a whole different experience and definitely more interactive and fun.
Glad you listened to the explanation and that it made more sense after hearing what Joe said. We would never recommend zeroing in on a player without checks and balances.
We agree with you, that’s too much to spend for one player. This was more so for the exercise with a studs and duds strategy to see how a team would come out with having the top stud
Which team did you like better from the auction mock draft - Steve or Joe?
You should target two or three studs where you have about $80 or more left....hopefully.
In a studs and duds approach that sounds about accurate where you are spending roughly $60 per 2 studs or $40 per 3 studs

We agree entirely! We will always endorse an auction draft experience over a snake draft experience. That’s a good analogy!
I was part of this draft. When you took CMC for 91 I was like “WTF is this guy doing?” 😂😂
Hahaha yeah that was a lot of money Joe spent but takes two to tango!
@@frontofficepros after hearing his explanation it makes a lot more sense. Good example to show people what not to do lol.

@@frontofficepros I’m all about auctions. You guys have some good content on the subject. 🤙🏼
Thanks so much! We appreciate the support 😁
If you spent $91 on one player in my money league, I'd laugh so hard knowing there's one team I don't need to worry about. LOL

It's a mock, have a little fun
All about trying different thought exercises to fine-tune your strategy!
$11 for Pitts might be low-key fantastic
Agreed! For some reasons, Pitts continues to go low in mocks. Should be interesting to see if that changes over the course of August
