Self Evaluating turns into self deprecating!

Tyrell Maclachlan jumps in his 1st 2020 best ball of the off season drafting out of the 1 08 slot

- with that in mind we're here more to mine the early player value 

Concentrating on one thing like a fantasy draft with a 1 minute clock is not Ty's strong suit

Throughout the draft some of the topics that Ty rambles and jumps back and fourth between include:

 How to attack early best ball drafts/ Draft position and looking ahead in the early rounds 

Most important were really interested in ADP/ ADP for these 2020 Rookies 

Early BB debate! Reaping value vs Rookie fever

- Whatever you're answer... Ty has rookie fever in his 1st chance to get a hold of them 

RB hit rate and WR hit rates talk

Starting runs/ Tier breaks

Roster construction/ Team balance/ Stacking

Is early TE the way to go?

Ty is heated over possibly blowing his 2nd round pick

- His QB and TE positions don't fare so well

Late round targets

... Oh and he may have taken too many rookies
