Much Needed

Been following Drew for awhile now. He’s an Auction Draft degenerate and unfortunately, we do not have enough of those guys around. His knowledge and advice is always on point. His desire to get people into Auction Drafts is a game changer. On top of that, the legal breakdowns of players potential charges and suspension outcomes is incredibly important and useful.
