Here’s how my draft went.

This draft was in a 12-team format which means there were 300 total picks. That also means that two more players went in each round which is why some players may appear to have gone really early.

There are a number of really good players on this team, but had I been drafting I definitly would have gone in a more well-rounded direction.

Here is how the team shakes out by round, team, and overall draft position, and their average draft position (ADP). The ADP is determined by fantasy pros and is determined by the spot the player is going in ESPN leagues.

  1. Bryce Harper, Nationals OF, 4th overall, ADP = 3
  2. Edwin Encarnacion, Blue Jays 1B, 21st overall, ADP = 14
  3. Jose Abreu, White Sox 1B, 28th overall, ADP = 19
  4. Nelson Cruz, Mariners OF, 45th overall, ADP = 43
  5. Brian Dozier, Twins 2B, 52nd overall, ADP = 48
  6. Kyle Schwarber, Cubs C/OF, 69th overall, ADP = 57
  7. Eric Hosmer, Royals 1B, 76th overall, ADP = 76
  8. Ben Revere, Nationals OF, 93rd overall, ADP = 91
  9. Ken Giles, Astros RP, 100th overall, ADP = 85
  10. Zach Britton, Orioles RP, 117th overall, ADP = 105
  11. Jeff Samardzija, Giants SP, 124th overall, ADP = 117
  12. Brad Ziegler, Diamondbacks RP, 141st overall, ADP = 143
  13. Michael Pineda, Yankees SP, 148th overall, ADP = 147
  14. Wei-Yin Chen, Marlins SP, 165th overall, ADP = 167
  15. Justin Turner, Dodgers 3B, 172nd overall, ADP = 162
  16. Kyle Hendricks, Cubs SP/RP, 189th overall, ADP = 190
  17. Steven Souza Jr, Rays OF, 19th overall, ADP = 204
  18. Brandon Phillips, Reds 2B, 213th overall, ADP = 194
  19. Alcides Escobar, Royals SS, 220th overall, ADP = 205
  20. Taijuan Walker, Mariners SP, 237th overall, ADP = 261
  21. Ryan Zimmerman, Nationals 1B, 244th overall, ADP = 246
  22. Kevin Kiermaier, Rays OF, 261st overall, ADP = 280
  23. Eduardo Rodriguez, Red Sox SP, 268th overall, ADP = 259
  24. Anthony DeScalfani, Reds SP/RP, 285th overall, ADP = 279
  25. Devon Travis, Blue Jays 2B, 292nd overall, ADP = 272

There are some real power players in this bunch and even some good sleepers and value buys near the end.

Let’s look at the strengths and weaknesses of the team along with the players I really like and the ones I really hate.
