Good question - I've never done much draft vs final rank analysis on my teams. This year I'm in 3 'cigar leagues'. Still alive in only 1:
1. 2nd place reg season, still alive: top 3 picks healthy and starting - most of rest long off the roster
2. Made playoffs, bounced in first round: 4 of top 5 picks healthy and starting (5th is McFadden.) Only late-round contributor is Jordy Nelson (homer pick as much as clairvoyant.)
3. Been within couple spots of bottom all season - 2 of top 3 picks starting (3rd is McFadden.) Rest of draft is garbage - AJ Green in 14th only bright spot. I do wish to tell all that will listen that I had highest 'points-scored-against' .....so it isn't all my fault!!!!!
