Since I was in all 6 of the last round of KOTD, I tracked draft position and counted the number of wins per draft position across all 6 leagues. Drafting 3rd is apparently the worst. But one owner who drafted 3rd in both of his leagues was an outlier with his low number of wins, so I threw them out averaged the other 4. But with an average of 74.8 wins, it's still the lowest. But that could also be attributed to the smaller sample size.
What's more interesting was the number of teams that won at least 84 games (qualified for the next round) and you'll see more of a bell curve. It looks like teams that had middle pick were more likely to qualify for the next round. Also, you could be successful at any round (the highest # of wins are highlighted). My favorite is SophieGiants's lone entry into the KOTD. Picking 12th, SG employed a unique drafting approach and ended up winning more games than any other team in the 6 leagues with 107 wins. The other 5 teams who drafted 12th averaged 73.2 wins.
