Here is AI's take:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/ed8b8674-d1ff-4afd-a872-152e74455682

It seems like the issue is 7-12 is getting hurt by the all Bs, but not 1-6.

Interesting, but that was my take because picks 7-12 are not difference makers like 1-6 clearly are.

Haha we could’ve done regular snake for 6-24 and moved 5-1 at the end of every round after the first.

and I am including #6 with 7-12. I only see an elite top5.

So the way I see it, the worst place to be in this draft is pick #12. Who had that spot?

I appreciate AI weighing in. Did you feed it data and the draft format? It seems like its responding to a standard snake.

Yes, agreed with Ben, Chewy, and AI/HDS1 as the person selecting 7th, I see a massive drop-off after the first 5. But time will tell!

Also, if no one else has an issue with the format, I'm cool with it. I just thought it was overkill.

Since I'm not in the discord chat because I was kicked out for no apparent reason, I am at a disadvantageous to any communication happening. Has anyone brought up the unsnakelike format of this draft being too harsh on the top? I get the big advantage of drafting early but all Bs? Seems like at least one A in the later rounds would be more fair.
We did one round starting with A previously and it was still too lopsided towards the early picks. If this format doesn't work, adding clones is only way to make this theme work.
Yeah, last season was ABBABB and all the best teams were at the top. The finals were picks 1-2. We thought this format would help. We'll see.

I just gave it the draft spot and the wins totals for the two previous iterations. It didn’t give any roster data. It made the call on its own to break it out into 6 pick ranges.

Since I'm in the top 5 and I can't seem to win anymore, I'm confident that adding this year's data will skew it back

I didn't realize Allen Iverson cared so much about our draft!
