Fanasty Football: One Man's Road Through an Auction Draft

This is a little perspective on my experience in a Dynasty Auction League Draft.

I feel in order to have a successful auction draft you must set budgets for all of your positions and stick to them throughout the draft. My budget coming into this draft was as follows along with players I expected to see at those budgeted amounts:

            QB1- $40 – Aaron Rodgers

            QB2- $1

            QB3- $1

            RB1- $40 – Clinton Portis, Marshawn Lynch

            RB2- $30 – Kevin Smith, Ronnie Brown

            RB3- $15 – Cedric Benson, Jamal Lewis

            RB4- $1

            RB5- $1

            WR1-$35 – 13 Different WR’s

            WR2-$20 – Chad Ochocinco, Braylon Edwards

            WR3-$1

            WR4-$1

            WR5-$1

            WR6-$1

            TE1- $10 – Chris Cooley

            K1-    $1

            Def    $1

My goal with this budget was to get Aaron Rodgers at QB because I think he is the best young QB in football today. I felt that a $40 budget for him would be plenty of overkill to get him so he was my first nomination and I landed him for $31. I thought, "$9 extra for the bench, that’s awesome."
