HOURLONG TV SHOW* DRAFT
*I didn’t realize Sherlock was a 90-minute show and I binged Weeds so I completely forgot it was 30 minutes. Those were unintentional exceptions here.

In the world of fantasy drafts, it is rare to categorize any pick in the first round as an unadulterated “steal,” but in this case it happened. This is one of those instances when said “steal” could only occur if you were the expert in a league full of complete dolts and/or time travelers from any point in history before the invention of TV…nay, the invention of story-telling. There isn’t a single auto-draft setting or ECR mock draft algorithm that would EVER allow “The Wire” to fall to pick #4.
If I signed up for fantasy league and watched Mike Trout fall to pick #4, I’d immediately quit. Waste of time and energy.
A man got to have a code…
This is objectively correct. No one blew it with their first round pick, but The Wire at the backend turn is a huge advantage for Danielle
