Like the real thing, one wrong move in a fantasy football mock draft can sink the whole ship before it departs.
This seems to grow truer by the year as well thanks to the wealth of information and tools out there for owners to use before and during a draft. Call it an arms race of sorts, where those who best use a combination of tools and time management often come out ahead.
Going into 2018 drafts, a blend of proper value and an understanding of the far-reaching rules of draft strategy will best set up an owner for contention.
