So I completed my first ever superflex draft last night and would love some feedback from folks more familiar with the format.

Drafted tenth, ten-team snake. Superflex, .5 PPR, redraft

QB, RB, RB, WR, WR Flex, SF, D/ST

Draft went as follows:

Pick - Player
10 Patrick Mahomes KC, QB
11 Deshaun Watson Hou, QB
30 Mike Evans TB, WR
31 Keenan Allen LAC, WR
50 Phillip Lindsay Den, RB
51 Cooper Kupp LAR, WR
70 Marlon Mack Ind, RB
71 Hunter Henry LAC, TE
90 Derrius Guice Wsh, RB
91 Josh Allen Buf, QB
110 Curtis Samuel Car, WR
111 Royce Freeman Den, RB
130 Justice Hill Bal, RB
131 Dante Pettis SF, WR
150 DK Metcalf Sea, WR
151 Browns D/ST Cle, D/ST

With a final roster of:

QB: Mahomes, Watson, JAllen
RB: Lindsay, Mack, Guice, RFreeman, Justice Hill
WR: Evans, Keenan, Kupp, DK, Pettis, Samuel
TE: Henry
D/ST: CLE

Thoughts?

Kinda second-guessing that back-to-back QB at 10/11, as my team is lacking in most other areas compared to other teams. Will my Mahomes/Watson duo make up for my lack of a true RB1 or elite WR1?

Short answer: Yes. Your QBs will make up for not having elite RBs.

Longer answer: Having two tier-one QBs (are arguably the top 2 QBs) does two things. First, it gives you a massive leg up against everyone else. Second, unlike RB, WR, and TE, the number of QBs is finite. So you are simultaneously limiting your opponents to far lesser options. And Allen is a fantastic third QB when you have two locked in at the top as you do.

One more advantage: I am SURE that there was a run or two during the draft of lesser or mediocre QBs. That's why some of the skill position players that you have fell to you. People had to overdraft QBs simply to fill the SF slot, leaving you with value later.

As for your WRs, that's a great starting trio -- hands down. So you don't have Hopkins, Adams, or JuJu. Big deal; it's a great trio.

I like Henry. Not sure that I love the double-up with Allen, but so be it. I'm guessing that you got him for value.

Your RBs are fine. They're good enough to keep your team highly competitive if they are the weak spot, which they are compared to the rest of your roster. But, going back to the short answer, the QBs that you have MORE than make up for it.

Bottom line: I LOVE your team.

More awesome stuff

Thanks for the detailed write-up, I really appreciate the input! It def makes me feel better heading into the season.

As for Allen/Henry, Allen fell to me at the top of the fourth and was obviously fantastic value there. I grabbed Henry at the top of the eighth as the eighth TE off the board. At that point it was Henry or essentially nobody as all the other names were taken.

I feel like value fell to me at basically every pick; being at the turn is my favorite draft spot.
