I realize that it's all a big guessing game and trades are going to screw things up a lot, however, this is what I came up with. My goal was to match the correct player with the correct team, no matter where they pick in the draft.
My record for the most correct guesses is 9 out of 32. That doesn't sound like a wonderful record normally, but in this case, it's pretty dang good. I will be hoping that I got at least 10 correct this year.
Let me know what you think. Do you think you can do better? Give it a try, let's see.
