I play against the Rams D and Kupp on opening night. Love me another classic 40-point hole before the first Sunday.

Threadmark might be good for these, we can look back at how much our teams changed/how our draft was.
Also, @entropy why do like 6 out of your 10 starters (all in a row as well) have first names which start with D?!

Amended.
I have to say based solely on draft process and roster management I don’t like Sleeper as much as the ESPN app.
I think for redraft leagues, ESPN is actually decent.
Yeah Sleeper sucks.
It's unacceptable that teams are allowed to complete draft without filling all required roster positions. If Def and K are part of the roster, make sure every team picks one.
I really don't know why you make such a big deal out of that. Roster spots will be filled anyway before Week 1 starts unless a player wants to deprive himself out of ~10-20 points, no one is gonna start without K or D/ST, can assure you that.
It makes a lot of sense to not draft either and go for two high-upside players whose roles are still unclear or whose injury statuses are still up in the air. You wait on the situation until you get more clarity, then drop whoever has become the least useful for a K and/or D/ST.
The variance for kickers is so little anyway that they almost don't matter: the difference between the #1 and #13 kicker last season was 29 points in NFL.com leagues (162 vs 133). However, it was 163 points for WRs and 152 points for RBs. The top 5 kickers were Carlson, Folk, Gay, Boswell and Prater. Their kicker ADP before the start of the season was 9, 20, 13, 17 and 15. Assuming each team in a 12-league team only drafts one kicker, that means 4 of the top 5 kickers last season went undrafted before the start of the season. Why would I waste a pick on that position when I can e.g. draft a player like Pacheco, who might be cut today but who also might be the Chiefs' RB2 come opening weekend, and hence be 100x more valuable for my roster than any kicker?
Besides all that it's standard advice from a lot of "experts" to apply this strategy. Same goes for D/ST, you're likely streaming the position anyway unless you get lucky and have drafted the random defense that will be good that season.

Okay this is the first time am using Sleeper so the first time am doing a draft where the system doesn't force you to pick and fill all roster spots. I didn't do any mock drafts so that probably explains the "shock" factor.
You don't have to explain why a sleeper pick or high-upside pick is better than Def and K. I think almost everyone knows that. My point is all roster spots should be filled. No one should even have an option of holding on to a talent while leaving Def or K blank. Yeah it may be crazy but it should not be allowed.

These are almost always wrong but does this mean I did the perfect draft?Just synced our draft results to my FantasyPros account. It gave these Power Rankings before the start of the season:
It is also allowed on all other platforms. I could have played all season last year without a K and D/ST, simply drop them after the draft and that's that. Your point is that all roster spots should be filled, but all roster spots will definitely be filled when every line-up locks at the start of Week 1, no question about it.
Where can i see the pick order for tonights draft?
Edit: randomised 1 hour prior to draft?!

Bring the pressure on!
Masochist!
It is? I swear I tried to do it when I started out and it wouldn't let me. And yeah, my stance is more about the principle of it as D/ST and K are an afterthought for most. I know a few who prefer to play in leagues with no D/ST and K.
Anyways time for Draft madness round 2
Is it possible to do the randomisation on the ESPN app or will you be doing it outside ?
ESPN takes care of it. You should be able to see the order now

@RobinLFC please threadmark the above post.
So that didnt go according to plan, poor prep this year
Wait so someone has Chase, Swift, Barkley and Pitts? 
Meanwhile I can't even make up who team Sola took in the first round.

Not even sure that’s the best team either.
With you on Sola. Gotta be Deebo or Elliott?
Ugh. Stuff that keeps me up at night.
Wait so someone has Chase, Swift, Barkley and Pitts?
it was Herbert
Wait, hold up, Herbert was taken 2nd overall?
7th
Ever so slightly less baffling I guess, maybe.
The table is in pick order.
Christ almighty
Not even Allen?!
