In any draft, somebody has to go first. In our pool, we each pull numbers out of a hat. If you end up picking last, as I did, that's just the way it goes. I like to think drafting first isn't that bit of an advantage, but crunching the numbers thus far suggests otherwise.
The current top four in the pool were also the first four to draft. I'm not using that as an excuse because I drafted last. Draw your own conclusions.
