I think if you have a good handle on what an "appropriate" value is for players, it can help you from overspending and also finding good value when it is there to be had. Its tough though just like in a redraft. If a WR is valued at $20 but i think he will be better, its hard to pin down a $ amount of how better he will be whereas its easier to say i can take him round 4 instead of his round 5 adp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other owners see you "overpaying" while you are getting good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to bump a guy a round or 2 higher bc you know who you’re putting ahead of him but the auction system isn’t conducive to that logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be outliers, just like in a snake draft where a player falls a round or so past his ADP and then some that are taken a round or so ahead of their ADP. 10-14 owners will not agree on the player valuations regardless of the format...draft vs auction. It ultimately comes down to your values and getting good value when you see it and passing on "bad value" if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love them but its nice to hear varying opinions. Some mock auctions are crap just like standard leagues like really you spent 150 on Gurley and Bell?
