Annual 5-man Lineup Draft Results

A couple years ago Eraulli (EVR1022) and myself did a fun thought exercise where drafted 5 man lineups for 30 teams. The first round is as you would expect, you go team by team picking the person you want to build your team around. Each subsequent round started with Team 30 (the last pick in the first round) and worked it's way back up. We've found that this creates less of a talent disparity among the lineups.

This was the 3rd year we've done the draft. What started as just something fun to kill time has become an annual tradition, adding more posters to the draft each time. This year Eraulli, Jookbooks, DoThaRightThing, myself, and the lineup man himself mikeytp each drafted 6 teams. In order to ensure more unbiased opinions, I am opting to leave the names of who drafted each set of teams out until after some discussion.
