Your Draft Plan

Round by round for a standard league (12 teams, assumed — we could not read your league size). Each round shows who should be on the board at your pick, the defense share (drafting D early is usually a mistake unless the round is D-heavy), and whether a value tier runs dry mid-round — the moment to reach.

Generic plan — link a league above and the rounds re-cut to its real scoring and size.
