The draft is on another level when it comes to frustration. There were seasons when I spent a lot accumulating draft points and ended up with an MVP who started with 39 TSP.
OTOH, I have drafted 2 HOF players who ended up being really nice players in years when I invested nothing on the draft.
You probably have to go through the process a couple of times just to understand how it works. But the suggestion to pool draft points and use them next season is a solid one. There is probably a guide on how to identify players in the draft, but I have never found one. You can go to your League page and there is a tab called Draft History. A bot team in your league drafted an ALl Time Great in the 2nd round last season. It must drive NT managers crazy
