The title of the post says drafting third with two bots ahead of me.

1. BOT
2. BOT
3. OP

If there are two guys the OP likes in this draft, the BOT team drafting one has a 2 in 48 chance of drafting one of those guys. Should the #1 team in this draft select one of the two players the OP likes, then the number two team would have to select the other for him to not get one of the two players the OP wants. Where are you getting coming back after drafted? Clearly you are not understanding the question posted or the answer given.

What are the odds the team drafting one selects one of the TWO players the OP wants? 4.2%

What are the odds the team selecting two snags one of the two players the OP wants should the team drafting one not select one? 4.3%

What are the odds the team selecting two selects the other player the OP wants if the team drafting one selects one of the two players the OP wants? 2.1%

The chance that both players the OP wants, are selected by the two BOT teams ahead of him in the draft in which the title of the thread says he is drafting third? 1 in 1,128 or less than a tenth of a percent.

edit for typo, try to keep this as easy for you to understand as possible

his main question was about getting his first pick, and you replied to a post who calculates the chanche for the first pick and said he is wrong, and now you want to answer his question in () ;) So obviously i missed the point, where you changed the topic.
ANd don't get back to it, in your explanation, sorry for this^^

Edit: after reading it again it should have bin clear for me, big sorry. The first post wasn't even corecting for the first answer, and stated the second one.
