So then from what I can gather, what you are saying is that my "player 6" on my draft list who I have ranked #1, is not the "player 6" on everyone else's draft list right?

Being the top seed and 16th pick, that would suck if the team that dosnt even play anymore has his auto draft list set to standard and gets the player I want, even though he has put in no scouting at all.

I understand that but I spent a lot of money on scouting and have scouted 43 players and 19 of them twice. I figured that would give me an advantage come draft time, even though I was drafting late, because the rest of the league on average scouted 1.5 players per week per team. As it turns out I will have no advantage whatsoever because while not every good player will be seen by each team they will all be seen by at least a few teams and thus be gone by the time I get around to picking.

I guess my question is if you are a good team what advantage does spending a lot of money on scouting give you? Because as far as I can tell there isn't any.

I think that is true with the players are different order in the draft board. I looked at last years draft in my league and everyone in the top 6 got their first selection pick. The further down they went, they got there 2nd or 3rd choice. None of the teams in the first round were lower than than their 4th choice. The lowest choice was a team got there 23rd choice in the third round.

in this case you think he wasn't true right, because in this scenario is was usefull to get information about the strong players :) But with an active league, maybe with a bit higher draft investments, it could become not usefull to spend a lot as a top pick - i drafted on position 7 last season and get my 5th pick, the weakest pick in round one was the 10th choice.

But i would say especially when you draft late it is important to find a lot good players, because in the first position you usually get a good pcik and maybe just need 3 good players scouted.
