This seems fun. I haven't participated much, but I've drafted for six teams in the 2017, 2019, and 2020 seasons. I've drafted a total of 45 guys. Here's my roster. I've classified guys as:

1st - Starter
2nd - Second stringer
Backup - On a roster, but not first or second string. May also be on the practice squad or IR.
OOL - Out of the league.

RB
1st 2017-4-131. - Rain Man -*James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh
1st 2019-3-88. – Rain Man -*Miles Sanders, RB, Penn State
2nd 2020-5-177. - Rain Man - Antonio Gibson, WR, Memphis
2nd 2020-2-45. - Rain Man - Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
Backup 2020-4-138. - Rain Man - Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State
Backup 2017-4-108. - Rain Man -*Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma

Put me in charge of drafting running backs. I've got this. Two solid starters and two rising rookies who will likely start at some point. I've invested a lot in this position, though.

QB
1st 2017-1-12. - Rain Man -*Mitchell Trubisky, QB, UNC
2nd 2020-1-14. - Rain Man - Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
Backup 2019-6-213. – Rain Man -*Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota State

Okay, I should have drafted Mahomes in 2017. I was just playing it by the book. But I didn't trade up for Trubisky, and Herbert is waiting in the wings.

WR
1st 2017-3-96. - Rain Man -*Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
1st 2019-6-200. – Rain Man -*Preston Williams, WR, Colorado State
Backup 2019-6-184. – Rain Man -*Antoine Wesley, WR, Texas Tech
OOL 2017-6-188. - Rain Man -*Travis Rudolph, WR, Florida State

I've invested very little in the WR position and still have two NFL starters. I'm a good skill position drafter.

TE
2nd 2017-5-145. - Rain Man -*Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas
Backup 2019-6-212. – Rain Man -*Dax Raymond, TE, Utah State
Backup 2019-4-127. – Rain Man -*Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&M
Backup 2017-6-200. - Rain Man -*Cole Hikutini, TE, Louisville

I throw low-round darts at TE. I've got one decent backup and a bunch of guys clinging to rosters.

OT
1st 2019-1-11. - Rain Man -*Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma
2nd 2019-4-111. – Rain Man -*Bobby Evans, OT, Oklahoma
2nd 2020-5-161. - Rain Man - Tyre Phillips, OT, Mississippi State
Backup 2017-5-175. - Rain Man -*Aviante Collins, OT, TCU

I put a 1st round pick at OT to get a starting RT. Otherwise, I've got some mid-round potential guys.

G
1st 2017-2-52. - Rain Man -*Pat Elflein, G, Ohio State
Backup 2020-3-96. - Rain Man - Ben Bredeson, G, Michigan
Backup 2020-3-76. - Rain Man - Lucas Niang, OT, TCU

Elflein is starting and I've got a couple of rookies. I've actually invested a fair amount in the guard position.

C
(None drafted)

K
OOL 2019-7-225. - Rain Man -*Matt Gay, K, Utah
OOL 2019-5-163. - Rain Man -*Cole Tracy, K, LSU

I apparently suck at drafting kickers.

FS
1ST 2017-2-33. - Rain Man -*Budda Baker, FS, Washington
OOL 2017-7-239. - Rain Man -*Lorenzo Jerome, S, St. Francis

I made an investment in Baker, but it paid off. He's been good.

SS
1ST 2017-3-72. - Rain Man -*Josh Jones, SS, North Carolina State

I put a mid-round pick into this position, and it paid off. I've got a starter.

CB
2nd 2020-2-63. - Rain Man - Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn
2nd 2020-4-117. - Rain Man - Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech
Backup 2019-5-150. - Rain Man -*Kris Boyd, CB, Texas
OOL 2019-7-240. - Rain Man -*Montre Hartage, CB, Northwestern
OOL 2017-6-185. - Rain Man -*William Likely, CB, Maryland

I haven't invested a lot in this position until Noah. I hope he ends up starting.

OLB
1st 2019-6-215. – Rain Man -*Bobby Okereke, LB, Stanford
2nd 2020-1-32.! - Rain Man - Zach Baun, LB, Wisconsin
OOL 2017-5-163. - Rain Man -*Ejuan Price, LB, Pittsburgh

Okereke has been a pleasant surprise, and I invested big in Baun. Hopefully he takes a starting job soon.

ILB
1st 2019-2-42. - Rain Man -*Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama

I made a high-round investment in Mack and it paid off as he's a starter.

DE
1st 2017-1-1. - Rain Man -*Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
2nd 2017-5-183. - Rain Man -*Ifeadi Odenigbo, DE, Northwestern
2nd 2017-3-65. - Rain Man -*Ryan Anderson, OLB, Alabama
2nd 2019-3-73. – Rain Man -*Chase Winovich, DE, Michigan
Backup 2020-6-194. - Rain Man - Oluwole Betiku, DE, Illinois

Garrett was a 1-1 pick and he's a starter. Odenigbo was a bargain. I've also got some backups. I've invested a lot in this position.

DT
2ND 2020-4-139. - Rain Man - Leki Fotu, DT, Utah
OOL 2017-5-181. - Rain Man -*Ryan Glasgow, DT, Michigan

Low investment, low reward. Fotu's only a rookie, though, so he's ascending.
