Every year I select my own draft class based on how the actual draft played out. Starting in 2012, I drafted as though I owned a pick in the middle of each round. Any player that had not been drafted to that point was eligible. Prior to 2012, I specifically drafted for a team that owned a pick in the middle of the 1st round. Each of my draft classes are listed below.
