I have already paticipated in a draft. Now I can't do a thing, and this video offers nothing in terms of PLAYING. This is concepts and theory; nothing to help beginner actually accomplish something.

@PaladeresFamilyGreat video. This is my first time ever playing FF (hard to believe). I'm a huge football fan and I've been in the confidence pools but never FF. The draft is this Wednesday and I believe that I now have some understanding of how this works. If I get stuck somewhere I will be sure to reach out to you. Thanks
