Interesting Stat From ESPN.com's FFL Leagues

According to ESPN guru Eric Karabell (a very nice fellow, by the way):
Don't sweat it if you don't pick in the first half of the first round. Last season, more teams won after drafting in the eight and nine spots on ESPN.com than any other position. Why? Sure, none of those teams drafted Priest Holmes. But all of those teams got to make their second pick before the team with Priest did. Draft position ensures nothing.
Eight and nine? Who would have thunk it?
