This, to me, is always the fun part of drafting: when you see how things are unfolding and have to pivot a little on the fly. If you wait awhile on offense, it probably won't do to take a bunch of safe middle-of-the-road guys, you figure you need at least one sleeper gem or breakout guy, so you lean heavy into younger guys, and if one of them has a great year it counteracts a lot of that wait on offense.
Of course, this is fun in the abstract or when it happens to others. For the person doing it it's always this high-stress, tension-filled thing. But even that can be kinda fun. A perfect draft is fun, but a close second in terms of fun is the really chaotic one where you have to formulate new plans on the fly.
