At this point, there are going to be 40 more movies chosen before I get to pick again. Prior to my choice, 4 of the first 33 picks were Westerns. If that average continues, there will be 5 more chosen before my 3rd Round pick. I can think of quite a few Westerns that I like, but I don't know how many of those will be left by my next pick. Even though I consider myself a fan of the genre, it is one of the weakest categories on my list, so I can withstand dropping to my 5th or 6th (or 10th) choice in other categories more than I can Westerns.


I guess what I'm really saying is, everyone should focus on filling up their Western choices and ignore the other categories.

This post makes me think that I should spend some of my downtime this weekend developing a draft strategy. I was kind of just wingin' it!

I guess that's easy to do when you have the #1 pick. I'm guessing my choice would've been gone before the end of round 2 though, so maybe I did have a bit of strategy.

Love Unforgiven, BTW.
