ADP Based Landscapes

I always wish to understand the draft in terms of positional runs and starts for the TE QB DST and K. This figure in Professors Non PPR Rankings below plots the entire Non-PPR draft to pick 312.

TE start early in Round 3 and the first 12 TEs are gone in round 11 or so.
QBs start being drafted in round 3 but the first 12 are gone by round 8.
Thus QBs are going quicker and TEs can be drafted slower.
DST start in round 12 and 12 are gone by round 17.
Kickers begin in round 16 and 12 are gone after round 20.

% Positional Drafted by Rounds

Coded by color in this table to spot peaks and valleys. I suggest trying to be contrarian in a draft within reason. These data help.

Note the peaks and valley of trendlines for RBs and WRs. (See Predator-Prey Graphs)

The public is hopscotching between the two positions.
