Every draft has THAT guy. Well actually, it seems there are always these five guys who relish being called a nerd. Which type of nerd does your fantasy league include? Check out the list to identify your nerd type.

This is the guy who just shows up to the draft with game. He doesn't have any fancy calculations or piles of papers. He's the guy who just knows what he wants. More often than not, he gets it too.

This might be my favorite. There's always that guy when asked about a player who just regurgitates what a football analyst had said of the player in question. There's not an original thought to be found, but they're entertaining to listen to and predict who they'll pick.

This guy just knows. He's not just mimicking what everyone says, but thinking of it himself -- he wants to be that guy everyone listens to on TV. But he's often too confident and overlooks errors in his predictions.

No, he's not the brightest crayon in the draft, but he certainly knows his team. He'll sleep at the stadium until his cheeks are frostbitten. Not to mention, he's the guy who will draft his team's TE in the 8th round.

aka: The League Champ

Maybe he won't win the league for sure, but don't tell him that. He's been researching for this season since you were looking up waiver wires last year. He's got it all down to a science, and he aims to destroy each and every team. Watch out, he doesn't take this lightly.
