But because of the snake drafting I get to choose twice for my first pick right?

My first instinct is to go straight Wizard, to reduce MAD and competition. Alternately a Strength-based Fighter, in part because I watched Strength go so late in the last drafts, so again, less competition.
@TwoSix : If we draft a "+2", does that get applied to whatever stat we want after the draft is complete? So, for example, could it be combined with a racial +2 to bump a 16 up to a 20, or applied to one of your default 8s to make it a 10?

You pick 7th and 8th, correct.

Yes, all stat adjustments are applied after any flat stats you pick, and stack with racials. They can also be applied to any 8s you have as a result of not picking a stat.
If you take a Str 16, for example, and a "+2 Str", you can combine all of those with a +2 Str racial ability to start with a 20 Str.

Multiple Ability Dependency. Some classes (Paladin and Monk come to mind) really like you to have multiple high stats, as well as having a decent Con. Other classes (like Rogue or Fighter, or some casters) can get away with just one high stat (also known as SAD).
Personally, I don't tend to think of casters as being overly SAD unless they're willing to tank their AC, which I'm generally against. But that's personal bias.

Not at all, I am 100% pro-ranger/wizards. Heck, I wish that had been an AD&D multiclass!
