Max - This is my draft from last night. Normally I'm in the camp with those who say draft RB early and often, but this year, you need to go after one or two of the top ten receivers (agree w/Mr. Glass). There are so many teams that are splitting carries that it's entirely possible to find a back in round seven or eight who will give you almost equal value to one in round four. I drafted seventh (picks are bolded) and you can see my approach. Similarly, I wouldn't recommend "wasting" an early pick this year on one of the elite QBs...there are too many serviceable guys out there in the later rounds. There was a huge run on QBs in the third round of my draft, so I got a steal in Steve Slaton at pick #27. My exception to this rule is when you can pair an elite receiver with an elite QB (Brady/Moss, Manning/Wayne, Rodgers/Jennings, Warner/Fitzgerald this year) Much like real drafts, don't get caught up in the runs on certain positions and draft for value. I got a QB in Matt Schaub who has the potential to put up top 5 or 6 numbers this season five rounds later than when the run on QBs took place. In the meantime, I was able to cement myself three full-time backs, another with huge potential, a top four receiver and two more from that second/third tier. I'm no fantasy expert, but I'm usually competitive barring serious injury.
