Medal of Honor Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hey all, Usually I am "lucky" enough to be on either end of a snake draft. This year I am stuck dead in the middle at #7 in a 12 team league. This is an ESPN standard league, no PPR. What I am wondering, seeing as how there doesn't seem to be much depth at either WR or RB this year... I would like to plan, position-wise, my first four moves. Right now I am thinking WR, WR, RB, QB. That locks down possibly TWO of the elite 9 or 10 WRs out there (let's say Fitz and Steve Smith), and gets me a semi-decent back as my primary back... like Barber, Brown, or Thomas. QB I'm not too worried about taking in the fourth, certainly Schaub and Hasselbeck are high quality starters. The thing is with this strategy, my starting two RBs are kind of garbo... unless I am lucky enough to find a diamond in the rough like I did with Chris Johnson last year. Maybe I should go WR, RB, WR, QB? But I still only get one good RB, and the amount better he is over a second elite WR is how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 What are your lineup requirements? My group has the 7th pick in WCOFF, albeit that is with PPR scoring, and there is some debate about if there is a strong enough case to be made about going WR in the first. I have yet to be convinced based on who I see available each round from some MDC analysis (thanks to GTS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medal of Honor Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 QB, RB, RB, Flex, WR, WR, TE, DEF, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 With those reqs and no PPR, I would heavily lean towards an RB in the first. After that, very much BPA and I would not want to go in with a defined plan of what position I was taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 With a middle pick, I recommend trying to stay balanced and therefore, flexible. Go RB first if you like the options there, if not take your favorite WR. Beyond that look for value. In the seven spot you should have plenty of access to value picks. I would probably recommend going for 2WRs and 2 RBs in the first four unless a great QB falls in your lap. Then take advantage of bargains at TE and QB as they appear. Committing too heavily to either RBs or WRs early makes you less able to take advantage of value when it is available. -Heroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorp25 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Take Fitz or moss in first round. Look for a steal at RB in the second if not go WR again. and see what falls from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
