this is not a "rate my team" or "i need help". rather, it is a continuation of the ongoing debate on draft order. i'm in a 14 team, non-ppr, redraft w. standard scoring league. lack of quality running backs led to my strategy. here is what i got. is this strategy as good as any?

 

1.6 ronnie brown

2.9 warrick dunn

3.6 chester taylor

4.9 donald driver

5.6 rod smith

6.9 lee evans

7.6 steve mcnair

8.9 kevin barlow

9.6 reggie brown (draft was before stallworth trade)

10.9 byron leftwich

11.6 ben troupe

12.9 dolphins d

13.6 josh brown

14.9 alex smith te

15.6 chiefs d

16.9 jason hanson

I wouldn't get too caught up in positional drafting. Try value/value/value/value/value/value/QB.

DJ is dead right - you change your strategy based on the runs that are going and your needs. Early on, you try to go against the runs of everyone else, unless you are getting who you want anyway. Based on pressing need (you've been waiting on your RB2 or RB3, you just go for the guy you need regardless of runs.

 

Go for value/tiers until forced to cover your needs.

positional drafting id garbage. You have to read trends and estimate DP as the draft is in progress

Never drafted based on position. Draft based on what falls to you and when. What you need and the scoring system you live under.

The problem with this thinking is it could lead to WR/WR in the first round if you are at the bottom. The key is a mix of both. Say round 1 and 2 and easy as you go RB/RB, but in round 3 and 4, you can say, I really want to go RB/WR, but if Randy Moss falls to me I will go WR/WR. It's about value as well as positional.

best avail/ best avail/ best avail/ best avail/ all while keeping your starting position limits in mind.

 

 

Only because this is a messed up year!

Exactly. I went into my draft thinking I was going RB, WR, RB, RB, but when Randy Moss fell to me in the 3rd round, 9th pick I had to take him. I still ended up getting Chester Taylor in the early 4th. You have to adjust to your draft.
