Rethinking my strategy to draft QB late

[dschddny 0]

I'm in a 10-team redraft and I always prefer drafting my QB late, striking gold 2 years ago with Romo and last year with Rodgers. Was planning to wait again this year but I'm starting to rethink this as suddenly the middle tier guys are all having issues.

 

Here are my middle tier guys that I would have gone for later, with their current issues:

 

Palmer - ankle

Cassell - slow to learn the offense, struggling in camp, rumor about being challenged by Croyle for #1

Cutler - bad in camp so far (obviously early but still)

Hasselbeck - Walter Jones injured (look what happened last year with bad O-line!)

Roethlsiberger - ankle/foot

 

This leaves me with the remaining middle-tier options of Schaub, Favre, Matt Ryan, and Trent Edwards. I don't love Edwards or Ryan (Ryan - good QB not big numbers), Favre worries me with all of his interceptions, and I don't want to count on getting Schaub late as there's always the chance someone else grabs him first!

 

So, now I'm thinking maybe I do something this year and grab Brady, Brees or Peyton. Problem is QB's go early in my league so it'll take a 1st round pick to get Brady or Brees or and early 2nd rounder to get Peyton...

 

What to do?

look at some numbers, grow a sack, and go with your gut and you can't go wrong... or just get Rivers or Rodgers in the 2nd or 3rd

I suppose it depends on your draft position, but it seams to me that there are 9 QB's without question.

 

5 No Brainers

Brees

Brady

Manning

Rogers

Rivers

 

4 Solid QB

Warner

McNabb

Romo

Cutler

 

Most of these guys have a chance at 4000 yards, and 25TD if the stay healthy.

 

After these guys, there are some questions, but you can always draft two and play the match-up's. (Eli, Palmer, Big Ben, Schaub, Hasslebeck)

 

Just my 2cents.
