re: 1st Round pick: QB vs RB

I read this Matthew Berry post at ESPN a week or two ago and it made a lot of sense given what I experienced in our league the last two years (most teams who spent their 1st round pick on a QB ended up not making the playoffs). It might give you r a new perspective on your question.

. . . . In fact, 10 different quarterbacks averaged 17 or so fantasy points per game last year. Two more averaged around 16 and No. 13, Andy Dalton, averaged 14.9. Seven others averaged 14 points a game. The quarterback position is the deepest I've ever seen it for fantasy purposes. . . .

It's a long but interesting read.
