What player did you draft a round or 2 early because you expect a monster year?

I've only had one draft so far and I really didn't have any reaches.

I picked RG3 at the end of the 5th round with pick 60. There was an early run on QBs: Brees, Rodgers, Manning all went in the 2nd round. Kaep/Cam went in the 3rd.

I think RG3 has a great sophomore year.

Closest thing I had to a reach was Gronk in the 5th. You have to make a risky decision at some point. If Gronk comes back for week 3 and plays like his old self then it could be huge for me.

Im not so sure about RG3 having a great fantasy season his 2nd year.

He only had more than 220 passing yards in 6 games last year. Which means he threw for less than 220 yards in 10 games last year. Which isnt good. A lot of his points came with his feet. 7 of his TDs were rushing and he rushed for over 815 yards.

Coming off a torn ACL, I dont see him putting up those rushing #s like he did last year. I doubt Shannahan runs any designed QB running plays. And he will be telling RG3 to not run the ball. They are going to try and protect him at all costs.

If he can get better as a passer in the pocket he should have a solid year, but I dont see him putting up the #s he did last year.

I knew a few people had their eye on him, so I took Thompkins at the end of the 7th. Bit of a stretch, but his ceiling is huge IMO.

Matt Ryan at pick 60. Kind of forced to semi reach i guess.

Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Stafford, Manning were all off the board so i had to pull the trigger a round or 2 earlier than expected @QB. I'll be damned if i was going to be stuck with Eli

David Wilson

I reached for him with the first pick in the 3rd round and I knew it. RB's were going thin and he was not going to be there with the last pick of the 4th round... so I jumped. I can't say I'm expecting a monster year, but I sure as hell am hoping so. Other than that, I didn't reach anywhere else.

I felt so smart drafting Kenbrell Thompkins in the 11th. Literally everyone was like "who?"
