Where do you want to draft this year?

I like picking towards the top part of the middle. 4 or 5 in a 12 team in ideal for me. Someone almost always reaches in my leagues. Picking 4 or 5 guarantees a stud in the first.

David Johnson
Le'Veon Bell
Zeke Elliot
Antonio Brown
Julio Jones

Then you're still in the middle of the second round. Knowing that I'd probably choose 5th.

I see now it's ten team, makes fifth even better. Guaranteed stud in the first and a better player in the second than you'd get choosing higher. You're not stuck at the back end of any round which makes a difference when you get to the 5th and 6th round and big names or scarce, same with 7th and 8th when tight ends and QBs start coming off the board, you can adjust accordingly and get a tier 1 player there

Dumb. At least pick 2nd if that's your strategy and you're okay with either of those guys. I hate picking at the front or back of rounds. 18 players come off the board before you pick again

If you're set on an elite back then take the third pick. If you're okay with an elite receiver in the first then go 5th pick.

Also consider that picking in the 7th-8th spot would likely net you two of the following:

Jordan Howard
Jay Ajayi
Lesean McCoy
Devonta Freeman
Demarco Murray

Your third round pick would then be someone like Brandin Cooks, Sammy Watkins, DT88, Deandre Hopkins, Doug Baldwin tier of receiver.


Front end of 1st = elite back, good receiver, good back
Middle of 1st = elite receiver, good back, good back
Back of 1st = great back, great back, good receiver


That's probably how a 10 team snake would play out this year anyway

You can be okay with either, but there's a very good chance you prefer one to the other. With a tier size of just 2, IMO it's worth giving up 1 slot in the 2nd round to make sure you get your guy.

You hate it, but some people love it. All personal preference.

always like drafting 9-10 to double up

I always have.. always. but this year i want top 5

Bell, zeke, johnson, brown, julio.

5


After that every player is on the same level for the next 15 picks

Just let me load up on RB. TE is probably an area where you have to luck into someone but I dominated a good chunk of my games because I had a revolving door of Zeke Elliott, LeSean McCoy, Melvin Gordon, Spencer Ware and Ty Montgomery later on in the year.
