Where do you want to draft this year?

I have first choice of draft picks in my 10-team standard league and I'm thinking of taking the 3rd pick.
My thinking behind it is I'd like to have one of - Zeke, LeVeon, or D. Johnson who are all likely to go first in my league and I like the likelihood of getting a decent WR in the 2nd.
Do you agree or are you trying to get an earlier/later pick?

Is it a snake draft? If so, I always like drafting 9-10 to double up

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

In standard, I agree. In PPR I think I like number 1 so I can get my choice of DJ/Bell.

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

I was thinking about that but looking at scoring in my league the disparity between the top RB was significantly more drastic than the top WR. The difference between the number 1 RB and number 5 RB was 87 pts as apposed to 24 pts for the Wrs.
But I guess it's the difference between getting like Zeke and Michael Thomas with the 3rd pick or getting Julio and Ajayi with the 5th.

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

Let the draft come to me.

Damn, yeah I think I'm down to pick #3 or #10. I went elite WR last year and tanked so I want to switch up strategy this year.

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.

4 spot has won the past 3 years in a row in my 12-team league. Seems to be the lucky spot for us. I was 3 last year and hated it. I'm hoping to be in the back half of the draft this year.

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

I'm finding I love the mid round WR's this year and would rather start with 2 stud RB's so I'd rather mid to late
Posted on 5/30/17 at 12:25 am to BigOrangeVols
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.

It doesn't matter. Last year I wanted to pick near the bottom because I felt like there weren't any established studs without major question marks to pick in the first. This year seems better for top picks. But there are winning strategies anywhere you pick.
