Need to decide between Julio Jones in the 7th round or DeMarco Murray in the 14th...

Let me have it...

neither would be close to available in those rounds, obviously. Julio is more valuable but do you think you could get him without reaching?

If I let Julio go I probably won't get him back in the draft as I have the first pick in a 12 team snake draft. Standard scoring league. I think he will be gone before my second round pick. Struggling with my draft strategy as I'm not a big fan of Foster or Rice.

Keep Julio and take Rice.

That's actually where i've been leaning with my draft strategy.

That's the safest given your situation. Julio is going to be an absolute animal. Murray presents more value but Julio's upside cannot be ignored. People will tell you to take Foster 1st overall, but I like Rice's reliability.

I also worry about Murray's durability.

Yep. I also think that his projections are too ESPNish in that they're overvaluing him after last yearI think he's a little overvalued after last year. He may be great this year, who knows, but I like Julio in your situation. Good luck, you should have a strong base.

Just take Julio with your first overall and keep Murray. Problem solved
