It will be interesting to see how waiting on QB until the last picks strategy turns out.
While on the surface getting 200 or more points for your last pick should give you more points than similar players from other positions who may only provide zero points. For example my last pick of Lache Seastrunk who may not even make a practice squad if he does not learn how to pass block.
On the other hand waiting until the last two QB puts your team in a pretty significant hole compared to the QB scoring of other teams.
For example last season TMQB 32 scored 199 points. The top 8 QB scored 400 points. So while you may be gaining 200 points compared to last picks at other positions, the points given up at QB may turn this advantage into a wash.

I was pretty happy with drafting from the 12 spot because at least my two picks were somewhat close. I made a couple of mistakes with my predraft lists where if I were on the clock I would have preferred a different pick.
At the start of the draft I was able to get Beckham at pick 12 and then Calvin Johnson with the second pick giving me a nice foundation at WR. Neither of these WR played a full season last year yet still scored 240 and 297 points respectively.
In the third round I felt fortunate to be able to draft Brees who scored 375 points last season in what was somewhat a down year for him in terms of TDs. I consider the NFC south wide open and the Saints could win this division leading to extra games. On the way back I was able to get Andre Johnson who I like to get extra games and improved numbers due to playing with Luck. I am really happy with these two picks.
There was a big run on RB who for the most part I did not want in the fourth and fifth round so I ended up with Jarvis Landry who I do like a great deal. Coming back in the sixth round I still did not want to take any RB but I did pick Blount who I hope can handle a lot of carries and perhaps give me a bonus game or two.
In the seventh round I also reached and took Alfred Blue with the hope that Foster's rehab takes awhile. Blue is no lock to be starter and the Texans will not be a very good offense unless Hoyer really surprises. Playoffs unlikely, but maybe he can manage some points on volume.
I somewhat wish I would have just kept drafting WR. Steve Smith for example may have been a better pick than Blue. I panicked a bit as even the dregs at RB became thin and I did not maximize my point potential picking these RB.
Thankfully I was able to draft Rudolph and Ebron in the 8th and 9th round. These players go about two rounds earlier in league two. These are players I likely would have taken if I had not wasted those picks on the two RB earlier. So pretty happy to get them that late.
I maybe should have opted for Carson Palmer over Robert Griffin or just passed a second QB. But I think there will be a lot of pass attempts again in Washington. Despite how bad they were last season they still scored 288 points. I can see that number improving and that is a lot of points. In 2013 the Cardinals scored 271 points for their QB so this is close and they are more likely to make the playoffs. Not sure what was the right choice there.
After this I decided to try to take care of my kicker and defense by drafting Ghost and the Ravens who I like to add playoff games. I was going to go with two kickers here but decided the defenses were more likely to be drafted than kickers, so I split them.
Round 13-14 I took Cameron Artis-Payne because of Stewarts injury history and also because I think he is a good RB. This also allowed me to have my first 3 RB be named Blount, Blue and Payne. I am not sure if I needed to take him this early or not and I likely should have picked my second defense here instead. When I did draft my defense I took the Colts because of playoff chances, but I regret not taking the Vikings instead who are looking to actually have a good defense this year. This is a pick I regret the most and not sure how I had the Colts higher in my predraft list. But of well, in the end they may be close in total points. The Colts were the 9th defense last season despite not being very good.
Round 15 I dodged a bullet somewhat because I was targeting the Steelers kicker prior to his injury. I ended up with Bullock who I like to kick field goals. When I saw that Gould went much later I feel I reached a bit on my kicker picks. However one of the reasons I did so poorly last season was due to taking zeros from my kicker position. So trying to not let that happen again.
Round 16 I still did need a WR after being able to focus elsewhere due to my four early WR picks. I was happy to get Tyler Lockett here as I think he is a better WR than anyone else they have. I expect him to work his way into one of Wilsons toip targets, also playoff potential here. Happy to get him this late.
Round 17 Cecil Shorts became my flex. I would have preferred to pick a TE here and I was going to draft Walford, but he went before this pick. So I opted for Shorts instead.
Last pick Lache Seastrunk because I needed a fourth RB and nothing else too exciting available. Likely a zero here but I do think he has the talent to make an impact if he gets opportunity with the Cowboys.
