#2 In 12 Team Redraft PPR League (1 Viewer)

If you start with AP or CJ, you are already in a great position. There are three ways you can go depending on your QB scoring (3pt TD's or 6) RB, WR WR if you are ppr, you may want a solid core of Wr's in there. Lastly is to go RB, RB, best avail...
I like to think in the later you may be able to land a guy like Greene, Benson or perhaps matthews (depending on hype) with the second pick and take a Tier 2 WR (boldin/S Smith). the beauty of this draft style is you are drafting out of sync with all the clowns who went QB, or WR in the first few rounds... while they are scrambling for RB's, you are cherry-picking elite TE's and perhaps a tier 2 Qb like Rivers in the 4th...
second is to go RB, WR, WR and hope to nabb two solid WR's like megatron, marshall, Jennings and Smith, Boldin or ocho next. remember WR's take a huge drop off after the tier 3's are gone (Bowe, MSW, Floyd, etc) so having solid Wr's is key. RB's Te and QB are deep this yr so you can wait...
Third is going for a top guy in all three slots. AP, Marshall, Romo... while this looks nice on paper it doesnt allow you to create a strong area in your bench. you will be after WR's and RB's at the same time as everyone else and what i find is you tend to take a top 5 TE with the 4th round pick over the likes of the other RB's there... this style of draft does not endure injury well..

I don't think RB WR WR is an option here. You're not getting Calvin/Marshall at 2.23. You might get Jennings, and will probably have DJax there at 2.23. After that you've got the 2nd and 3rd tier guys like Bolden, Colston, Welker, etc. I don't want to grab a WR just to grab one. While the other teams will be rolling with Wayne/Roddy or AJ/Marshall, you're stuck with 2 inferior WRs like Jennings/Bolden and letting upper tier RBs fall back to the guys who went WR/WR in the first 2 rounds. That's not good.
One scenario that has played out for me before is DWill falling back to me at 2.23. And then it's a no-brainer. You gotta do it.
Otherwise, I think you have to seriously consider RB WR QB/RB.
1.2- AP/MJD/CJ
2.23- DJax, Jennings. Marshall if you're lucky, but I seriously doubt it.
3.2-Charles is a possibility, Mathews maybe, Tom Brady/Romo will be there almost 100% of the time.
I'd rather not draft a QB that early, but you have to if you want to be competitive. No sense in picking on the back-end of a WR/RB run. Zig while they zag.
Say, you start out with:
AP
DJax
Charles
get value from there. Don't worry about a RB until the 6th unless crazy value is there (and I mean CRAZY).
You've got a shot at Hakeem Nicks, MSW, Crabtree, Steve Smith, Ocho Cinco, Bowe at 4-5.
If you do take a QB early, I'd leave TE alone until round 8-9.

this is an interesting pick that can go a few ways in the first 3 rounds, what do you guys think?
