Yeah. Shoulda just drafted some more WR.
There were 3 still available that maybe were better picks than taking Jay imo. Austin, Benjamin and Dorsett.
I was sort of hoping for a RB run and I preferred Dorsett over the other two due to playoff chances, but it kind of sucks drafting next to Woods.
No idea if Jay would have still been there for me or not if I had picked Dorsett instead.
Maybe best served for another thread, but I have revised my stance and strategy of ignoring RBs and loading up on WRs as the years have gone by.
In general, I have since tried to figure out what production levels (or pockets of similar production) will be available at different points in the draft. IMO, RB's fall into the following categories: bell cows, starters, half-timers, back ups, or depth chart guys with potential that will likely hit a home run or strike out.
As far as I am concerned, I will generally prefer (in my older years) to let others take the guys in those last two groupings. Sure, someone might end up as the next Arian Foster, but most will just be an anchor and score very few points.
Put another way, IMO, there will still be WRs later in the draft that will score a fair amount more than the RBs that many teams will be forced to draft. It's not quite as simple as that, but at certain points in the draft there is not a lot of scoring differential among the mid-tier WRs.
As far as your comments, I haven't really followed the draft in this league, but I would rather have Austin (the Rams potential WR1) or Benjamin (the Chargers WR2 with other guys already hurt) than Dorsett (the Colts WR3).
Again, hard to decipher if Ajayi is worth it (I'm guessing probably not) at that point in the draft, but it depends what other backs were available. It all depends on how many RBs were left that stand to get a consistent workload (even in a timeshare).
