Wasn't what happened in my draft, but then again, Peterson was the first guy on the block. I suppose if it was someone other than the undisputed #1 guy, that may have been true. I look forward to seeing how it goes next year.Mr. Irrelevant said:Highlighted for importance, for future FBG'ers conducting forum searches. No matter what year or what format your auction takes, this is typically the one constant.Next year I am bidding early and aggressively on the first Rb or wr I really like whether its my preferred guy or not. The earlier you grab a stud the cheaper you will pay.
Every year, almost without exception, the first stud nominated winds up going off the block for less than he would have had he been the last stud off the block. Often he goes for fewer actual dollars than later nominees ranked a tier below him! This usually, but not always, applies to the first stud nominated at each position, as well.
I won't make a blanket statement that "studs and duds" is the way to go - it's very draft-dependent - but I will say that you want a couple of studs on your team no matter what ... and you want them early.
And the next.
