Draft Strategy? (1 Viewer)

[ThePittbully]

16 Teams, Non ppr

I have the last pick in the first round, Serpentine draft

What strategy should I go into this draft with? Ive never been this far down in the first round, and Ive never been in a 16 team league. I would like to do RB+WR back to back, but I will most likely not see another quality RB. Does anyone with experience drafting this late have any information that might help me

Just realized I clicked the wrong forum, Mods please feel free to move or delete this for me

Don't take RBs. Go WR and Gates. See what you can get at RB and worry about QB later. just my two.

Really? Even in a non ppr and no TE extra points?

I think you need more than 1 plan. Mock out the likely scenario and see what's there for you. If there's a good RB or 2 then make a move on them. Look for absolute value. Getting at least 1 RB should be a top priority.

Another possibility is to consider making a trade to add more picks early in the draft. Trading out of round 1 and picking up an extra 2 is something to consider if you don't like the value that's there.

Plan for several scenarios and be flexible and you can still do well.

I like to trade back when I draft that late, as a matter of fact, possibly trading back multiple times. But I don't drop so far that I move beyond the bottom of a tier.

That being said, I don't like to be overly rigid as far as specific strategies, because I think it limits me too much.

In a non PPR, I would definitely make sure one of the first two picks is a RB. If I really like 2, then I would take 2, if not, I usually take a stud WR or trade back.

Trading back would be my #1 option, with hope of moving up in round 3, among other things.
