Drafting 10th in 12 team league (1 Viewer)

[AtomicDogg97]

I am drafting 10th in a 12 team league and was wondering what other people in my position have done. Should I go RB-RB with my first two picks? The problem is that most of the elite backs are gone by my second pick. I know some people are going with a top WR like Chad Johnson at that spot, but what kind of RB is left to grab in round 3?

HELP!

Lock up two of the top QBs. That's what I'm going to do in my start 2 QB league.

I start 3 WR and play ppr so I am seriously considering WR/WR if it is all RBs taken 1-9. Depending on who slides to 10 I may go RB/WR.

Great fill in guys for RB2 later in the draft include Green and Foster. If you can nab one of these two guys in the 3rd or 4th I don't think there is a big dropoff from who you will choose from in the 2nd.

IM drafting from the exact same spot later this week. I think Iv narrowed down my strategy from the 10th spot as follows:

1.10- Travis Henry

2.02- Steve Smith

3.10 - Gates/L.Evans

4.02- Jacobs/Caddy/Deuce

5.10 - Palmer,Brady, Brees, Bulgar, Mcnabb if there still there OR A.Green/J.Lewis/A.Peterson/Norwood

6.02 - Foster/T.Bell/F.Taylor

I think this allows you to have plenty of depth at both RB and WR. If you go RB-RB you can prolly land any two of Henry/Maroney/Willis/R.Brown. Then your WR1 is a guy like Driver,Colston,Evans (which isnt a bad thing), but your prolly not going to draft your RB3 in the fourth round, which is where I find alot of value at the RB position. I really feel guys like jacobs,caddy,deuce all provide tremendous value at the start of the 4th round. You can then go ahead and grab another RB in the 5th from the likes of A.Green/J.Lewis/Norwood/Peterson. Im still not sure of what I plan to do though! RB/RB is still quite tempting. Let me know what you decide on doing. Good luck!

Just starting a draft, 12 teams, serpentine, no PPR - coming up on my pick in round 3. I was happy to see Rudi Johnson slide to me at 1.10, as players like Willie Parker, Travis Henry and Brian Westbrook all went first - the first 10 picks were all RBs. Then around the corner at 2.03, I picked up Maroney - I like the skill set, but still a bit nervous about the injury. It was a chance I had to take, as the pickings would be much slimmer at 3.10, when I pick next.

As my 3rd pick approaches, I see Roy Williams, Lee Evans, Donald Driver, Anquan Boldin, TJ Houshmandzadeh and Larry Fitzgerald available (3 away) - I'd be happy to land any of these as my WR1.

I was a bit surprised to see Palmer (late 2nd), Brady, Brees and Bulger all go by the early third round - I hadn't planned to take a QB this early, and I'm sticking to that blueprint.

Initially I had thought this wasn't a great position, but now I think it's very workable... I'll update as the draft progresses.

ETA: Roy Williams was available, and I selected him at 3.10.
