11: J Stewart

Again, please don't blast me as a look at me, I'm not looking for comments on how the draft went, I could care less what you think. I'm pleased as punch. I'm just sharing what you can do if you wait to take RBs this year. Certainly half of them won't pan out, but there is so much depth available that I"m convinced WR and QB is the way to go. Note I took Jacobs in round 2 and am hating that pick on the backside.

[prgromek]

going into my drafts this year, my philosophy was to wait on RBs too. But it seems like everyone else also wants to wait too and grab the top WRs early, so I've seen some ridiculous value in the first couple rounds for RBs. I've been getting guys like Gore/D-Will at the turn and Jacobs late in the 3rd in a PPR.

 

[joffer]

not sure i agree. i think the WR-early trend has gone a little overboard. i just finished a draft that had 7 WRs in the first 14 picks.

for instance, the difference between Jennings and Driver was 69 picks. i just can't see 6 rounds worth of difference there. i think a RB-WR start or vice versa is the way to go.

We had a guy in my main leagues do something similar yesterday. He started off Megatron, Jenning, Witten, TO and then drafted RB 5 out of his next 6 picks. Looking at it now his roster is about as good as anyone's... besides mine. But this year I think it's a legit strategy to use in most formats.

Don't sweat it. I've been toying with the same idea and think a bunch of people that are ignoring this approach and still locked into double RB stud or some such approach are going to be surprised this season.

I had expected to go WR there... I don't think it's a bad idea to go WR in the 1st, grab a Westbrook, LT, or Gore (or Brees/Brady) if they slide to the early 2nd, then wait for your next RB starting Round 5/6 and load up.

 

[IHEARTFF]

I would like it more if you didnt have Jacobs already. Now you start Jacobs and 1 of the other 7 each week. Figuring out which 1 may become an issue.

 

[davearm]

Seems to me that great value can be found in rounds 5-11 at QB, WR, and TE this year too. Personally I can't imagine dipping only into the RB pool through the middle rounds.

 

[vikingdave]

all those RBs would be great, IF it was a PPR league...but its not...Bush sucks in non PPR, Washington, Sproles and Chester value is all way down without PPR, barely flex bye week fillers...

I like Rice, Moreno and Stewart tho...

I disagree about the WR's, there's around 10 stud WR's, everybody else is shockingly similar. I'm leaning toward WR-WR or WR-QB this year.

[NYRAGE]

I'm an old school RB-RB guy before it was en vogue, but for fun the other day, I did something similar in a league. I went Moss-Wayne-Bowe-P. Manning, and then my next five picks were RBs. One guy thought I was committing heresy, but I liked my roster. I have a solid first RB, and then several serviceable rbs. I just need one to come through out of the six or seven that I drafted.

 

[The Jerk]

Seems to me that great value can be found in rounds 5-11 at QB, WR, and TE this year too. Personally I can't imagine dipping only into the RB pool through the middle rounds.

I disagree about the WR's, there's around 10 stud WR's, everybody else is shockingly similar. I'm leaning toward WR-WR or WR-QB this year.

I think the big picture here is that any position can present value later in drafts depending on what happens in a given draft and that you should plan and execute your picks accordingly. I expect to draft only one RB in my top 4-5 rounds, but if most of the other owners think the same, then there will likely be a RB fall to me that I was not expecting. For me, the only way to prepare is to be ready to go any direction by knowing who I will select as my later RBs, WRs, QB or TE. Then I can take whatever value falls to me without worrying about who I might find later. Of course, you don't want to wait TOO long to get those targeted later picks because once they're gone, they're gone.

 

[ffldrew]

Interesting set of picks - the only thing about your approach is that you might be driving yourself crazy during the season trying to figure out who to start - or catching the lightening in the bottle week to week. The anchor/stud guys keep you from having to second guess at starter and keep your mistakes at the margin.

 

[gregjcross]

We had a guy in my main leagues do something similar yesterday. He started off Megatron, Jenning, Witten, TO and then drafted RB 5 out of his next 6 picks. Looking at it now his roster is about as good as anyone's... besides mine. But this year I think it's a legit strategy to use in most formats.

It has been legit strategy for many years now. As long as you nail your top two WRs, there are always injuries to RBs and people that can be picked up during the season. Not to say you cant build a great team with 2 of the first 3 (or 3 of the first 5) picks as RBs, as then you will have the most marketable trade bait around, a much coveted starting RB to deal for the WR that you missed.

 

[Burning Sensation]

I think 7 straight RB's is a bit of overkill, especially since you selected one in round two. I do however agree with the basic idea of going with quantity over quality for RB's this year. I typically take RB's early and often, but i changed that up this year. I went WR/WR with the 1.10/2.3 pick in my first draft today. I took a RB at 3, then Witten at 4. Three of my next 5 picks were RB's with Royal abd Schaub mixed in. The strategy worked out really well i thought, and i will be using it in other drafts this year.

Spending 7 picks in the middle of the draft to fill one spot doesn't sound like a great idea to me. I also don't know that the guys you took are all that great. I like the Moreno, Washington and Sproles picks, I figure you could have done better with the others.

 

[ScottyFargo]

A guy in my league did this, drafting out of the 6 spot in a 12 teamer. (6 point TD league, 2RB 1 Flex) and a lot of QBs went early anyway:

Brees

Calvin Johnson

Roddy White

Knowshon Moreno

Beanie Wells

Jamal Lewis

Felix Jones

These may not have been in the exact order that he drafted, but the idea was the same. Needless to say, I don't think this team will be particularly competetive because the RBs are too weak to support the solid QB and WRs he started off with. He might have had "success" if he targeted other RBs that will be more productive. Brees actually might keep him in it week to week, however.

I don't particularly recommend going that route, unless you are very smart about which RBs you are targeting late.

 

[cubbie5150]

I was in a 12 team redraft yesterday (.5 PPR, 6 pts/ANY TD, start 3 WR, start 2 RB, no Flex); picked MJD @ 1.01. QB's & WR's FLEW off the board. I saw this happening, and still passed on RB's at the 2/3 turn (went Colston/Welker since I knew there would be pretty much zero worthwhile WR's by the time I picked again @ 4.12). I got Ryan Grant @ 4.12!!! After it was all said and done, I ended up w/ a RB stable of:

MJD

Grant

Knowshon Moreno

Beanie Wells

Ahmad Bradshaw

Tim Hightower

I guess in the very least, I'll hopefully have some trade bait (I'll need it cuz my WR corps isn't much to write home about--Mason is my WR3). I just couldn't pass on these RB's as they kept falling to me.

 

[barista]

Seems like this years trend– WRs and QBs went early...

not a big Ronnie Brown fan but took him in the 6th (thought that was a steal) - Ray Rice in the 8th and Benson in the 12th (another had to take him for that value)

With all due respect, all you showed is what YOU were able to get in YOUR league THIS year. It says nothing regarding what anyone else can/will/could/might get. You are soliciting thoughts regarding your draft because that's the only place these names relate.I happen to agree with the theory (if that's what this really is) that waiting until the middle rounds for RB can net you some really good potential. In a league this weekend I went QB-WR-WR-WR-TE (start three WR) and then followed up with four decent RBs. I'm not going to say who they are because that WOULD be saying "look at me" and inviting comments about my draft. And since I really really really don't care what anyone thinks I won't bore you with the names.

But looking at my team I think I have a pretty good competitor, and that's discounting those RBs. If they pan out to be even average I have a contender. I don't have any big names at RB, but I have good potential and even "depth" of potential. So I'm happy with the result.

What people might get out of this for their draft is IF you were toying with waiting until late to get your RBs, this might be the year to try it. I'd say it will hurt less than in previous years, and if you hit on your mid-round selections and those early QB/WR picks you've got an advantage.

I really didn't like what I had to look at for RBs after round 4 but hopefully a couple of them will be serviceable. However, I am very pleased with my team considering the scoring format

 

[Knobs]

Interesting, and thank you for this. In my 12 team ppc/ppr IDP league, I'm strongly considering going wr/wr/qb/te with my first four picks. Then I'm really thinking about mixing in some defensive guys so I wouldn't have my starting rb's until round 7 or so.

Good to see there should still be some solid options available. Granted, nobody that will carry my team, but if my first several picks pan out I should be in great shape.

ETA-some real douchebaggery in here. Leave the thread if you don't like it. Sheesh.

 

[puckalicious]

In theory this concept sounds great but in practice I really don't want to have a roster full of 100-200 carry RBs and choosing which 2 scrubs to start every week. And probably not picking the best 2 every week because it's kind of like playing whack-a-mole.

This is not intended as a look at me. It's only listed to show how you can load up on RBs in this years draft late:

Round:

5: Rice

6: Bush

7: Moreno

8: Leon Washington

9: Sproles

10: C Taylor

11: J Stewart

Again, please don't blast me as a look at me, I'm not looking for comments on how the draft went, I could care less what you think. I'm pleased as punch. I'm just sharing what you can do if you wait to take RBs this year. Certainly half of them won't pan out, but there is so much depth available that I"m convinced WR and QB is the way to go. Note I took Jacobs in round 2 and am hating that pick on the backside.

Message to the pool: wait for your RBs this year

I have nothing against anyone's strategies, but in this case I wonder in shark drafts where these guys will go . . . In my last draft (PPR):

5: Rice (36) - 3rd rnd

6: Bush (38) - 4th rnd

7: Moreno (50) - 5th rnd

8: Leon Washington (69) - 7th rnd

9: Sproles (119)

10: C Taylor (115)

11: J Stewart (75)

Looks like the order may have been a little different, and he would have started 1 round earlier, but he could have added all the same guys

I decided to wait on running backs too this year, which I normally never do. 10 player draft, partial PPR (3 points per 5 receptions) 6th pick:

1. Brees

2. Slaton

3. Randy Moss

4. Colston

5. Moreno

6. Lynch

7. Olsen

8. Rice

9. Felix

10. Coles

11. Santonio

12. Fred Jackson

13. LeSean

14. Cadillac

15. Rackers

16. Redskins

Needless to say, I'm pretty happy with this.

I would say the logic is a little flawed. While you can wait on RBs you will have to stock up with 7-8 to hope that 1-2 late rounders eventually put up viable RB1-2 stats while all the rest likely will not. This excess of RB can be very detrimental to the depth of other positions. Also, it will take time to determine which of the 5-11 rounders are viable as your RB2 starter. In this time there is a possibility that in weeks ~1-4 your RB2 will only put up mediocre points. Combined with your likely thin depth at WR and TE you will be in real trouble with selections.
