This isn't intended to be a discussion about my own draft strategy, but I'd like to see how others are putting together a strategy for the 5 spot. Here's what I'm thinking so far (this is based on the latest Gray cheatsheet for 6 TDs all scoring, 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE and 1 Flex, non-PPR):
1.05 - Gore (a supreme talent on an improving team with a cake schedule and good defense)
2.06 - R. Matthews if he makes it (too much opportunity on a good team with limited alternatives, nice schedule too)
3.05 - S. Greene (a little nervous here with LT in the picture, maybe Roddy White/Calvin Johnson if one makes it that far)
4.06 - J. Best if I pass on Greene, or someone like B. Marshall or Nicks if I took Greene in round 3
5.05 - Rivers if he makes it, maybe Cutler, or if they're both gone, I'll wait a couple more rounds for a QB
6.06 - Finley if he makes it this far (Gray's cheatsheet says he'd still be there, but I'm not sure in my league)
7.05 - One of Owens, Crabtee, Sims-Walker or Bowe
7.05 - Someone like Knox or D. Bryant
Anyway, I don't know how closely my league will follow this particular cheatsheet, obviously this is a hypothetical at this point, but I'd be pretty psyched with this team:
QB - Rivers
RB - Gore
RB - Matthews
RB - Best
WR - White
WR - Crabtree
WR - Knox
TE - Finley
I'm thinking one could put together a really nice team at the 5 spot based on the current cheatsheet available for this format.
