It's funny...I feel exactly the opposite about this year after doing countless mocks as well. Assuming we are talking about PPR though.
I firmly believe WR-WR is the way to go this year if you draft anywhere later than the middle of your league....I see a ton of middle round RB's that all present value.
If you're league isn't PPR or is touchdown heavy then I can see taking RB's early, otherwise I'm taking the opposite approach this year in all honesty.
Ive mocked a lot this past month, if I was in the 6-12 spot I would almost always go WR WR, I slowly realized that the RB depth is very shallow this year. I dont know if it is my own preference or what, but
ive been able to draft 2 WRs I really like in the 3-4th everytime, usually Welker/S. Johnson, sometimes VJax/Tampa Mike.
