Rookies after the top 5 (1 Viewer)

Wow, that is pretty high for Wilson. I am in a rookie draft at the moment and I took Foles one spot ahead of him in the 4th round before last night's games. This league does a split draft, so rounds 1-3 were done in early May. We just started up rounds 4-6 a couple days ago. I still wouldn't take Wilson with a top 10 pick. He's just a QB, and all but the elite QBs are a dime a dozen in most leagues. There are other options in that range like Floyd and Turbin who gain value due to the importance of their positions.
I wouldn't take him with a top 10 pick, either. I've got him way back at the end of that giant 4th tier, somewhere in the mid-to-late second round, and would handily still prefer Tannehill (a few great preseason outings don't trump a top 10 pedigree). I'm just saying, I think that's the earliest I could see someone drafting him without thinking they'd gone completely nuts. Once you get past the top 7 or 8 this year, I think it just comes down to a huge cluster of guys with lots to love and a few red flags, and everyone is going to have their own favorites from that group.
 
Richardson-break-Martin/Luck/Griffin-break-Blackmon/Wilson/Wright-break-ginormous 4th tier.I wouldn't have a problem with Russell Wilson going anywhere at all in that huge 4th tier, which in my rankings stretches from #8 all the way down to the middle of the second round (somewhere between pick #16 and pick #19). There's no way in hell I'd take him over one of those top 7 guys, though.
My rankings are almost identical, but I have the 8th pick (aka the first pick of the "ginormous 4th tier"). Hence, my dilemma. Right now it's Hillman vs. Jeffrey for me at #8. Obviously I hope one of those first 7 drops to me.
