P Manning 1st and your top rated WR 2nd and a WR in the 3rd.
Can't get Manning? pick WR's at 12 and 13, QB in the 3rd (maybe RB 3rd, QB 4th)
Everybody's gonna scream RB. Let's say the RB's you draft tank. So what?
You get an impact rookie RB next year.
The odds of that WR you take in the 2nd and even 3rd round are gonna be better
that they will be consistent top 20 performers over the "impact" RB's. (for YEARS)
Every week you drop your scrub rb for a one week wonder and one of them will hit.
E Graham, R Grant, A Bradshaw type of possibilities.
More then likely T Jones will be your starter for this year and either a scrub RB or flex WR/TE.
Last year A Peterson was drafted 42nd , M Lynch 44rd, and C Taylor 84th.
(footballguys average draft position)
Think about that
Peterson and Lynch weren't drafted outside of pick 20 in dynasty drafts....And it's usually not easy to "hit" on a one week wonder.... there were an inordinate number of RB injuries last year.
Waiting until pick 36/37 for a RB might net you a Jacobs or J.Lewis, or a 2nd tier rookie RB.... not bad. Between picks 37 and 60 you will see J.Jones, Graham, L.White, and Edge. T. Jones goes in the pick 60 range. After that it's Rudi, F.Taylor, D.Williams.... Travis Henry may be a value in the 70s or 80s.
I would go RB/WR in the 1st and 2nd.... there is ample WR value at 36 and 37, but RBs are harder to come by.
Going RB/WR/WR/WR will net you 4 strong young players. Most RBs available at 36 or later are filler types, not dynasty cornerstones. It's nice to have at least ONE RB you can count on....
I do agree somewhat that young WRs are safer and hold their value longer in dynasty leagues, especially ppr.
