Strategy for # 7 pick in 14 team high performance league (1 Viewer)

[MR_D]

Thus is my 1st year in a new league. 14 teams starting 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/1K/1DST; roster limit = 14 (8 Starters + 1 backup ea QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DST)

TD 0-9 yds 6 points, 10-39yds 9 pts. 40+yds 12 pts

Pass 1 pt/20 yds, +5 pts bonus at 140, 220 and 300yds, 1 pt/compl -3/intercp

Rush 1 pt 10/yds +5 pts bonus at 70,100 and 130 yds

Recv 1 pt/20yds +5 pts bonus at 80, 100, and 140 yds

Creating rankings based on the above pushes qbs higher into overall rankings. I'm guessing that the high weighting of the passing bonus and added points for length of td length are what is driving this - and am lookig for confimation that this seems reasonable given the scoring of the league?

The result of all this is that in the mocks I've been running, the top 10 qb's have been going much higher than what I'd expect (based on ADP info) and seen in the past in other leagues. In the mocks, I'm seeing average of 5-6 taken in 1st round and all top 10 qb's taken by end of 2-3 and I clearly need to modify my strategy to accomodate this shift in thinking. Based on the mocks, I'm thinking about a strategy that has me filling qb/2wr/2rb by round 5 (most likely taking a top5 qb in 1st round) and by round 8 having 1qb/3rb/3wr/1te and then going from there. Is that a reasonable approach?

Just in case you are interested, the mocks I've run typically leave me facing the choice of Tom Brady or Larry Johnson as my 1st pick. If I use the strategy above and choose brady, then i usually see the choice of edgerrin james or chad johnson as number 2 pick and the choice of a mid teen rb (like adrian peterson, brandon jacobs) or high top 10 low teen reciever (Houshmandzeh, Bouldin) as number 3 choice.

This seems to work out better than going with Larry Johnson in round 1, then I typically see Peterson or chad johnson choice in 2nd round and jamal lewis, marques colston, or kitna/leinart in 3.

Hmm I'd Still probably go Rb Rb and a QB in the third if one of Brady Palmer or Bress is available. Not listing Bulger because i think the loss of Lucie will hurt him and it's his blind side. Then go for Boldin Walker Driver Evans in the 4th. One should be there and hope that Moss Burress or Coles falls to you. Then just build your depth from there.Hope I helped.
