Do you take two stud WRs but then get stuck with average RBs ?How about a stud QB and best player on the board ?My league is a re-draft, 12 team no PPR- and we have 3rd round reversal so I will get the 12th & 13th overall picks and then the 25th.Right now I'm thinking best RB & WR at 12th & 13th picks and then QB at 25th if it's a Romo, Schaub or Brady -
I think it really depends on what happens in the draft and what all the rules are in your league (ie. how many starters at each position).once in a while a RB will fall to you that should have been taken at #6, #7 or #8, and if that happens you gotta take him.However, in most cases, the top 2 Tiers of RB are gone and you are taking a flyer on someone who has potential, but may not breakout to become a top Tier player (ie. this years Ray Rice)The thing is... you may be able to grab that same player in the third round.So unless a top 8 RB is avalable when you pick, I would suggest doing one of two things:1) Go WR-WR2) Go QB-WRThe hope would be to start a run at one of those positions.If you are successful and a serious run starts on WR or QB (or both if you are lucky), you may be lucky to find yourself in a position to take a RB of similar quality in round 3.if your league rules are such, that it is to your advantage to grab a QB, and someone like Manning or Brees is available, that's a pretty good option at QB. If neither is available, then 2 WR's may well start the run on WR's you need to happen.Typically, what I would expect is that 9 or 10 of the top 11 picks will be RB's and then you will have manning or Brees thrown in there and possibly a top WR.I would run 2 or 3 mocks each with a different breakdown of selections. I'd do one where all RB's go in the first 11 picks...I'd do one where 9 of the first 11 are RB's and 1 QB and 1 WR go.I'd do one where 8 of the first 11 are RB's and 1 QB and 2 WR go.This should cover most of your scenarios there. Obviously if 2 QB go in round 1 you need to either take a RB with one of your first two picks or you double up at WR. This would seem kind of obvious so there is no need for a mock on that scenario.this exercise will hopefully help you to figure out what your likely options will be.regardless of all this, there will inevitably be one or two picks that will be right off the board and one player you thought would be gone will still be available. (happens in almost every draft) so make sure you have a good cheatsheet with rankings.in your position it is more important to know the spot where it is no longer worth your while to draft a RB ahead of a WR or a QB.As I dont know the scoring for your league, I cannot speak to this any further.Good luck
