the dilemma of determining value (1 Viewer)

[masterflor]

i make this topic originally in reference to my position in my upcoming draft (8th pick of 12 in a non ppr redraft)

however i think many people if not all face these decisions.

this year i feel i've set a bar that after the rb's named mcgahee, henry, reggie, rudi, and maroney are gone, everyone else becomes less of a sure thing.

you stare at people like MJD(rbbc), Portis(injury), Thomas Jones(value not great at 2.04), Ronnie Brown( i dont like you) and it's hard to think on the surface that taking one of these players is smarter than taking the likes of chad johnson, steve smith, reggie and marvin.

however, although many people have considered this a deep rb draft, i have hard time feeling comfortable with a starting rb2 past cedric benson. yes duece mccalister type players will put up numbers but id rather not have to rely on julius jones pulling through to secure my 2nd rb spot. ( we only start 2 in my league).

I guess my main question is, what have most of you in a similar situation been leaning towards when you're faced with the option of #12-16 type rbs vs #2-5 type wrs knowing that you would be happy starting #20 something wr but NOT #20 something rb.

hope this made sense. thanks in advance

The topic title says it all.

I'll tell you from experience.

I was sitting in the 2nd round of our 16 team re-draft and had my RB1 squared away. We also have a one keeper who on my squad was a productive rookie RB.

I'll tell you this... I grabbed TO and shoulda taken Tiki Barber.

Solid starting RB's are harder to find than WR's.

yeah i mean the dilemma for me now lies within taking that rb 2 where i feel less confident about the rbs( but even less happy about the ones after that group) when i see the "sure thing" wrs on the board
