What would your draft strategy be ? (1 Viewer)

Hey guys, standard scoring league, PPR, QB, RB, WR, WR, OP, WR/TE/RB, TE, K, D

2 QB roster limit

I have the #4 pick and LJ is my keeper, the majority of the league has stud RB as their keeper

RB left in the pool are Tiki, Steve Jackson, Ronnie Brown, Lamont Jordan, one of them will be mine. Peyton and the stud WR are keepers

I am thinking to obviously draft one of the aforementioned RBs and then on the turn take best WR and QB on the board because once a run starts going it will be pretty bear by the time it comes back to me for my 4th and 5th picks

So my question is, is it right to build the core of my team with best starters available and then go for sleepers to fill out the rest of my team, or go about it another way?

Sharks, your advice is always appreciated!

RB, WR, WR... then find the best value at RB, WR, TE and QB from there. Unless your league goes QB crazy, there should be nice value around the 5th round.

See thats what Im worried about, since there is only 2 QB max on the roster there is the possibility that the league could go on a QB splurge right after I go WR-WR with my 4th and 5th pick (lets say LJ keeper, Lamont Jordan, WR, WR,) and then with 6th round all of the QBs are gone, I know Brady and Palmer will not be a possibility unless I take them with my first pick so Im looking for value or even Simms and Rivers I would be very happy with...LJ, RB, WR, (QB, WR, or Best available)?

ADP for QB's is not nearly that high, but you know your league's tendencies, I don't. You can check out the results of several 16 team drafts in the Mock Drafts area - some of them packed with "experts," to see where QB's have been going. Especially since you're guaranteed to be able to draft two, I can't imagine guys are going to burn 4th and 5th rounders. If you see that it's happening way early (say the 4th), grab one QB to cover yourself and continue filling out your roster. If there are only a couple of guys off the board, stick to your strategy and grab the value guys later - there are a TON of QB's with about the same potential this year.

Why? Plenty of others around here aren't.
