I'd target running back early, I looked at the ESPN rankings the other day and once you get to around #15, it drops off. The top 10 or 11 backs go in the first two rounds.

the top RBs have always been going very early. Yeah but this year it seems like the position is paper thin. Also see guys like Gronk going super early, as good as he is, I wouldn't think of taking him until around round 4 or 5. |

But Gronk is worth a 1st rounder considering the drop off between his production and all the other TEs. Sure if you don't have a TE position in the league he's not as great but if you do that's production from a spot you don't get much from. |

True, but I'd rather load up at running back first than taking Gronk. I like Kelce, I think he'll be a beast. Jordan Reed if he stays healthy can be a top five tight end. I guess my point is, if you don't have at least one top notch running back then the chances of succeeding are slim IMO, unless you make a trade. |

But as said before the running back position has become so interchangable that other then the top few there is so much uncertainty as who will be a started. Then you got guys who age out. It's a crap shoot |

Depending on which Fantasy provider you are using, some of the good RBs are a bit low. I was able to get Shady and Doug Martin in the 4th and 7th rounds. I also picked up Carlos Hyde as their backups and Arian Foster just in case he comes back earlier than later. I must say, Yahoo's Draft Report Card is silly as f***. They say I project as finishing 6th based on my draft grade, yet my grade is the same as the five teams "ahead" of me. Then try to say Ryan Tannehill and Tom Brady are the worst QB duo in my league when one team only has one QB (Peyton) and another has a QB tandem of Russell Wilson and Eli Manning. |

So I went to sign up for my yearly Yahoo draft and something happened so I assumed I missed out on my chance to join that league and tried again. What I didn't know is that the first one did go through so I was on autodraft that whole time while I was drafting a second team. So that first team is going to SUCK.

ESPN Team. Yeah my time was half Auto Drafted because of Wifi issues at the place we went to draft. Since I play with friend we do a big party deal. Of course just before Draft started the place kicked my out there Wifi and Two rounds came past by the time I got back in and both times auto picked an RB for me. So missed up my game plan but this is what I got. Putting them in draft Starting line up.
QB: Drew Breeze
RB1: Jamaal Charles
RB2: CJ Anderson
WR1: Alshon Jeffrey
WR2: Keenan Allen
WR/TE: Vincent Jackson
TE: Travis Kelce
D/ST: Rams
K: Justin Tucker
Bench:
QB: Philip Rivers
RB: Joique Bell
TE: Larry Donnell
WR: Alan Robinson

Yeah It is great to have to great RBs but had I drafted my own way I would went RB, WR, QB,

Got a draft in two hours. Any early suggestions?
I'm thinking Josh Hill at TE for my bench. Davante Adams is another popular choice.

QB class is deep, I think you should pass on Gronk in Rounds 1 and 2. Had an ESPN draft last night: QB - Brady/Stafford RB - Anderson/Hill/Martin/Forsett/Michael. Sidenote about this, I didn't realize Hill and Anderson had bye weeks on the same week so I went RB heavier than usual WR - Cooks/Landry/Wright/Wheaton TE - Walker/Ertz Defense - Jets and Patriots K - Gostkowski |

I'm doing a Yahoo league that had keepers this year, which bit me in the ass this year as I didn't know how they affected the draft. I probably would've skipped picking keepers if I knew ahead of time that it'd cost me a chance at drafting Peterson or Lacey.
Still, I managed to get a pretty decent lineup for the Quinzee Deflators, with Arian Foster waiting in the wings to come back from his groin injury.
