If you can't get an elite RB in Round 1 I think you almost have to go Elite QB.
but then you went 3 WRS and left you very shallow at RB
DeAngelo Williams could have a bounceback year but now hes got 3 vultures on his team, Cam, Johnathan Stewart, and the most notorious of all, Mike Tolbert.
I like your first draft better.

I hear ya....but this is the time I use to do my homework...most of the guys in my league aren't even thinking about draft strategies lol
That's how I stole Rodgers at #4 and cruised to a Championship
Honestly, Rodgers at 4 is not a steal. Seems about right to me.

Manning in the 4th seems like a reach. He's been going much later in all mocks I have been in.
