    To me if you can get Rice second that's the way to go. If you can't get Rice and PPR I would go Rodgers or Megatron. I'm just not sold on Mcoy or Foster.

    RB thing is getting silly I'm seeing Jamal Charles got before Brady, Bree's ect.

    I just think in todays NFL the QBs are so much safer than RBs. Aaron Rodger, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees will put up more points than anyone this year. Of those 3 I like Brady the most. McDaniels back and more weapons and an easier schedule......Seems too easy.

    I might look stupid on draft day but im thinking about taking Brady with 2nd pick. Every time I have a high draft pick and I take RB I get burned. How did Jamall Charles and Chris Johnson workout in the top 5 last year.

    Also Im thinking by take QB early with the second pick I could make create a run on QBs that will let some other RBs slide to me at 19

    Follow the cheat sheets.
    Cuff your backs, backs aren't lasting like they use to.

    The winner of your league will make the best free agent pickups.

    My draft is tonight.....Im hoping to get around 5 or 6 so my decision isnt as important.
    Take a big RB is he drops, if not grab Rodgers or Brees.

    Bad strategy drafting QB-TE 1-2... you are gonna have absolute garbage at RB... after round 2 you need at least 1 RB...

    there are so many 2 rb combo's its crazy, how many rb's have played a 16 game season? not many always missing a couple of games. i would only do it with those 2 te's. i would think about calvin 1st and stafford 2nd also

    Whatever you do draft at least 4 good running backs because this will be a viscious year for injuries. Take ARodg or Brees with the second pick.

    Draft is all about tiers, IMO - especially Snake drafts.

    figure out which tiers players belong in, and it is a lot easier.

    For instance. Calvin Johnson is in tier 1 all by himself, the drop off after him is rather significant. Ray Rice, McCoy and Foster are tier 1 backs. These guys are who you take if you are drafting in the top 3.

    Let someone draft Aaron Rodgers, and then go for Matt Ryan who put up decent points last year - and is setup for huge points this year.

    Your picking 2nd? Take Ray Rice.

    I picked first in my PPR draft, and I took him #1. I also drafted Ben Tate in the 9th round.

    Rice Foster or McCoy......Can't go wrong. Calvin if you wanna be different......

    You can get a great QB in round 4 even.....

    Although if you are dead set on QB, its gotta be Aaron Rodgers

    Combo? what are you even talking about...
    You are proving my point... If the value on a good RB wasn't already high enough this year, that makes it even more important to have good ones if you are talking about injuries. Of course they are going to get injured, you really have to have a good ones....

    By the way, if you draft both Calvin Johnson and Stafford this season 1-2.... I can guarantee you will not win your league and you can save this post... worst possible strategy you can use
