    What is your draft strategy?
    The last few years I have went RB RB first 2 rounds and got the best available player after that. Seemed like this strategy used to work but not anymore.
    Was thinking of going QB, then WR

    Depends on scoring

    Most leagues you gotta get rb in one of top 2

      well 9/10 if you dont get in the 1st round 1-6 position your going to get stuck with either mediocore RB or a decent wide reciever.If you cant pick up one of the best rb's go for wr or TE like gronk or gram.You can pick up a decent Qb in the 5th 6th round or even higher

          RB, RB, BPA. Hopefully get a Rice/McCoy and Charles combo if picking at 2 or 3, or CJ2K/Run DMC and Forte if later (8+).

          Would only take an elite QB if I drafted at 4-7, and would then target FJax/SJax in the third to add to Forte/Charles

              I usually take RBs early, but given the lower value and uncertainty of RBs I'll probably just be taking the best players at positions I need.

                I simply take value, taking into account positions, SOS and bye weeks (in H2H leagues especially I look at the weekly predicted points).

                    I make sure I draft only 1 kicker and 1 Defense/Special Teams.

                    I don't draft 4 QBs.

                    I try to load up on RBs and WRs and add/drop throughout the year to find a breakout player.

                    Other than that, once the draft starts all my plans for drafting specific players goes to hell when everyone I have on my board gets picked up by the guy before me.

                        That's what I do too. Taking into account bye weeks is pretty useful stuff too.

                          This is good advice to follow.

                            You need to take into account whether QBs get 4 or 6 pts for TD, it drastically changes their value. The difference between the best QBs and the middle of the pack QBs is much smaller than any other position.

                            I used to be the "you have to go RB RB" guys, but I've found if you go WR WR yo WILL basically have the better WRs each week vs your opponent while RB RB doesn't necessarily mean that. This year I went Rice/Cruz after the top 4 QBs were taken in the first 6 picks (6 pt TD league), and I think I did well getting Romo in the 4th.

                            Once the first few rounds pass, you'll find it difficult to get a decent RB but a player I got midway who might be good is Doug Martin for Tb.

                              thats a solid team imo. Of course I'm bias because I think Ridley will be a top 15 back

                                I think Ridley is a steal, especially in a PPR. Got him in the 9th and he is a lone starter with virtually nobody on his tails.
