Best strategy for drafting this season

    Ive heard of guys wanting to go WR/WR with their 1st 2 picks this year and going young and taking guys like Green/Julio to start. Not a terrible idea considering their potential but I think with all the fairly young potential at the WR position this year that would not be the way Id start it. Here is a discussion I had about this topic earlier this am:

    My only problem with starting with AJ Green and Julio is that theres so much more value at the WR position later…young talent too capable of being a top 5 WR like Kenny Britt. Id rather take a RB like DMac, CJ3, Richardson, Mathews, Murray followed by Julio and Britt than Green, Julio followed by Spiller or Sproles. Thats just me though. Guys like Brandon Marshall, Colston, Wallace, Jennings, V Jax, Nelson, Austin, Harvin, etc..will be there for you in rounds 4-6 while RBs like J Stew, rookies not T Rich, Greene are there with them. Id almost rather go QB, RB, WR, WR, TE and get Stafford, T Rich (or Mathews, Murray), Roddy, Britt, V Davis. I just mocked it out in a 12 team dynasty format and got almost that exact roster:

    1: Stafford, Matthew (QB)
    2: Richardson, Trent (RB)
    3: Jones, Julio (WR)
    4: Britt, Kenny (WR)
    5: Davis, Vernon (TE)

    …and I reached for a couple of them. My next 2 picks were Harvin and D Thomas (D Thomas will prob not be there this late now though) so WR is too deep to take those guys 1 and 2 IMO and based off the evidence too.

    Thought this would be a good discussion here as well. Thoughts?

    (disclaimer: as Ive said before having a script and sticking to it no matter what is never a good idea though)

    I really like your strategy for that drafting spot. You made some excellent points.

    I think as long as you can get one of Stafford, Cam or Rodgers, that is the right move. However, if you can grab Foster, McCoy or Rice, i think the way to go is RB/TE/QB/WR/WR. this way you walk away with a stud RB, Graham or Gronk, Rivers type QB, and The same calibur WR that JR mentioned. I see Graham or Gronk as a #1WR. So I guess it all depends on where your 1st round pick falls.

    in a recent 16 startup i did gronk and graham went at 1-14 and 2-1..., i went from the 1-08 stafford,dmac,spiller,bowe,d jax,gore,rice all in all not a bad draft from the middle..I hate THE middle this year...too much reaching you have to do..

    Its a nice looking roster for a 16 teamer. Heck, thats a nice roster for a 12 teamer. Nice job bd.

    I think we ought to consider getting a DC inaugural dynasty league going here and see some different drafting strategies in action.  What do you guys say?

    You mean doing a mock dynasty draft or starting an actual league?

    I'm down to 7 but could squeeze in one more if it were in the $100 range.
