I agree with Mike's commentary. I do think WR4 and even WR3 may be going too early, especially in DCs. It's a balancing act though. It's tough getting caught in a WR run and knowing whether to follow it and zig or if the run is over and you should zag. I ran into this in a DC I did a few weeks back. Picking in the middle I took D.Johnson, A. Jeffery, and S. Watkins with my first 3 picks. Leading up to my 4th pick there was a big WR run (10 in a row) and I felt like I had to get my WR3 at pick 43. 29 WR had been taken in the first 42 picks! My projections had a pretty big drop off at WR after WR34. I took Emmanuel Sanders at WR30, but about a round early according to his ADP. Then only one WR was taken in the next 15 picks, ugh! Fortunately I got C.J. Anderson at pick 54, about a round later than his ADP, so it balanced out.

This will be a very interesting year drafting. There will be so many different potential strategies and each draft could be completely different. It will pay to be flexible I think.

Pretty late for amari I think

[Sandman62]

Pretty late for amari I think

Demaryius went late too, but the real steal may have been Rodgers a full 2 rounds past his ADP?!

[got heeem]

This one is 10 teams not 12.That why the adp difference.
