If it's a RB, WR etc. I don't ever say, I have to have particular position (probably except for the first round). When you have mind set that you have draft a particular way coming in, that's when you miss on players.I think we all understand this and thats why having the mindset of drafting 3 WRs or 2Wr/1RB or 2 RBs/2WR or 3RBs is not a good idea.
Having said that, there are some things that work more than others, In case of FF, certain draft strategies work more often than others. There's a good reason why experienced owners don't draft 3 WRs in a row, even if they may be the best players on their board - because they know this will put them in a disadvantge. Same goes for drafting 3 RBs.

Couldn't disagree more on 2RB/2 WRs with your first four picks. Nothing wrong with that in performance scoring. You would have to define what is a "stud" WR.

No offense but I think my wife knows that

. It goes without saying. Your RBs then would be skank if you went with three WRs with your first three picks.

There's no way to know who you are drafting with or how sharp the other owners are. There are certain things you can get away with and some things you can't. I also would agree based on simple logic that taking two WRs with your first two picks is probably not going to work based on the type of RBs you would be stuck with as your #1.

...better question GG: what % of NFFC teams made the playoffs last year with TWO quality RB's (one was Westbrook), had the backup to one of those RB's (Moats) and DROPPED him shortly before making the playoffs only to see his starting RB (Westbrook) go down and out to injury effectively CRUSHING any hopes of cashing out in the NFFC playoffs in 2005?...SNAKE I believe it was Nag who scored more points than you over the 16 week period AND won more $$ than you.

Why you CONTINUE to "tug on Superman's cape" (not just Nag, but others as well) is beyond me! :rolleyes:

Didn't you, yourself just say "When you have mind set that you have draft a particular way coming in, that's when you miss on players"? Are you saying this thought does not apply to 2RB/2WR as it would to other combinations?

No offense to Adam or Tom, I'm sure they know their stuff, but I am quite pleased to see experts defend the 3RB draft strategy in WCOFF. The more people overvalue and reach for RBs in that format, the better it is for me.
