4th pick in my draft, before the zeke suspension was expecting zeke or AB. Made t clear with hai suspension it was then down to Julio or OBJ but now I spoke to the guy picking third and he's REALLY high on obj and basically said he's going with OBJ or Melvin Gordon or if zeke suspension is redecuded.
He was dead serious but I'd be hype grabbing AB even though I think I'm cursed with FF especially in this league dude would end up having a bad season

unlike my normal self for the past two years, I drafted a QB early for one of my leagues. Kinda regret. This is my team so far. Wish I used that Brady pick on a better RB or WR or TE.
Team looks good
Imagine if you picked another RB/WR instead of Brady
Don't like taking top QB anyways

Draft done. Standard scoring.
QB: GOAT Brady (Impulse pick. Should have waited for a QB tbh)
RB: Dalvin, Macfadden, D Henry, Riddick, Duke Johnson, Burkhead (my weakest position for sure. Hope I can grab someone off waivers or one of the later rd guys come through)
WR: AJ, Mike Thomas, Martavis Bryant, Emmanuel Sanders, Jordan Matthews (Stoked Thomas made it to me at the start of the second. Solid WR core for sure.)
TE: Eifert

What sucks is Hunts stock is sky high so everyone from here on out gotta adjust and grab him extra early and not late rounds

Damn the one negative to drafting Dalvin Cook is I'm now forced to watch Sam Bradford play football every weekend

I think he can have a good year, but I'm playing him as my 3rd WR this season so I'm not relying on him to carry my WR corps, and I have other receivers that can take his place if he has a bad stretch of games.

I'd rather stay away from Watkins and A-Rob completely...let somebody else deal with them.

Is this whole 3 WR first three picks just some sort of challenge to yourself? Or a successful strategy? I always go hard with RBs and make playoffs every year.

In PPR I tend to draft WR heavy as the group yields more points.
But my first 2 picks of the draft are usually RB (Freeman + Gordon) with Doug Martin in 4 weeks and Tevin as my handcuff. I usually go RB heavy first as you get to the 3rd round and the dip in productivity drops greatly unless you hit on a random great situation. (Ajayi last year and I'm sure a couple others).
This tends to be my strategy and I've made the playoffs every year but one, league is now 7 years old.

Man I'm fulllly regretting picking Dalvin Cook over Kareem Hunt already after seeing Murray on the field a bunch tonight. Hunt has no competition for carries, a better OL and a coach that wants to ride his RB and defense.
