I'd do it too, but I'm already in six leagues (2 dynasties, 2 keepers, and 2 re-drafts)...it's a sickness.

I did a fantasy draft for a girl two weeks ago (dunno why her friends did it so early).

She had first pick.... and somehow I ended up getting aaron rogers, the #2 and #3 recievers, two top 15 running backs, a top 3 kicker, top 5 defense.

I've never seen other players draft so terribly. Someone took a defense in the 3rd round. THE THIRD ROUND

She's an 18 year old senior in high school who is friends with TKjr and Brant Mitchell. If she were Attractive in any way, I would wife her this instant.

You took Aaron Rodger first overall and you are complaining about people drafting poorly?

You mean the QB who virtually every writer or website has as the #1 take overall in any league for the second year running? yes. That guy.

You're confused my man lol. Not ESPN, Yahoo or CBS, the three major sources for fantasy sports. It is AP #1 on all of them. ARod isn't even top 10 on most reputable sites.

If this was a two QB league you did then that would be acceptable though.

I always have and always will take the best QB first before anything, and many of the sites I frequent agree as well. I can say I've won more leagues than I've lost with that style, but if you're doing a Qb/RB/RB/WR/WR/Flex/TE/K/D league then I have always and will always take a QB first. Even for the all mighty Adrian peterson (whose stats will undoubtedly go down this year). Two great RBs and the best QB are better than the best RB a good RB and a good QB.

Unless it is a superflex league (start 2QBs), or a heavily weighted QB scoring league, QBs generally (let me stress generally) will be drafted after the top 8-10 elite RBs, the very elite WRs (more so in PPR format), and maybe Jimmy Graham (because of positional advantage over the rest of the TE field).

In 12-team and smaller leagues that only start 1 QB, the field is diluted because there are enough quality starters at QB to allow for each team to have one, thus lessening their importance. This isn't true of 3-down, bellcow RBs (in a world where most NFL teams employ a RBBC approach) and WRs with potential to catch 100-110 balls.

On occasion, someone bucks that trend and takes a QB earlier than most (almost always Rodgers in redraft leagues). There's no right or wrong way to build a team, especially in balanced scoring leagues, and I won't fault you for taking Rodgers as the safe pick.

I will personally side with omghulkhands in the sense that I almost always take a QB in the mid-rounds in standard scoring leagues. I just prefer to stock up at the other skill positions because there are clearly defined and limited tiers at RB, WR, and to an extent, TE. But, that's just my preference.

I can't agree this year. QB is deeper this year then it has probably ever been, this of course brought on by the explosion of great young guys last year. You can pick up the likes of RGIII, Russel Wilson, Kaep, Luck and stafford in the later rounds at higher values than selecting a QB early and passing on elite RB talent.

At the opposite end RB is scary shallow. Look at this example. The difference in round 1 QB and round 8 QB is Rodgers - Luck
The difference in Round 1 RB to round 9 RB is AP - Leveon Bell or Benjarvis Green-Ellis

In a nutshell there is more value to be had in selecting RBs early and waiting on a QB this year. The stat difference in a kaepernick and Rodgers won't be significant enough, especially since you only start 1 QB. The difference in RB talent is very significant though IMO as I detailed above.

How/when will this be set up? I never posted an email address for any of the top-secret Gruden emails. Just want to make sure I don't miss the notification.
