Fantasy Draft

Okay, I haven't seen a draft thread yet, so here goes. My first draft is next weekend. This is for a standard scoring league (10 yds = 1 pt. for RB's and WR's and 25 yds = 1 pt. for QB's. TD's are 6 pts., etc. This league does offer return yardage credits with 10 yds. per punt return = 1 pt. and 25 yds. per kickoff = 1 pt.) with no fractional scoring. I typically believe in RB, RB, RB for my first 3 picks, but I'm starting to think differently. 17 of the top 30 scoring players in the league last year were QB's. Granted, the gap between the #3 QB and the #10 QB isn't huge, but still.

So, I'm going to throw out my top players to try and get. Thoughts/opinions from you other gurus???

1. LT
2. Westbrook
3. Addai
4. Peterson
5. Brady
6. Steven Jackson
7. Romo
8. Randy Moss
9. Brees
10. Portis

Just because I love numbers...

Last season's top 5 passers by yardage and top 5 passers by touchdowns, versus last season's top 5 rushers by yardage and top 5 rushers by touchdowns:

Those stats show what I'm talking about more or less. In my league, I play 1 QB and up to 3 RB's. Unless I can get Brady or possibly Romo (I think he will have a big year), I'm better to load up on RB's and then take a QB ranked 7-10 in round 4+. There just isn't that much difference in the QB's from 3-10, so it isn't worth spending the high picks on them. The same is true of WR's, at least based on scoring in my league.

Last year I was able to start Hasselbeck along with Addai, Barber, and Jones-Drew. The backs were my first 3 picks. I grabbed Hasselbeck in round 5 and then Braylon Edwards in round 8. It was a 12 team league. I can get a # 3-10 quality QB in round 5, but not a RB with those rankings.
