Fantasy Football Draft Strategy

Okay, I've had two live fantasy football drafts since I last posted and heres how I went by round. Rd 1: RB Rd 2: RB Rd 3: QB Rd 4: WR Rd 5: QB Rd 6: TE Rd 7: DEF Rd 8: WR Rd 9: RB Rd 10: DL Rd 11: K Rd 12: DL Rd 13: DB Rd 14: RB Rd 15: K Rd 16: DL Rd 17: WR Rd 18: DL Rd 19: DB Rd 20: DEF Rd 21: WR Rd 22: TE Rd 23: DB

I haven't sat down and put together any strategy or rosters but I always go RB in the 1st round.

It usually depends on the number of teams or the format of your starting line up. I'm in a lot of leagues with different systems but I always do the same regardless. If I have the chance to get a top 3 back, done deal. If I'm picking around the number 5-7 I might take Peyton Manning if he's still there. Most the time some idiot will take him with one of the first five picks so if you want a solid team here you go. RB, RB, RB, QB, QB, then look to see if any running backs that might be in the top 20 have fell. If so draft them no matter what, you can always trade one for a quality receiver down the road. Don't worry about TEs as they are to inconsistent. When you draft your QBs, take the best available 2. If you have some deep sleeper your thinking about wait until the later rounds. Don't blow a 5th round pick on Steve McNair!
