Hey, thanks for citing my draft strategy! Much appreciated!

Really, the crux of the idea is to eschew runners in the first three rounds (with the exception being the AAA guys in the very first picks), and go with the relative safety of elite WRs and QBs. Then, take a slew of runners in the middle rounds, knowing that one or two of your sleepers will pan out.

Hey Smartypants,

If it’s no longer taboo to grab a Peyton Manning or a Tom Brady then why do they both have restraining orders against me?

So, you should see who is still available and then pick the best? What a brilliant strategy.

See the draft, be the draft.

Yes, but then there will be running backs available that are actually worthy of being selected in the spot in which you would previously have “done the opposite”.

It’s all about letting the draft come to you.

Of course, when everyone takes this strategy, you still have to do the opposite, and revert back to original thinking of going RB early…
