    WTF, Watkins traded to LAR for EJ Gaines??? Now... where do you draft Watkins?

    And BUF just acquired Jordan Mathews. I had been looking at drafting Taylor... now thinking that one over.

    Instant downgrades for Tyrod and Watkins. Puzzling trade.

    Rethinking my entire draft strategy. Now going with the Bandwagon strategy... "just draft New England Patriots."

    You certainly could, which isn't always possible to do (draft an entire team's main weapons). It'd be interesting to see.

    I know the answer here, but it's literally the only keeper question I have, so thought I'd ask. Michael Thomas for a 7th or Rob Kelley for a 15th?

    Michael Thomas for a 7th is wonderful. Take him to the bank.

    What about Gordon for a 3rd or Thomas for a 7th. Still feeling the latter, but it's draft day and I'm starting to second guess myself.

    I would hang on to Thomas he is in for a monster year -- the 3rd/7th makes it a no brainer.

    I'd stay away from Mcaffery early.

    Reminds me of Reggie Bush.

    Yeesh... I ended up with 12th out 12. Hopefully someone like Evans or Jordy slips to there. Would it make sense to choose a RB (maybe Murray slips down, or Howard or Ajayi) with the next pick (thinking it will be a long time before my next pick), or just pick BPA?

    PPR or Standard? What roster positions? Is there a flex?

    Standard (weird its called non-PPR in some drafts). Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN. The Flex is WR/RB/TE.

    With a flex, I would definitely look at starting WR heavy. You know from the gate you won't be able to land one of the elite RBs. Nabbing 2 WRs at the turn at least puts you on solid footing there. By stocking up on WR your goal is to maximize the flex to its full potential.

    I went 16-1 in my league with them (we don't do playoffs).

    Being in a PPR league, who is the consensus top 5? I'm a week out from my draft and have done absolutely 0 research.

    QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN

    I've got the 5th pick. DJ, Bell, Brown, McCoy, JJ, Evans, OBJ are my 1st 7 on the big board. Looks about right?

    Go Best Player Available at 8. Remember that RB is harder to find in the later round. I'm going RB BPA BPA(Different position)
