Usually, I do a lot of research and preparing. More so than you can imagine. I think it was almost overwhelming to the point where it hurt me.
As a result, I decided this season to only casually research the options. Enough to know who's injured and some rookie sleepers and what not, but not like in years past. I think this strategy of over-analyzing backfired for sure.
In a usual draft, I'll always shoot to draft a running back with one of my first two rounds, as they're generally seen as the cornerstone of any fantasy team. This year, I chose to go with a different approach.
Running backs have been disappointing the last few years and many have decided to either draft two wide receivers at the start, or to go with a wide out and a quarterback. I decided that I would reach for a top wide receiver and a top quarterback with my first two picks.
If I had a top quarterback I could rely on and a top wide receiver, I could easily snag two serviceable running backs in the middle rounds of the draft. There are plenty out there this year.
Anyway, I decided to take Tom Brady with my first pick (at #5), and then I took Andre Johnson, who led the league in receiving yards last year, on the way back. I wanted another top receiver from here, and Greg Jennings fit the bill in the third round. Next, I chose Matt Schaub at QB in the 4th round of the draft.
Then it was time for the running backs. And I can't say I'm disappointed. Ronnie Brown and Pierre Thomas were both still available with my next two picks, and both of these guys have top 10 potential. I think my strategy will pay off.
