Here was my strategy going in :
QB : Get Wilson and Palmer on the cheap. I believe one of the two will be in the top 6-7 and that's good enough for me.
RB : Go for Adrian Peterson if I somehow get first pick. If not, go for CJ Spiller. Get Frank Gore on the cheap. Everyone thinks he's washed up every year, nobody likes him, and I can always get him cheap.
WR : Dez Bryant will be first priority if I don't get one of my 2 running back studs. In the later rounds, try to get a good bargain on Cecil Shorts or TY Hilton.
TE : If I can't get a Top 3, get at least one steady rock and another with big potential.
PK and D : I'll play it by ear.
Like I said, if I couldn't get Peterson or Spiller, I'd get Dez. This guy was unbelievable last ten games of the 2012 season and I think he'll continue to have his way and become an all-out monster.
Well, he was still there! Last year was terrible, but I really believe Carson Palmer will resurrect him as a dominant receiver.
Whew! I'm pleased. I was able to sneak Gore in the 3rd round and, in my opinion, I have 3 total studs.
This Lamar Miller is supposed to be the guy in Miami. I know so little about him except he's supposed to be quick and maybe a 3-down back. I like that he works out with Frank Gore and, if he's a good protege, will hit those holes quick. I'm rolling the dice with him!
Tony Gonzalez might have been a good move but I have to admit Shorts is sort of a sentimental favorite that really could have a monster year. He's added ten pounds of muscle and seems to be taking on a leadership role on the team. I would really regret it if I let him get away and he became a breakout.
Ok, I got one of my quarterbacks!
He showed flashes this year and they're already talking about his maturity this year. Explosive!
Here was a situation where I needed some depth at running back and the scroll-bar of available backs were listed by ADP rank. I did some quick research and liked what I saw. I decided to take a shot at this little-known prospect. Besides, rookie running backs are fun!
Ok, here's my rock-solid vanilla tight end. Reliable.
I try this every year. I still think he's an absolute beast! Someday, someday, he'll get his chance. I hope it's early in the season so I don't have to release him.
Hey, a top 3 defense. Also, they won't be on the field long with their new offensive weapons.
I felt this was a mistake as soon as I did it. A rookie receiver on the Patriots? He's high in the rankings, must be a reason. But not knowing why bothers me.
Well, he's supposed to be a top tight end...
Very underrated. So many targets and I could start him if I'm in a pinch.
I got both my QB's on the cheap! I realize I maybe could have picked him up off waivers but decided not to take a chance - just a hunch.
Big leg.
