Exactly. Look at how much cam dropped in the second half. Also look historically at rushing td's for a qb.

How many teams make the playoffs?

Carolina bolstered their running attack to save cam from the goalline pounding. Enter mike Tolbert.

I actually like Grahm more than Gronk this year. How high did he go? I wanted to pick him in 2nd round per similar logic that you used, but I missed my draft and needless to say the autopick did not select the way I would have liked. He went in 3rd round. I also wanted RGIII in a later round as a back up and looks like my "strategy" would have been on point, but alas, I missed my draft and ended up with an inferior autodraft team. I rue the day of missing the draft, and now have a season of pain.

Gronkowski is my first-round fantasy pick. Hubba Hubba!

Oh, wait, you're talking about something else. Carry on.

And per your original point, I think TE in 1st few picks was too high.

Late in round one, maybe, a bit of a stretch but there is some logic there. Probably sound in the 2nd round. A top QB and RB seem fairly essential to being a top team.

And like I said, Grahm may outperform Gronk this year.

wolferine-you can set a lits for the autodraft, no? i imagine there will always be someplace where you would have chosen differently if there live, but missing a guy you wanted in 2nd round who actually went in the third should be an easy fix if you can set your own preference order.

Going into the draft I was expecting Gronk to be gone and pick up Graham in the 2nd round. Cam Newton was still round at pick 17 though, so I took him hoping Graham might make it to my early third round pick, but he didn't make it.

Won my first game last week, and should win my second this week. The season is still young though. After all, my wife who I thought far and away had the best team might end up starting 0-2
