JERRY DONABEDIAN: My favorite draft strategy is running back round one, tight end round two, and then just hammer wide receiver. I'm not as concerned with having quantity at running back, but I do think I'm OK if my RB two spot I end up rotating guys. One thing I'll do is I'll just load up Tarik Cohen and James White if we're talking a PPR league, those kind of guys who I think are maybe a little undervalued in PPR.

But yeah, I like to take advantage of the fact that there's better depth at wide receiver and the fact that those two guys especially, Kelce and Kittle, they're so far ahead of the pack. I think one thing people maybe avoid them because they're so sure that their late-round-- they're gonna find the next Darren Waller basically.

I love TJ Hockenson. I like Mike Gesicki. I have those guys every year, and like three out of four times they end up being a disappointment.

So it's fine to draft TJ Hockenson. Like, whatever, I can take him 10 rounds later. But I shouldn't not draft George Kittle because I'm worried that he's blocking TJ Hockenson or Mike Gesicki from a starting spot.

DALTON DEL DON: Yeah, to finish the draft strategy talk, I'm all in on just running back heavy heavy. And you pointed on it. One of the reasons I like that-- you pointed it out-- is that wide receiver, not only is it deep, but there's this gigantic tier in the middle rounds that I think are just valued very differently among drafters. Certainly my draft board. So it just works out well.
