Every year when preparing for my fantasy draft, I come up with a plan of who I am going to take in every round. Anyone that does fantasy knows that it is impossible to get everyone you want. However, I once again had this list, so I thought I'd share it.
Here' how it works:
1) I go by the ADP rankings on Mockdraftcentral.com
2) I select which player I'd ideally want to draft from every set of 10 (1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc)
3) I adjust accordingly based on the need to fill all position and backup every position
It's pretty simple, so here's the players I took and where they were ranked:
1-10: (5) Aaron Rodgers
11-20: (12) Jimmy Graham
21-30: (21) Steven Jackson
31-40: (38) Brandon Marshall
41-50: (41) AJ Green
51-60: (54) Jordy Nelson
61-70: (65) BenJarvus Green-Ellis
71-80: (71) Donald Brown
81-90: (83) Dwayne Bowe
91-100: (95) Jay Cutler
101-110: (105) Eric Decker
111-120: (113) Cedric Benson
121-130: (130) Houston
131-140: (140) Titus Young
141-150: (14!) Robbie Gould
Here' the roster breakdown:
QB: Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler
WR: Brandon Marshall, AJ Green, Jordy Nelson, Dwayne Bowe, Eric Decker, Titus Young
RB: Steven Jackson, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Donald Brown, Cedric Benson
TE: Jimmy Graham
K: Robbie Gould
DEF: Houston
Overall, I feel this team would be a lock for the playoffs in any league. Rodgers is nearly unstoppable and Jimmy Graham is going to end the year in his own tier when it comes to tight ends (I like Gronk, but his numbers will be well under Graham's). Brandon Marshall is back with the Cutler; together they were one of the most dangerous aerial attacks. I don't actually like the Jordy Nelson pick (I think he had his career year last year, but he was the best player available. Bowe should return to form this season, Decker will be Peyton's favorite target (which equals big fantasy production) and Titus Young is in a situation in which he could be a top-15 fantasy WR. I believe in the Law Firm more than most and SJax still has something left in the tank. Brown and Benson are both starting runningbacks and could easily find themselves in the starting lineup depending on matchups. If you have this team or something close to it, you should be happy.
