What should your top pick be in your fantasy football league ?

                              Fantasy football draft                                          

  Every year we go through the positions trying to decide who and what position should be drafted as our # 1 pick in the first round. Most never change what position they will draft first.The running back position has been valued very high in fantasy since the beginning of the game. But the game is changing. And if you play in a ppr league as I do. You need running backs who catch the ball almost better than they can run it. There are very few backs in the NFL that can do so. This is why the value of the running back position is so high and are usually taken first over all. Some choose to take a high scoring QB in the first round. But every year their are about 13-14 good quarter backs in the league. And the rookies coming into the league now don't play like rookies that came into the league ten years ago, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Nick Foles, RG3.
The NFL is to deep at this position to draft a quarterback with your first pick. They are very few, but some always take a wide receiver with there first pick, if their picking at the bottom of the first round. The reason why, Calvin Johnson. Can you blame them? The best receiver in the game today and most likely ever. He's in a tight ends body , with the skills of a wide out. Calvin can out jump you at 6'5'', he can out muscle you at 250 pounds, and he can flat out out run you with 4.3 speed in the 40 yard dash. How could anyone argue that Calvin Johnson is not worth a first round pick? I won't. Bottom line is the NFL is becoming more and more of a pass happy league. Ever year the rules on D-backs are stiffened and this pass off season was no different. If you want to win your league you have to take over your draft. Draft Running backs and wide outs first. Don't take a QB until around the 5-6 round. Do your home work on the tight end position. There are a couple good tight ends coming into the league that you could pick up late.So remember, your valued positions are running back and wide out. Good luck.
