I draft 10th. I always go 3 RBS sometimes 4 off the bat every year (I have won 2 of the 4 years of our leagues existence). I always start 3 RB. So normally I would just keep J. Charles and away we go to drafting Forsett, Gore and either Ellington or Stewart......BUT
Gronk is so much better at his position than anyone else wouldn't that give you a worthy advantage every game. My Mock Drafts have pretty much gone like so
1. J. Charles 211
2. J. Forsett 176
3. F. Gore 183
4. A. Ellington 148 (718)
5. WR or QB
or
1. R. Gronkowski
2. J. Forsett 176
3. F. Gore 183
4. J. Stewart 157
5. A. Ellington 148 (664)
The difference is 54 pts over 13 games that is 4.15 pts per game. Gronk would usually make up for that vs the opposing TE every game......Am i missing something
Your thoughts on this matter.....thanks
I would stick with Charles, and I think I'm like you - a RB guy who will try to take and play as many as the lineup will possibly allow (and I play in a league where I can start between 1-4). There's certainly a case for Gronk - as you said - someone who is far superior at the position, but I've had success with getting a good enough TE in the mid-to-late rounds (Olsen was my guy last year). For me, it's a matter of comfort I guess. Last year I messed around in MFL10 taking Graham early - like first round early - and I just didn't like how the rest of the draft fell for me. Being a RB guy, just felt like I was scrambling to reach for that position.
