I have the #1 overall pick. I have 3 good rb. I can't decide who to let go Drake, Burkhead, Dion L. I am keeping Juju does it give me a ceiling advantage to take Antonio Brown #1? Or take Julio #1? Or tell definitely the RB to drop then Choose Gurley #1?

This is a tough call here because there is lots of things to consider. Is your league PPR? You can only keep three guys?

I just posted a news story the other day that Gillislee could be back in the fold for NE which means there will be three backs looking for carries, potentially. Of the three backs you have, I would probably let Rex go just because 1. I think you could get him later, and 2. mostly because I think things are up in the air with how NE will handle its backs - like it pretty much always is most of the year.

If it's PPR, obviously Lewis you keep. MAYBE if it's standard you could drop Lewis, but I still think Drake and Lewis are the backs you keep.

Pretty much with how your team is built, it makes total sense to take a WR at 1. I would rather have Brown, but now you have the question of having two Steeler WRs in your lineup. I don't think Jones is a bad 1A option if you prefer to keep things balanced out.

Now, that said, I don't know that I could pass on Gurley at 1. Gurley just went first overall in our first staff mock of the year. If you can get all three RBs in your lineup every week, then I would personally take Gurley. But if you only play two RBs or you just play more WRs overall, and you really want some balance and flexibility for your second round pick, it makes a lot of sense to go with Jones first. That gives you the option to take anything with your second pick where if you draft Gurley first you pretty much need to look at WR next. That all has to do with comfort level in how you draft as well...
