Yep, that's a big play league for sure - rules are heavily bonused on big plays.

Still, let's see if we can find some equivalency values. You're probably right running a QB in round 1 - and personally I'd take Stafford even with his injury risk. I'd just be sure to get Shaun Hill in round 9-12 range as that Detroit QB situation will be good even if Stafford goes down.

If those top 4 QB are gone (Brady, Brees, Rodgers and Stafford) I take Calvin Johnson over Eli Manning and Cam Newton for sure. I know Eli has grown, but he's not in the same ballpark of value over these guys.

Tricky league - can you trade your pick?

You can put theres no value in doing so. Another prereq on roster limitations is that you can only have max 2 qbs on your roster at any point so I cant back up my QBs. I would have to go out during FAB bidding (done in real $) and bid for my back ups on certain nights at a local bar, which I have no problem with.

Calvin is certainly tempting but would possibly hinder me in later rounds. His pace was extraordinary last year. I know hes a dominating force, but can he repeat taht sickening pace? Historically, teams that went WR heavy in the first 3 rounds are in the bottom of the rankings and historically teams with 2 great qbs cruise....

Default Interesting...

So only 24 QB's are on rosters, and probably all 24 are being used as starters with 2 per team.

If I was drafting I can tell you I'd definitely go for Rodgers, Brady, Brees then Stafford. After that I'd take Calvin Johnson as the #5 player and go with Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy and Ray Rice before going back to QB's.

These 4 players (Calvin and the 3 RB) are on a tier of insane value all by themselves above their peers. After they are gone, going back to QB is there an OBVIOUS ton of difference between Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Matt Schaub, Cam Newton, Josh Freeman, Vick, Romo, Cutler, Roethlisberger, Carson Palmer, etc?

I'd be very tempted to take Calvin Johnson at #5 (if the top 4 QB are gone) and then in the 2nd round take one of those stud top 3 RB if any make it back to you and THEN I'd start filling my QB lineup with best available in rounds 3 and 4. For me in QB there's a top 4 - if you don't discount Stafford due to injury - and then another tier of about 12-13 players who could all shuffle within the next group. Sure I like Philip Rivers more than Carson Palmer - but I'm not at all sure the difference is more than 5-10% value. Whereas I like Calvin Johnson, then the next group of WR is 20% or more beneath. Those top RB and then a monster gap down to the #4 guy.

Just thinking out loud - but I'd go top 4 QB, Stud #1 WR, top 3 RB and then second tier QBx2

Good luck - let us know how the draft goes!
