Fantasy football draft pick

[Abbey Marie]

We had our draft last night, and I happened to get the 1st pick. Just out of curiosity, if this happened to you, who would you have chosen? Are you a believer, as many are, in getting the best RB you can first, no matter what? Or is there someone in another position who you really would want to have on your team?

I'll say who I did pick, after some comments.

Personally ( and I am probably wrong in most peoples opinions ) but I would say a great QB first , but to me you need receivers , running backs and one hell of a defense to be #1. A team can do wonders with a great Defense but they still have to put at least one score on the board, I say QB because he is your leader ( although I have seen super star RB's take the lead usually it is the QB )

[Perianne]

Quarterback first.

I have never had a fantasy team and don't really understand the appeal. But I do know that your first choice needs to be a quarterback. Preferably from a really good team with a low chance for injury. Or less likelihood to be suspended or smacked in the jaw by a teammate.

I have been doing fantasy football for 4 years, and I can tell you that the "experts", and just about everyone I draft with chooses an RB first. Good QBs are actually easier to get on your team.

What I said about quarterbacks first applies to actual football. I have no idea about fantasy football, so I should not have said anything.

QB first, especially if you picked Andrew Luck!

Take the following and you cannot go wrong:

RB - Le'veon Bell
QB - Ben Roethlisberger
WR - Antonio Brown

Understood

Did anyone pick up Green Bay's other receiver? His stock should have shot through the stratosphere.

^^ Not me, I don't do the fantasy football, too hard and I'm too dumb. I would pick all steelers players all the time and lose all my money.

Then pick Cowboys.

Then pick Cowboys.

It's one thing to lose, it's another to be laughed at. If I picked nothing but Cowboys they would put a helmet on me and stick me in the short bus.
