The way I see it, there are at best 10 quality starting QB and the rest are mediocre to decent. Closer to 20 RB but the same difference. There are 90 starting WR on each team total, and typically 2 are worth starting, so there's 60 of those right off the bat. A lot of WR emerge and can be plucked off of waivers if you pay attention, much more commonly than a QB or a RB. There are many more viable options at WR opposed to QB and RB, which is why I never spend any of my first 3 picks on a WR.
Our league is full point PPR. I went WR WR WR TE WR my first 5 rounds. I regret that 4th WR at this point since it was Allen Robinson and he didn't even make it one game without getting injured but a WR / TE heavy team dominates our league every year. The winner isn't ever the one to draft Leveon Bell or Demarco Murray or whatever the top backs are. It's the one to get 3 WRs and a TE who get 10+ targets per game and a couple PPR backs like Woodhead or Sproles.
And I disagree with taking a QB early. Even top QBs have clunker games and the difference between the 1st and 12th QB is never big enough to justify sacrificing real depth at more injury prone positions.
So is mine, I didn't take a WR til the 4th round. I'm the only undefeated team in the league right now of 12 teams. Brady has basically single handedly won me week 2 and 3 also, having a strong QB is extremely important, plus i'm not faced with who to start against who except for the one bye week. I've also been in this league for 14 seasons. ---
