Just learned of my draft order in the fantasy league I'm in....
...I'm picking #4 in a 10 team league. The big three will already be gone. So, I've got to put on my thinking cap for #4.

1. Who are you projecting to be the big 3?
Manning, Alexander, _________?

I don't think the Edge is going to do very well in Arizona. And even Alexander might struggle with Hutchinson not blocking for him anymore.

2. Running Backs usually go early in fantasy drafts....
...the top three in most mock drafts - in no particular order - are Larry Johnson, Shaun Alexander, and LaDainian Tomlinson. After they're snagged, most people will try to pick up the next tier RB's, before they're gone. RB's weigh pretty heavily in fantasy leagues.

That's why drafting #4 is a little tricky. The Big 3 will be gone, but if someone picks Manning that early, they're not going to have much left at RB, by the time the next round swings back around.

3. Duh, how could I have spaced on LT?
I see what you mean about snagging an RB early. In the few years I did FF, I never got to draft high so I never had a "stud" RB. Just had to make do with a stable of average ones, and hope that I picked the one to have a career day.

Might want to consider Cadillac Williams or whoever Denver is starting.
