Everybody has their own strategy when it comes to fantasy football drafts, but a common one these days is drafting Antonio Brown with your first round pick. In order to do so, you will most likely have to have a Top 5 pick.
That means no Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, Le'Veon Bell, Eddie Lacy or Marshawn Lynch.
That also means you will most likely miss out on LeSean McCoy and DeMarco Murray in the 2nd round as well, leaving you with the Latavius Murray, Jeremy Hill and the Frank Gore's of the NFL.
You can win with them as your RB1 but it is so much easier to "replace" Antonio Brown as your WR1 with Julio Jones, A.J. Green or Alshon Jeffery than it is to "replace" Jamaal Charles with Alfred Morris.

We did five mock drafts, picking from each of the first 5 spots and came up with the following rosters. Which team would you be comfortable walking away from your drafts with?
Your WR3 can be filled by so many veterans that rushing to fill up on WRs is just unnecessary. In almost every draft, Torrey Smith, Anquan Boldin, Brandon LaFell, Larry Fitzgerald, Marques Colston, Mike Wallace, Rueben Randle, Kendall Wright and MANY more reliable receivers are still available. That can NOT be said about the RB position. Draft your RBs early and often!
