Have succombed to temptation and have joined my first NFL Fantasy League - an ESPN Custom League called "Cowboys all the Way" - so i reckon ill be popular in there!

Draft is at 23:00 UK time tonight - ill know my draft position in about half an hour.

My initial strategy is this :

R1 Pick 1-3 - Take either Arian Foster, Ray Rice or Shady McCoy - Rounds 2,3,4 Get the best QB/WR/TE
Rounds 5&6 - RB & WR
Rounds 7-13 - Pad out squad with RBs and WR - potential backup QB
Remainder - DST, backup TE, last round a Kicker

R1 Pick 4-8 - Take Stud QB
Rounds 2&3 - 2 x RBs
Rounds 4-6 - 1 x TE, 2 x WRs
Rounds 7 onwards - As Above

R1 Pick 9 or 10 - Take 2 x WRs with R1 and early R2 pick
R3 - QB
R4-6 - 2 x RB, 1 x TE
Rounds 7 onwards - As Above

i would sway towards Reggie Bush. Think he will get more playing time for the fins this season, and we all know what he can do on the ground. Not sure how solid the Oline will be in Miami though.
