Here is my draft from my most interesting league with a bunch of old friends where I drafted eleventh. It is a 14-teamer, PPR, super-flex (i.e., you can start 2 QBs) league. Return yards also count for the returners, but I didn't really work that angle this year.
What if I told you that I took Luck in the 3rd round, and Alex Smith in the 5th round... you would think that my team must suck, no doubt. BUT, due to the format (and other league legacy reasons) QB's fly off the board. So, Luck was the 19th QB drafted and Smith the 26th QB. I tried to focus on other positions first, and was pretty ecstatic when Luck was there for me in the 3rd.
Also, 8 teams make the playoffs, so I think the league is mostly about building for a playoff run.. Luck should hopefully be playing as a top-five QB again by then.
Below is the team, with some of the rounds indicated:
QB: Luck (3rd round), Smith (5)
HB: Melvin Gordon (2), Todd Gurley (4), Abdullah (6), Kamara
WR: Jordy Nelson (1), Sammy Watkins (8), Sanders (9), Diggs (10), Taylor Gabriel
TE: Rudolph (7)
K: Hopkins
DEF: Buffalo
I dropped Kamara to pick up Jacoby Brisset, which makes me a bit thin at RB, but hopefully Luck starts soon and I can change that up then. Short bench hurts a bit.
