PPR League Draft Order of positions

[jdooders]

I know there isnt a set in stone way of choosing which positions to chose in what round, but from what I have seen I'm thinking the following order...the scoring system my league is below as well ( I have the last pick (12th))..Not sure what positions to truly value this year given the PPR style and scoring system...

Round 1 RB
Round 2 WR
Round 3 RB
Round 4 WR
Round 5 TE
Round 6 QB
Round 7 WR
Round 8 QB
Round 9 RB
Round 10 D
Round 11 TE
Round 12 WR
Round 13 K
Round 14 WR


Passing TD Pass +6 Every 20 passing yards +1
40+ yard TD pass bonus +8 50+ yard TD pass bonus +10
400+ yard passing game +3 2pt Passing Conversion +2
Interceptions Thrown -2

Rushing TD Rush +8 2pt Rushing Conversion +2
Every 10 rushing yards +1 40+ yard TD rush bonus +10
50+ yard TD rush bonus +12 100-199 yard rushing game +2

Receiving TD Reception +8 2pt Receiving Conversion +2
40+ yard TD rec bonus +10 50+ yard TD rec bonus +12
Every 10 receiving yards +1 Each reception +1
200+ yard receiving game +3

I think you are looking at things wrong. You shouldn't be looking to get positions in X rounds, you need to be able to move with the flow of the draft. For instance if the first round sees a bunch of RBs leave the board before 12, you can be relatively certain that most people will be picking up WRs in the next two rounds, so why would you pick a runningback instead of starting a WR run with two top 3 WRs. There are a number of other scenerios, but my point is that if you are trying to see in which rounds you'll pick which positions, I think you are going to find that you will be finishing some runs and/or passing on some serious value players.

I agree with Sylock. You have a plan, that is good, but don't force your plan if the talent is not there. I have been in your slot in alot of drafts, and have found WR/Wr in ppr leagues very doable. IN fact one league I went Wr/Wr/Qb/TE and got Randy Moss, Steve Smith, Peyton Manning and Witten. I then went for Thomas Jones at Rb along with some other PPR type rbs like Felix Jones.

My point is to do as Sylock points out...don't follow the trends....create your own. IF Rbs are dropping like hot rocks in round 1...take advantage of that by snagging two of the top 5 wrs. Then when folks panic and start grabbing Wrs...you can snag some great value at other positions like Qb or TE...and fill in from there. PPR can be a really freeing thing.....especially with all the teams going to multiple Rbs for 3rd down situations.
