QB’s
Besides Luck & Rodgers, the rest of these guys are going later in drafts and cheaper in Auctions. I I like Wilson a lot this year with the arrival of Graham and Brees as well as Manning are going as cheap as ever. Romo and Rivers are usually the last of the bunch to go and are great options. You can even wait on Brady supplement him with a plethora of streamers and be good to go by Week 5.
The point is, I don’t think it’s necessarily worth going that extra inch for Rodgers and Luck, because there is so much value behind them, although these guys will certainly provide that extra bonus. Even Tier 4 is intriguing, although there are more question marks in that group. My strategy is to be patient at QB, get them for cheaper or in the later initial rounds and still wind up with a rock solid option.
