I didn't plan on going RB-RB . . . . I went into the 2nd round fully intending to draft the best available WR, but the 3 picks right before my pick were: Brandon Marshall, Antonio Brown, and Jordy Nelson. I REALLY wanted to grab Antonio Brown, who is a monster in PPR, so I was pretty much in despair when he got snagged. At that point the best available WRs left were Randall Cobb (who was #23 overall on my rankings) and Alshon Jeffrey (I had him #25).
The best available guy was Ellington, who I had rated as #18. It was only my 2nd pick of the draft, so I felt that I had to take the best available player, and make up for my WR problems later, since WR is pretty deep this year. In hindsight, I think taking Cobb might have worked out, since Doug Martin was still available in the 3rd round when it was my turn to pick . . . I couldn't possibly justify 3 RBs in a row (and the best available WRs at that point were Victor Cruz, Vincent Jackson, Andre Johnson, and Pierre Garcon, none of whom are really that exciting to me), so I went Julius Thomas, who I think will give me a strong advantage at TE almost every week.
Fortunately, I was still able to get my #35 ranked player (Roddy White) in the 4th round at pick #46 as my first WR. I really hope he has a big year.
