Last week, I heard a suggestion on The Rotowire Fantasy Sports Hour With Chris Liss that one can draft a good team at #8 by selecting WRs with your fist two picks. Given I have the 8th overall selection in an upcoming draft, I wanted to test that suggestion.
At Mock Draft Central, I did a mock draft and here are the results. I don't think it works, do you agree?
