I understand taking two RBs in the first two rounds, but why take a WR over a QB? Seems QBs would get big points considering they get 6 pts per TD. Most people on here suggest taking a QB in rds 5-7 which seems very late! Is 6 pts per TD the scoring assumption most make when giving advice? Is that what is assumed on this site when posting the mock drafts, etc?
It's all about value. Sure Palmer and Manning are solid QBs, but a guy like Bulger in the 5th round is going to give you very similiar numbers, two or three rounds later than Manning will go off the board. And guys like Kitna, Leinart, etc. are solid values three or four rounds later.
The dropoff at QB isn't as large as it is with RB and WR. That's why you can wait longer.

Exactly. If you wait on a QB, you are still going to get someone that will put up good numbers w/ 6 pts a TD. If you wait on a RB or WR, the dropoff of production is drastic in the later rounds

NEWBIE you are a dummy
Why are you on the Beginner's Forum if you can't add a valuable response to beginner type questions? Surely you're not learning anything here since you already know it all. Gotta love message board tough guys. Now hurry off to Kmart Marlo and get your crayons and notebook paper. School is right around the corner. Hopefully you'll be able to stay up late enough during prime time games to watch your fantasy players.

That's rude and uncalled for, especially in the Beginner's Forum - please don't post in here again if that's your idea of assistance!
Fantasy Football: "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity"
As the others said, when it is all said and done there will only be about 2-3 points per game difference between the #4 QB and the #16 QB. There is virtually no difference between the #10 QB and the #15 QB. If you league has 12 teams and you start 1 QB, then the least valuable starting QB in your league would be around QB #12 and the difference between #1 and #12 will only be 4-5 points per game, unless Manning has another record setting kind of year.
Say you start 2 RB's on each team so the least valuable RB is around RB #24. The difference between the #1 RB and #24 RB will be more like 10 points per game. The difference between the #3 RB and the #24 RB will be 4-5 points per game. After RB #24, the values drop fast. The difference between RB #24 and RB #36 will be another 3-4 points per game.
