Answer 1

Running back for this scoring, no question.  Take a RB both 1st and 2nd round. then QB 3rd.  My best advice is do that.

Answer 2

10 yards per point for rushing a receiving is fairly high.  

QBs only garner 4 points for a TD.

It's not a point-per-preception league, but your early targets will still be feature backs who catch passes.  LT, Westbrook, Addai and Jackson catch the most, and cede the fewest touches to a platoon back.

Given the weight for receivers and backs, I concur with the idea of waiting a few rounds for a QB.  Brady still has great value, but is not worth jumping too early for.  You could wait five or six rounds and still thrive with a healthy Matt Hasselbeck, Ben Roethlisberger or Jay Cutler.

Get good value with each pick.  Take what the draft gives you.

Footballguys.com has a free software program called the Draft Dominator which will let you enter your scoring system and will generate the most favorable picks.  Cheat Sheet War room has a similar service for free.

Both can save you time, and will help you measure value against Avergae Draft Position.

Answer 3

This scoring system appears to favor RBs.  Go w/ them first.  WRs second then QBs etc.

Answer 4

Your QB touchdowns are worth 4, which means QBs are slightly less valuable.  Brady is still a first-rounder, but I would stay away from anyone else until late second or third round.  Even then, only Romo and Manning.  Brees, Anderson, etc. will all have to wait until 4th or 5th round.

You didn't tell us a very important factor, which is how many of each position are started.  In a 2RB/3WR league, RBs are only slightly more important than WRs.  In a 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR ("flex") league, RBs are *much* more important than WRs.  Most people in the league will start 3RBs every week.
