What round should i pick up a DEF?

Question

i have the first overall pick and im gonna pick up LT, which means im gonna have to wait awhile unitl i get to pick anyone else up..

- ill probably see whose out are with the 20th, pick up either a QB or a good WR but my question is:

Is it safe with the 20th + 21st draft choice to pick up 1 DEF?

thanks, first time fanasty football draft

( currently 1st in baseball :) )

Answer 1

Ok, i have been playing fantasy football for what seems to be an eternity, PICK YOU DEFENSE AND KICKER IN THE LAST ROUND!!!! the differece between a #1 defense and a #10-12 defense is between 20-30 fantasy points, that means and average of 1.5  to 3.5 points per game, i dont know about you but instead of drafting a defense in the the 5-8 round i would be drafting capable players worth producing a lot more points!!! it's a proven method!!! and plus you might end up having the defense you want in the end. I got seahawks in the 15th round, they are ranked top 5. good luck rook!!

Answer 2

Watch for trends but no way you should use one of your top 5 or 6 picks on any defense. Without 2 solid RB, 2 solid WR and a solid QB in the first 5 rounds you are pretty much screwed. Most drafts the run on defenses usually gets going around the 8th round but sometimes guys get uptight and go a little early. You have the last pick in the 6th and 1st pick in the 7th (assuming you are in a snake format) so I would be inclined to wait until then but if you cant take waiting that long you could use the start of round 5 to pick a D (I wouldnt, too many guys still available capable of badly outscoring a defense over the course of a season). If you pick a D to start the 5th round you better pray that other players will panic and start a defense run or you will be so badly overvalued at that pick making up points will be incredibly hard. Never overvalue and pick real early at any position (this means dont go drafting kickers in the 7th,8th round....some real good ones will be available in the last 2 rounds).

Answer 3

ok the 20th pick is way to early to think about a defence. what u should do if u want them so bad is draft LT then draft a good QB and WR the when it comes back around Pick the defence if you pick something to early it throws of your team and could cost you a season. you could accually wait another round if you want. i got the minnisota d in my 8 person league in the 8th round of my draft and i had last pick. you can wait up to the 7th round to get them. if you do that then you can get 2 running backs a qb 2 wrs and a te.

Answer 4

never play favorites...just because your a fan doesnt mean you should take them. look at 3 year averages and then make a decision.  

Answer 5

5th 6th or 7th round
