What's the best way to build your team from picks 1-6? First, let's talk about how our draft strategies are taking shape (2:15) as we continue to do more and more drafts. Within this discussion, we get into Trey McBride and Brock Bowers and why drafting one of them can be a tough decision (7:05) ... News and notes (17:15) on Kyren Williams, Caleb Williams, Terry McLaurin and more. Then, we look at Teams 1-3 (26:00) in our pick-by-pick series. We completed a 12-team, 3-WR, PPR mock draft and Teams 1-3 have a lot in common as they mostly waited on quarterback and tight end. How do we feel about this build? ... Teams 4 and 5 (48:30) took a similar approach to Teams 1-3 by mostly waiting on QB and TE, but there is an exception. Also, how do we feel about Team 5 being very reliant on rookies? Finally, Team 6 (1:00:25) drafted four different positions with its first four picks! How did that turn out? Was this the right format for this kind of build? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
