Summary

In this episode, Jeff breaks down every major QB draft strategy, from going early with Robust QB, to playing it cool with Late-Round QB, and everything in between. He tells you why the middle rounds are a danger zone, how to build with late round upside, and why waiver wire gold happens every year. He also dives into superflex and 2QB formats with sharp takes on Robust, Value, and Anchor QB builds. You’ll learn how to avoid landmines, build around upside, and gain an edge by drafting smarter than your league. If you want to dominate your draft without overspending at quarterback, this is the blueprint.
