I agree, this year it seems likes QBs have been going earlier than years past. My strategy has been based on the league I'm drafting in(12man vs 10man, 4 point passer TD vs 6) and my draft position. In a 10 man with Yahoo! default, I can see QB's start going by the 2nd round. I personally like the idea of grabbing a QB early enough to snag a top 5 considering they are top "point-getters" season after season. If you are playing in a smart league, it’s plausible that the top 5 QBs could all be gone by the end of the 2nd round. Drafting a QB late would have to be determined by the quality of RB's you’ve taken in the first two picks and the quality of WR's available in your 3rd and 4th picks, and which QB may be available in the 5th and 6th rounds (typically those outside the top 10). I think waiting beyond the 4th round for a QB would be a mistake. In a 6 point passer TD league, I'd expect the top 10 QB's to be gone by the end of the 2nd round. QB's outside the top 10 have an EV that quickly drops, relative to expected point production. At the expense of a top running back, I'd prefer to see a more consistent QB in the early early rounds of the draft in this situation.So, to answer, I would say drafting first overall in a league with 4 point passer TD is too early, but not in a 6 point passer TD league.

I've historically been a wait-until-late guy, but it doesn't seem deep at all this year.
