In a 12 person league and I have the 5th pick. Any tips? I usually try to draft a team around most possible receptions/touches. This year I’m not sure how to go about it given my crappy spot

I think 1-3 and 9-12 are better. I think it’s hard to strategize in the middle as opposed to the ends. Usually the middle play the hand they’re dealt for the first few rounds

I like David Johnson or DHop at 5 and Nick Chubb or Juju in 2nd rd. RBs disappear quick and you can get good WRs in rounds 4/5 like Hilton and Woods

Why is 5 a crappy spot? I’m in a league where we can select slots and I’m considering choosing slot 5 (slots 1-4,6) are already taken. But still I’m thinking that could be a good slot over slots 7-12

If Zeke comes back early, 5 gets a bit of a boost since Zeke likely will go to the top 4 and cause someone to drop. Outside of that, the biggest thing is going to be preparing for different outcomes in the second since you're a bit reactionary to the other picks. Knowing your options from mock drafts and getting a feeling for how things turn out if you end up feeling forced into WR in round 2 or maybe drafting a later RB a bit early, etc..

I typically like to have a strong group of RBs, so my reason for liking the 5 spot is that I identified about 22 RBs that I’d be comfortable with having as my RB1/RB2..I felt the rest were probably better suited as flex. In the mock drafts I’ve done so far, sometimes 1-3 of these RBs make it back to the 10-12 draft slots in the third round, but more often than not, they’ve been taken by slots 7-8 in the third round. By drafting in the 5 slot, my thinking is that there are 3 opportunities to grab these top RBs, so you’re more flexible at each pick to take the best available RB/WR/TE while the 10-12 draft slots are kinda locked in since if they go RB/RB in the first two rounds, they could not be getting a great value if there are solid WRs still there, or if they go RB/WR or even WR/WR, they’ll likely be forced to grab their second RBs at a time where I feel the RBs are better suited as flex players

Pickup DeAndre Hopkins. He'll be available then 2 RBs then a TE preferably Kelce or Kittle and then DeShaun Watson to coordinate with Hopkins.

You're right. I should've said 1 RB or WR

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.
