There has been a trend over the last few years of drafting the top 2 WR's in the 1st round. 5 years ago, this would have never happened. Because Andre Johnson is such a beast, it is hard to pass on him in the late 1st round.  I like Johnson to go within the 10-12 pick because whoever drafts him won't have to wait that long for their next pick. Owners will be skeptical this year because Johnson was injured last season but was able to return in week 13. When Johnson returned, Matt Schaub was out for the season.

I could see Fitzgerald going at the end of the 1st round or early 2nd round. He had one of his best seasons in 2011 in total yards, even with QB carousel. He has proven that he can carry the load and get open at the WR position. The addition of Michael Floyd will only boost his numbers. Some of Fitzgerald's most productive years were when he had Boldin on the other side. Fitzgerald lobbied for the team to add Floyd before the draft and the front office listened. Floyd gives the team a big weapon they've been missing opposite Fitzgerald since Anquan Boldin moved on to the Ravens.

So you have done all of your homework and you are ready to draft. You sit down at your computer and log on to your fantasy draft. You see that 11 of your fellow manager's are signed in and then you see the infamous message for the 12th "Set to Autopick". You get annoyed because auto-picking takes up the full 1 minute 30 seconds allotted for a draft pick. Pick after pick, it is suggested you take this player but instead you take that player. You hate the Steelers and the Patriots so you avoid any player on that team. At the conclusion of your draft, you feel really good. 

It's playoffs time and guess who made it? The Auto-draft guy/girl! To make matters worse, they win the league. I have been a member in a league of friends for 5 years. I have won the league twice and twice we have had a winner who auto-picked. This happens for a few reasons: we are bias, we have egos, and we havefavorites. Below are the results of my leagues last years winner who auto-picked:

1. (6) Chris Johnson (Ten - RB)
2. (19) Calvin Johnson (Det - WR)
3. (30) Matt Forte (Chi - RB)
4. (43)DeAngelo Williams (Car - RB)
5. (54) Mario Manningham (SF - WR)
6. (67) Vernon Davis(SF - TE)
7. (78) Matthew Stafford (Det - QB)
8.(91) Baltimore(Bal - DEF)
9.(102) Neil Rackers (Was - K)
10. (115) Fred Jackson (Buf - RB)
11. (126) Lance Moore (NO - WR)
12. (139) C.J. Spiller (Buf - RB)
13. (150) Matt Cassel (KC – QB)

I have made the decision to do a test this year. I am going to join a public league and auto-pick.
