WR-Fitz/Wayne/Colston vs Coles/Wayne/Colston
TE- same
K- same
DEF- same
This draft was done away from FFX mocks, to establish how people value the RB/WR position in July. Thought it was interesting to try and manipulate a draft by picking the #1 WR instead of the #1 RB, and see how it turned out. Basically, in theory, it was an exchange draft pre-trade Fitz for A.P.
