Drafting from: 1 | 23 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12

There are two musts for you if you're in the five spot on Draft Day: Make a top 5 overall list and a top 30 overall list.

The top-five list is a piece of cake -- it's three of the best running backs in Fantasy and your choice of Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham and Mike Evans. If it's me, it's Brown and Jones rounding out my fivesome, which is why when Jones was the last name available, I took him first.

Once you're out of Round 1, the top 30 list comes into play. You're guaranteed two picks from that list because you pick 20th and 29th overall in a 12-team league. The better news is that the caliber of players at running back and receiver are still nice at 20 and good enough at 29. It's a good spot to be in.

I went with a pair of running backs, Leonard Fournette and Isaiah Crowell. I think both get a lot of work this year, even if it's on subpar teams with minimal playoff expectations.

Specifically taking two running backs was part of my plan -- I know that position runs out the fastest during the draft, so getting two I was comfortable trusting in my lineup versus more receivers or someone like Rob Gronkowski seemed like the right way to go. Plus it almost doesn't matter who my second receiver is -- I've got Jones locked into my No. 1 spot and he makes my receiving corps top-notch by his lonesome.

What about after those first three rounds? I made an effort to focus on getting the best players available, which is why I took Andrew Luck over a second receiver (Golden Tate?) in Round 4. The move paid off when Julian Edelman and Martavis Bryant became mine in Rounds 5 and 6. They're exactly the kinds of wideouts I want if I'm going to only take one with my first four picks.

The rest of my draft was more or less about taking the best available players, including nice value on Tyler Eifert in Round 7. Dak Prescott is insurance for Luck in case he's not ready for Week 1. I love his 12th-round cost.

Here is my team at No. 5 overall:

1.5 Julio Jones

2.20 Leonard Fournette

3.29 Isaiah Crowell

4.44 Andrew Luck

5.53 Julian Edelman

6.68 Martavis Bryant

7.77 Tyler Eifert

8.92 Kenneth Dixon

9.101 Adrian Peterson

10.116 Mike Williams

11.125 DeAndre Washington

12.140 Dak Prescott

13.149 Panthers DST

14.164 Caleb Sturgis

If the weakness of the roster is at that second wide receiver spot, I'm fine with it. Last year's No. 2 receivers were about as productive as most No. 3 options and it's expected to remain that way. Since that's the case, there's nothing wrong with being weak at one receiver spot when you can find another option to start from week to week.

For me, that means choosing between Edelman and Bryant (or Williams if he turns out to be a stud right away for the Chargers). I think the rest of the roster is pretty good, including nice depth at running back. Aim for a squad like this when your time comes to build a team.

Favorite pick: Leonard Fournette

Take it from someone who's had to make a lot of tough choices in late Round 2 and early Round 3 this summer -- picking at 20th overall this year is awesome. There seem to be right around 20 or 22 superstars to build a team around, so getting one was clutch.

I expect Fournette to get a lot of work in Jacksonville, giving the Jaguars a running presence they haven't had since MJD's heyday. That's good news for Fantasy -- the heavy-duty running backs have always been among the most likely to post big stats. That's what everyone's hoping for from Fournette.

Pick I might regret: Isaiah Crowell

When I took Crowell in Round 3, the intention was to land a nice receiver in Round 4. Instead, only one running back went between my pick at 29th overall and the next one at 44th overall. I don't regret it yet, but if Crowell isn't improved from 2016 then I'll wish I had taken a wideout like Terrelle Pryor or Demaryius Thomas then and a different running back in Round 4 (Mark Ingram?).

This comes down to Luck's shoulder being ready in time for the season. He didn't practice at all during the offseason following shoulder surgery for a labrum issue.

Naturally, even the great players need time to practice and get into game shape. So Luck could be a liability if he's rushed into the season and begins getting knocked around within the first few weeks. It's why I drafted Dak Prescott late -- usually if you take a stud like Luck, you ride with him no matter what. This year, Luck's Fantasy owners need insurance.
