What Is Your Favorite Draft Strategy?

I've had two fantasy football drafts, and the random draft order gave me the No. 1 overall in one, and No. 2 overall in another. Adrian Peterson went No. 1 in both, and I landed Arian Foster in the other. I made sure to select one RB, WR, and QB with my first three picks because I wanted to have at least one great player at each position. 

The problem with that strategy is that I was left taking whatever RB was still available in rounds 4-6 as my No. 2 back. In one draft, I'm happy to have found Ahmad Bradshaw available at the end of the 4th round. On my other team, I'm left crossing my fingers DeAngelo Williams isn't a bust in Carolina, and I've already swung and miss on my late round gamble because my 3rd RB (Cardinals RB Ryan Williams) is already lost for the season.

As a reminder to everyone who hasn't drafted yet, it's not a bad idea to think out your first several picks ahead of time. Everyone has a good feel for the first couple rounds, but I'm betting there's a lot of buyer's remorse for some of those mid-round selections in my leagues. A bunch of managers (me included) were using all of our allotted time. I've placed a lot of faith in the hope that WRs Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson weren't one year wonders in 2010.

Was it better to grab a player at each major position first, or should I have drafted a running back in the 2nd round?
