Round 5-6:

If you don’t want to go relatively early for one of the big quarterbacks, that’s fine because you can win without one of the elite quarterbacks as long as your running backs and receivers are good choices. You want to fill at least one of the quarterback or tight end role in one of these rounds regardless.

Unless you’re looking to go 1-2-2-1 (1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs and 1 TE) in you first six rounds, which is not a bad idea as long as all six of them are picks you love, go with a third wideout as well.

By the end of these six rounds, unless you’ve chosen a QB, you should have filled all your offensive starting lineup outside your field general. If you have chosen a QB, your running back starters should be locked in and either two wideouts and a tight end or three wideouts selected.
