Anyone I should add as a late round target?

Scoring matters a LOT when making a post like this. For example, where I'd place Cam Newton on the list is almost purely based off of how many points are scored for rushing vs passing TDs.

With that said, RG3 in tier 3? Behind Peyton and Brady and lumped in with Kaepernick and Wilson? Can't say I agree, but it's your list. Ryan Mathews is too low, Brandon Marshall too high, Crabtree too high, Larry Fitz much too high, Nicks too low, Andre too high, Amendola WAY too low, etc, etc. But again, these are my opinions and it's your list.

Here's the best piece of advice I can give: Pick a direction to go with your team and stick with the plan. If you are planning on winning now, then obviously assemble the best team you can to win right NOW. If you're planning for the future, then make sure you aren't drafting ANY "win now" assets just because they dropped and were a perceived good value in the draft.

If Julio is in tier 1, Dez should be too.
