Are you for real? It's so hard to tell (from just a magazine)

Like lots of fantasy football fans, I buy a handful of magazines and read many Web sites every year. Each magazine and site has its quirks, but all of them have a surprising number of things in common.

One of many examples: Every single fantasy football source, informed or not, will tell you (in their best Charlton Heston voice)

THOU SHALT NOT PICK A KICKER BEFORE THE LAST ROUND!

They say it as if you're violating the First Commandment if you pick a kicker early.

However, in every single mock draft I see, even those stacked with "experts," there is at least one person who drafts a kicker before the last round. In this particular one, only one person did this, but in others you get as many as half the drafters doing it.

If you can't convince your own colleagues how to draft, how do you expect to convince the rest of us?
