If you don't grab two RB in the first two rounds, you'll have to pick someone who gets you no points. The difference between the top 15 RB and the rest of the RB is massive, and after the top 25, they pretty much don't get you any points. The top RBs might get you 2000 total yards and 15+ TDs. If you don't get two solid guys, you'll be forced to start a guy who might get you a few hundred yards and a handful of TDs.
The top WRs might give you 1500 yards and 12 TDs. If you miss out on the top guys, you can still easily grab a WR who will get you 800 yards and a handful of TDs even after the draft is completed.
Because of this (and another reason why you should pick RBs first) everyone else will be picking RBs before WR and QB so you can wait for them.
Especially this year when after Vick, McNabb, and Culpepper there are 10 QBs who could put up the same amount of points, you can wait REAL late to get a QB.
The only draft I did so far, I waited until the 8th round to draft a QB (in a 14 team league) and still got McNair and Ramsey, and waited for rounds 3 and 4 to get my WR and still got Burress and Toomer.
