OK I listened, did I do better?

My 3rd draft after picking QB's R1 previously, 10 team normal non PPR scoring, picked 4th. Went RB RB rounds 1 and 2 as you guys recommended.

QB - Drew Brees, Sam Bradford
RB - Eddie Lacy, Shady McCoy, Melvin Gordon, Doug Martin, Todd Gurley
WR - Randall Cobb, Brandin Cooks, Sammy Watkins, Brandon Marshall, Devin Funchess
TE - Tyler Eifert (Ertz available on FA might swap for Funchess).
K - Matt Prater
DEF - Miami Dolphins (Panthers also available)

That looks like a good, balanced squad. Good job.

Personally I would avoid Ertz like the plague.

I was quite pleased with it but according to the projections I'm down to finish 8th out of 10.

Those projections are always way off.

Definitely keep Eifert, if Ertz is the next best available.

If you don't auto-draft, I would expect the system to give you a bad projection, since both the auto-draft and the projection system are likely based on the same set of player rankings. Basically, if you have a different set of rankings and take players based on that, the projection system will see you as passing over good players for inferior players. So if you trust your pre-draft rankings, you shouldn't fret when you get a low projection.

Case in point: I couldn't make my fantasy draft, so I auto-drafted and, big surprise, the projection system really liked my team. And then I proceeded to get totally destroyed in week 1. Granted, Dez Bryant and TY Hilton getting hurt right away didn't help matters.
