Assuming

MJD

APD

Forte

Turner

S Jackson

DeAngelo

are gone for sure, thus leaving cats like LT, Slaton, Westy, CJohnson, Larry Lar, Gore, Portis...one more of these likey gone, who would you target and why...my answer(albeit early) below.

Do you take the #1 WR 8th? Get a MB3 or maybe B Jacobs coming back up?

PPR

3 year keep cycle, starting year 1

5 pts/rushing TD for RBs, 7 for rec TDs

5 pts/rec TD for WRs, 7 for rushing

If I had to draft today, and Slaton is there, I take him. 1) He's young 2) on a team getting better 3) catches the ball(PPR) 4) is still playing a weaker schedule(3rd place in AFC South last year).

Chris Johnson, I guess would be my 2nd choice, age is a big factor with LT, Westy, Portis.

My track record of my first round picks is horrible, awful! I would actually trade out of rd 1 if I got another 2nd and something a little later, like a 4 for a 10. I actually used the NFL trade point chart

I'm glad I have 2 weeks to prepare/decide.

Deangelo was available at 8 in EVERY 12 team mock I've done. I kind of like taking LT at 8 and then grabbing a Wayne, Jennings or Colston on the turn. You can probably grab a pretty good WR at your 3rd pick too because there's some decent mid-round depth at RB this year.
