Team needs, team needs, team needs.Obviously you could make a case for Johnson in a PPR leagues, but AP will go #1 in almost all non-PPR leagues.
I really can't answer which one, other than to take your team needs into consideration. I think Johnson is the safer pick, but I wouldn't advocate passing on Peterson if you are in dire straits at RB. One thing that scares me about Peterson is his running style (upright, see Chris Brown and injury concerns). However, Eric Dickerson also ran that way, and he wasn't too shabby. I'm not saying Chris Brown has the talent of AP, he doesn't, but it does give us something to guage injury concerns. Plus AP has been injured a couple times in college already.
I think you're definitely right about that; I'm just not sure he's the best choice. Then again, I'm not sure he isn't either.
I'm not convinced AP will be great, but I am convinced Johnson will be. I know I'm in the minority on this, and I'm not saying I would take Johnson over Peterson either. I don't have the 1.01 or 1.02 in any league, so that won't be a decision that I have to make. I can tell you that in a couple of my leagues I'm thin at RB and would take Peterson first.
It is definitely dependant on team needs, and if you are stacked at RB, then by all means take CJ. But I guess the way I tried to look at this question is that if you are solid at both positions, which would you take. In that case I take AD, because of the lack of RBs.
IMO, when it come to drafting rookies it's exactly the opposite.
He's supposed to be squeaky clean. Works hard and has a warrior's mentality. No issues here.
Well, except for that Escalade he was driving around for a few months before the Bomar scandel surfaced.......EBF said:

I don't know about that, a lot of times these sure fire RBs don't pan out, and guys that fall into your lap are the guys that really succeed. I mean 5 of Bloom's Top 9 Dynasty RBs were not 1st Round Picks, and were had relatively cheap. Portis may have been more expensive for some people, but Gore, Parker, R. Johnson, and Westbrook were not originally acquired for Top $. Even last year, Norwood and MJD could be had pretty cheap. Superstar WRs that are consistant like Smith, Fitz, TO, Harrison, Holt, 85 are very similar. I say if it's not PPR it most likely has to be AD.
