So why would anyone rather have Deangelo over Deshaun?
It took Fox 2-3 years to let Foster take over for Steven Davis. What makes people think that he'll just pass the torch to DW in his rookie year?Noahs Troopers

There is no reasoning, some people just hate Foster, likely have been burned by him.So why would anyone rather have Deangelo over Deshaun?

1. Willimas is a better RB and that will show itself sooner rather than later.2. Foster has been injured every year of his football life. Highschool, college and NFL.So why would anyone rather have Deangelo over Deshaun?

I like the combo I can get both of the best, and I think the Indy combo seems more doable than the Carolina one.
I was able to get Rhodes and Addai in one draft. Seen Foster owners sniped in every one with Williams going very high.

I went against the grain it seems with all three picks.
Reasoning:
1. Indy - The Colts sytem produces better numbers for RB's, bottom line. The best QB in the league, paired with two elite receivers leaves plenty of running room for whichever Joe Schmoe is running the ball
2. Addai - First round pick, better blocker, will be the starter come FF playoff time, IMO. Not a guy you draft in the hopes he starts in week 1 -4, but one has to believe there is a very high probability he takes over for a below average RB that wouldn't start for any other team in the NFL. If Addai is also a below average RB, then, well, the Colts front office made a huge mistake.
3. Williams, lets just call it a hunch that Foster will be on the PUP list come week 5.

In some cases I like your points. You must have missed the latest memo: Addai Sucks.

Possibly, and one has to consider that Rhodes is in a contract year, so he may be taking some special "vitamins" right now. Nevertheless, I do know that Rhodes isn't a guy any GM wants to be his starting running back, but with the Colts other offensive weapons, he may not care.

I have Addai and Foster on my team ...other guy has Rhodes and D.Williams.
Should I try to get D.Williams for Addai ... I spent a much higher pick on Addai but maybe I should bite the bullet to ensure the Carolina running game. Or do I take the chance already having the Carolina Starter that Addai will be starting within a couple of weeks?

If i was him i would not do it , Williams will be a very good RB ( Addai and Rhodes are worthless and i have them both so disappointed )

Yep.

Addai = Strong back, can break some tackles, not the most agile guy, but has a good eye for recognizing the hole, solid blocker, 1st round pick.Arrington = the exact opposite, excpet for the draft pick partNow, both RB's could be consider reaches, in regards to where their NFL team took them in the draft, but the similarities end there.Here is my thought, when you look at the qualities that Addai brings to the table, he appears to be an exact replica of post-injury Edge James. Not as talented, but he has qualities that will allow him to play in the NFL for a while.AffirmativeNoahs Troopers said:

I should say, that I consider post-injury Edge to be an average NFL RB, who put up ridiculous fantasy number mostly due to the offensive weapons that surrounded him and the resulting defensive philosophies used by defensive cordinators. When I watch the tape on Addai, I see a guy who runs in a style that is similar to the style Edge uses. Does Addai have the talent to put up the numbers that Edge did? Who knows? But I do know that comparing Addai to J.J. Arrington is far more off-base than comparing him to a 30 year old Edgerrin James. The running styles are not even remotely similar.Nevertheless, I'm done with playing prophet, I need the season to start before my head explodes.

Perhaps Addai will be better than a 30 year old Edgerrin James. However, Edge just turned 28 last month.I have never liked anything I have seen of Addai, which is not much. He and Edge don't even compare.look at the qualities that Addai brings to the table, he appears to be an exact replica of post-injury Edge James.AffirmativeNoahs Troopers said:

Funny you should ask .... I hadda take over a draft last week with a time clock violation @ pick 1.08 .. the auto-pick was Peyton ... 3pt passing TD, so I was into it from the get go ... my RB's ended up Foster 3.8; TJones 4.5; Rhodes 5.8; Williams 6.5; KFaulk 16.5 ... PPR ... so to answer your poll
Carolina
Rhodes

Totally agree here. Rhodes/ Addai can be had in Rds 5&8 Foster/ D Will in Rds 4/ 6 in most of my drafts thus far.To add, Dillon/ Maroney was even worse for vultering Dillon 4/ Maroney 5/6

For draft value purposes, I like:Chicago(Benson is going 7th rd or later)IndyPanthersPats(Dillon Rd 3/ Maroney Rd. 5)Denver(M. Bell Rd 3/ T. Bell Rd 4 or 5)
