This is a great thread with a lot of good posts on both sides of the argument.
Personally, I think Best is too risky to take in the 3rd round. You have RBBC risk, the risk that Detroit's OL will limit their RBs' upside, the injury risk, etc. I think in the first few rounds, you need to with less risky options.
That being said, you can't ignore the recent trend of many highly drafted RBs (especially smaller, speedy ones) struggling year 1 and then exploding in year 2 or 3. That to me makes Best an extremely intriguing option in the 4th or 5th round, especially in PPR.
So I guess I come down slightly on the anti-Best side at current ADP, but would still take him if he starts to fall in drafts.
