with the regular FF season winding down, i start to think about next year's draft (and possibly trading up or down for picks). however, it seems like the LT, LJ, priest, faulk, etc of year's past eludes us this year. in other words, there doesn't seem to be a consensus #1 overall pick for FF drafts next year....yet.
adrian peterson could be a good bet, but the viqueens have struggled and i don't have faith in childress or the QB
LT seems on the SA/down side of his career. maybe he bounces back, but will you risk it at #1?
LJ has had his problems and plays on a team that is rebounding, but will he still be a part of it?
boldin had/is having a monster year, but so did moss last year. and, who takes a WR at #1 anyway...too many to choose from (TO, AJ, Calvin Johnson, wayne)
jacobs but he's part of earth wind and fire RBBC
addai? perhaps, but he sure isn't perforning consistently like a #1 (nor are the colts). what about rhodes
westbrook? too inconsistent? injury prone? mcnabb v. kolb?
sjax is on a cr@ppy team with an aging, injured QB/oline...do you see it rebounding next year?
gore is on a mediocre team still trying to find its way with a QB and offensive scheme, not to mention a new HC
pmanning has come down to earth. brady was injured. romo too. palmer has fallen off the world. so, which QB? brees, but at #1?!?!?!?!!? i think not.
then you've got guys who show promise and might have the opportunity too, but not enough to warrant #1 overall: pierre thomas, ray rice/l mcclain, slaton, hightower, forte
i just don't see having the #1 overall pick as an opportunity to nab that consensus "stud." better to be in the top 5 or 7 and and grab value while having a higher 2nd round pick on the serpentine.
Who would say, as of right now, is the "consensus" number overall pick for FF drafts in 2009?
