Number One FF Pick 2008 (1 Viewer)

[shadyridr]

some of you FF players have short memories

Must be. You're going to have to help me here.

How about C. Williams his rookie year? Not as good as AP but pretty damn good.Then look what happened.

Cadillac's rookie year was not even close to what AD is doing. Its not even close to what Marshawn is doing.

 

[shadyridr]

I would take Peterson, Tomlinson, Addai in that order. Remember Peterson is doing this with no threat of a passing game, no WRs, and no QB. You gotta think Minny addresses one of those spots in the offseason.

[BusterTBronco]

Can't believe you people aren't including Brady in this conversation. He is easily the most valuable player in FF right now.

 

[circelli17]

I know Peterson has been a man child this year, but don't discount his history of injuries throughout his College career. Even after his record setting day today I would personally still grab LT over him

 

[bulger2holt]

How about adding M.Barber to the discussion. I have S.Jax, but I may consider taking Barber as my keeper.

Dont be crazy. The Rams just got decimated by injuries. Sjax will be back, and the o-line will get addressed. Sjax is a monster. Just an unlucky year for the Rams.

 

[shredhead]

What if you have Tomlinson and ADP and the #1 overall pick in 2008? THEN WHO DO I PICK?

Pick a new league. One with more than seven other teams.

I have AD and LJ, should I quit my league too? I'll hang up and listen.

Ah Drats! I really didn't want to quit now either. Just when it was starting to get fun with AD and Addai. I'm not even in first place and you're making me quit. I call shenanigans!

 

[mad sweeney]

Next year will be nice since there'll actually be a controversy as to who the #1 pick is. LT has been the no question first pick for a while now.

This is absolutely incorrect. This year was the first that LT was the consensus #1 pick.

Year before it was LJ, SA, and LT. Went in a different order in all 3 of my leagues last year.

I should probably quit too. My quartet of AD, Bush, Brees, and Evans set a new league record. This was with S. Smith getting 4 or 5 points.

IIRC, the last unanimous #1 picks were Priest Holmes '04 and Marshall Faulk '02. LT was close in '03 and '05, but there was some debate each year (Ricky in '03, and SA/Priest in '05).Right now, my '08 first round would beetersonTomlinsonAddaiWestbrookand then some order of:BradyMossParkerLJSJaxManningGoreBush

Your league had its Super Bowl this week? I thought the poster was talking about a team that had LT and AP. Not AP and Bush, or LJ or any other talented-- but inferior-- running backs. Nobody was inferring any of you lot were so good you should quit. I think it's definitely possible to have LT and AP. Having AP and someone else is nice...but not on the same level as having LT and AP.

AD dynasty owner, please NO Madden cover

I had that same thought after today's game. They love to market the big stud. EA Sports approaching ADP, and offering the cover.If they do, I hope he says no.:fingerscrossedthereisnocursethereisnocurse,bostonredsoxbrokeallcurses,thereisnourse:

 

[spacevan]

Look I would really appreciate it if you guys would stop hyping ADP up, I'd like to draft him in the 6th round AGAIN next year!!!! The only way I would take LT first next year is if they get rid of that sorry excuse of a coach Norv Turner. I can't believe I'm hearing people say Tom Brady as the first pick. I wish you were in one of my leagues. I am yet to see a FF team win a championship by taking a QB in the first round let alone with the first pick. When Peyton had his record breaking year some guy drafted him 4th overall and he didn't even make the playoffs. Don't forget about VBD.

 

[kd1]

top 10 next year, in any order:

adp

lt

addai

brady

lj

sjax

turner

mjd (most underutilized, wasted talent i've ever seen...cant imagine they are too dumb to make him the featured back by next year)

westbrook

peyton

 

[pigskin pimp]

For all this love for ADP as #1 in '08, please remember that PPR leagues are different.

A Reggie Bush will trump a Rudi Johnson, SAlexander, and even a FWP in these leagues.

In a PPR League, ADP ranks 3rd behind LT and Addai. He may even rank below SJax in 2008. (Remember that guy, the #2 overall concensus?)

If I had to choose now in my PPR leagues, I'd go:

Top 15:

1. LT (been there, done that, still in his prime)

2. Addai (either monster rushing yards or monster receiving yards)

3. SJax (down year, OL in shammbles, he will bounce back, has question marks though)

4. ADP (may be the best pure RB, but still needs help in the receiving game)

5. Westbrook (the closest thing to marshall faulk in the game right now)

6. Bush (can break it on anyone, not a power back, but with time can be one of the best)

7. FWP (Pitt is always commited to the run 1st, the kid has shown he can get it done)

8. Gates* (you might get a dud from time to time, but he will win you more games you shouldn't have)

9. Barber (Jones is gone, Marion is not as flashy as a Maroney, but more effective, and can catch the rock)

10. Lynch (this is where it get's to be questionable, put him here because BUF is involving him in the pass)

11. KJones (the guy is a stud in PPR, a poor man's westbrook, with a year of health in him)

12. Portis (RB can dance, hope that he keeps showing up to press conferences in weird outfits)

13. MJD (new coach in JAX will realize that more touches equals more production)

14. LJ (should be ranked higher, but not a fan, and think he is a 4 or 5 year production, and on a backslide)

15. Maroney (Brady comes down to Earth, won't have the 3 deep, and Larry will be apart of the pass)

Peterson scored 50.50 points for me in my PPR league today. I know he isn't going to rush for 300 yards every week, but there's something to be said for a guy who has the potential to regularly hang monster games on the scoreboard. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it would be very tough for me to trade Adrian Peterson right now. He's the type of player who can win you a league.

In my PPR league., with pretty standard scoring, ADP has 192.2 points, Westy is ahead of him with 192.6 LT is 10points behind at 181.18.How again is LT better in PPR?

 

[by_the_sea_wannabe]

Can't believe you people aren't including Brady in this conversation. He is easily the most valuable player in FF right now.

I'll be drafting for next year, next year, and not this year. Brady will come back to earth just like Manning did after his huge year.

 

[zamboni]

I know Peterson has been a man child this year, but don't discount his history of injuries throughout his College career. Even after his record setting day today I would personally still grab LT over him

LT also had a bit of an injury label on him coming out of college. Injuries just happen sometimes, but should have little bearing on the future value.

 

[kerpow]

While Brady will certainly be seen as a first round pick, I don't think Manning will.

There's still a long to way to go for the RB's to shake out, mostly because of the TD count. ADP is ripping up the yards but with "just" 8 TD's he's only 2 ahead of a mediocre Jamal Lewis (I realise he had 4 yesterday but people will have fogotten that next year)

Predictions for 2008, guy. LT is having an off year for LT. Tomlinson is utilized much more in the passing game than Peterson.

And you don't think Peterson will be utilized more in the passing game next year? You really expect the Vikings to keep underutilizing him the way they have been? Yeah, they're going to keep Taylor around so Peterson can return kicks.

 

[Lash]

Brady in 6 point passing league

NE either ...

a) can't run

or

b) refuses to run

when they get to the goalline

 

[The Rook]

I think I would still go LT with first pick next year. He still seems like the closest thing to a sure thing. Even during tough times, he's finding a way to put up numbers (some times even passing for TDs).

With that being said, I'd be happy with pick three next year and not care which of the following fell to me (LT, AP, Addai)

 

[Christo]

What if you have Tomlinson and ADP and the #1 overall pick in 2008? THEN WHO DO I PICK?

Pick a new league. One with more than seven other teams.

I have AD and LJ, should I quit my league too? I'll hang up and listen.

Ah Drats! I really didn't want to quit now either. Just when it was starting to get fun with AD and Addai. I'm not even in first place and you're making me quit. I call shenanigans!

I should probably quit too. My quartet of AD, Bush, Brees, and Evans set a new league record. This was with S. Smith getting 4 or 5 points.

Nice list sans the Maroney pick, I just dont think BB is deicated to him, I wouldnt take him anywhere near the first round

 

[paulbertini]

you'd have to wait and see what kind of offseason moves the teams make and the strength of schedule of each sqaud. would you really take Peterson over Tomlinson if ADP played Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the fantasy playoffs while Tomlinson played Cincinnati and Cleveland????

 

[Bodysnatcher]

Tom Brady... he will lead your team to the Championship for the next few years. Everyone wants to grab a running back, and I think that people need to start changing the way they draft. Running backs are very unpredictable, prone to injury, and have up and down years just about every other year. Tom Brady with the same team around him simply won't have a down year.

 

[fsufan]

some of you FF players have short memories

With no explanation of why, this is weak.

LT is consistent and ADP will be in his 2nd year. There is no way I would gamble on a 2nd year player with the first pick when you have a proven RB like LT on the table. Not saying ADP will not be great, I think he will, but you know what you are getting with LT, he had done it year in year out. In a start up dynasty league, I would have to consider taking ADP with the first pick, just because he is younger.

But of course, QB's don't, right? Maybe we should ask some of them: Bulger, Brees, Young, Rivers, Leinart, Cutler, Smith, Losman, Delhomme, Warner--you guys don't see any chance of a QB injury or down year, do you?

Nice list sans the Maroney pick, I just dont think BB is deicated to him, I wouldnt take him anywhere near the first round

I really like my grouping up to the Lynch pick. Too many off season intangibles to hit a home run from there. FWIW, the Maroney over Brady selection is just. QBs are like a dime a dozen. I'm sure Brees went above Brady in a lot of drafts.Maroney is better than Barber. Mark it.But I have barber at 9 , because of of the systems.
