3. SA
4. Portis
5. Jackson
6. Jordan
7. Caddy
8. Edge

10. R. Brown (could move up if Ricky is suspended soon)
11. MacGhee
12. Chad Johnson
Anybody drafting Reggie Bush in the first round of an initial dynasty draft is doing the the rest of his a league a favor. Mid-late second maybe. Still a big gamble. I would say he should be a 3rd rounder, but you are likely right.
Somebody will grab him late 1st.

I doubt Rudi Johnson deserves top 12 in a league that rewards 1 PPR, but I hope that does happen. I have 1.12 and 2.019. Rudi Johnson

. As far as Bush is concerned, I think it's the shark move to select him in the first round. Next year during this time, he may very well shoot up to the top 3 in redraft leagues

BUT BY ALL MEANS, DRAFT HIM EARLY! Trade up to 1.01 get him! Or even 1.02 (I can make that happen!)

Yeah, I'll hurry up and do that. Check your PM at the league site. Edited to say, that come this time next year, everyone will want Reggie Bush over most starting RBs in the league, especially in a PPR league.More like a guppy that has swallowed way too many reggie hype worms.

Considering the OP was "I imagine most would go something like this" your relentless dismissal of that being a possibility is a large oversight. I happen to think LaMont Jordan is due for a major drop-off this year, but that doesn't mean if I had to put up a list of how I imagined most 1st rounds would look I would exclude him from that list.And the entire arguement that he can't be a 1st round pick just because he's a rookie is weak, as is the "he hasn't taken a snap in an NFL game" one that I see around. Everyone outside the top 3 (and hell, even the guys in the top 3) have legitimate question marks, many of which I see as larger obstacles than being a rookie.More like a guppy that has swallowed way too many reggie hype worms.

I imagine most people offering Edge or Mcgahee for the 1.01 rookie pick right now would be laughed at, so why is drafting that 1.01 rookie ahead of them any different?

Right. Again, by all means, draft Reggie as early as you can. Before Portis, before Caddy, before Jackson.While you're chokin' on the kool-aid, might as well put him above LT2, LJ, & SA.Considering the OP was "I imagine most would go something like this" your relentless dismissal of that being a possibility is a large oversight.

Rookies are just that. Rookies. NO NFL EXPERIENCE. No matter how much you want to glorify their skill sets, their fantastic college careers, THEY HAVE NOT CUT IT WITH THE PROS. It's just that simple.
That is the largest obstacle of all.

I think it's Tiki's age that factors him down for a STARTUP dynasty draft.Re-draft, he most definitely is first round!

No way Bush doesn't go in the top half of the first round in a startup dynasty league with PPR scoring IMO.

Jordan will turn 28 in Novemeber. I cannot imagine spending a first round dynasty pick on him. If you are thinking that level of tunning back, I would definitely go elite young wr instead.

I'd take Bush over McGahee in a PPR in a heartbeat. There's less downside to Bush than most of the RB's in the 10-15 range anyway. It would be foolish to take Rudi over Bush in a PPR, though it would be just a foolish to take him in the top 6.I doubt Rudi Johnson deserves top 12 in a league that rewards 1 PPR, but I hope that does happen.

I would obviously take those guys before Bush, but how much have Caddy and Jackson really proven? Any of the high picks after Portis are a risk as well and Bush catches better than all of them.Can you point out to me where exactly I said I would take Reggie before Portis, Caddy, or Jackson?Right.

If I was at the turn, I would be sorely tempted to go Fitz and either Chad Johnson or Antonio Gates, get another wr or a good QB in 3, and a rb and just be willing to suck next year. Then draft rb's in future rookie drafts until you have a good one. Bypassing superior talent like Gates or Fitz just to get a rb flavor of the month seems goofy to me.
if you end up with Bush.

What league, when does the draft start and is there a link?

I dunno. You might be risking missing out on the greatest NFL RB of all time. Maybe you oughta trade up... 1.02 is available for just such a reason. Pull a Ditka & offer me the world for the great one.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe take what's posted and find the "odd" ball player that's out of place and you'll find their target. Or not.

He is from "the other side of the ledger". Now, I know where you can get the 1.03 that you seek for price less than 1.02 ....I dunno.
