Who is the "best value" RB this year? (1 Viewer)

[Thunderchicken]

I disagree, LT can be the best value.The other options at #1 overall were Shawn Alexander and Larry Johnson.If you sat at 1.01 and took LJ instead of LT then you need a later round "value" pick like Ahman to make up the difference.If you took SA at 1.01... you need 14 more "value" picks like Ahman b/c you're screwed.In my league LT alone is equal to these pairs of RB's this year:Larry Johnson (#2 in rb scoring ) and Shawn AlexanderSteven Jackson (#3 in rb) and Thomas Jones (#17)Frank Gore (#5) and Deuce McAllister (#12)Tiki Barber (#7) and Chester Taylor (#8)So basically LT has been = to two top 10 RB's.... thats value IMO.You can compare value based on where they are drafted but "True value" is the value as compared to the other players at their respective positions.And this year LT is KING

Basing the "best value" argument against average draft position would not allow for players taken early to even qualify. LT has surpassed all projections and when you are equivalent to two first round RB's, you are clearly the "best value". I would rather have a player worth SJax and Gore by himself than I would a player that is worth Wali Lundy and Leon Washington. LT will win championships for many teams this year, and that alone should earn this award.ETA: Player comparisons based on YTD scoring in my high performance league.
