I have started prepping for my drafts, and I think 4 is really the doghouse this year. The top 3 are set, LJ, LT, Alexander, in what ever order you want, but who is there at 4? Edge, Tiki, Portis, Rudi Johnson? These are the guys I have seen going there, and none of them are layups. 4-7 is a tough hole this year in my opinion. I dont know where I am drafting yet in my drafts, but I hope its not in there. Do you go WR? Peyton? I would personally lean towards Edge or Rudi, but both of those teams are probably going to be pass first Os. Tough call, curios what people think.
I would go with Peyton at #4. He is the top rated QB and if you thought he threw alot before, what do you think he will do with Addai and Rhodes in the backfield. I would probably then go Edge Portis Tiki I would also probably take Steve Smith before going with Rudi. Rudi is a second rounder on my board.
If I have the #4 pick I am going with Portis, but that is right before I smash a brick into my forehead. I agree with you 4-7 are the worst slots. After that you can get 2 RBs with as much value as the guys picked between 4 and 7. Then when it becomes time for the 4-7 slots to pick, most good RBs are gone so you are stuck with 1 good RB 1 good WR. I would def. consider Peyton except for some reason this RB pool seems extremely weak. As in there are only like 20 starters. It just seems like a ton of teams either have RBBC (Panthers, Patriots, Saints) or have really old and/or frail starters (Jets, Packers, Giants) or no one has emerged for your team (49ers). I think it is going to come down to whoever gets luckiest with the T.Jones/C.Benson, J.Addai/D.Rhodes, C.Dillon/L.Maroney, etc. matchups. You have potential studs in that group, but also potentially horrible picks. So as much as it sucks and while I agree Peyton is probably the best available at #4, I gotta go Portis (close second is Edgerrin James).
i got him in the fourth round last year :lol: and burress in the late 7th. i had two pretty nice steals
I thought about Steven Jackson as well, waiting for him to break out, sadly waited all last year. Rudi is not real flashy, but I think he puts up solid numbers. 1450+ in yards last two years. 12tds each year. I am not sold on him, I just think he belongs in the discussion with this group this year. I can see Peyton, I had him two years ago (the monster year and got him on the turn, I was drafting 12 & 13. I dont think a WR goes that high, although Steve Smith should have a huge year.
