I have pick 5 today...assuming Foster, rice, McCoy, and Rodgers are the first 4 off the board, who should I go with? Tom Brady, McFadden, Johnson?

id take calvin johnson, then best rb in round 2Comment -
Dree Brees then take Fred Jackson or Stephen Jackson in round 2Comment -
fred jackson
qb is deep, screw qbComment -
I wouldn't take a QB in the first. The point differential is much bigger between top WR/RBs compared to QB's at it is to late rounders.
IE. Get one of the top tier players, Foster, Rice, McCoy, Rodgers, Megatron, then come back with a solid RB as your second pick. You can get a good QB in the 5th or 6th.Comment -
Risky taking McFadden but I'd do it. The guy has a legit shot at being the best fantasy player if healthy and I'm not really sold on any RB left after Foster, McCoy, Rice, and McFadden.Comment -
Go with johnson come back with stafford in your next pickComment -
Calvin is a solid pick @ 5. Also, CJ - Chris johnson will have a big year. McFadden too injury prone for #5Comment -
People say qb is deep, but how many rbs will play all 16 games or finish the season. Take the guy who will be standing at the end of the season with your first pick.Comment -
Calvin might have the Madden curse
Superstition aside
Here's a rule you should commit to memory:Never ever take a wide receiver before the eighth pick
Done about 30 of these for money in the last 14 years I've done this and nobody, and I mean nobody has ever won a league taking a wide receiver in the first round
Calvin Johnson is the biggest trap this year.
Let somebody else screw their draft up and overpay for himComment -
Same with taking a QB in the top 10...Comment -
But this years RB's suck after the top 3 go...Comment -
I'd be careful with that
Depends on the scoring of the league, sometimes
You can win a lot of games with a really good quarterback
And a shit team
Wide Receivers help, but you don't see them wining you games by themselves, very much
but then again, it depends how the league scores themComment -
RB is a thin position...this should be the first place you pick.Comment -
Comment -
Their may be parody at the running back position, no argument here
But you can't draft scared,
if you're early running back goes to shit, well you're season is over.
You're wide receiver won't bail you out, that's for sure
I never heard"thank god I got Jerry Rice with the 5th pick"
or "thank god Terrel Owens was still there @ #5"
or Tory Holt
or Marvin Harrison
or Randy Moss
Those guys would have monster years, but they never left early 1st round.
Not if their owners wonComment -
Tom Brady would be my pickComment -
my league pays for WR, RB and QB of the year and week so its not bad to take someone that is going to get you money every couple weeks or at the end of the year.Comment -
Oakland will throw alot with Palmer this year and I don't like Mcfadden unless he falls far enough. Oakland Wide Receivers are worth a look towards the end of the draft. As far as QB I wouldn't reach unless they fall a couple spots. I owned Brees on a team last year and guy had a monster year however I ended up being very thin at RB not to mention I had wasted an early pick on Hillis and I ended up being bounced in the first round of playoffs. And gotta agree with the WR rule. I haven't taken Calvin Johnson in the first round in a single mock and I wouldn't do it unless I was drafting bottom 3 of the first round so I can grab a RB early 2nd round. As far as TE I haven't drafted a TE before 7th round in mocks yet. The position is as deep as ever. I personally draft 2 Tight Ends in case my first choice TE starts slow.Comment -
Brady or Brees
...and screw taking TE in 1st 2 rounds, not a chance Gronk and Graham will repeat their career years.
Take your top tier QB since there are only 2 more available, then get 2 RBs in next two roundsComment -
Very likely Graham repeats. Less likely Gronk repeats those numbers, but he can easily put up RB2 type numbers.
If I am picking 5th, I am going with either Brady/Brees or Calvin. You can get a tier 2 RB on the turn - and the only RB's available at 5 most likely are tier 2 RB's.
Hope Tom goes early, and a top 3 RB falls to 5 - that happens often.
Best place to pick this year is 4th.Comment -
Worse place to pick is one.Comment -
got pick 12 of 12 tonight
snake style
not bad at all some people reach, sure the long break in between sucks but, ive had success picking late in round 1.
hoping for a top 3 qb if all works outComment -
12 of 12 can be really awesome
#1, you're sizing up everybody in the first round and seeing who the phuckin idiots are
then, when it gets to you, all the 1st round value falls to you
i.e. their's another thread where a guy drafted a phuckin tight end in the 1st round at #10, well in that case, you just got yourself a running back or a quarterback that you really don't deserve.
Guys drafting early 1st, sometimes get really jealous of you because of all the first round value that falls to you because you probably will have at least two knuckleheads with some kind of phucked up strategy, and they end up gift-wrapping 2 players to you, that you shouldn't have
Rake in value at 3-4(#2 RB,#1QB, #1,#2 WR-whatever value is best at that time)
5-6,look to see if your early sleeper might be coming up, fill up on depth move on Study the guy who has #11, look at his roster and know what he needs, so you know who not to let him take when it comes to youComment -
yea this is going to be the year of the tight end after last year lots more offenses will be using themComment -
take Rodgers or Brees. i Took ARodgers number 1 in a draft tonight, Brees in the others.Comment -
