The First Round and my thoughts.......

1) Tomlinson- You have to go with LT with the first pick. He is proven, he is on good team, and they rest him during the preseason, so he doesn't get burnt out. He is due to be a burn out this year, but the same was said last year.

2) Adrian Peterson- I am glad I don't have the second pick this year. I can't think of anyone better than AP here. My worry, sophomore slump. Teams are onto him, and the passing attack in Minn, doesn't scare me.

3/4) Joseph Addai/Westbrook- This is a tough one. I like Addai with Manning at QB. If Manning isnt healthy, I would go with Westbrook. I am not in love with either, because they both get hurt all the time. Westbrook has never played everygame in a season, and last year he got a lot of yards on his legs. Both are on good teams, and a running back on a good team is a good thing.

5) Steven Jackson- Had a good ending to last year, and I might take him #3. Remember all of this is before the preseason, so things might change before I draft. I would like to see how the O-line does.

6) Frank Gore- With the 6th pick Gore is good. I am not about the Brady train, but if your league is heavy on QB's, I would have Brady as high as #4. In my league, I only get 4 pts for a TD and 2 points for every 50 yrds.

7) Tom Brady- I am sure he would be taken by now. I had him last year and won it with him. Very doubtful he will put up the same numbers as last year. I think the Pats run more this year anyways.

8) Peyton Manning- This could go down from here, depending on his health. If he is healthy, I would grab him here and grab a decent RB after.

9) Randy Moss- This one is a tough one, but if I follow the rules that have helped me win numerous fantasy football leagues, it is not to reach for Clinton Portis Or Barber here, and grab my stud.

10) Marion Barber- I like Barber better than Portis. He is healthy and will get the ball more than last year. He will probably split some carries and that is why he drops to 10, but with a good team, I would be very happy getting him here.

11) Clinton Portis/Marshawn Lynch- I think you can switch swap here with these two. I don't know enough about Lynch's legal issues, but with a pick this late, grab one and maybe TO on the way back to make you feel better.
