These are the guys in the first few rounds I have questions about. I want to get peoples take so i can figure out if my issues are legitimate. Where you would you draft these guys (1 round = 10 teams)

Rank: Player - concern

2: Adrian Peterson - softmore slump

3: Stephen Jackson - Rams O-line sucked last year and injury problems

8: Frank Gore - last year only rushed 608 yards and 3td

12: Lary Johnson - very bad year last year

13: Ryan Grant - with Farve not there defense's will focus on him

24: Ronnie Brown - coming off major injury + Ricky Williams in the picture

30: Micheal Turner - unproven and on Atlanta

33: Darrell McFadden - rookieness

  1. Players that fit rankings.

    -Adrian Peterson is a beast. He is better and has high expectations. A 2000 yard, 15 td season is not far from his reach.

    -Stephen Jackson is considered 5th now I believe, but he came off of injury last season and put up really good numbers. He'll do fine even though Rams O-line suck.

    -Larry Johnson was injured last year, but considering where he is drafted and how much the  Chiefs run the ball, I would take my chances on him. He'll be running the ball on the goalines until they get in.

    -Ricky Williams is supposed to be looking good in camp, but there is no way he will beat Ronnie Brown out of the starting spot. Considering where Ronnie Brown is on the board and how well he played before the injury, he's a good pick.


  2. I would not worry about AP, Gore, Larry Johnson or Michael Turner as they are all very productive and the first 3 have recovered from their injuries. McFadden is an unproven rookie, but definitely worth drafting as he will be Oakland's main weapon.  I am shying away from S. Jackson, though,  since he is a holdout and threatening to not play, plus he does have a questionable o-line and is an injury risk.  Grant has serious competition in Brandon Jackson, plus he is injured and without Favre, and  Ronnie Brown is a big injury risk with his recovering ACL.
