LT first pick in the FFB draft?????

Question

Can anyone give me a good reason not to take LT with the number one pick in my up comming draft, and if so who would you pick and why?

Answer 1

The only good reason that I could think of not to take LT #1 would be if you're in a league with non-standard scoring rules that emphasizes QBs or WRs. I had him #1 on the draft lists for all my leagues again this year. There isn't any real reason to think he won't merit the pick again this year in most leagues - he's on one of the top teams, he's still in the good age range. On top of that, he plays the KC, Denver, and Oakland D's twice each. Last year they were #28, 30 and 31 against the run and gave up 49 TDs on the ground. I don't see any reason to expect a huge improvement this year. The Jets, Dolphins, Bills, and Falcons were all also in the bottom 8 run defenses last year.

Answer 2

There isn't a good reason. LT has been consistent over his career production-wise. Take LT with the first pick.

Answer 3

The only real reason that I can come up with is if you're in a PPR league.  If so, Westbrook is a viable alternative.  Otherwise, stick with Mr. Consistency.
