Who do you draft with your first pick Adrian Peterson or tomlinson?

Question

This is a keeper league too......I keep two players for next year.

Answer 1

I would draft Tomlinson simply because his career has been injury free aside from the knee injury at the end of the 2007 season aslo is consistantly scores over 15 td's a seaon. Adrian Peterson on the other had has not played a full season since his senior year in high school and aside from 2 monster games last season week 6 @ chicago 224 yards 3 td's and week 9 against San Diego 296 yards 3 td's his season was average also might i remind you of his 3 yard performance against the awful 49ers.

Answer 2

Tomlinson.  He is a TD machine.  Peterson is good, but will not match LT's output.

Answer 3

Since you say that it is a keeper league, Adrian Peterson. He'll get better with experience. I feel that he's going to be better than LT in a few years.

Answer 4

Is Brian Westbrook a possibility??? He can run and recieve..

Answer 5

You've got to go with Tomlinson here.  While Peterson makes you hold your breath every time he touches the ball, Tomlinson is a more proven player.  Unfortunately both lost very key lead blocking full backs (Peterson lost Pro-Bowl FB Tony Richardson, now with the Jets; Tomlinson lost Pro-Bowl FB Lorenzo Neal).  However, no need to sound the alarms as both still run behind very good offensive lines.

Answer 6

Since this is a keeper league, I would take Peterson over LT. LT has two years left, at best, before he is done. He has even said he may call it a career around that time. Peterson will be productive for 5-8 more years if he stays healthy. Also, Don't forget, Tomlinson had knee surgery in the off season.

Answer 7

Peterson has way more upside in a keeper league than LT. Tomlinson is about to turn 30 and thats the age when running backs begin to take the down hill turn.

AP is going to be a great back for at least 10 years barring injury and LT will probably be lucky to get 2 or 3 more really good seasons.

Go with AP and his upside in your keeper league.

Answer 8

You cant go wrong with either but LT is more proven so I would go with him

Answer 9

1. LT

2. SJax.

3. Brady

4. Westbrook

5. R.Moss

Answer 10

Tough one.... I'd just wait for the last possible draft date and maybe there will be a new injury like tomlinson out for season or somethin so then you get peterson

Answer 11

Reasons to stay away:

LT:

Bad Knee

Top 2 players other than him had surgery this offseason

Taking on a bigger workload after surgery.

AP:

Injury Prone

Chester Taylor right Behind him

Huge upside in the passing ability of tavaris jackson.

Answer 12

I take Tomlinson because you know that he will produce, Peterson is only in his 2nd year and though he is a great back, there is a possibility that hes a 1 yr wonder.
