Answer 3

Its a toss up. What Peterson lacks in receptions he will make up for in TD's.  They are both an injury concern.

*Peterson has a better O-line but will also split a few carries with Chester Taylor who is no slouch.  Petersen had some great games, but also had some very poor games.  The Vikings can't pass so opposing defenses wills tack the box.  

*Westbrook's offense revolves around him.  Because of this he is more consistent than AP.

You can't win a league with your first round pick but you can definitely lose it.  Petersen has more upside, but Westbrook will be more reliable on a weekly basis.  I'd say you should draft Westbrook because he is a safer pick.  You also will not be locked into drafting a handcuff (Chester Taylor) in the 7th or 8th round.
