Who Would You Take With the 2nd Pick in FFB?

[FB Coach13]

I may be in the minority here, but im thinking Tomlinson has a huge bounce back year, and he would be my choice.

I agree Coach, my top 5 would be:

Peterson
Westbrook
Turner
Forte
LT

I am thinking Vick would be a steal at 2

He's never played a full season before and had to come back and play another one. He's always had help, it gets tiring carrying the work load by yourself. Could slow him down a little more this year.

I always thought he was so good because he was always fresh and rested. Also don't like Turner because he gets virtually no receptions. He's a top 5 pick for me, but I just wouldn't take him at 1 or 2. JMO.

I agree with some of your points like receptions but not playing a full season is only an advantage to him. Remember Priest Holmes in his prime? He was phenomenal and he sat on Baltimore's bench for 2-3 years before getting his shot with the Chiefs. The injury that ended his career was neck related, not a normal RB over the hill breakdown. I just think if you look at the list provided in this poll you can find flaws in many of those guys who have to split carries and lose out on TDs and those with injury issues (Chris Johnson and Westbrook come to mind respectively). Jarious Norwood will also help take some of the pressure off by getting some touches every game as well.

Very good points Hokie.

Very good points Hokie.

But hey mavs I'd kill for any of these guys! I have the #8 pick in my league and it's a keeper league.

[BigWeiner]

MJD. Turner has a tough schedule and they're planning on reducing his carries. I like Forte though. Westbrook is way too risky

I'm at the 10th spot in a 12 team league and after looking at things it's not a bad spot. The top 10-12 RBs are all really good and there's not one spot where I can really pinpoint a drop-off, they all look pretty good.

I'd much rather be at the back end of the draft this year unless I can get #1.

Good point. MJD is basically their whole offense since their receivers always suck.

Good point. Another guy not on this list that I think will have a huge year is Steve Slaton. I think he barely scratched the surface last year on how good he can be. He should get a good amount of receptions too. I'd much rather have him than a guy like Chris Johnson.

[mavskidd02]

Chris Johnson isn't even a top 20 pick IMO.

[BigWeiner]

I think Chris Johnson will be good. L. White blows, why they gave him so many touches last year I'll never know, but they have to realize that Johnson is a gamebreaker.

[BigWeiner]

LT could be really good again this year, in a terrible division, but he's also getting up there in Football age, and is an injury risk. The Chargers say they're gonna get him 300 carries. That's 2 games against the Raiders, Chiefs and Broncos. That should be a 1000 yards right there.

Westbrook is listed at #21 on ESPN and #5 at Yahoo. Which is it? I lean towards #21 myself. I'm really hesitant about Westbrook this year for some reason. Probably age & injuries i guess!

[jhedrick]

I am surprised there is so little love for Stephen Jackson... I expect a bounce back year but obviously seem to be in the minority here...
