1st pick who you take?

I wanna say Shady McCoy.

Him or Jamal Charles
so not Peterson.  I am leaning towards AP.  Seems to get most of the love from the experts.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Apparently they are going to throw AP the ball a lot more with a new offensive coordinator. I think a lot of reporters have a strong bias towards what they see last year rather than projecting what will happen based on the scheme and life of a players career.

AP didn't kill it last year, but he has been the best back in the league for a long time and I think it will continue to be that way.

I am again really torn on Justin Hunter V Montee Ball.

I can either take Ball with the 29th pick (his ADP is currently 11.7)

I can take Justin Hunter with the 157th pick (his ADP is currently 100 or so)

Gah!

I asked Brad Evans on Twitter, Ball at 29 or Hunter at 125. Answered within 30 seconds, Ball. I should really learn to integrate twitter into my daily.

Also Brad Evans (@yahoonoise) is AWESOME.

Just finished my first fantasy football draft. A team picked Seattle's defense with the 4th overall pick and completely threw me off. Is that suppose to happen?

Well, if the plan was to throw you off, it totally worked. Did you recover?

Had my first of 4 pay drafts. Had 10th pick in 12 team league.  I was torn between Arian Foster and Calvin Johnson. I went with Foster and then still got Johnson in round 2. I was totally stoked.

Should've high-fived yourself. At 10, I wonder who the other marque running backs were. Question: Did you give much consideration to Montee?

First draft of the year in a few days. Pumped up..

Can't wait for somebody to reach for a QB in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

Nope. Same guy took Bishop Sankey in the 2nd.

If the quarterback is named Manning, Brees, or Rogers, it's like cornbread.

(unless that Manning is Eli. Then there is most certainly something wrong with that.)
