cclevine1025 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I have the 3rd overall pick in our draft coming up. It's a keeper league with the usual performance scoring: 1/10 rush & receive; 1/20 passing; 1 per reception. We keep 2 players from the previous year's roster and the players I kept are LJ and Gates. Arguably I have the best RB in football and the best TE on my team already, so out of this list who should I pick at #3, assuming Tomlinson & Alexander go 1 & 2? Tiki Barber Clinton Portis Ronnie Brown Rudi Johnson Edge, Steven Jackson, and Cadillac Williams are already on other teams rosters and aren't in the draft this year. I'm leaning towards Ronnie Brown mainly because of Portis' shoulder injury and not knowing for sure that he will not aggravate it again once the season starts and I'm just not sure that the Giants are going to be that dedicated to running the ball now that Eli is coming into his 2nd full season as a starter. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'd go Brown because of the keeper possibilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyLush23 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I would actually go with Tiki... Especially in a PPR league... You already have keepers after this year with LJ and Gates... Ronnie Brown has a lot of possibilities, but his season depends on Culpepper's health.... I would go with Tiki, its a safer pick and you know what you are getting with him.... Look at his stats last year then you will know you want him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclevine1025 Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Point well taken concerning Tiki. The only other issue I had with him is his age, but it is hard to overlook his performance on the field the past couple of seasons. Any other input?
