endersma Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I am tearing my hair out right now. I have the first pick in my draft. I know that the second pick is going to take aaron rodgers if I don't. If I do he is most likely going to take Drew Brees. I know that Adrian Peterson is ranked #1 overall on this site, but it seems hard to pass up on a guy that is going to throw for more than 4500 and probably 40 tds vs a guy that at most is going to get 1800 and 20. Am I going crazy? passing yards 1 pt for 25 yds rushing yards 1 pt for 10 yds receiving yards 1 pt for 10 yds td 1 to 21 yds 6 pts 22 to 49 9 pts 49+ 12 pts thats about it for the point structure. What do you think? Rodgers, Peterson, or Johnson? Thanks for any help you can give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endersma Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Any reason why I should draft Chris Johnson over Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endersma Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Chris Johnson had 353 carries last year. That is a lot. Look what happened to Michael Turner when he had 370. Johnson only had 17 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't overthink this. Turner was 3 yrs older when he had those 370 carries. CJ's only 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brg88tx Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 you gotta take chris johnson. i too had the first pick. initially, i wanted brees, p manning, or a rodgers as my qb but it's dumb to pass on chris johnson. i ended up with schaub and mendenhall with my 2nd and 3rd picks. 10 team league.

Big Country Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 What has the scoring been by position over the years? What are the spreads? Lineup reqs? Without any of this info to apply some logic to this particular question (and since I don't have time to run your scoring myself right now), no one can provide you with any decent advice other than applying standard logic to the situation. In most scenarios, it doesn't make sense to take a QB early as the scoring gap between them is generally relatively small compared to other positions. There are some situations however, mainly when it is possible to start 2 QBs, but also some unique scoring setups, where the gap is greater between the QBs or the scoring is so imbalanced that QBs score far and away more than other positions that taking a QB early can be correct.
