Accepting all comments - who would you take?

[Sperm Edwards]

I'm in another league & have the #3 pick. League is:

12 teams/18 rounds

9 starters: 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1K/1DST

Passing 1 pt/20 yds, 4 pts TD

Rush/Rec 1 pt/10 yds, 6 pts TD

If 1-2 go Tomlinson-Alexander, who would you take?

Priest Holmes: very injury prone (to the point where it's virtually a sure thing that he will get injured at some point), 32 yrs old, harder schedule this year (starting with us), LJ chomping at the bit for playing time & will likely vulture a lot of garbage-time yds/TD's, would likely require pissing away my 5th-rounder on LJ. That being said, it's tough to pass on a guy who had 15 TD's in 6 full games & two half-games.

Peyton Manning: I just don't like taking a QB this early. If he doesn't have a season close to last year's, it's poor value this early. (I could get a QB who gets 17-18 ppg in the 7th round) If I could get a "guaranteed" 4500 yds & 40+ TD's I guess I'd do it. Overall has a very favorable FF schedule.

Edgerrin James: An extra 6" here or there on a couple of goal-line carries last year & he gets 5 more TD's & my decision is easier. But 9 TD's isn't very much for the #3 pick, no matter what the yardage. Good overall schedule though.

or any others

Think you have top go Peyton. The dropoff between him and the other QBs you might get in rounds 2 or 3 is substantial, while the RB you figure get in the 2nd round (Tiki, Jordan, Dillon)isn't as dramatic a dropoff from Holmes/James .

Or you could hope that 1 and 2 wet the bed and go for Peyton, making your decision for you.

Manning

Except i think Manning will go 1 or 2.

So be ready to Nab Tomlinson or Alexander @3
