Hey everyone!

Your thoughts on my taking Arian Foster as the 1st pick overall in my FF draft?

The only thing that scares me about Foster this year is that he lost his fullback so I am not familiar with who his lead blocker is now. I love Foster though and he is a top 3 back in my opinion.

Hey Stroke I am torn on Charles because Jones ate up quite a few carries last season. I am interested in your thoughts on having him at #2.

KC has talked openly about reducing Jones' touches and increasing Charles' workload. I like him quite a bit this season.

Foster lost his FB plus he already has hammy issues. Top 5 pick, not #1

Considering the numbers Foster put up last year, it's certainly difficult to pass him up.  Athlon Sports has him #1, but I'm finding most other publications and people disagree.   Adrian Peterson seems to be garnering the most favor, though I've heard his offensive line needs considerable work.  I do like the fact he only fumbled once last year.  How will McNabb affect Peterson's output?

Based on what I've heard about Fantasy, I understand RB is the key position of the game, but I would take Michael Vick over any of those guys.  He can make things happen with his arm and legs.  What's your take on that?

If I did a top-10 list, you'd see Vick's name (#9), but I see a big enough gap between the top tier RBs and the next level down (and conversely, too small a gap between Vick-Rodgers and the QBs at the late 2nd/early 3rd (Brady, Brees, Rivers) that I just can't see taking a QB in the top-5. I don't even have Vick as my #1 QB...I have Aaron Rodgers a slot ahead of him at #8.

PS...how's the boat, professor?

Docked in Panama City for the fall as I prepare to begin a new term.  Enjoyed my time out on the water with the love of my life.  Thanks for asking.

AP is a good pick for #1.  He's the safest I think.

I think there are 4-5 (or more) QB's I'd rather have than Vick.  Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees...  At minimum.  Let alone Vick over the top tier RB's.  No thank you, you can have him.
