who do you draft first at each position this year?
sp far, i have 2 Saints at their respective positions:
QB; Drew Brees. maybe theres a little bias in there, but the guy has had 2 straight 5000 yard, 40+ TD seasons. i dont see much changing this year, even if our running game does improve. he had his record setting year the same year we had the #6 rushing offense, so i go with Brees here
RB; Adrian Peterson. i know he has his sights on 2500 yards, but lets be realistic here. if i could put my money on any RB getting to that number, i would pick AP every time, but i would say back to back 2000 yard seasons is a stretch. however, that being said, this guy is still by far (its not even close) the #1 RB in football today and probably the best we have seen in the last 15 years.
WR; Calvin Johnson. again, almost the same as above. another season like he had last year would be hard to replicate, but again, if anyone can do it, its Megatron. i dont see anyone coming within 300 yards of him this season. and as much as they throw the ball, i wouldnt put it past him to reach the 20 TD mark
TE; Jimmy Graham. i know the consensus across the league is that Gronk is the undisputed best TE in football. but Jimmy is a consensus number 2. plus, Jimmy is coming into the season healthy. Gronk is coming in with 4 forearm surgeries, plus a pretty major back surgery. for a man his size who plays the game as physically as he does, those kind of surgeries dont bode well for Gronk. so for those reasons, i have to go with Graham here
Defense; Pittsburgh. this is always tough for me, but i just love the way these guys are coached. every year we call them old, every year they prove everyone wrong. these guys just dominate in every factor of defense. the talent on this defense in unbelievable. not many teams have the talent at each position on D that these guys have, aswell as the Hall Of Fame coaches that make these guys as good as they are.
Kicker; whoever you want. kickers are kickers. they are the least consistent players in the league. Hartley went from Superbowl hero to scapegoat in a couple years. David Akers went from record setting kicker to unemployed in a season. these guys are just not reliable. its pout luck. so, just pick someone and hope it works out for you!
