LT is one of my favorite players, so I choose him. I like to feel good about my 1st pick, as I've been burned in the past- see Ahman Green and then J Lew last year. So LT it is
I'm in a redraft $$ league, and LJ is my pick if I draw the #1. He's young, doesn't have much wear and tear, and has a good offensive line. Herm Edwards has already said he wants to run, run, run to control the clock. It also helps that he runs angry. Of course I'd have no problem drafting 3rd and taking whoever falls.

I'd rather be #2 and take LJ or SA if they fall. I don't want LT this year.
I would be comfortable drafting at 3 and gambling that SA falls to me in most leagues. I feel like most of the "experts" out there don't think SA will do it again, so he is getting slotted into the #3 spot in the rankings.
I love LT this year, i think that rivers actually helps with his value. With Rivers starting the chargers will lean on him more than they did with Brees establishing himself as a very good QB in the past few years. I think Rivers will dump off many passes to him, and LT could have his best year ever.
Yeah, it's tough to say "no-brainer", because everyone I know and even most everyone here are all having to do ALOT of thinking about those first couple picks. I'll break down and give it up...after all my talking about LT as the greatest living RB, I went Shaun. His 15+ TDs a year are phenomenal, and his yardage seems to grow constantly. I will not say it will grow this year, and will probably drop by 2-300 yds, but I'll still take 1500 and 15 TDs easily as my top pick and sleep well every night knowing I did.
