Any debate on the Number 1 pick??

[Dan Lambskin]

The only reason i ask this question is because of the league i am in. The possiblity is that the league could turn into a keeper league. It that is so and it does should i possibly take Steven Jackson with the first pick instead of LT, or is LT the only way to go?? Or maybe i am over thinking this first pick thing all together???

The first pick in all drafts should be LT2 and the second pick in all drafts should be SJax. If not, I question the league

i disagree with the S-JAX part

i'd take LJ...i'm noy buying into all the Doom and Gloom about the holdout and the changes to the offense...i think it might have some effect but i still expect 1500 Rushing, 40/400 Recieving and 15 TD's out of LJ...they just dont have any other options

i expect Jacksons recieving totals to drop quite a bit and i dont see him outrushing LJ...something more like 1400 Rush, 50/450 Recieving and 12 TD's

i might be wrong but personally i think Jacksons being overhyped based on last December when he blew up

perhaps. but not in a keeper. he has significantly less hits and miles and years on him than lj. i like lj, but i think in a keeper, for sure, sjax is a better pick at #2.

i could not possibly agree more... you are right on about this... although you can't complain about having a guy with that upside and 24 years old... but yeah, his last half of the season got his way too much hype...

I guess I just don't see it then.

SJax - same QB, attending pre-season(training camp)

LJ - different QB, missing pre-season(training camp)

In 13 of the 16 games last year SJax had between 18-25 carries. This is taking out his 2 big weeks at the end of the season(the remaining carries were 7,31 and 33). His 13 games between 18-25 is an average of 21.5 carries a game, if he continues with say even a 4.1 ypc, that is 1410 yards, just rushing. 7 of the 16 games he had less than 4 recepitons. I see the same amount of production out of him. I have yet to be in a draft that SJax was not the 2nd pick, I'll be surprised to see it happen in any future drafts I'm in.

With the stats you are projecting, the difference is less than 2 points per game difference(standard scoring). I would take the guy with less overall team risk

i would love to see leonard take all goalline carries and sjax get 3 TDs... even though i have him, i couldn't help but laugh at that scenario

Wait... so you're saying that you're going to draft first and THEN decide if it's a keeper league or not? That's really not cool. You should tell the commish that he needs to announce whether it's going to be a keeper league or not, officially, before the draft. That affects too much to just go unknown until after the draft.

We wont acutally decide if it will be a keeper until just before the draft begins, that is the reason for the question just to get an idea of everyones thoughts on what to do, if it does turn into a keeper league or not!!!
