If it was an actual full draft like this I probably wouldn't take these top rookies until the late 2nd or early 3rd at the earliest. I'm not overly impressed with any of them and especially pre-draft it would be foolish to take any of them earlier than that. Could change somewhat with where they end up in the draft but for now that's what I would say.

Moreno and Beanie will be top 3 picks, Shonn Greene will be in that 5-9 range depending on which Rb's go and if some WR's are taken in that range, he probably won't last longer then that...I'm not a huge fan of Shonn Greene though, he just screams bust to me, but hey if your high on him don't let me sway you, he is just someone I'll have to miss the boat on.

ok now i have another question since Knowshon went to Denver were he will be the #1 guy, more then likely, does this raise his stock so is he now a top 10 ten rb overall in a dynasty format?

Not sure Moreno is a top-10 overall in a dynasty league. I still like Beanie Wells ahead of him, there's still a lot of competition for carries in Denver.

I graduated from UGA so I'm not exactly objective in this, but Moreno is extremely talented. I think he can be productive for Denver from day 1. But Denver also has Buckhalter and Torain (and probably some that I'm forgetting). I think Torain falls out of favor and Buckhalter and Knowshon end up splitting carries. Which sucks for me because I drafted Torain last year....

if not top 10 then maybe top 15 or 20?

I'm curious to see how much impact the changing of the guard in Denver will effect the approach they take in the running game, and what effect Moreno will have accordingly. Was the 3-5 headed monster committee approach a product of Shannahan exclusively? Did Pat Bowlen mandate it? Will McDaniels follow suit? Seeing Denver acquire Buckhalter and Jordon alludes to that since they already had Torian and Hillis, but you have to wonder if McDaniels will anoint a single RB to get most of the carries, or he'll feed it to the hot hand like New England does. That being said, I'd think about Moreno in the 2nd - 3rd Rd in regular draft, and I'd put him behind Wells in a rookie only draft. Personally, I have Westbrook in my only league with a rookie draft, so I'm taking McCoy if I get a chance.

Help with mine please?

No that's my mistake, I was talking in terms of rookie drafts not overall drafts. :-]
