zow2 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Drew Brees #1 overall instead of Adrian Peterson? Every magazine and website says AP....but my gut says Brees. I always pick a RB in the 1st round and it seems like the winner every season has a great QB. My league awards 6 pts for rushing and passing TD's. RB's get 1 pt for every 15 yds, QB's get 1 pt for every 25 pass yds. While AP is an awesome player, he hasn't rolled up the TD's and I feel like Brees is a sure thing for 4500+ passing yds and 30 TDs. What do you guys think? My draft is Tuesday and I need some advice!

JimBob2232 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 In my draft, Brees went at 2.7, Brady 2.8, Manning 2.9...I was planing on taking one of them at 2.10, but alas, didnt work out. I woulnd up with Portis/Steve Smith (Reggie Wayne available as well). Not a bad haul. So...I would not take brees #1 overall. Quote
The Tomcat Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 DO NOT TAKE HIM #1.... at the very most...trade done...have the #2 - #5 guys make you an offer for the the 1st pick...get their 3rd of 4th rounder to make that jump...you'll still get Brees (still too high at 5) and another good pick....

zow2 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 Still not sure why it's such a reach to take Brees #1? We have seen teams gameplan around stopping Peterson and they can do a decent job. Plus you're always worried about a hammy or knee/ankle. We have seen teams try to gameplan around stopping Brees and they cannot do it. There are only 4 really good QB's and several more decent RB's. By taking Brees I would also create somewhat of a "run" on the top QB's and maybe I would still get a decent RB at #20 or #21. Quote
The Tomcat Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 FWIW, I picked Brees #6 in my latest draft.... Quote
