Where it is real F ing COLD
Was at softball and back at work. Well I don't want to be the reason why you regret a decision but here it goes.

I draft second and I am hoping the Viking homers take Peterson first. I want Foster fir sure! Do I think Foster is better than AP? He'll no, AP is the best back on the planet. He has it all but this is why I take Foster.

Peterson's offensive line is a question, the center sucks and now they are juggling their tackles. Hutch wad dinges last year and age maybe a factor. Harrera is coming off acl surgery.

Texans are going to score a ton more points than the Vikes without a doubt. There will be several times this year that the vikes don't reach 17 points this season.

Andre Johnson, when he is healthy he demands much more respect than anyone else the Vikes have opening up the field.

Matt Schaub in his prime vs. Aging McNabb, no brained. Teams are going to stack the Vikes and force them to throw to beat em.

I expect the Vikes to play from behind a bit this season, being in pass mode.

Age: Peterson has been a round a bit longer and an injury to him is more likely.

Peterson gets taken out on third down situations more or at least did.

Foster is more involved and a better pass catcher than AP.

Vikes have a new offensive system with new qb, who knows what to expect? They may struggle a bit.

Positives for AP is that the vikes want to slow it down and play more double tight end sets, plus they are getting rid of the shitty eye which AP openly did not like the lead blocker and I wouldn't either with Tahi blocking.

I hope this helps

Thanks Bleed!! That helped A LOT!!!! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top 4 RB's, but then you gotta look at the teams and who is surrounding them. I agree that Minny will struggle to score this year...they shoulda got a big name WR and they didn't. I like Harvin, but he's no #1 guy and Berrian....well not really sold on him. Like you said they have no one as of now to spread the field which teams will load the box and aim at one guy....AP!!!! You can't stop AP, but you can slow him down and that will be the opposing teams strategy when playing the Vikings.......at least that would be mine. They have really nobody else.

Think I'm going Arian....usually feel sceptical about taking the #1 guy cuz they seem to never pan out like their previous season, but this dude is the real deal if healthy.

Shocked everyone and went with Ray Rice!!! Yup...Ray Rice!!! Only thing he was missing last year were the TD's. McGahee gone and it has been stated that Rice is the goal line guy. Williams is only there for mop up roles in games. Rice ready for BIG season!!!

Thats a good backfield, rice will have a good year just think foster will be better

No doubt....the top 4 RB's are going to be very productive this year. Rice will get DD TD's which will boost his points where he "should" of been last year....McGahee gone and the addition of Foster's all pro full back are HUGE!!


I went with your strategy of a late QB....got Stafford!!! :0074 If that gamble pays off I'm in for a solid season!! Hope so....

Bleed...you think Chris Johnson is going to sit out this season?? I picked up Javon Ringer as my last pick just in case. He's #2 in Tennessee and is pretty good. You might wanna get him as a last pick.......

I draft 2nd tomorrow and will take the best RB left.


Before you ask left, we get to keep a holdover player from last year and im guessing the better RB's will be gone. Im also hoping Ray Rice is there. Im holding over McCoy from Philly which will cost me my 4th rd pick

Foster may have re injured his hammy so you look pretty wise as it stands.

It's gonna linger most of the season if not all of it......you watch. He'll miss some games. Even if he plays he won't be near 100%. Feel bad for him cuz those hammy injuries SUCK!!!!! Just ask Andre Johnson last season.....
