The top three running backs did not go in order with the surprise pick of Gore second overall but a lot of the draft went pretty standard. Chris Johnson falling out of the first round was a little surprising as I feel he is due for a bounce back year. I was thrilled to get Adrian Peterson in the second round because I feel he will be healthy and we know what he can do when he is.I was shocked to see McFadden drop as far as he did but his injury history justifies it. Newton going in the second round was a little high for me. I feel he may lose some rushing touchdowns to Mike Tolbert and Brady went 2 picks later and is a much safer pick. Matthew Stafford in the third round has the capabilities of putting up top 3 QB numbers and I feel confident he will with the running back issues in Detroit. Marshawn Lynch slipping to the 3rd round was great.
value.
Shocker pick-Frank Gore Could have gotten him in the 3rd round
Fell into a stud pick- Leshean McCoy He was not supposed to be there at 4.
Highest upside pick- McFadden and Peterson If both are healthy top 5 backs.
Best Value pick- Jamaal Charles If completely healthy could return to 10′ form

"Go hard or go home, go home if your soft,
If your scared, say your scared,
But you lost from the start,
And I ain’t never met a winner
Who ain’t never had heart
Full throttle, red line, watch me rip it apart"
I like Brian Hughes’s Draft because he is simply awesome….PERIOD!
Problem is Tim’s draft is better because he is a fantasy expert.
