     You do know he slumped for 5 straight games last year. Not familiar with your league rules, I'd have to go with Rodgers or an "ELITE 3" RB instead. Rodgers won't string bad games together.           gl

    I agree w/ Mischkin.  Calvin should go no higher than 4th, probably no higher than 5th, in any league

    Truth be told, there are plenty of questions at RB after Foster.  MJD hold out.  Vick is never healthy so that could affect McCoy.  AP coming back from injury.  At least there is depth at WR.  I'd take A. Foster.

    ok so first round pick I think youre okay...

    but first pick of the draft I would probably take a top RB or QB as they are in a tier of their own also

    I got him 8th today in a QB heavy league.  Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Stafford, Rice, Foster, McCoy taken ahead.

    Gotta take one of the big 3 running backs if possible.  Receiver is deep, running backs are shallow.  I wont own Megatron in any league that Im in this year because I would never pick him as high as he is going.
