    Just a quick FYI:

     

    In Shakespearian English, "Wherefore" means "Why".

     

    Juliet was asking "Why are YOU Romeo?" not "Where are you Romeo?"

     

    "Why are you Mendenhall (and not Arian Foster), I believe is your question.

     

    I have spent my life misinterpreting "Wherefore".

    I had him on my "no draft list" for 2012 before the injury. This year it looked like he was on the backside of his career and was starting to break down.

     

    So you were wrong. He twisted his ankle and took a shot to the knee while putting up over 1100 total yds and 13 total tds with a 4.6 avg rush on a bad team with no QB, hardly a wr and a bad oline. Oh and he missed a few games.

    Study hard and pounce on underrated players quickly. I think you should trade ADP and PThomas. Take ADP and go get a young RB like Stewart and a guy like SRice. Turn right around and sell Rice for a guy lilke Hicks and a pick, or something like that. 1 for 2s are good for you. You might be able to sneak in the playoffs and make some noise, then be better for 2011.

    Pats fan and happy to have him on our team.

     

    I have some questions though:

     

     

     

    Do the Pats plan on continuing to run the 3-4 primarily?

     

    Are there other nose tackles than can fill the position well enough?

     

    Does this position's weight level overshadow the long term investment?

     

    Can that $ be spent better?

     

    The Pat's return leverage is shrinking, but is that worth having him 1 more year?

    Call me weird, but I don't draft anyone in the first round who only had 1 good year. Because there are many examples of 1 year wonders, its not worth the risk.

     

    Weirdo. AD has only played one year. He's a stud. Tomlinson is a stud too but he's getting old.

     

    Are you saying that you wouldn't take AD in the first round? Because if you are then who would you take at 10 or 12 over him?

     

    It's close in a redraft, it isn't close in a keeper.

    Impressive speed. Yes I like him, but I think Bennett is a very good example.

     

    Those holes he was running through might not be there though within the hash marks. The outside LBs will be faster as well not to mention schemes designed to make him prove he can run between the tackles. Face it the WRs don't scare anyone.

     

    If they can spread out the O enough he could be great. Can VY and Co. open up that space? That is the question.

    It's impossible to say who or what position to grab before the draft as every pick could create a different strategy. I'd say try to get dominant players at every position (obvious right) - what I'm saying is to gain separation from others in a 6 team league you'll need to grab players that put up huge points and players that can separate from others.

     

    Players to target:

    Adrian Peterson, Brian Westbrook, LaDainian Tomlinson, Steven Jackson

    Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Reggie Wayne

    Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Carson Palmer

    Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Kellen Winslow, Tony Gonzalez

     

     

    I'd make sure to get one of the top 5 QBs, and one of the top 4 TEs.

     

    Getting Randy Moss and/or Tom Brady or Peyton Manning could be huge. Hopefully you get a top 2 pick so you can get LT or AD. I'd try to get 3 top 15 WRs too.

     

    Yep, good stuff and I almost agree with everything but I wouldn't value the TE so much. Remember quality TEs, AND quality WRs will be available all season. A Stud QB will be very valuable. Getting 1 stud RB will also be important. Getting a stud WR wont as all you have to do is outplay the other team's 3 WRs.

    I think if you actually take into account "margin of error", which is very high in these of course, then it's actually OK or even expected to have some mathematical inequalities.

     

    This is why I like tiers. Do I really believe I can tell the difference between RB 21 and RB 22? Or even 10 and 11?

     

    I enjoy your rankings this early. The early ones can mean so much when separating strong owners. Your radar picks will make me research them more.

    Maroney and a second tier rook RB

    For a big 3 RB and Bradshaw

     

    The WRs are a wash

     

    I like the idea of getting that pick and hedging your gamble on pick 2. Keeping Bradshaw is also a no brainer.

     

    But, and there's always a but, you are giving up Maroney and getting a rook thats hopefully, well, Maroney.

     

    That pick and Bradshaw still isn't Maroney. He's a definate starter on a strong offense.

     

    Tough one. I'd say do it but for points this year you might lose. Trade value not withstanding I don't like the deal. You are trading possibly your best RB and possibly your only RB that has potential of being a #1 fantasy RB. Turner and Graham together aint going to get it done.

     

    Good Luck

    I wouldn't pass on him as my RB2. With the numbers I posted, if ADP was my RB1, I'd likely win two games easily, and need a ton of points from my 'non-studs' to win the other 3.

     

    Hey, maybe Peterson becomes a consistant week-in-and-week-out threat this year. That would be great. I just can't pick him too early and watch a repeat performance of last year. I'm more of a conservative drafter. I let teh other guys roll teh dice. Give me my 1100 yards/12 TD-guy as my RB1.

     

    I don't really think he's a "roll of the dice". Compared to who? Everyone has risk. You wouldn't want him as a RB1? Where would you rank him? Bottom half of top ten?

     

    This guy's a stud worth top 3 in any draft, redraft or keeper or anything else. I think he's #1 but to rank him 4 or lower is just crazy.
