I'm two hours away from my first draft of this year's fantasy football season. I'm the team owner in a yahoo-fantasysports league. It's a private league, that means I'm playing mainly against my friends. I'm not so good prepared for this draft, but I want to share my draft sheet with you. Here's my Top 5 for every position:
Runningbacks
1. Adrian Peterson
2. Joseph Addai
3. Clinton Portis
4. Maurice Jones-Drew
5. Frank Gore
Quarterbacks1. Adrian Peterson
2. Joseph Addai
3. Clinton Portis
4. Maurice Jones-Drew
5. Frank Gore
1. Tom Brady (of course)
2. Big Ben Roethlisberger
3. Tony Romo
4. Drew Brees
5. Peyton Manning
Tight Ends
1. Antonio Gates
2. Jason Witten
3. Chris Colley
4. Dallas Clark
5. Jeremy Shockey
Wide Receiver1. Antonio Gates
2. Jason Witten
3. Chris Colley
4. Dallas Clark
5. Jeremy Shockey
1. Randy Moss (of course)
2. Reggie Wayne
3. Wes Welker
4. Braylon Edwards
5. Larry Fitzgerald
Defenses
1.Pittsburgh
2. Minnesota Vikings
3. San Diego Chargers
4. Chicago
5. Tampa Bay
I can't wait to see with which players I end up. I think drafting the right Running Back is the toughest task in this year's draft. There are so many "running back by committee" teams in the NFL, everyone tries to pick the last remaining "featured backs".
OK, I'm ready...May the best player gets drafted by me!

Where is Ladanian Tomlinson in your running back list? Are you crazy?

Read that post: LT- Don't pick that guy!. It explains why there is no LT in my list!

schanzerx, I can understand the reservation on LT, but I would have to question why Ben over Eli? Also, there is a lack of Reggie Bush.
As for defenses, mine would be Chicago first.

Big Ben played a very good season last year (30+ TDs) and I think the Steelers are even better than last year. Eli played strong in the postseason, but his fantasy value during the regular season went up and down. In my opinion he is not solid enough. And Reggie Bush plays in a RBBC (running back by committee)-team and I think his hype is much bigger than his fantasy value. Only big numbers win you games not big names.
