Who to take #2 in Rookie Draft?

SDK_06_CHAMP · 06-22-2007, 05:58 PM

I am currently on the clock until 4pm CST on 6/23 (sat) with the #2 pick in our Rookie Keeper Draft. Calvin Johnson went #1 overall. I am debating between Lynch and Peterson, but not sure who I should take. Lynch will see more carries, but Peterson has more upside, and may benefit from a split backfield like Addai last year. Schedules also come into play. Not sure if I like MN or BUF schedule better. THIS IS ALSO A KEEPER DRAFT, so whoever I take I can keep next year.

Please give me your input as I would like have some outside info on this important decision!!!

I'd go with Lynch, like you said he'll get alot more carries than Peterson. With more carries comes slightly more yards. They each have a terrible O-Line, but I think Buffalo might be a little better.

Peterson will have better stats than Lynch, alot better imo. Peterson > Lynch.

As it is a KEEPER draft, I selected A Peterson. MIN O-Line is way, way, way better than Buffalo (MIN has McKinnie, Berk, and Hutchinson) plus a lot softer of a schedule. I took Chris Henry in the 2nd round and feel really good that I will be willing to keep one of them next year, as Henry may be starting in TEN week 1 depending on what LenDale eats!!!

A WR over a RB 1st overall? Was that considered a bold move in your league?
