Default Post your top 12 fantasy draft picks

Well my fantasy draft has not happened yet. My draft is not till the end of August. In a 12 owner league, I have pick #12. Yikes. Though I also have pick #13. So like any fantasy players I am trying to predetermine who will be available when it gets to my pick. Of course the scoring system can matter on your picks, in my league RB and WR are the key positions.

My listed top 12 draft:
1 Larry Johnson, RB, Kansas City
2 Shaun Alexander, RB, Seattle
3 LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, San Diego
4 Tiki Barber, RB, N.Y. Giants
5 Edgerrin James, RB, Arizona
6 Steven Jackson, RB, St. Louis
7 Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis
8 LaMont Jordan, RB, Oakland
9 Rudi Johnson, RB, Cincinnati
10 Brian Westbrook, RB, Philadelphia
11 Cadillac Williams, RB, Tampa Bay
12 Willie Parker, RB, Pittsburgh

Hovering around the top 12:
Terrell Owens, WR, Dallas
Donavan Mcnabb, QB, Philadelphia
Marvin Harrison, WR, Indinanapolis
Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego
Clinton Portis, RB, Washington

With pick #12 and #13 I would take Brian Westbrook RB if he fell down that low, and I think Antonio Gates TE will have another huge year.

You are going to lose for sure if you draft a TE with the #13 pick

Its a factor of who will remain healthy, the expected record of the team, and their previous years. Yes Willie Parker is that high on my list, because Bill Cowher will always run the ball esp when the Steelers have a decent lead. Antonio Gates seems like a very odd pick, but he had one of the highest points production totals last year, even for a TE. He was in the endzone all the time.

This is not a lock decision, it will be a on the clock choice. However I am thinking Gates will have another big year.

2005 season:
Player No Yds Avg Long TD
Antonio Gates 89 1101 12.4 38 10

Just a couple of thoughts...

- I know it has been said ad nauseam but the 4th pick this year may be the single worst picking position of all time

- You can't take a TE with #13, the only way I'm not taking 2 RBs 12/13 is if Manning falls that low (and that's mostly for the trade value)

- I think the 3rd pick this year is the best but I think 8 is also good (especially if you get 1 or 2 bad owners in front)

Here’s my top 12 (assuming Clinton Portis is out, I had him 5th before the shoulder thing):

1. Shaun Alexander, RB, Seahawks
2. Larry Johnson, RB, Chiefs
3. LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, Chargers
4. Tiki Barber, RB, Giants
5. Edgerrin James, RB, Cardinals
6. Rudi Johnson, RB, Bengals
7. Steven Jackson, RB, Rams
8. Carnell Williams, RB, Buccaneers
9. Ronnie Brown, RB, Dolphins
10. LaMont Jordan, RB, Raiders
11. Domanick Davis, RB, Texans
12. Brian Westbrook, RB, Eagles

Houston sportsradio610 does their daily show from the training camp indoor bubble. They believe Domanick Davis degenerative knee condition is continuing to get worse. They feel he might never be back to his original potential, and might not even be a starter for week1. Week 1 is still 3 weeks away though.

People are droping Portis from 4 to out of the first round? I thought they said hell be fine.
