Here is top ten

1 LaDainian Tomlinson (SD-RB)
Amazing '06. Should go No. 1 in most '07 drafts --

2 Steven Jackson (StL-RB)
Lofty goals for '07. Don't doubt he'll reach them

3 Larry Johnson (KC-RB)
Threatening to hold out until new contract arrives

4 Shaun Alexander (SEA-RB)
Missed a lot of time, but could return to his best --

5 Frank Gore (SF-RB)
A gamble in '06. a Great pick in '07 --

6 Brian Westbrook (PHI-RB)
Had some amazing games after staying healthy --

7 Willie Parker (PIT-RB)
Durable enough for the incoming run-first offense --

8 Joseph Addai (IND-RB)
A more consistent option with more experience --

9 Laurence Maroney (NE-RB)
Dillon's gone, so he's the guy. And he's a good one --

10 Rudi Johnson (CIN-RB)
Hardly any games without a TD or 100+ yds

Yeah running backs i would go with LT or Gore
Here are some WR Steve Smith looks good

Marvin Harrison WR IND Had slumps, but a strong finish made a good year

Steve Smith WR CAR Productive. Should be happy he inked an extension

Terrell Owens WR DAL Backed up his mouth: led the league in TDs

Torry Holt WR STL Good yardage, but no TDs in 8 of last 10 games

Reggie Wayne WR IND Produced like a No. 1 on many weeks. Great No. 2

Chad Johnson WR CIN Dominant when he was the focal point of attack

Roy Williams WR DET Who wouldn't love to play under Mike Martz?

Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI 06 was okay, but his groove came a bit too late

Whoa! I'd recomend not doing that. How many people in your leauge?

You should be able to get a top 6 QB in the 3rd round (Manning, Breese, Palmer, Brady, Bulger, McNab), no need to go number 1. Manning puts up good points, but not that good! Manning may be a first rounder, but he's a bottom of the first rounder. I took Manning in the first round last year, but that was with the 10th pick in a 10 man league.

Get yourself a RB with #3.

Wow no one has McGahee or Henry in the top 10? You know both of these RB's are the focal point of their offense. And forget about a 2 back system. These boys will be carrying a heavy load!

Addai? His numbers were inconsistent last year even though he only had 50% of the carries. Who knows what he'll be able to do in a pass happy offense next year. I consider him more of a sleeper pick then a top 10.

Maroney? I just think he's too risky to be selected in the top 10. Brady has so many weapons this season its not even funny. Even though their offense is completely balanced, he may still put up huge numbers this season. Who knows?

Peyton selected #3 is just a bit high. You gotta remember RB's touch the ball the most. We're talking about 25+ carries per game. They basically have 25 opportunities to make a big run or score TD's. I would go RB, RB, then a QB. But it also depends on how many teams are in the league and how many QB's you are starting.

True true i learned you have to find the sleepers that arnt on the top 10 or 50 that sucked last year and are gona put big numbers up this year, Alex Smith or Davis you know what i mean. Everyone picks of the top of the list but the good picks are the sleepers.

I agree but the other top 10 have legit reasons for being top 10. I agree Henry COULD be top 10, but there are alot of factors going against him..Cutler being #1..still unproven and he has a bunch unproven wr's (except javon) that he's throweing too, don't be surprised to see some stacked lines early stopping henry forcing Jay to beat them.

Same with McGahee...are you realllllly scared of baltimores offense? same situations
