One-man mock draft: Tomlinson still first, Parker falls to third round

Minnesota Vikings

2. Adrian Peterson

Running back Peterson rushed for over 1,300 yards and scored 13 total touchdowns in his rookie season, and he did it all in 14 games (nine starts). He does lose a little value with veteran Chester Taylor still in the mix, but Peterson will remain one of the top three selections in all drafts. In fact, I expect him to be taken ahead of Tomlinson and be the No. 1 overall choice in countless formats.

I'd take him, he should be very solid back. Get Peterson in the first round and McFadden in the second and your set. The learning curve for backs isn't that great and McFadden has all the physical tools. Look at some of the other backs that have made an immediate impact, Peterson, Addai, Parker, Jone Drew, Lynch. And with the exception of Peterson I would say McFadden is the most physically ready of any of them.

Lynch might be worth a top 5 pick. Same with Gore. I would drop LJ a bit because of health issues.
looking a little farther down the list, andre johnson is a risk because of health as well. and there is no way i am taking CJ in any league. Braylon is top 5 WR in league I think, and I will probably overdraft him as I love the man.
