So let me get this staight…Slaton is listed as 5-10 200lbs and is considered too small but Westbrook at 5-10 203lbs is a top 5 RB consistently? I know he has injury issues and it is probably due to his size, but everyone here would take him if they could. I guess the 3 lbs make a difference.

I have to really disagree w/ the S. Slaton being overrated comments because if you look at him he’s what 5′10″ 200 lbs yet if you look at the defenses he ran against they were some of the best in the entire NFL. Next the zone blocking scheme Houston employs plays to Slaton’s strengths, not to mention that HOU throws alot which opens holes and stops defenses from loading the line against him. I think you’ll see the same stats as last year except I think they’ll use the rookie for the goal line shots…I don’t remember his name though.

ThomasM, yes, If you land a top 8 pick, you can still go RB/WR/WR/QB, which is another solid look.

You’re right, I should have clarified that more. I’m going RB if I have a top 7-8 pick, but Frank Gore and then WR/WR will still get it done, then load up on rookie RBs for that RB2 rotation. Thanks for bringing that up.

I would add Lynch to the list.

Quit yammering about Ray Rice you guys! He is going to produce and he will be a steal, that is if you all quit educating the public and his ADP doesn’t climb up to where it should be.

I Like your guys’ draft strategies but I think that it is important to note that if you have one of the top 8 picks in a redraft league you are pretty much obligated to take a RB with your fist pick.
