There is a new #1 overall pick! Arian Foster is a monster on the turf. A hamstring injury made is draft stock drop last year and I was the lucky one to get him at the 5th pick. He missed week 2 and 3 because of his injury but came back in week 4 against Pittsburgh. I had a decision to make, do I start a RB is not 100% against one of the best defenses or do I sit him. I decided to start him and he did not disappoint. Foster rushed 30 times for 155 yards. Foster splits carries with Ben Tate who would probably start on another team. I see Foster having another big year!

Ray Rice is averaging the #2 pick which I believe is about right. I have drafted Rice at the 3 and 4 spots over the last couple of years and he did not disappoint. He continues to perform in the run and the pass game. He catches alot of passes and gains alot of yards. The Ravens added Jacoby Jones to their WR corps and he should be a nice compliment to Boldin and Smith. My only concern is I believe Flacco is overrated. Rice should be in for another big year.

Leasean Mccoy took the world by storm last year. I'll be honest, I had no idea Mccoy would be able to put up 20 td's (17rushing). The Eagles are a pass happy offense but they will not hesitate to run it down a defenses throat. They utilize the pass to open up the run. The Eagles had one of the best offseasons in terms of upgrading their defense. This will translate to getting the offense the ball and will prove beneficial for Mccoy.

Some would argue that Rodgers could actually go #1 overall. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. If your league scores the QB position favorably, go for it. Rodgers had one of the best season's for a QB. He has a ton of weapons and should have a 2012 season identical to 2011. It would be hard to pass on Rodgers at 4.

What else is there to say about Calvin Johnson? You can't stop him, you can only wish to touch him! Taking a WR at the 5th sport would normally be frowned upon but because of Johnson's ability, it is a good pick. He has been the bright spot on a bad team.  The Lions are on the rise and in 2011, the had their 1st playoff appearance in a long time. My only concern is the Lions are too comfortable with relying on Johnson, they aren't getting him any help. Nate Burleson is a decent WR but only as a WR4.

You heard it here first, this could be MJD's year. Not because MJD has proven to be a beast every year but JAX has made some really good offseason moves. The jury is still out on Gabbert as QB1 but adding Chad Henne is great insurance. JAX drafted Justin Blackmon and added Laurent Robinson. They also picked up Lee Evans. This will make defenses respect other players on offense. My only issue is that MJD is skipping the OTA's due to his current contract situation. Hopefully it can get worked out.

It was a rough 2011 for Chris Johnson so it doesn't surprise me that the once #1 overall pick has dropped to #7. If he can get it together, this would be a steal. Johnson said he will be working hard this offseason in order to play better. He said his contract situation, the lack of an offseason and working with new coaches were factors in his decreased production last season.

Coming in at #8 is Brees. In a normal NFL year, I would say this is the right spot for Brees. But this is not a normal year for the Saints. They are without their head coach who is their offensive playcaller. Not to mention, Brees isn't happen with his contract situation. There is speculation that Brees will be a hold out. Although it's only 1 spot, I would rather take Brady before Brees.

To be honest, Tom Brady at 9 is a surprise to me. In my opinion, there are 3 RB's I would take within the 1st 3 picks. After that, I would go with one of the top 2 QB's. Brady has done it year after year. With the addition of Brandon Lloyd, that will only give the Patriots an offensive boost. I envision alot of receiver sets with Hernandez, Ocho, Gronkowski, Lloyd, and Welker. Somebody will be open! This would be the year I take Brady very early!

This pick is a head scratch to me. Ryan Matthews is a very talented RB but he hasn't shown me enough to consider him a 10th overall pick, let alone a 1st round pick. Matthews benefits from a pass happy offense that sees at least 3 WR's each play and a top tier QB. Picking Matthews this early will be a risk this year as the Chargers let Tolbert go in free agency. Matthews will be asked to carry the load this year and he has durability issues. Be careful!
