AP: Seriously....

[shinner]

Given the chance, will you take Peterson with your 1st round pick? I'm down at 11th pick so there's no way he'll be available...but even if he were I'd really have to think about it. Why? Well...

- We're already seeing the supposed effect Favre is having on the team in the locker room (that is if we're to believe the reports). But beyond that...

- Knowing Favre's penchant for wanting to throw a ton, isn't that going to limit AP's chances...not only just on play selection, but because Favre also chucks up quite a bit of air-balls (led the league last year), so again, I think that means Minny's O has the ball for less time and contributes to AP's opportunities.

Now, I know the standard logic is you take the best player available no matter what team he's on and that great players are always gonna make their numbers...but damn if I don't have a feeling that Favre is gonna kill AP's production this year.

So whadda ya think? I haven't been reading the FF sites but surely someone else must have thrown out the same sort of question.

I always take a TE first and I always get what I want!

[Kettle]

i'm torn on the subject. i THINK i'd prefer turner, forte, and williams over AP

[Carolina Husker]

Umm, yes, if he's there at the 11th, you take him. Which he won't be.

[dimbee]

Forte will be the steal

Forte will be the steal

hard to call him a steal at 1-4...which is where he is going.

the only legit offensive weapon that the vikings have had has been peterson.

if farve can develop even the hint of a decent pass game to decrease the number of 8 man fronts that peterson has to run against, peterson will easily be the number one back in the league again this season.

I agree he deserves to be up there, but I don't know whether it's Cutler's arrival and a presumption of switching to a pass-first offense or what, but I've seen him dropping past 7 in drafts...

peterson still fumbles

[nosuchthingasapanther]

peterson still fumbles

he's still number one.

[Kettle]

he's still number one.

according to all the espn ball lickers.

oh, I know he won't be there at 11...I'm not worried about it even though I grabbed him last year at #2....I was just thinking about what I'd do if I were picking in the top 3 or 4 and he was available. If Favre wasn't the QB I'd have no reservations because I don't think they'd be so committed to the pass as they will with the gunslinger back there. IMO, Favre is a negative with regard to AP.

Forte will be the steal

To be honest. As much fantasy football I have done, Forte was OFF my radar last year.

Some guy grabbed him like in Round 7 or 8...ummm WOW.

I had Forte and Slaton last year not to mention Warner, but I didn't even make the playoffs. I guess I just suck.
