Manning or Tomlinson as Pick 1??

11
Vote

by user Alanschech

Summer is here, and soon all dedicated fantasy football owners will be heading to the magazines to prepare for draft day. My question is this, if you have the first pick in your league, do you go with Manning or Tomlinson, and why? Or do you go with someone else? Please debate....

LT also. Manning best year was 2 years ago. Colts best year was last year. They will face a drop-off this year. Also, Manning loves to throw acorss the middle of the field. Defenses are finally game-planning to force Manning to throw to the sidelines. Take LT in a heat-beat.

It's close, but I'd go with Joey Harrington. :)

  1. Tomlinson
  2. Shaun Alexander
  3. Peyton Manning
I worry about that second choice with Rivers just starting for his first full year. I count the loss of Brees for SD much more than I do the loss of Hutchinson for SEA. But then Alexander is older and getting near the usual "downhill" age. But then Tomlinson has had nagging injuries in the past. Opinions on Tomlinson vs. Alexander?

Okay, so making that a numbered list didn't work at all... you get the idea though.

LT #1, Alexander #2, LJ #3....LT & Alexander have produced consistently over the last few years why Johnson has had only one good year.

LT hands down. He has done it before with a young questionable QB. Don't forget, it wasn't that long ago when Brees sucked ass. Brees was terrible in 03 yet LT still ran for 1600 yards and 13 TD's. And that was before Gates exploded onto the scene.

It depends on the point structure of your league. In mine I'd take Manning with the 1st pick. The colts won't be able to rely much on the run without Edge attacking the defensive line. When in comes down to it..the first 4 picks are all number one quality players anyway.

You gotta go with johnson here - with holmes out of the picture, he figures to get great yardage next year. Out of the two, I say Tomlinson, mostly because RBs earn more points in my league than QBs. Tomlinson is a better player overall anyway, though, so I'd probably pick him over Manning if all was equal, too.
