What to do with the number one pick

I joined a fantasy football league and I have the number one pick.

I plan on picking LaDainian Tomlinson.

If the scoring rules get changed to something reasonable, there's an argument to be made for a few different guys. As-is, there's only one guy I'd take #1 and it's not close.

Well since I'm competing against you and all, I shouldn't give advice..but this is a no-brainer. Take Tomlinson. Your only other option is to trade the pick.

I wouldn't take LT until at least 9th.

not a complete no brainer for me...at least i think there are several options.

i think SD was a bit of a fluke last year...and don't think they will be as good this year...which means LT probably won't have the career year he had in 04-05.

IMO this is a no-brainer. Peyton Manning and it's not even close. You are crazy if you don't pick him up.

And LT isn't even the best RB..

Can I join your league? Do you play for money?

Mike, LT is THE only option unless you have some wacky scoring system.

Here's a hint...I draft 9th in his league.

This is just comical.

People don't realize that in many leagues, Culpepper had a better fantasy year last year than Manning. Sure, Daunte will drop a little bit this year, but it stands to reason that Manning will too, as it'll be dang near impossible to repeat last years stats.
