My 1st Pick Barometer

(Adrian Peterson)

I've seen multiple people try and get fancy with the first pick. They try to make a fashion statement like Lukas and his cream orange Buccaneers hat, but like the hat they never really pan out like you planned.  That's why I'm leaning heavily towards Adrian Peterson. He was #3 in the NFL Top 100 poll, he gets goal line carries, he catches the ball, he might as well take Hurst's job too and drive the bus while he is at it.

I'd sleep a lot easier with my pick if the Vikes acquired a veteran quarterback like McNabb or even an Orton. Who we kidding though All-Day Peterson has been running against a stacked box his whole career.

(Arian Foster)

It's tearing me apart that I can't just pick this guy up out of free agency this year. Everyone knows the deal with Arian. There are two questions that everyones asking. Can he do it again? and What is last years first round pick Ben Tate going to do?

 He's on an awesome team that everyone likes to watch, he catches the ball, he gets all the goal line carries, and he does that cool bow when he scores too. (:12 seconds you hear the infamous "stand up and take a bow"

            

I want to make sweet fantasy love to you, but are you teasing me?

(Jamaal Charles)

He's like the cute girl at school that dated some tool the year before, but dumped him so now everyone one wants her. However, in the long run she doesn't really put out, and rarely scores. She usually gets too drunk and hands the ball off to one of her friends to finish the job; i.e Thomas Jones. We'll see how Jamaal looks on draft night, maybe he wears that nice sun dress, and maybe I pull the trigger and go sexy with my pick.

An injury to Thomas Jones in pre-season could make this pick very interesting though.

Maurice Jones-Drew
I had the #1 overall pick a couple years ago as well, so I picked MJD aka The Cat's Pajamas. The man hosts his own fantasy show, so I know every game he is playing for me too, and not just the Jags (except when he takes a knee on the 1). The only thing that sucks about drafting MJD is that you have to follow the Jaguars all year (Ask Powers he knows my pain). MJD is one of those players who will get you a consistent 10+ points a week because of his ability to catch the ball, and the fact that the Jags will give the ball to him 3 straight, sometimes even 4 straight, on the 1 yard line.

I'd rock the Cat's Pajamas if I got a Retweet from him on Twitter

(Madison Hedgecock)

Good ol' MadCock I picked him last year as a joke because I knew I was going to drop him the next day and pick up one of the hundreds of free-agents. The guy who replaced MadCock on my team last year was none other than Arian "take a bow" Foster. Maybe this guy is just lucky, and maybe I hit the lottery twice.
