On the subjective side of things I am a little wary of taking a player whose role is as undetermined as Cooley's. We all assume he is going to occupy a Gonzalez type role in Saudners' offense but we have no evidence to prove that he will or if he does that he will be able to do well with it.

I think Boldin is a the best option for sure.

It is a 10 team league, starting 1 QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE. I will have the last pick in the 1st round,(pick ten) I won my league last year so this is my reward. I am thinking RB. Who do any of you think will be available by then considering that only Larry Johnson will be kept from last year. (Larry was picked latter last year because of Holmes going in the 1st round)

If you're only starting one RB and you already have Portis, maybe you should use that pick on a good receiver like Steve Smith or Chad Johnson, or Peyton if he's still around. The only reason I could see for taking a top tier running back would be for trade bait.

At 10 and 11(I assume) I'd take best player available based on some projections/scoring system/scarcity. At 10 you' probably wont be able to get a top tier guy. You're talking the next tier(in my mind) or guys who are simply really good and not mortal locks for good season. Guys like James or Johnson may be there. The top WRs will be there. Peyton certainly wont be. I am not a big first round QB taker but if Peyton is there you almost have to take him.

I think you need to get two top tier type players there and that probably means WR.

Thanks for the advice FRPLG, I do have 10 and 11. 11 will be Clinton Portis my keeper from last year, so 10 is what I am focusing on. Then it will be picks 30 and 31. I believe our thinking is the same. I will have to get the best available, but I am hoping for at least a 2nd tier RB. I won my league last year with average QBs, but I got S. Alexander in round 1 and Portis in round 3 and they carried my team. Unless a can't miss like Peyton is available, I will probably pass on a QB and go RB. I am scared to wait until the 30 or 31 pick to try and get a RB.

What is your scoring system like?

Less emphasis on QB scoring, here goes.... 3 pts passing TD, 6pts rushing or receiving TD, 10 points for 250 yards passing, 1 point for every 25 yards after, 100 for rushing or receiving yards, 1 point for each 10 yards after.
