My draft is tonight, starting at 8:30 EST. It’s a 10-team PPR league, with 1 keeper. My keeper is Frank Gore. I pick # 3. The best available players (minus keepers) are: Andre Johnson Calvin Johnson Roddy White Miles Austin Larry Fitzgerald Steven Jackson DeAngelo Williams Peyton Manning Tom Brady Tony Romo Andre Johnson will be gone before I pick. The rest is up in the air. Advice? I’m leaning Steven Jackson if he’s there. I have Miles Austin high too. ---

There are going to be a lot of quality running back later in the draft, I don’t know your rules but I would take peyton manning or a great reciever before another running back ---

I go S-Jax or Calvin Johnson; Miles Austin isn’t a bad choice either. ---

6 pts for TD for everyone; half point per reception. I think I can get a top QB in round 2 (Romo, Rivers, Flacco, etc.) I think elite WR are the biggest commodity this year, but at 3 (13 with keepers)? ---

Go WR. In a 10 team PPR league, I’m waiting to take the last QB of the draft, and stocking up on WRs. ---

We’re underway… I took Steven Jackson… the way it’s going so far, I’ll get a good WR next ---

So far, so good. If you can nab a solid #2 WR, you’re golden. I’d go with WR as flex as well. ---

I got Pierre Garcon, Michael Crabtree, and Romo at QB
