Jamal asks, I have the 2nd overall pick in a standard scoring league.  My buddy already told me that he is going to pick Adrian Peterson with the first overall selection.  Who do I take at No. 2?

DR U: That is a great question Jamal.  There are several names that get tossed around in this spot, but there is not a clear consensus this year of who the No.2 pick should be.  I am assuming you will be looking for a running back with this selection, which means we are talking about Michael Turner, LaDainain Tomlinson, Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, Brandon Jacobs, Maurice Jones-Drew, Brian Westbrook, or DeAngelo Williams.  You can make a case for any one of those guys I just mentioned.  However, I think that it is a coin flip between Steven Jackson and Michael Turner.  Since Jackson is coming off a worse year and on a worse team, I will give the nod to Turner. With that being said, if you have a 3-sided coin, then feel free to include Tomlinson for the flip also.
