Would you take Steven Jackson in the 1st round

[Bleacher Creature]

I have the eight pick in a twelve person league.

[CSD]

First round? No.

[Bleacher Creature]

I'd like to get Manning, but I seriously doubt he'll be there.

Good question...

Speaking of which, I need to start up my scouting machine for the fantasy drafts I have on the horizon...

What kind of draft is it Kev? If it snakes, you'll have 8 picks between your 1st and 2nd pick...

If it doesn't, you'll only have seven...

Six of one, half dozen of the other, pretty much...

I think I'd wait and try to get him with your second pick at the earliest...

I think he's going to have a big year, but I don't think demand is such that you have to take him first round...

Taking him with the 8th pick says you think he's a top eight fantasy points guy...he may turn out to be, but I don't know if that's a risk I'd take in the first round just yet...

Depending on who's in your league, Manning should be gone before number 5....

Hell, you could make a case for him number one...

Although most folks I've talked to would put Tomlinson in the number one spot...

You can get a good running back at number 8 much better than Jackson. I was in a league last year where Edgerrin James slipped to me at number 10.

Jackson will be better than James this year...much better...

Plus, I think he can actually score on the goal line...

James is better then Jackson, spare me the BS about Jackson being better then James. The Rams have a back up named Marshall Faulk who is still going to get his fair share of touches. I like Jackson alot, I think he is going to be a great player in the NFL one day, but not until Marshall Faulk retires or is out of a Rams uniform.

Also gotta remember that Jackson plays for Mike Martz. Martz is in the air more than Southwest Airlines.

I have 8 different fantasy teams and SJ is on every one of them. He was always available in round 2 or 3. Don't waste your #1 pick on him. Wide Receivers are at a premium this year so try to snag a quality WR first.

Point of note: St.Louis has the easiest strength of schedule this year so consider that when eyeballing Bulger, Holt, Jackson, etc. Arizona is second so Boldin/Fitzgerald are good options for WR's as is Arrington (rookie) at RB. I actually have Warner on a few of my teams as back-up. I'm a sucker for Kurt.

So am I....In my keeper league I traded for a draft pick to get him as my backup to Brady.

One of my draft rules - No Rams. And even if I didn't have that rule, I wouldn't take Stephen Jackson in the first two or three rounds.

Good to see you back 'round these parts, BP!

CSD has a few defensive position leagues open, if you're looking to add to the pile of teams you manage...
