... and LaDanian Tomlinson and Priest Holmes go 1 and 2. Who do you pick? I know picking a RB is the safe/smart choice, but I feel like there is no clear #3 RB left in the pool, esp. given Ahman Green's (albeit minor) preseason injury and Jamal Lewis' upcoming trial. Clinton Portis? Washington's O-line is suspect at best. Shaun Alexander? I am so iffy on this guy. Deuce McAllister? Rushes for good yardage, but not for too many touchdowns. Edge James? Can I really pick him with my first pick and not feel a little uneasy?

Anyways, this is my dillemma as it looks like I will pick third in my upcoming draft. I am almost tempted to draft Peyton Manning or Duante Cullpepper first and avoid the first choice RB altogether, which seems foolish I know, but I just see no sure shot RB at #3 ... unless Ahman Green is healthy and ready to go.

Also, would you go Randy Moss, TO, or Marvin Harrison with WR choice #1? I am leaning towards Marvin right now ...
Any advice?
