Never pick a QB that early - or in the first round at all. Since I am a 'Skins fan and I already think he is awesome, I would pick Portis (and did last week in my draft). But if you can't trust a Joe Gibbs RB (heh heh - Saddle 'im up!) then I would say James. I know this is counter to every "expert" in the world, but don't worry about what the experts say. The top 10 RBs have 5 new members every year. There is always a lot of turn-over and what a guy did last year is only one indicator. I think Edge is 2 years out from his knee surgery and in a CONTRACT YEAR. Oh yeah - he is only 26. In his P R I M E if you ask me.
You will take flack for the pick that early in the round, but at the end of the year when you are drinking beer out of your trophy, you can stick it up their ass. Think about it this way - the Colts are DARING teams to stack the box to stop the run. Manning will pick them apart if they try it with his very capable recievers.
The daring ones win the league.
