So, my big $ league is coming up and I drew 5th overall.

This league is a QB heavy league, so the top 5-10 picks will probably be quarterbacks.

I'm thinking that the top 3 is a combination of Rodgers, Brees, Brady...

So, with 5 I am looking at a group of: Stafford, Eli, Rivers, Newton, Vick...

We start 2 quarterbacks so I am unable to pass on one here, I might actually take another in my round 2.

I'm hoping for Stafford. BUt if he goes 4 what to do...

Stafford: Stud, injury risk.
Eli Manning: Inconsistent at times, but a solid performer.
Rivers: a lock for close to 30 tds close to 4,000 yards.. v-jax left though?
Newton: 14 rushing is goin to be really tough again, can he improve his passing or will he slump ?
Vick: injury injury after injury.

I am leaning taking whomever falls from Stafford/Eli..

anyone else have some input?

Stafford/Newton for me. In fact, Newton over Staffor if only because of the injury factor. Eli's a solid #2 but no way would I be drafting him 5th overall and expect him to carry me into a championsip. Rivers sure I get it...expect the bounce-back, solid safe pick. But Newton is so much more dynamic I dont see how ya pass that up.

I even get Rivers over Stafford (not that i necessarily agree). But Newton ya gotta go for it

Stafford is the answer and I agree with you that you should go QB/QB if there is a worthy guy there in the 2nd. If passing TDs are only worth 4 and rushing tds are worth 6 then I'd go with Newton. No, he doesn't come close to approaching 14, but even if he gets half that he would be worth it.

Newton easy for me. I am willing to reach for him this year. He is special. And I NEVER draft qbs early.

Newton should be your pick. QB is the only player who touches the ball every play. And few have the ability to throw for a TD or run for one on any given play. To me, it's Newton by a COUNTRY mile and then some.

Yeah I don't know why people assume Newton will have a worse year solely because he out performed expectations last year. Kids a talent, not ifs ands or buts about it.

But for the injury, I could lean towards Stafford at #5.

List your league scoring rules and roster format?

I know I can give you better advice if I understand what your league favors.

Sure.. They are below... so as you can see.. if you have a QB who has a 400 yard game with a 50 yard td pass, your almost golden.... long tds and passing yardage help a TON.

Top 10 scorers last year were: Brees, Rodgers, Stafford, Brady, Eli Manning, Cam Newton, Tony Romo, Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, Calvin Johnson.

Roster Format is: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, UTIL (ANY), DEF, K most teams that win and want to compete slot in an extra QB at the UTIL spot.

Like I said I am leaning towards Eli if he falls beacuse hes so reliable. Its so expensive of a league that it actually deflates Cam's value a little bit cause of uncertainty. Sure he can be a complete stud, but he may not be that great and suffer a slump as well and your pissing away 400 bucks. I know this shouldnt be a deciding factor but for me, unfortunately it is.

We are planning to go QB in round 1, and see where the draft is round 2, possibly taking a qb2 or a WR 1 and then in round 3 trying to nab josh freeman whom i think is a huge bounce back candidate.

man up and pick Peyton Manning

Picking Manning would be a silly pick.. learning a new system, coming off injury, losing zip on his ball, etc..
