I think this year is more wide open and uncertain then ever before. For the first time in a very long time the Quarterback position has a TON of elite arms and stat stuffers. Usually if you don't have a top 5 QB, you are scrambling and worried.
- I hate the RB position this year, after the top 3 of Rice, Foster and McCoy you may as well close your eyes and throw a dart. I'm seeing people try and make cases for bums like Ryan Matthews being a first round pick. I think he sucks, and doesn't have what it takes to be a NFL producer. SD is going to try and glue together their season with Rivers, and he lost his #1 target in Jackson. Now Gates says he's the most healthy he has been in year, yea right. If SD tries to win this year by running Matthews, they won't win more than 7 games. Only guys I'm targeting outside of the top 3 I mentioned are probably Richardson, and Doug Martin.
- There has never been such discrepancy in WR's after about the 5th-8th. WR everyone is saying is deep, while it might be the amount of talent drops off a cliff after about 8. Guys like Percy Harvin, Colston and Bowe are going to be relied upon hoping to have bounce back years. I'm not excited about breaking down WR's this is going to be an issue.
- Tight Ends this year will be interesting to see play out. Fleener, Davis, Tamme, Cook could all have monster seasons and end up with similar seasons to Graham and Gronk last year. If you look at the offenses they play on - it's all about questionable and comfortability based QB's. Fleener has his rookie college QB, Davis rookie QB, Tamme has a guy who hasn't played in 18 months, Jared Cook has no weapons around him to catch the ball once Britt gets suspended.

I play in a 10 team, start 2 QB and start 2 defenses league. I'm going QB in the first round no matter what. I may even go QB in round 2 because of how important our passing is. That's how you win this league. Taking a defense early is normally frowned upon but in this league it garners tons of points. The only issue I have is taking a Qb in 2 straight rounds will kill me at the RB position. Very excited for the season but tons of worry and skepticism. Have we ever seen a year with so many injury concerns?
