Some quick top 12's

Quick order, but my top 12, at every position, at this point.
qb-
Rodgers - offensive juggernaut with plenty of pieces and scoring scheme.
Rivers - Every year this dude just grinds. Gates is still on top, Mathews a year bolder, and he gets VJax back for the season
Brees - (see Rodgers)
Vick - A great athlete in a scheme that lets him cut loose with both his arms and legs
Manning - Steady, boring, great #1 Qb
Brady - (See Manning)
Schaub - He has a great back in Foster, Andre Johnson to play catch with, a healthy TE and speedy Wr in Jones to stretch the field. Yep!
Romo - I actually would rather draft all 4 of the Qb's that follow. If Dez has no conscience and an ounce of brain, this might work.
Ryan - Cool, calm and collected. Running game...check! TE....check! Stud wide out...CHECK! Safe starter?? Yep!
Freeman - I just like him. Dude wins games. Has Williams, and Winslow to throw to, and keep an eye on Benn.
Roethlisberger - What a fighter. He can win games with one arm and one leg.
Eli Manning - It ain't pretty, but it always seems to add up in the end!

rb-
Foster - I go with Foster due to offensive balance. (Remember...Foster was MJD's Fantasy pick of the year last year)
Peterson - Work horse back who gives all.
Johnson - The plan is to get him the ball in space, and that should spring him.
Charles - Explosive if he can absorb the punishment and keep on the field.
MJD - Redzone alone keeps him in the top 5.
Rice - Another very balanced offense, now with a defense that leaks.
McCoy - Might be ready to climb into the top 5. (see Charles)
Mendenhall - Steady #1 rb production per offenseive design
McFadden - The entry that scares me the most in my top 12. Was last year a fluke or a window?
Forte - Through the air and on the ground, he delivers.
Gore - Last year on this stage with this role.
Jackson - (see Gore) 2nd year Qb aids SJax

Wr-
Roddy - Offensive balance with a crafty vet TE and a QB who can find him.
AJ - (See Schaub and Foster) Best offensive balance in the league with a back who can run and catch.
Nicks - Makes defenders look silly.
Calvin - Needs his Qb and Rb to stay healthy.
VJax - When committed to playing he and Rivers are very dangerous.
Wayne - We started to see a changing of the guards last season but there is another solid year left.
Fitz - His Kingdom for a Vet Qb and a running game.
Wallace - Shocked the HELL out of me last year and with this offensive scheme and Mendy, won't shock me again.
Jennings - I truly feel the return of Finley aids Jennings the most. Finley helps stretch the middle for Jennings slants.
Williams - He and Freeman have something nice and cozy to build on.
DeSean - I have said this repeatedly this spring. I don't know if I want DeSean as my #1, but I'd die for he and Maclin as my 1 and 2.
Bowe - Please give me a better option for here. He has the talent and the running game, but he just disappears sometimes.

TE-
Gates - WOULD SOMEBODY COVER GATES!!!
Finley - Too cocky to let a knee injury hinder him, and Rodgers will help
Witten - A Blankie!
Clark - I can't imagine Tamme getting part of the gig yet
Davis - A Qb would really help
Daniels - Could be dangerous this season. If I can't get Finley or Graham, I would like Daniels.
Graham - I predict a redzone monster
Z. Miller - Until they get someone else who wants to catch the ball and stay healthy, he is it.
Winslow - Freeman solidifies him as a force, and Williams keeps the pressure off.
Pettigrew - Might cut into Calvin some, especially in the redzone
Gronk - I will not buy him as a #1 with Hernandez laying in the weeds. I wouldn't mind playing both in 2 TE leagues though.
Gonzo - Ryan, Roddy, and the committment to run, send this Hall of Famer off to retirement in style.

Not sure I'm ready to commit my first overall pick on Foster when Peterson is sitting there on the board.

When I consider his size, the actual age in his legs and body hits wise, then take a gander at Schaub being there to throw to AJ, a healthy Daniels, and a speedy Jacoby Jones, I have to wonder what the Vikings and the titans have to match it, or are those two backs gonna just hit that line again, and again and again. I'll be taking Foster with the #1. The vikes and the titans are in a state of flux.

I think Johnson has to be a real concern. With probably a rookie Qb at the helm, and Britt in jail, so no Wrs. Coulb be he has a huge target painted on himself this year.

I think Peterson has no issues, as I see Minny getting a vet and rookie at Qb. They need to re-sign Rice, but they should be balanced.

My issue is I feel Foster is a one year wonder, and that Tate will eventually take over. Too much talent.

The Vikings were in a huge mess last season and Peterson still got his touches. Worst case scenario, the Vikings will be better off than they were last season.
 
The Vikings enter this season as the 3rd best team in their division. The past few years they were looked at as favorites. ADP will be fine, and I'm not discounting that as I rank him in the top three. He just won't have the advantage of playing for the most balanced offense in the NFL. Foster will bring consistant numbers and give me that warm fuzzy feeling while drafting him.
