Question Would you take a flyer on??

Ryan Matthews with the 5th pick if Ray Rice was gone?? Gimme your thoughts guys, really really like him to have a big year (1250 yds & 8-10tds) is what I'm thinking. He's the real deal, really respect all of you guys and will listen to any positive & negative feedback to help make my decision. I will only take him IF, Ray Rice is gone. So let me hear it boys.

My top 5 right now would be CJ, AP, MJD, Gore, and Turner......then Rice and would take Andre Johnson before I took Matthews

Way too high, 12 man league, I just got Matthews with the 15th pick. If I were you and that high on Matthews I would try to trade out of the spot and pick up another pick later on to move down and still snag him

Yeah you guys are right, that is too high. Hopefully I get Rice then on the way back with the 20th pick I think I grab Shonn Greene.

Matthews fell to pick 28 in my league but that was because a run of QBs happened mid to late 2nd round which is where he should be drafted

You can't miss on a pick in foots. Season is too short, 1 maybe 2 players come out of nowhere to make an impact off the waiver wire. Slaton completely ****ed my team up last year and I took him in the 2nd round.

If you wanna start reaching for some guys you like, after round 4 is the earliest to start
