4th overall pick

[jeffd]

In my keeper league I have the 4th pick. My keepers are Joseph Addai and Ronnie Brown. Our rosters are 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 QB

RB's:
Rudi Johnson (expect him to be gone)
Travis Henry
Jones-Drew
Brandon Jacobs
Willis McGahee

WR's:
Steve Smith
T.O.
Torry Holt
Chad Johnson

QB's:
Palmer (a reach here but I know the #10 guy is taking him if he's still there)

If Rudi lasts until me I think it's a no brainer but none of the top 3 teams have 2 RB's, the top guy has 0 RB's. My plan is to go with S. Smith, C. Johnson or Palmer (in that order) if they are available. If not I may try to trade out of my spot.

Any input would be great. Thanks.

in your situation, my cheat sheet would be.....

1.) Travis Henry
2.) Rudi Johnson
3.) Chad Johnson
4.) Steve Smith

note, my lone fantasy team was 3-11 last year so take my advice for what it is worth

Before the draft i convinced myself to take the best RB since we can start 3 and their would be plenty of quality WR left in the 2nd and 3rd round. Then as my pick came up and Jones-Drew and Travis Henry were still there I went with my gut instead of logic and took S. Smith. I still ended up with Jones-Drew in the 2nd, Portis in the 3rd (not needed but great value) and Lee Evans on the 4th. Later in the draft I picked up Leinart as my starter and Winslow at TE.
I think this was the best draft of my life!
