Fantasy Football: Who's Number Two?

PrintWe'll have more word on the official Daily Norseman Fantasy Football League for 2011 next week when I, hopefully, have a little more time to get it set up and determine how to let people be a part of it. There's a chance that there will be more than one league this year. . .since it's on Yahoo!, it's free, after all. . .so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Today's fantasy football post focuses on the draft once again. Now, with this being a the greatest Minnesota Vikings' site, I assume that most of us have an inherent bias as to who we would draft for our fantasy football team if given the first overall pick in the draft. . .it would be the one and only Adrian Peterson.
So, rather than asking you who should go first in your fantasy football draft. . .since, again, the answer is pretty obvious. . .the operative question here is "Who's #2?" There is no shortage of options, but rather than break them down myself, I would rather let you folks discuss them, whether they're in the poll or not, and tell us who you would take.
The poll is right down there, and I think I've put most of the viable options on there. As always, if somebody has been left off, make sure to mention them. Enjoy!

Johnson
He will get a shit ton of carries this year due to Lockjaw being their QB.
The road to fulfillment in any line of endeavor is always marked by an initial breakthrough; however, that first taste of success needs to be replicated again and again in order for supremacy to be sustained. We are Vikings, and we shall rise again.

If he's even in the games
Might not be there until week 10.

My kneejerk response is Michael Vick
But there is no chance he doesn’t get injured at some point in the season. His average points per start is probably higher relative to his position more than any other player in the league – unless Antonio Gates from 2006 was available – but I don’t think he can start all 16 games.
I think that with MJD dropping off (I assume), and my expectation that Arian Foster will regress towards the mean, the only other solid RB option available is Chris Johnson, who might hold out. So for me, it’s a QB. I think I would decide between Rodgers, Manning, and Brady and my gut says that Brady will have the best football season out of the three, but that Rodgers will have a better fantasy season.
And that hurts.
Never draft a qb in the first 3-4 rounds
It just doesn’t pay off as the droppoff between the 1-12 QBs is a lot smaller than pretty much any other position.

Yeah
and let’s not forget those QBs that nobody picks that you can just sneak off waivers. Right after that Eagles-Packers game I did that with Vick and it payed off pretty good.
