I have #8 pick in draft tonight. Do you think I have a chance at LT? If LT isnt at #8, would you draft Moss or a QB?

Forty,

Going to be tough to talk me out of not taking Moss if there arent any desirable RB's available.

Gotta figure is cinch for 12 TDs minimum. Also, was thinking of taking Brees or Brady at #8 or maybe Peyton in 2nd round.

Running backs are at a premium so grab a couple backs early.  Wide receivers are plentiful and good ones will still be available later.  As for taking a QB in the first round, I wouldn't recommend it.  I grabbed Matt Hasselbeck in the 5 round of one of my drafts.  He is a sleeper that can be a steal if you pass on QBs early.  Just my opinion...

LT should be there, even Chris Johnson may be there if someone takes Fitz before you.
If all three of those guys are gone, you'll be looking at Jackson, Gore, Moss, A.Johnson, C.Johnson....so yea, Moss is right up there.

How many people are in the draft? if there are 10 and it's a snake draft you will also have the 12th pick which means you can get a decent WR-RB combo and pick up a QB like Rivers or Romo in the 4th round.

Unless there are 20 people in the league, taking Hasselback in the 5th round is a huge reach

I think there is a huge drop off in talent at WR this year.  Get one early.  Maybe 2.  Look at the top WRs this year that will be going in rounds 1, 2, and 3: (In order)

Fitz, Moss, A. Johnson, C, Johnson, Jennings, Wayne, Smith, Colston, Boldin, White.

Now look at rounds 4, 5, and 6

Marshall, Owens, Bowe, Ochocinco, Welker, R Williams, Housh, Berrian, Walter, Ward, V and D Jackson,

Now look at the RBs left in the later rounds

R. Brown, R. Grant, W. Parker, R. Bush, K. Smith,  J. Addia, L. Johnson, D. McFadden, P. Thomas, M. Lynch,  

I would get Moss and try for Brady on the way back.  If Brady is gone, grab the next best available WR.  Now you can get a RB next or a QB like Rodgers, Rivers, Romo, or Warner.  Then get another RB.

I'm not trying to be a dick and call you out but Hasselbeck in the 5th?!  He went at the end of the 11th round in my 12 man draft.  I think you went a little early on him.  Hey, hope it works out for ya.

LT, Chris Johnson, or SJax will be there for sure and you will probably still be able to grab Moss, Fitz, or either Johnson in the 2nd.

Colston in the 1st??? He is like a 4th rounder TOPS.

I love Hasselback as a sleeper QB this year but in the 5th???  He went in the 11th in both of my drafts (could only get him in one).

I also got Warner in the 7th, Cutler in the 12th, Garrard in one of last rounds and guys like Shaub, Ryan, Palmer are also going 8th or later

I agree with Colston not being a 1st rounder
N.Orleans uses the slot alot which is L.Moore and when they go deep it is to Henderson Colston is a big target but with the way the ball is spread around he is at best a wr2 assuming he is healthy
I say let someone else draft him
