No. 1 next year

I got one email, and I'm sure there will be more, about my statement that Adrian Peterson will likely be the first overall pick in most fantasy drafts next season. This individual, who didn't disclose the fact that he was a Pats fan, but made it quite obvious, suggested Tom Brady or Randy Moss will be the first overall pick in most drafts.

I'm standing by Peterson. Anyone who averages more than six yards per carry in their rookie season and in an otherwise below average offense, has to be picked No. 1. Period. I don't know who the Vikings will add in the offseason and through the draft, but if they can move Sidney Rice over to the No. 2 spot and put a top WR opposite him, Peterson will have even more room to run. That's a scary, scary thought.
