Which player would you build around?

[Rios15]

If you were building a new team, which player in the NFL would you pick first in the draft to build around if you had the first pick in something like a fantasy draft? Based on leadership, skill, whatever.

 

[RipCity32]

If you could guarantee me he would never be injured, Adrian Peterson.

 

[Pugz]

Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald. Later on in the draft I'd take a QB named Matt Ryan.

 

[RipCity32]

You'd build a team around a WR?

 

[Pugz]

Only if I could get a QB like Matt Ryan. Besides after the WR I could take another RB not named Adrian Peterson..


I also like the long ball.

 

[Blake]

Peyton Manning, all day.

I don't think that a linebacker can build an entire defense, he may (may not) lead the team in tackles; but, MLB's are supposed to have high numbers in tackles.

 

[.GR]

Adrian Peterson. If I had to chose a defensive player it'd be TP43.

 

[Blake]

If were doing offense and defense;

Offense : Manning (the good one)
Defense : Reed

If we did this in players in the past ten years;

Offense : Still Manning
Defense : Warren Sapp

 

[Oiler35]

Well, I have a few...

Quarterback: Peyton Manning
Middle Linebacker: Patrick Willis

or...

Halfback: Adrian Peterson
Strong Safety: Bob Sanders OR Troy Polumalu

Troy > Bob

 

[Oiler35]

Troy > Bob

Bob Sanders> You, your kids, and your kid's kids.

I think the answer in this day and age has got to be Adrian Peterson. If you're starting a team all over, you're probably gonna go with a running back, and there isn't a better young back in the league. He has superstar written all over him and has all the tools necessary to be a key piece of a championship team. It'd be smart to start with AP and go from there IMO

 

[lonesomefx]

Well, defense wins championships... so I gotta say I'm building my team around, arguably the best player in the NFL today, Jared Allen ( =

 

[playmaker7]

Defensively I'd go with Patrick Willis because he's the meaning of the word "beast"

 

[Gtown81]

I'd build my team around an Offensive Line with Jake Long, Bryant McKinnie and Steve Hutchinson

If I were to build my team around a strong defense, I'd go with Julius Peppers and/or Mario Williams

 

[cruzg24]

If im building a team, I need a player that is intelligent and plays the most critical position in football. That is QB and Tom Brady.

 

[The Young One]

Im either going Peyton or Tom brady. Defensively give me Patrick Willis or Nnamdi Asomugha.

Yea I would go with a shutdown corner on defense. It basically takes away a whole side of the field for the offense. Nnamdi is the man.
