And the rest of his (Johnson) schedule looks favourable.

The ideal pick next year in redraft is #3. So you can take whichever of Johnson, Peterson or Jones-Drew falls, and have a better 2nd round pick than the owners of the other two.

I disagree. Johnson is now the clear number 1 and Peterson might not even be 3rd at this point as Rice has been just as good. 2 picks higher in round 1 has more value than in round 2.

I do agree with Erik that being as low as #4 is a no-lose situation (at least as of now). If SJax or Gore were on better offenses and scoring more TDs, maybe they'd be in the mix for as a top 4 selection.

They stripped down to the foundation. The team that started the season was not yet ready to compete with any but the worst teams. The progress, as in any such situation, has been sporatic, and I am aware they beat the Steelers on the back of 190 return yards, in just two plays. Pittsburgh would beat them 9 times out of 10. For that matter, San Diego will give them lumps ths week, but they are also a Super Bowl contender.

Still, there has been enough progress that I think they play Denver on even, or close to even, terms. Also the game is in KC, where Denver has always had trouble winning.

Those who pick Ray Rice at #4 or whatever probably won't be complaining either. Especially if McGahee is gone.

Except that these things don't stay static. This year's "clear number 1" is next year's #3, or even next year's bust. Happens all the time.

no arguement there. As of now though, AP is not the #1 pick at least in my eyes.
