Watch the QB panic in your draft! The earlier Brady goes the earlier Big Brother gets drafted as well as Romo, Brees and CP.

Brady getting picked between 5 and 8. Manning going late 1st, early 2nd; Romo going mid to late 2nd and both Brees and Palmer gone by the middle of the 3rd.

[/QUOTE]IF THAT SCENARIO HOLDS UP FOR MOST DRAFTS THEN IN THE BIG SCOPE OF THINGS IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL AS LONG AS YOU CAN PICK THE RIGHT Q.B. WHO CAN BE IN WITHIN A GOOD RANGE OF THE OTHERS.

IN MY OPINION PALMER AND BREES ARE NO MORE OF A SURE THING THAN BIG BEN, A "HEALTHY" MCNABB AND DEREK ANDERSON.

IT WILL BE REAL INTERESTING THATS FOR SURE.

Question Of The Week, Week 1:

With top running backs and wide receivers still being the focus of fantasy players in the early rounds, can NFFC owners really win league titles in 2008 by drafting Tom Brady in the Top 10 this year? Can a team be strong enough at RB and WR if it selects a QB in the first round in the NFFC or NBC Sports FFC? Provide reasons why you think teams can win NFFC titles with Brady as an early pick or why you don't think teams can win with Brady. Thanks.

Yes you can win NFFC league Championships with drafting Tom Brady in the top 10 . No drafts are ever won or lost in the First round. The Quarterback position is really thin and unreliable this year and most years. Tom Brady Is the best Quarterback in fantasy football and Brady Is a iron man, The guy never gets hurt. Which also makes his DC value worth even more. Jump On Brady from picks 7-14, Why take the Running back who is more injury prone and might not give you a lot of games played. Everyone in the NFL can get hurt, But I would play the odds and say Brady is going to give you a solid 16 games.

The running back position is loaded, NFL teams are starting to figure that out now. You need a two back system with the NFL defenses these days. I have 45-50 NFL Running backs that I would feel comfortable with as my RB1 and RB2. Make sure you get at least 3 of the Top 50 Running backs on your NFFC roster if you plan on going with Brady in the top 10. There Is a lot of solid Running Backs with high upside even if you take Brady in the First and a WR in the second. There are quality Running Backs all the way up till the 8th round. (R5 Rudi Johnson, Lendale White and Fred Taylor) (R8 Deuce McAllister)

I would take the sure thing in the first round with Brady and start the quarterback run, I wouldn't want to be on the other side and miss out on one of the top 7 Quarterbacks. Let someone else in your league try to figure out who the top 14-20 Running backs will be by seasons end. Ill take the best Fantasy quarterback on the best offense in NFL Football.

I've never considered taking a first round QB until this thread. I gave it a go on MDC and took Brady 7th in a NFFC draft. Here's what I ended up with:

1. Brady
2. Braylon Edwards
3. Brandon Marshall
4. Thomas Jones
5. Selvin Young
6. Jonathon Stewart
7. Bobby Engram
8. Bernard Berrian
9. Isaac Bruce
10. Owen Daniels

I know it's just a mock but this thread has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of taking a QB early. I have never done that before.
