Big Question Marks

In my opinion there is a clear cut top 5.  After the top 5 there are many questions.  One of the biggest questions most are asking is "Do I take Chris Johnson or Darren McFadden?"  The answer to this question is all about personal preference.  If you look at per-game production McFadden is your man, however, McFadden is expected to play in fewer than 10 games.  Johnson on the other hand had a rough season from a production standpoint last year.  He does appear poised to have a good season and is likely to play more games than McFadden.  My choice is Johnson, but not by much.

Dez Bryant and Hakeem Nicks are both being taken around the same area in drafts.  Dez Bryant the younger higher upside player and Nicks the more established veteran.  Bryant looks poised for a breakout season.  It's difficult not to choose him.  Nicks is also a great talent, but has had a tendency to get injured.  I am slightly in the favor of Nicks.  I reserve the right to change my mind on draft day as I am a Dallas fan.

Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker both are in new situations with Peyton Manning at QB.  Here I think it purely depends on format of the league.  In a PPR Decker is the pick. In standard Thomas is the pick.  I think both will be lower end WR2 or higher end WR3 players.

Luck and RGIII were the 1st and 2nd picks in the NFL draft.  Both are set to start of as starters for their franchises.  To me it's a simple matter of weapons that puts Luck ahead of RGIII.  Most people think RGIII is a better runner.  He does have more speed, but most forget that Luck is a very good scrambler in his own right.
