In less than 24-hours I'll be participating in my first fantasy football draft and I've done zero-minutes of preparation. Also worth noting, as luck would have it I ended up with the #1 overall draft pick.
So, with no research and no experience and the #1 pick, my question is, who do I draft?
Please leave your thoughts in the comments section.
UPDATE: Just found the scoring system for our league. I'm not sure if this setup is QB friendly or RB friendly. Thoughts?

you're lucky man, when I played fantasy football, it took over my life and I must have spend 20 hours preparing for each draft...
Rotoworld is by far the best site for fantasy news and opinion.
Also checkout some of the metric-heavy sites like football outsiders.
The 1st pick should be Chris Johnson.
Carson Palmer. Then get a good kicker in round 2
I had the 3rd overall pick in my league. First time I did a live draft myself. I believe the RB from Houston when 1st overall. I took Vick w/ my first pick.
It seemed like most people took a QB w/ their first pick, then a RB.
I'm taking the year off from fantasy football, but if I were drafting, I'd be aiming for Jamaal Charles in every league.
it seems like it's a qb league... so i would go QB 1st. Either Brees or Brady or Rivers. Peyton is hurt.
If you want to go rb 1st, then Arian Foster, Chris Johnson would be good picks. Jamaal Charles won't get as many carries as he got last year.
Have fun.
First pick, you want a sure thing, go with Adrian Peterson. Unless you feel really strongly about the other names mentioned, I would go with him first. It looks like a point per reception league, so try to find running backs with receiving capability also, this is an awesome bonus to have. So maybe Arian Foster would be better.....
