It's happened to all of us. You've been waiting for months to select that perfect RB to lead your team to fantasy glory: Adrian Peterson, Michael Turner, you can taste the victory! Then, the unthinkable happens. Moments before the draft, you check the draft order, and (to your horror) find your fantasy team name -- behind everyone else's. In a matter of seconds, everything changes. You must bid ado to AP, say goodbye to Michael Turner and sayonara to a slew of other top RBs.
After semi-recovering from your out-of-body experience, you get a hold of yourself and come up with an idea. Instead of plummeting down the RB list, you take a gander at the best (and all-available) QBs on your list. Since you're obviously following ESPN.com's projections, the top two QBs for 2009, Tom Brady and Drew Brees, pop into your draft queue. But for some reason you can't make a decision. Which one has more upside? Which one is the better first-round pick? ESPN.com fantasy expert Matthew Berry and Merril Hoge give you a solution.
