Ask DR U: Second Round or Bust

Jason asks, I am in a 12 man league, and I have the third overall pick.  I know that I am going to take Larry Johnson or Steven Jackson, but who do I take in the second round between the following: Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson, or Cedric Benson?

DR U: As much as I love Chad Johnson, I think you can wait until later in the draft and still land some productive receivers. Carson Palmer is a fantasy stud, so I have no problem with you taking Palmer in the second round.  I think the key is to get at least two running backs with your first three picks.  Therefore, you could go Larry Johnson, Palmer, and Julius Jones, or you could go Larry Johnson, Cedric Benson, and Reggie Wayne as your first three picks.  Good Luck!
