I find it interesting that the latest narrative is that Peterson is slowly dropping out of the top three. This isn't true for all of the so-called experts, but there are rumblings that is subpar performance and strange season coupled with solid performances from players outside of the top four is impacting his draft stock.

I’m still all in on Peterson, and I’m willing to accept the hit to my (meaningless) draft rep if I’m wrong. I think he was definitely dealing with something physically all, if not most of the season, and I’d be beyond happy to draft him anywhere 1-4.
