Ended up going with Hightower. Slaton has a lot of upside, but he's got a crowded backfield, and I think Tate could end up being the man down there (although I think Foster is #1 on the depth chart now, and getting a lot of praise). Plus I did not like the quick hook Slaton was given last year when he started putting the ball on the ground.
I really could have used a WR, but for the talent that is available, I don't think there is much drop off between now and my next pick. I would be surprised if Hightower was still there, but these WR's most likely will be there still. Plus, everyone assumes Wells is the starter in AZ, but that's not so. I hear Tim is running with the first team more than Wells, and getting all the goal line first team reps. Hightower very well could put up better numbers than wells in a PPR league. At the worst, he is a good bye week fill in as he will get work every week, and if Wells gets hurt, he could be big.
