Alexander. He's the safest pick of the three.
Tomlinson now has, for all intents, a rookie QB in front of him. He may run more, but into stacked defenses waiting for him.
Johnson lost two of his offensive linemen. The Chiefs' OL was the best in the NFL during the Priest Holmes days, but now is regressing back to the average due to age and lost personnel. Holmes and Johnson's numbers were a product of the O-line, more so than their own abilities. They're not going to keep Tony Gonzalez back to run-block because he wants to re-establish himself as the best pass-catching TE.
Alexander has everything going for him and the other two have supporting cast issues. It's Alexander all the way.

I'm in the same boat. I was set on Johnson until Roaf retired, and now I'm kind of wavering between him and Alexander, although he also lost a stud lineman in Hutchison. But there's talk Roaf will come back - if he does, I'll definitely take Johnson. And, really, you can't go wrong with either guy. I'll probably end up going with Johnson anyway because he has more upside and I really need a monster year from my #1 RB since I won't have a shot at #2 until pick 24. I only rule out Tomlinson because he's been getting a little banged up the past couple of years; nothing serious yet, but could it be a sign of vulnerability?

Alexander and LaDamian Tomlinson are personal favorites, however, LJ is going to bring you more points this year.
LaDamian Tomlinson lost his QB and Alexander will not reproduce his historic numbers from last year and he's lost Hutch.
No matter what, you've got 3 solid picks and cannot go wrong.

I would go with LJ. I know Roaf retired, but the KC O-line is still solid. Tomlinson gets to worn down by the end of the year so his stats suffer when you need them the most. Alexander lost his best OL. He is also on the cover of the new Madden game and every player that is ever on the cover has a bad year or gets hurt. LJ is the only real choice!

alexander. he has the best qb, the best o-line, and the best receiving group. defenses can't focus on him as much as they can on tomlinson, who just has gates to occupy the defense, or johnson, who just has gonzalez. also, johnson isn't as proven a commodity as alexander or tomlinson. Tomlinson is the best receiver, but alexander is a TD machine, and his blocking is overall much better. and you don't really draft an rb just because he's a good receiver if there is a better runner on the board

that's tough.. alexander is the safe pick.. he's going to get you TD's out of the gate
no better RB than tomlinson.. plus he's the better receiver out of all 3 like the others said.. he even threw for TD's on trick plays.. cmon now
everyone is hypin' up LJ though.. it could be his year.. it's really a toss up
if it was me? i'd go with the safe pick (alexander)
