Who to draft: Gio Bernard or Doug Martin

I keep running into this question in mocks. I know what the NF numbers have to say on the matter, but I'm looking for more opinions/arguments, because I really don't know. Gotta love Gio's ability to catch out of the backfield, but Martin is looking good and I think the Mankins trade helps bolster him.

Things I'm not considering?

Think about how Lovie Smith used Forte in CHI and consider that Martin showed good hands as a RB his rookie year. Then consider that Gio has averaged under 3 yards a carry in the preseason when running with the 1's.....I'd go with Martin. If it's PPR it's closer, but if it's a standard league, Martin.

I like both of these guys. Jeremy Hill's presence scares me a little with Gio but even with mankind the Tampa O-line is terrible. I would probably lean towards Gio but if Doug had a better season it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
