  Five minute mock-draft

  Tags: mock draft

  With draft day approaching for many fantasy football leagues out there, I figured it’d be somewhat helpful to give a glimpse of how the beginning of your draft might go down. I quickly ran through the first four rounds of a simple 12 team, snake-style mock draft to get an idea of which players will be gone by which round. Hopefully this will prevent you from being caught completely off guard when your draft begins and will help you see the different teams you can end up with based on your draft strategy.

  

  Note: You could make the case for a couple of the top wide receivers going towards the end of the first round, but because it’s a snake-style draft, they’d get drafted in the beginning of the second round (to the same teams) anyways.

  Please feel free to comment with your thoughts on which team looks the best (and worst) to you.

  Over the past week or so, I have been participating in an eight team mock draft over e-mail, hosted by http://www.WestCoastNonsense.com. The teams were made up of people from different fantasy football blogs, including FFLibrarian.com, FantasyFootballBlog.net, TheFantasyFootballReport.com, WestCoastNonsense.com, and PortlandSportsman.blogspot.com. The draft followed the standard serpentine format, with the basic scoring system being 6 points for RB/WR score and 4 points for a QB score. Below you can see the final team that we ended up with:

  QB: Matt Hasselbeck, SEA
  RB: Joseph Addai, IND
  RB: Clinton Portis, WAS
  WR: Larry Fitzgerald, ARI
  WR: Roy Williams, DET
  RB/WR: Reggie Bush, NO
  TE: Antonio Gates, SD
  DEF: Pittsburgh
  Bench: Dwayne Bowe, WR, KC
  Bench: Edgerrin James, RB, ARI
  Bench: Deion Branch, WR, SEA
  Bench: Javon Walker, WR, OAK

  After the jump you can see the round-by-round results, as well as our commentary on the individual picks…

  Yet another ridiculous Jamal Lewis pick in a mock draft

  Is the Jamal-Lewis-in-the-first-round thing going to be a pattern in fantasy drafts this year? A month ago, I noticed with some horror that he’d gone tenth overall in Yahoo’s “expert” mock draft. Now here he is going SIXTH in The Hazean’s May mock draft. Haze’s advice to anyone considering a similarly outrageous pick:

  Finding a site that lists Average Draft Positions can be useful. Even if you are the biggest Lewis believer and think he might put up top 5 RB numbers, if the ADP suggests him being drafted in the 3^rd or 4^th round, take a risk that Lewis will be there in the 2^nd or 3^rd round and draft Westbrook here and Lewis a round or two later. I actually like Ryan Grant better than Lewis.

  Good point. If you want to make the argument that Lewis is going to put up first-round numbers, that’s fine – but that doesn’t mean you have to waste a first-round pick on him. He’ll almost definitely be there for you in the second. If he isn’t, well, that’s one fewer 29-year-old RB on your roster.
