Anyone courageous enough to try their fantasy football league draft on an iPad? Seems pretty risky to me. Maybe at least have your laptop next to you just in case! [FantasyFootballCalculator - Mock Draft on your iPad]

Five minute mock-draft
Brandon
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.

Mock draft v1.0
Brandon
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, OAKAfter 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
Matt
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 3rd or 4th round, take a risk that Lewis will be there in the 2nd or 3rd 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.
