Mock draft roundup

It's still ridiculously early, but there are already a few published mock drafts for next year's fantasy football season out there...

NFL.com: I find quite a few nits to pick with this one. One could certainly argue for Tom Brady as the top overall pick, but despite the terrible year for tailbacks that 2007 was, I'm still taking Tomlinson with the top pick. They've got A-Pete 2nd, and while he's plenty tempting, I'll take the sturdy LT over a guy as injury-prone as Peterson any day. Ronnie Brown (12) goes too late; I'd grab him mid-1st-round for sure. Same with Joseph Addai (8) - what in the world did he do this season that would make him anything but a top-5 pick?

The Hazean's mock first round: Now this is more like it. Every pick makes sense to me. The only things I'd change would be to bump Addai (3) above Peterson (2), and to drop Peyton (8) down to 10 or so, which would slide Gore and Lynch up. To be honest, I really wouldn't draft him in the first round at all this year. I truly believe he and Harrison had something special, and since Harrison doesn't seem likely to ever be the threat he once was, I think Peyton's numbers, while they'll continue to be pretty great, won't ever reach those astronomical 2004 levels again.

Fantasy Fanatics: Ugh, Brady goes #1 again. Great mock draft, though; I like the detailed discussion of each pick, which impressively continues all the way through the later rounds (speaking of which, I'll be a nice blogger guy and even provide links to rounds 4-6, 7-9, and 10-11. You're welcome.

5 Minute Drill: Whoa, a video. Spiffy. Good discussion, but Westbrook at #2?

FantasyFootball.com: A-Pete goes first, Marion Barber (6) and Ryan Grant (7) get surprising amounts of love, and Tom Brady doesn't even make the first round. Interesting.

That's all I could dig up. I'll post more as I find 'em. If you've run a mock draft and want it posted here, let us know.

Good review of the mock drafts done so far. I hadn't seen some of those yet.

Not exactly an expert mock draft, but I've got early average draft position data on FantasyFootballCalculator.com. There's been a few hundred drafts so far, but none of them are actually full yet. Something to kick around for the moment though.
