Fantasy Football Brothers conducted their latest fantasy mock draft on Tuesday night. With the season flying up on us I’d thought I’d breakdown our latest F.F.B. Mock Draft, with Trends, Best Picks, and Suspect Picks. In the middle of the draft we have our draft board that breaks down each owners’ picks and the commentary resumes after.
This league being a half a Point Per Reception league so Wide Receivers taken early and often throughout the draft. Add in the fact that each team must start 3 Wide Receivers and 1 TE, led to this being a WR heavy draft, and teams sleeping on Tight Ends once the top 5 were all selected. Owners also had a tough time knowing which Running Back was getting what job, and how many carries, so far fewer Rbs were taken during the draft, and there were barely any fliers taken.
Here’s the League Scoring and Roster breakdown:
17 Rosters Spots No I.R. Start 1QB 2 RB 3WR 1TE 1K 1DEF
Rushing/Receiving 1point for every 10 yards 6Points for all Touchdown
Passing TD’s which are 5 Points and -2 for INT’s 1 point for every 25 yards passing
DEF & K are Standard Scoring
ROUND 1
1. Bill-RB Adrian Peterson
2. Sean-RB Maurice Jones-Drew
3. Rusty-RB Michael Turner
4. Kevin-RB Matt Forte
5. Casco-RB Steven Jackson
6. Paul-RB DeAngelo Williams
7. Brian-RB Chris Johnson
8. Eric-WR Larry Fitzgerald
9. Larry-WR Andre Johnson
10. Dave-RB LaDanianian Tomlinson
11. Rich-RB Frank Gore
12. Rob-QB Drew Brees
ROUND 1 TRENDS: 7 RBs, 2 WR’s at picks 8 and 9 with QB Drew Brees going at the end of the round
BESTPICK: LDT offers the most upside, and value at the 10 spot
SUSPECT PICK: A tough call in the first but RB Michael Turner going ahead of Forte in a .5 p.p.r.? I wouldn’t have blinked twice if Steven Jackson had gone ahead of Turner
ROUND 2
13. Rob-WR Calvin Johnson
14. Rich-RB Brandon Jacobs
15. Dave-RB Steve Slaton
16. Larry-RB Clinton Portis
17. Eric-QB Tom Brady
18. Brian-QB Peyton Manning
19. Paul-WR Randy Moss
20. Casco-RB Brian Westbrook
21. Kevin-WR Steve Smith
22. Rusty-WR Reggie Wayne
23. Sean-WR Greg Jennings
24. Bill- WR Roddy White
TRENDS: The Elite WR run begins in earnest with 6 more going in the second and 8 total, The top tier QB’s are also swept up.
BEST PICK: Brian Westbrook is a steal for Casco at the 20 spot in this league scoring format
SUSPECT PICK: Rusty selecting WR Reggie Wayne and passing over reception machine WR Roddy White, and even TD magnet WR Greg Jennings
ROUND 3
25. Bill- RB Marion BarberIII
26. Sean- RB Pierre Thomas
27. Rusty-RB Ryan Grant
28. Kevin- RB Kevin Smith
29. Casco- WR Anquan Boldin
30. Paul- RB Ronnie Brown
31. Brian-WR Marques Colston
32. Eric- WR Dwayne Bowe
33. Larry- RB Larry Johnson
34. Dave-WR Wes Welker
35. Rich- WR Terrel Owens
36. Rob- RB Thomas Jones
TRENDS: 7 RBs are swooped up all supposed to get the majority of carries, and goal line touches, 5 More WideOuts gone
BEST PICK: Larry grabbing Larry Johnson at 33, is a steal, I love L.J. I might be the only one in the Fantasy Industry that feels that way
SUSPECT PICK: Bill selecting MBIII at 25 would be great value here if the rest of the backs taken after him were gone, I would have taken any other back in this round over MBIII except RB Thomas Jones, I hate him this year
ROUND 4
37. Rob- RB Joseph Addai
38. Rich- WR Vincent Jackson
39. Dave- WR Brandon Marshall
40. Larry- QB Kurt Warner
41. Eric- RB Darren McFadden
42. Brian- RB Knowshon Moreno
43. Paul- WR T.J. Houshmanzadeh
44. Casco- QB Aaron Rodgers
45. Kevin- RB Derrick Ward
46. Rusty- QB Phillip Rivers
47. Sean- TE Jason Witten
48. Bill- QB Tony Romo
TRENDS: 4 RBs the first Rookie at 42, 3QBs 3 WR, and 1 TE, The Elite positions are now gone
BEST PICK: Larry grabbing QB Kurt Warner here at 40 in what is typically a QB heavy league
SUSPECT PICK: Witten at 47 would be great value here but having to start 3 WRs means that you have to have a lot of WR depth, and the WR position is pretty thin this year, TE is the deepest it has been in years, this team could have waited on a TE
ROUND 5
49. Bill- TE Tony Gonzalez
50. Sean- WR Chad Ochocinco
51. Rusty- WR Anthony Gonzalez
52. Kevin- QB Matt Ryan
53. Casco- WR Antonio Bryant
54. Paul- QB Donovan McNabb
55. Brian- WR Braylon Edwards
56. Eric- RB Willie Parker
57. Bill- WR Lee Evans
58. Dave- WR Roy Williams
59 Rich- RB Chris Wells
60. Rob- RB Marshawn Lynch
TRENDS: 5 WRs 3 RBs 2QBs 1 TE Owners are realizing that the WR position is thin 21 WRs off the board in 60 picks says it all
BEST PICK: Rob drafting RB Marshawn Lynch at 60 is great value here, Lynch is suspended for 3 games, but is an elite RB and will be well worth the wait
SUSPECT PICK: I’ll take Wells’ upside or Lynch’s suspension over RB Willie Parker’s likely season ending injury here at 56 anytime
ROUND 6
61. Rob- TE Dallas Clark
62. Rich- QB Matt Schaub
63. Dave- TE Antonio Gates
64. Larry- RB Jonathan Stewart
65. Eric- WR DeSean Jackson
66. Brian- RB LenDale White
67. Paul- RB Cedric Benson
68. Casco- WR Santana Moss
69. Kevin- WR Eddie Royal
70. Rusty- RB Ray Rice
71. Sean- RB Reggie Bush
72. Bill- RB Jamal Lewis
TRENDS:6 RBs 3WRs @ QBs 2 TEs There is still some decent talent available
BEST PICK: Rusty grabbing RB Ray Rice at 70 is a steal, I’m not sold on Rice yet, but I recognize a huge discount when I see one
SUSPECT PICK: Paul selecting Benson at 67 over other RBs Rice, Bush, and Lewis is suspect in my book
ROUND 7
73. Bill- WR Torry Holt
74. Sean- QB Carson Palmer
75. Rusty- WR Kevin Walter
76. Kevin- WR Santonio Holmes
77. Casco- RB Darren Sproles
78. Paul- WR Bernard Berrian
79. Brian- RB Felix Jones
80. Eric- RB Julius Jones
81. Bill- WR Donald Driver
82. Dave- RB Donald Brown
83. Rich- WR Hines Ward
84. Rob- WR Laveranues Coles
TRENDS: 7 WRs 4 RBs 1QB Teams continue to grab WR with reckless abandon
BEST PICK: Eric grabbing Julius Jones at 80 is a solid pick, we don’t know much but we know Seattle will try and run the ball who better than JJ?
SUSPECT PICK: I know Sean needs a QB but with the majority of teams having already drafted one why not wait a round or three?
ROUND 8
85. Rob- WR Devin Hester
86. Rich- TE Owen Daniels
87. Dave- QB Jay Cutler
88. Bill- RB Willie McGahee
89. Eric- RB Ahmad Bradshaw
90. Brian- RB LeSean McCoy
91. Paul- TE Chris Cooley
92. Casco- WR Donnie Avery
93. Kevin- WR Derrick Mason
94. Rusty- RB Fred Jackson
95. Sean- QB Matt Cassel
96. Bill- RB Leon Washington
TRENDS: 5 RBs 3 WRs 2 TEs 2 QBs The back up RB run has begun still some talent at WR but all have questions that need to be answered.
BEST PICK: Paul grabbing TE Chris Cooley at 91 is great value, Cooley has become undervalued because he had only 1 TD last year there is no way that happens again
SUSPECT PICK: There are a ton here, Cassel at 95 but the winner is Rob taking a flier here with WR Devin Hester with the 85th pick when Hester would probably have been available at 108

ROUND 9
97. Bill- RB Chester Taylor
98. Sean- WR Jerrico Cotchery
99. Rusty- TE Greg Olsen
100. Kevin- RB Fred Taylor
101. Casco- TE Kellen Winslow
102. Paul- RB Rashard Mendenhall
103. Brian- WR Steve Breaston
104. Eric- RB Shonn Greene
105. Larry- WR Chris Chambers
106. Dave- QB Ben Rothlisberger
107. Rich- RB Tim Hightower
108. Rob- WR Ted Ginn
TRENDS: 5RBs 4 WRs 2 TEs 1 QB
BEST PICK: Brian grabbing WR Steve Breaston here is decent value, Breaston plays in a pass heavy offense and will get plenty of oppotunities
SUSPECT PICK: Dave grabbing Big Ben here is poor value, Pittsburgh is always going to run the ball, there are much better QBs available
ROUND 10
109. Rob- RB Ernest Graham
110. Rich- QB Matt Hasselbeck
111. Dave- WR Lance Moore
112. Larry- RB Justin Fargas
113. Eric- WR Percy Harvin
114. Brian- WR Nate Burleson
115. Paul- RB Ricky Williams
116. Casco- RB Jerrious Norwood
117. Kevin- RB Sammy Morris
118. Rusty- WR Jeremy Maclin
119. Sean- WR Nate Washington
120. Bill- WR Patrick Crayton
TRENDS: 6WRs 5 RBs 1 QB Its suprising how many WRs continue to get swallowed up when RBs offer more value at this point
BEST PICK: The room oohed and aahed when QB Matt Hasselbeck went at 110, the former BC star is the worst kept sleeper secret this year
SUSPECT PICK: How do you grab WR Nate Washington at 119 when WR Justin Gage is still there? Right team wrong player
ROUND 11
121. Bill- WR Kevin Curtis
122. Sean- RB T.J. Duckett
123. Rusty- WR Justin Gage
124. Kevin- TE Zack Miller
125. Casco- QB David Garrard
126. Paul- WR Domenik Hixon
127. Brian- TE Dustin Keller
128. Eric- WR Hakeem Nicks
129. Larry- TE John Carlson
130. Dave- RB Jamaal Charles
131. Rich- WR Chris Henry
132. Rob- QB Trent Edwards
TRENDS: 5 WRs 3TEs 2 QBs 2 RBs WR Fliers are going everywhere, and two great valued QBs get sucked up
BEST PICK: Though I love TE Dustin Keller here at 127 and WR Chris Henry at 131… Sean makes up for his Nate Washington brain fart and grabs RB T.J. Duckett at 122, Getting Duckett here is straight up theft
SUSPECT PICK: Eric grabbing Nicks at 128 resulted in more than a few huhs?
ROUND 12
133. Rob- WR Bobby Engram
134. Rich- RB Glenn Coffee
135. Dave- RB Chris Brown
136. Larry- GIANTS DEF
137. Eric- TE Brent Celek
138. Brian- RB Correl Buckhalter
139. Paul- PITTSBURGH DEF
140. Casco- RB Laurence Maroney
141. Kevin- RB LeRon McClain
142. Rusty- TE Visanthe Shiancoe
143. Sean WR Joshua Cribbs
144. Bill- RB Michael Bush
TRENDS: 6 RBs 2 TES 2 WRs 2 DEF The first DEF’s fly off the board illiciting a few reallys? Both owners said the same thing VALUE
BEST PICK: F.F.B.’s all time favorite MR. Super Sleeper himself TE Brent Celek going to Eric at 137
SUSPECT PICK: According to the majority of the room it was WR Bobby Engram going to Rob at 133, Rob responded that Engram is now in a spread attack and one year removed from a 94 Rec. 1147 yards 6 TDs season, then slammed his fist on the table and yelled GREAT VALUE!!!
ROUND 13
145. Bill- WR Darrious Heyward-Bey
146. Sean- WR Miles Austin
147. Rusty- RB Brandon Jackson
148. Kevin- QB Eli Manning
149. Casco- WR Earl Bennett
150. Paul- QB Chad Pennington
151. Brian- QB Brett Favre
152. Eric- WR Michael Jenkins
153. Larry- WR Sydney Rice
154. Dave- WR Micheal Crabtree
155. Rich- WR Mike Walker
156. Rob- RB James Davis
TRENDS: 7 WRs 3 Qbs 2 RBs Didn’t take long for Favre to get swallowed up
BEST PICK: I like Rich grabbing WR Mike Walker here, though Larry grabbing WR Sydney Rice at 153 looks too have some decent value as well
SUSPECT PICK: Bill gabbing Heyward-Bey got more than a few BUST comments? One owner said Zero QB plus a WR that can’t run routes equals disaster
ROUND 14
157. Rob- QB Michael Vick
158. Rich- MINNESOTA DEF
159. Dave- WR Chaz Schillens
160. Larry-WR Josh Morgan
161. Eric- WR Deion Branch
162. Brian- WR Davone Bess
163. Paul- WR Issac Bruce
164. Casco- DALLAS DEF
165. Kevin- RB Bernard Scott
166. Rusty- RB Maurice Morris
167. Sean- RB Jerome Harrison
168. Bill- RB Danny Ware
TRENDS: 5 WRs 4 Rbs 2 DEF 1 QB and the QB being Vick really means one giant question mark
BEST PICK: Sean having RB Jerome Harrison available at 167 is excellent value here, Jamal Lewis looks like he is on his way down
SUSPECT PICK: Are there really any suspect picks in the 14th round? but if forced to choose it would WR Deion Branch at 161
ROUND 15
169. Bill- BALTIMORE DEF
170. Sean- TENNESSEE DEF
171. Rusty- CHICAGO DEF
172. Kevin- K Stephen Gostkowski
173. Casco- RB Antonio Pittman
174. Paul- RB Brian Leonard
175. Brian- SAN DIEGO DEF
176. Eric- MIAMI DEF
177. Larry- QB Kyle Orton
178. Dave- PHILADELPHIA DEF
179. Rich- WR Mark Clayton(Balt)
180. Rob- NY JETS DEF
TRENDS: 7 DEF 2 Rbs 1 QB 1 K 1 WR
BEST PICK: Larry backing up his old QB with QB Kyle Orton is great value. Orton could suprise this year in a pass happy attack
SUSPECT PICK: Casco grabbing Pittman isn’t bad value here, its just that Steven Jackson’s real backup is still available in RB Darby
ROUND 16
181. Rob- K David Akers
182. Rich- K Rob Bironas
183. Dave- K Jason Elam
184. Larry- K Nate Kaeding
185. Eric- K Robbie Gould
186. Brian- K Mason Crosby
187. Paul- K Nick Folk
188. Casco- K Adam Vinateri
189. Kevin- NEW ENGLAND DEF
190. Rusty- K Ryan Longwell
191. Sean- K Neil Rackers
192. Bill- K Lawrence Tynes
TRENDS: 11 K 1 DEF Almost everyone drafted a Kicker last
