Fantasy Football Mock Draft 2.0

With the fantasy draft a mere 5 days away, I felt a second Mock draft was warranted 

1.       Kevin

The Pick: Adrian Peterson

With the first overall pick in the draft, Kevin takes Peterson.  He’s the best and most consistent runningback in the game. Cross his name off of your board in Permanent Marker folks. It’s in the bag.

2.       Feifer
The Pick: Arian Foster
Don’t listen to the fake news reports that Feifer has been releasing about being in contact with Jamaal Charles’ agents about signing a contract. It’s all a bunch of smoke and mirrors. I spoke to Jamaal’s agent, and he said he has, and never will speak with someone who lives in New Jersey. Feifer will be taking Arian Foster with the second pick in the draft. The kid is almost easier to predict than a Nick Folk shank.
3.       Jimmy

The Pick: Ray Rice

Well Hell has officially frozen over. Jimmy will not be selecting Peyton Manning in the first round of this year’s draft. This is like Al Davis taking Andrew Luck with the #1 selection in next year’s draft instead of the Wide Receiver from some Sun Belt school who ran a 4.32 40 yard dash. It’s simply stunning. The guy rides Manning for years all the way to a Championship and then kicks him to the curb the second the guy needs surgery to repair his neck that Jimmy most likely injured. Despicable. Jimmy takes Ravens centerpiece Ray Rice, that’s a fact. The real question is who is going to take Peyton in the second round and hold him ransom. Hmmmm.

4.       Powers
The Pick: Jamaal Charles
Mike is now faced with an interesting conundrum. Does he select Michael Vick, the most electrifying quarterback in the NFL, Jamaal Charles, the home run threat who only gets 15-20 touches a game, or Chris Johnson, who currently doesn’t have a contract but will still be the fastest runningback on the planet when he eventually realizes that he spent all his money on Ramen Noodles and needs more.  Mike wants Vick, but I think his hatred of the Eagles and durability fears steer Mike to Charles.
5.       Nick
The Pick: Chris Johnson
I know he’s going to sign, CJ knows he’s going to sign, and Nick knows he’s going to sign. Nick gets a gift at #5. A really gangsta gift.
6.       Terrono

The Pick: Philip Rivers

I predicted in the first mock draft that Matt was going to take Rivers and thanks to our fantasy Commissioner Kevin “Death Throat” Zorovich, it has been confirmed. Kevin, beware of this team when you play Matty because Snitches get Stitches.      

7.       Chris

The Pick: LeSean McCoy
I still think this is the guy that I am going to take in the draft. He makes catches, scores TDs, and plays in an explosive offense. I really don’t care that the Eagles look shitty in preseason because the Colts have lost more preseason games than they have regular season games since 2005. These games mean nothing. I also don’t care that Ronnie Brown is on the Eagles now. Shady is the feature back and he’s going to get his touches and his touchdowns.

8.       Timmy
The Pick: Michael Vick
Welcome to the league, here is your house warming gift. Vick undoubtedly will lead Timmy to a couple of wins, but he better pray that he doesn’t get hurt. I personally think Vick will be fine, so this could be a steal at #8. Now go throw the ball to McCoy.
9.       Buckley
The Pick: Aaron Rodgers
I think John takes the #1 ranked quarterback this year. Rodgers is coming off of an unbelievable statistical season and a Super Bowl win. The lock out did very little to change the offense of the Packers and that means more of the same from Rodgers this year. This guy is a TD machine and doesn’t throw many Interceptions. That’s all you can ask out of your Fantasy study QB.
10.   Joey
The Pick: Maurice Jones-Drew
This is Joey’s first fantasy season after Florida State, so he could be an unexpected force this year. Fantasy Football will now be Joey’s #1 concern on Sundays in the fall because he no longer is thinking about who he’s going to party with, where he’s going to do it, and what chick is he going to take a run at. All of those questions are answered for him. He’ll be with us, at McCann’s, trying to woo AJ. He’s going to be on his game and he’s going to have a stud runningback in MJD.
11.   Hurst
The Pick: Andre Johnson
I had a hard time pegging someone to fill this spot for Hurst, but ultimately I went with Andre Johnson. I feel like Hurst would lean towards an RB, but he’ll probably have only 1 more RB off the board after the turn, so might as well go out and get the best player available, and that is Andre Johnson. Expect a return to his 2009 numbers this season after a small drop off last year with the emergence of Arian Foster.
12.   Lukas
The Picks: Rashard Mendenhall/Roddy White
The turn is a crucial point in the draft. You won’t have another pick for 23 turns, so it’s important to not make a mistake. I think Lukas takes the best available runningback and wide receiver to ensure that he has at least one top tiered player at each position because every other player most likely will have at least 1 RB and 1 WR by the time he picks again. I think those players are Mendenhall and White. Lukas also might take the Jets Defense. Who knows.
