If you are anything like me, you are starving for any football discussion that doesn’t include Brett Favre (please make it stop!). So, I figured I would give you an update on a little mock draft that some very football savvy bloggers and I have been participating in over the last week or so.
So far, not many surprises but round two is a pick away and there are usually a few head turners to be had. Check it out.
Oh, and before I forget, make sure you stop by each of these blogs and add them to your reader (or sign up for email updates). That way you will never, ever miss even a morsel of fantasy football information from now until you are counting your first place cash.
Here ya go;
I was all over Marshawn Lynch until Matt and Brandon over at FFGeeksBlog wisely picked him just before me (props to them) which led me to taking Larry Johnson.
I’m not crazy about taking him considering the laundry list of question marks surrounding his supporting staff; the line, the QB and experience in general. But he’s the best player on his team (equaling touches), an every down back (rare these days) and has a schedule filled with “projected” weak run d’s.
Add to that the fact that you gotta think he’ll be playing with a chip on his shoulder after a dismal 2007. I’ll take my chances.

2Corey, Good Analysis. I went with the obvious choice of Brady at #6 overall. With this mock draft rewarding 6 points for passing touchdowns, you can’t go against the potential of Brady throwing 40+ touchdowns for the 2nd straight season.
If I am in your shoes at #11, I also take the gamble on Larry Johnson. He should see the touches to warrant his ADP.
Also, the link for Bruno Boys Fantasy Football is wrong, it should be http://www.brunoboys.net.
Keep up the great work,
Marc

3Thanks for stopping Marc,
Damn, sorry about the link. I agree with your Brady pick as well, it won’t be easier for him but he should be able to pull it off…they will be on a mission again this year.

4I would have to disagree with the Brady pick much too high. Especially with more teams using Running Back by Committee

5Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for stopping and chatiting. One thing that I failed to mention is the fact that this draft is based on a scoring system which uses 6 points per TD pass.
Hopefully that makes more sense for you.
Thanks again,
Corey
