If you pick this Adrian Peterson with your #1 pick, I want to be in your league A fantasy mock draft is much like a child, as time passes external forces and pressures have an impact on that child?s development as well as that child?s fantasy value if such a league were to exists and I hope it does not. With the season just around the corner and many Fantasy Football drafts beginning, we are pleased to present our final Mock Draft 2.2. The suspensions are in and the starters have been named? for the most part. 12 Rounds (nobody cares about 13-16), 12 Teams, standard scoring (no PPR) and 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex (RB/WR), 1TE a DST and a Kicker. About your authors: Derek Johnson is not allowed to tell his two-championship Jerome Harrison story so I will just make a prediction: the son of the guy who played Huggy Bear will win help somebody a championship this season.. Nate Swansoneti is determined to win his first championship and to do this he will have to fight his uncontrollable bad trade addiction

Round 1
Pick	Team	Player
1	Derek	Peterson, Adrian (RB MIN)
2	Stephen	Johnson, Chris (RB TEN)
3	Pontos	Turner, Michael (RB ATL)
4	Paul	Jones-Drew, Maurice (RB JAC)
5	Nate	Gore, Frank (RB SF)
6	Vic	Rice, Ray (RB BAL)
7	Paul	Rodgers, Aaron (QB GB)
8	Nickoli	Johnson, Andre (WR HOU)
9	Craig	Manning, Peyton (QB IND)
10	Ed	Jackson, Steven (RB STL)
11	Todd	Moss, Randy (WR NE)
12	AD Greene	Brees, Drew (QB NO)

Analysis: The general consensus here is that once the top-6 running backs go, it is time to take an elite QB or WR. Jackson could push the top 6 to 7, problem is, he plays for a lousy team and was a no-show without warning in Week 16 last season due to a back injury, killing fantasy championship dreams. Pick of the Round: Round 1 is tough; I got to say Brees at the last pick and 3rd QB. Many have him as the best QB overall. What Was He Thinking?: Turner before MJD? It is possible I guess, Turner's weakness is his lack of receiving stats, MJD runs and catches and is the obvious #3.

Round 2
Pick	Team	Player
13	AD Greene	Williams, DeAngelo (RB CAR)
14	Todd	Mendenhall, Rashard (RB PIT)
15	Ed	Austin, Miles (WR DAL)
16	Craig	Benson, Cedric (RB CIN)
17	Nickoli	Greene, Shonn (RB NYJ)
18	Paul	Wayne, Reggie (WR IND)
19	Vic	Jackson, DeSean (WR PHI)
20	Nate	Grant, Ryan (RB GB)
21	Paul	White, Roddy (WR ATL)
22	Pontos	Fitzgerald, Larry (WR ARI)
23	Stephen	Marshall, Brandon (WR MIA)
24	Derek	Mathews, Ryan (RB SD)

Analysis: A fairly standard round, it was interesting to see Miles go above Wayne, White and Fitz. That said, Miles had a top 5 season in just 13 games, he is young and eager to prove. Pick of the Round: Top RB Ryan Grant at #20. Why? He has been consistent and underrated for a top-tier offense. I would love him as my #2 back and that is where Nate got him. What Was He Thinking?: Favorable analysis aside, Miles went a bit early at pick 15 over proven WR's like Marshall, White and Wayne. Ed is really high on the Dallas offense in 2010.

Round 3
Pick	Team	Player
25	Derek	Johnson, Calvin (WR DET)
26	Stephen	Brady, Tom (QB NE)
27	Pontos	Romo, Tony (QB DAL)
28	Paul	Colston, Marques (WR NO)
29	Nate	Schaub, Matt (QB HOU)
30	Vic	Thomas, Pierre (RB NO)
31	Paul	Jennings, Greg (WR GB)
32	Nickoli	McCoy, LeSean (RB PHI)
33	Craig	Charles, Jamaal (RB KC)
34	Ed	Wells, Beanie (RB ARI)
35	Todd	Moreno, Knowshon (RB DEN)
36	AD Greene	Smith, Steve (WR NYG)

Analysis: There are a lot of young Running Backs that went in Round 3, five to be exact. Pick of the Round: Noting really stands out here, pretty standard. What Was He Thinking?: McCoy at 32 overall seems a bit high considering no-name RB Leanord Weaver was the best back in the Eagles backfield last season.

Round 4
Pick	Team	Player
37	AD Greene	Addai, Joseph (RB IND)
38	Todd	Stewart, Jonathan (RB CAR)
39	Ed	Brown, Ronnie (RB MIA)
40	Craig	Rice, Sidney (WR MIN)
41	Nickoli	Welker, Wes (WR NE)
42	Paul	Boldin, Anquan (WR BAL)
43	Vic	Clark, Dallas (TE IND)
44	Nate	Smith, Steve (WR CAR)
45	Paul	Rivers, Philip (QB SD)
46	Pontos	Jones, Felix (RB DAL)
47	Stephen	Ochocinco, Chad (WR CIN)
48	Derek	Gates, Antonio (TE SD)

Analysis: Round 4 is chalked full of potential has-beens from Addai to Ochocinco sandwiched by Steve Smith and Anquan Boldin. Two of the NFL's best TE's go in 4 in Clark and Gates. Pick of the Round: I like Addai as a starting RB for a perennially good offense in Round 3, to get him in 4 is even better. What Was He Thinking?: Felix Jones may have all the potential in the world. But.. He can't avoid injury and shares the backfield with two other solid Running Backs. Round 4, no way.

Round 5
Pick	Team	Player
49	Derek	Best, Jahvid (RB DET)
50	Stephen	Davis, Vernon (TE SF)
51	Pontos	Bush, Reggie (RB NO)
52	Paul	Witten, Jason (TE DAL)
53	Nate	Bowe, Dwayne (WR KC)
54	Vic	Kolb, Kevin (QB PHI)
55	Paul	Finley, Jermichael (TE GB)
56	Nickoli	Flacco, Joe (QB BAL)
57	Craig	Barber, Marion (RB DAL)
58	Ed	Celek, Brent (TE PHI)
59	Todd	Crabtree, Michael (WR SF)
60	AD Greene	Ward, Hines (WR PIT)

Analysis: The third tier of QB comes off the board with potential superstars in Flacco and Kolb. 2nd year WR Crabtree continues to rise as does TE Finley. Pick of the Round: Honestly, not a lot of value in Round 5 as far as I can see. What Was He Thinking?: Reggie Bush? Pontos wins another round with his pick of the #2 back in New Orleans. Lest we forget the Saints are a passing team.

Round 6
Pick	Team	Player
61	AD Greene	Williams, Cadillac (RB TB)
62	Todd	Cutler, Jay (QB CHI)
63	Ed	Forte, Matt (RB CHI)
64	Craig	Driver, Donald (WR GB)
65	Nickoli	Daniels, Owen (TE HOU)
66	Paul	Bradshaw, Ahmad (RB NYG)
67	Vic	Garcon, Pierre (WR IND)
68	Nate	Portis, Clinton (RB WAS)
69	Paul	Bush, Michael (RB OAK)
70	Pontos	Jones, Thomas (RB KC)
71	Stephen	Favre, Brett (QB MIN)
72	Derek	Palmer, Carson (QB CIN)

Analysis: It seems the Rounds 6-8 are full players with a tremendous upside. Favre, Forte, Williams could all finish in the top-5 of their respective positions. Okay, maybe not Cadillac. Pick of the Round: Forte, this guy is too good to go so low. What Was He Thinking?: This was a good round and I don't see a pick that stands out as awful.

Round 7
Pick	Team	Player
73	Derek	Nicks, Hakeem (WR NYG)
74	Stephen	Spiller, C.J. (RB BUF)
75	Pontos	Sims-Walker, Mike (WR JAC)
76	Paul	Forsett, Justin (RB SEA)
77	Nate	Gonzalez, Tony (TE ATL)
78	Vic	Jacobs, Brandon (RB NYG)
79	Paul	Tomlinson, LaDainian (RB NYJ)
80	Nickoli	Harrison, Jerome (RB CLE)
81	Craig	Shiancoe, Visanthe (TE MIN)
82	Ed	Wallace, Mike (WR PIT)
83	Todd	Miller, Zach (TE OAK)
84	AD Greene	Cooley, Chris (TE WAS)

Analysis: This round is stacked with potential top-tier talent. Jacobs, Forsett, Nicks, and on and on and on. For the draft, remember, Rounds 6-8 will make your team. Pick of the Round: Jacobs feels like a steal in Round 7 considering he is a perennial top 2 round pick. What Was He Thinking?: This was a good round and I don't see a pick that stands out as awful.

Round 8
Pick	Team	Player
85	AD Greene	Jets (DST NYJ)
86	Todd	Packers (DST GB)
87	Ed	Manning, Eli (QB NYG)
88	Craig	Cowboys (DST DAL)
89	Nickoli	Slaton, Steve (RB HOU)
90	Paul	Tate, Ben (RB HOU)
91	Vic	Hightower, Tim (RB ARI)
92	Nate	Harvin, Percy (WR MIN)
93	Paul	Owens, Terrell (WR CIN)
94	Pontos	Bryant, Dez (WR DAL)
95	Stephen	Jackson, Vincent (WR SD)
96	Derek	Floyd, Malcom (WR SD)

Analysis: The final round of our mega-value picks, take out the DST and every pick here has a chance to make an impact. Which proves why you should wait to pick a D. Would you rather have a guy like Tim Hightower or a #1 WR for a top team in Malcom Floyd or would you rather have the Cowboys D? Also, Floyd and VJax going back to back? Pick of the Round: Malcom Floyd at 96. He is the #1 (behind Gates) receiver in San Diego, he is going to be huge. What Was He Thinking?: Cowboys D. Jets and Packers were bad enough, but at least they were top-3 in 2009. The Cowboys? What a waste.

Round 9
Pick	Team	Player
97	Derek	Jackson, Fred (RB BUF)
98	Stephen	Hardesty, Montario (RB CLE)
99	Pontos	Maclin, Jeremy (WR PHI)
100	Paul	Winslow, Kellen (TE TB)
101	Nate	Williams, Ricky (RB MIA)
102	Vic	49ers (DST SF)
103	Paul	McFadden, Darren (RB OAK)
104	Nickoli	Moss, Santana (WR WAS)
105	Craig	Hartley, Garrett (K NO)
106	Ed	Holmes, Santonio (WR NYJ)
107	Todd	Akers, David (K PHI)
108	AD Greene	Longwell, Ryan (K MIN)

Analysis: Yahoo's and their kickers. Why?Why. I picked up the 49ers DST in week 13 last year. Why draft them? Pick of the Round: Fred Jackson. Starting RB in Round 9?bonus! What Was He Thinking?: Take your pick.

Round 10
Pick	Team	Player
109	AD Greene	Breaston, Steve (WR ARI)
110	Todd	Mason, Derrick (WR BAL)
111	Ed	Giants (DST NYG)
112	Craig	Ryan, Matt (QB ATL)
113	Nickoli	Houshmandzadeh, T.J. (WR SEA)
114	Paul	Vikings (DST MIN)
115	Vic	Bironas, Rob (K TEN)
116	Nate	McNabb, Donovan (QB WAS)
117	Paul	Maroney, Laurence (RB NE)
118	Pontos	Boss, Kevin (TE NYG)
119	Stephen	Ravens (DST BAL)
120	Derek	Roethlisberger, Ben (QB PIT)

Analysis: Still some nice picks here with Ryan, McNabb and Busy Hands Ben. Rob Bironas is the only kicker I would take because of his name, it goes with that song?Ra Ra Ra Ra Roooob Bironis! Pick of the Round: Speaking of those Busy Hands, Big Ben will be back at starting QB by mid-season. Will be great for the fantasy playoffs. What Was He Thinking?: Any DST

Round 11
Pick	Team	Player
121	Derek	Thomas, Demaryius (WR DEN)
122	Stephen	Meachem, Robert (WR NO)
123	Pontos	Steelers (DST PIT)
124	Paul	Eagles (DST PHI)
125	Nate	Brown, Donald (RB IND)
126	Vic	Williams, Roy E. (WR DAL)
127	Paul	Aromashodu, Devin (WR CHI)
128	Nickoli	Cassel, Matt Greene (QB KC)
129	Craig	Taylor, Chester (RB CHI)
130	Ed	Manningham, Mario (WR NYG)
131	Todd	McGahee, Willis (RB BAL)
132	AD Greene	Smith, Kevin (RB DET)

Analysis: I'd still rather take a Donald Brown then take the Steelers DST. Pick of the Round: Donald Brown and Kevin Smith. Both have the potential to garner 20 carries a game, both come as a steal in Round 11. What Was He Thinking?: Demaryius Thomas?He can still surprise ya!

Round 12
Pick	Team	Player
133	AD Greene	Evans, Lee (WR BUF)
134	Todd	Smith, Alex (QB SF)
135	Ed	Foster, Arian (RB HOU)
136	Craig	Cotchery, Jerricho (WR NYJ)
137	Nickoli	Miller, Heath (TE PIT)
138	Paul	Collie, Austin (WR IND)
139	VIc	Bears (DST CHI)
140	Nate	Edward, Braylon (WR NYJ)
141	Paul	Schilens, Chaz (WR OAK)
142	Pontos	Crosby, Mason (K GB)
143	Stephen	Hester, Devin (WR CHI)
144	Derek	Gostkowski, Stephen (K NE)

Analysis: Round 12 is a time to find a low risk, nice reward type player. Nothing to lose here and one of these fellas may just evolve into an every week starter. Pick of the Round: I don?t know?Devin Hester maybe? Chaz? What Was He Thinking?: Tie between Crosby and Gostkowski. I?d rather have Grammatica.
