Second Mock Draft my team- Results

Here are the results of my 2nd mock draft. I had the #6 pick out of 8. This was a 16 round draft. I attempted to get backups for everyone but my kicker and Defense.

Here is my starting line up and backups:

Starters:
QB: Carson Palmer- Cinn- 5th Rnd pick. I really like Carson this year. I think he will be even better than last year. For me he is the clear #2 after P. Manning.
RB1: Portis, Clinton- WAS- 1st Rnd pick. With his improved Offensive line- I think he is back. He is the n 4th RB on my list only after the big three of LT, L Johnson, and S. Alexander.
RB2: Williams, Carnell- TB- 2nd Rnd pick. He will only get better with experience. I expect 10
TD and 1500 yards from this stud.
WR1: Harrison, Marvin- IND- 3rd Rnd pick. Still P. Manning's favorite endzone target. He still had 12 TDs last year. I expect the same this year. Manning only had 28 TDs last year.
WR2: Ward, Hines- PIT- 4th Rnd pick. Roethlisberger is for real and that makes Ward a potential stud. He had 11 TDs last year. This is a run first offense but it should not be as much of one as last year.
WR3: Burress, Plaxico- NYG- 6th Rnd pick. E. Manning is also for real and Burress is now the man in NY. I expect him to increase his TD totals from 7 last year to 9 or 10.
TE: Heap, Todd- BAL- 8th Rnd. Easily in the top 5 of TE. His numbers were not great last year but I am expecting a return to fantasy stud this year.
K: Rackers, Neil- ARI- 14th Rnd. My topped ranked kicker.
Def: Jacksonville- JAX- 12th Rnd. I waited a little too long on a def but they are in the top 5
of my list. They are a solid young Def with a chance to be great.

Backups:

QB: Roethlisberger, Ben- PIT- 15th Rnd. I thought he was a steal at the end of the 15 round. I look for him to throw a little more this year with the Bus gone and his confidence going up.
RB: Benson, Cedric-CHI- 7th Rnd. Latest news from camp is that T. Jones is out injured and
Benson has been named the starter.
RB: Rhodes, Dominic- IND- 10th Rnd. He might be the starter for the Potent Colts Offense.
That in itself was worth the gamble with the 10th round pick.
WR: Houshmandzadeh, T.J. - CIN- 9th Rnd. T.J. is the guy on the other side of Chad Johnson.
This leaves T.J. in a lot of single coverage. I see him as good #3 WR and I have him as a #4.
WR: Stallworth, Donte- NO- 11th Rnd. He has been great in moments and horrible in others. I
think the addition of Brees will help Donte become a steal as my #5 WR.
WR: Brown, Reggie-PHI- 13th Rnd. Here is McNabb's #1 receiver. As my #6 WR, I am
loving this pick. He may not do much but he has great potential and may perform as up to a #3 WR.
TE: Miller, Heath- PIT- 16th Rnd. He had 6 TDs in the first 7 games as a rookie. If
Roethlisberger is healthy all year, he could be a stud. Not bad for the last pick.

My next post will have the complete mock draft.

Mock Draft

Over at Fantasy Sports Central, I am participating in Mock Draft. It is a little slow going on the draft because they give you 12 hours to make your pick when you are on the clock. They do this so you do not have to take a large amount of time out of your day to draft. They send you an e-mail with the latest update and the picks. It seems to be good practice for the upcoming drafts. If you want to practice, check them out and join a mock draft.

My pick for a Fantasy Football Magazine is ...

The Counselor is IN:

I finally went fantasy football magazine shopping. I found several different magazines that I liked but I chose the one that I liked the most. It is Athlon Sports/ Grogan's Fantasy Football Analyst is the magazine that I chose. Here is what I liked about this magazine over the others. Firstly, Athlon Sports bought out Grogan's. Athlon is known for doing great sports analyst books for decades including yearly spot lights on the NFL and NCAA Football. Grogan's has been putting out fantasy football magazines for 20 years and they were one of the first fantasy magazines. Together, they have put out a slick looking magazine but it also seems to have the usual great Grogan's content.

This magazine has a ton of related fantasy information including an expert mock draft, rookie information, team information, and cheat sheets. I really liked the player scope analysis section where it takes each position and gives details on why each player is ranked where they are. They put them in the ranked order which I really like better than the alphabetical order that some other magazines use.

The runner up magazine was ESPN's Fantasy Football Magazine. This magazine actually had more details and a longer list of players per position. If you are in a real deep league, this magazine may be worth checking out. I did not agree with some of their picks so put them in second place.

Check out the different magazines and see what you prefer. You now know my preferences. Happy fantasy football magazine hunting.
