Fantasy Football Mock - Braylon Goes In Round 1

Mock drafts this time of year are crazy, but definitely fun to look at. Now that the NFL Draft is over, the discussion has begun regarding who should go where. Check out the latest expert mock draft I participated in, and you may be surprised to see who was drafted in Round 1, and who "fell" to me at number two overall.

The following mock draft is based on this scoring system - 4 points for passing TDs, 6 points for TDs, 1 point per 10 yards rushing and/or receiving, 1 point per 20 yards passing, 1 point per reception and basic team defense scoring. There are 12 teams in this league, and each team must start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 D/ST.

Team 1 - LaDainian Tomlinson, Chargers RB - Well, even though we've been preaching that AP should be the first overall pick in all leagues, regardless of format, there are obviously some folks out there who still think LT belongs at the top of the pack.

Team 2 (Paul Hickey) - Adrian Peterson, Vikings RB - Man, was I THRILLED to see AP fall to me at number two. In my mind, this guy is far and away the top overall choice in 2008 seasonal drafts, and I honestly would have taken Joseph Addai here if Team 1 would've chosen AP.

Team 3 - Brian Westbrook, Eagles RB - An interesting move with Addai and Steven Jackson still on the board, but the fact that the Eagles rarely run a play without Westbrook touching the ball makes this probably a pretty safe pick.

Team 4 - Tom Brady, Patriots QB - I just don't understand what some people are thinking. If this were a league awarding six points per passing TD, I could maybe understand this, but Brady's big season came a year ago. The chances of him throwing for 50+ TDs again are slim to none, and there's no reason to pick a QB in round one, with sleepers guys like Derek Anderson, Ben Roethlisberber and Donovan McNabb available later on.

Team 5 - Steven Jackson, Rams RB - Jackson should NEVER fall further than this in 2008 seasonal drafts. He'll be the absolute centerpiece of Al Saunders' offense, and with Orlando Pace healthy, a 1,500 yard, 70+ reception season isn't out of the question.
