Football Thoughts

An NFL fan's view on the league today

FANTASY MOCK DRAFT

A little too early for Fantasy Football? We don't think so. Here's an early taste of it with a recent mock draft we constructed...

1.) C- Hawks: LaDainian Tomlinson

- I was thinking about Adrian Peterson here, but you just can't pass on LaDainian here. He's been the best fantasy star the last five years, and would be a great start to building my team.

2.) Jay's Jabronies: Adrian Peterson

- I knew he would be a start since day one. I would have taken him with number one as well.

3.) Legend Killerz: Brian Westbrook

- The total package. His running, receiving, and even special team skills will put me over the top. I just hope he doesn't stop at the 1 yard line again.

4.) Hurricane Kadryna: Steven Jackson

- Injuries held him back last season. He'll be back this year and possibly get that 2500 yard guarentee.

5.) Destroyers: Ryan Grant

- Grant had the most rushing yards to end the second half of the season. Hopefully he keeps it rolling in 2008.

6.) Block Buster Boys: Marion Barber

- A total workhorse in the Cowboys offense. With Julius Jones out of there, he'll get even more carries.

7.) Lions: Tom Brady

- He only had the best fantasy season ever for a quarterback last season. With him running my team, I should be guarenteed a playoff spot.

8.) Dynasaurus: Marshawn Lynch

- This rookie running back, in Buffalo, ran for over 1000 yards even when teams knew they'd run. I'm looking for an even better season next year.

9.) Seaside Squirts: Willie Parker

- An injury kept him from getting the rushing title last season. I'm banking on a big comeback.

10.) Barca Breakers: Joeseph Addai

Not a great season last year, but injuries played a factor. Don't worry, he'll have his best season to date next year.

11.) Larkin and the Rippers: Frank Gore

- Mike Martz already said he will use Frank Gore a lot this season. With Gore the best player remaining, I can't pass him up.

12.) Air Wiggins: Peyton Manning

I'd love to take a running back here, but it's just too hard to pass on him on this wrap around.

13.) Air Wiggins: Clinton Portis

- If I don't go running back now, I'll have nothing later. Portis should fit the role as my number one.

14.) Larkin and the Rippers: Randy Moss

- I pray at night he doesn't leave New England. If so, it was pretty early for him.

15.) Barca Breakers: Ronnie Brown

- Brown was a force before he was injured. Hopefully Miami can draw some attention off him this off-season with some more offensive threats.

16.) Seaside Squirts: Willis McGahee

- He was the only thing worth talking about in Baltimore last season. Not bad for my number two.

17.) Dynasaurus: Terrell Owens

- A sure bet for 1000 + yards and 10 touchdowns. Ill take it.

18.) Lions: Larry Johnson

- I'm taking a huge risk here. I really hope he can return to his 2005 form. If so, I'm golden, if not I'm screwed.

19.) Block Buster Boys: Brandon Jacobs

- I'm getting a deal here. Jacobs will be even better next season.

20.) Destroyers: Edgerrin James

- I was even suprised by Edge's stats last season. More solid than I thought. I hope Arizona doesn't draft a running back in the draft. If so, I wasted a 2nd round pick.

21.) Hurricane Kadryna: Reggie Bush

- People call him overrated, but I'll be laughing when he runs all over defenses next season.

22.) Legend Killerz: Tony Romo

- I should have a solid fantasy quarterback as long as Jessica Simpson isn't in the crowd.

23.) Jays Jabronies: Reggie Wayne

- Besides Moss, probably the best fantasy option at wide receiver (Yes I know who Terrell Owens is).

24.) C-Hawks: Maurice Jones-Drew

- Dear Fred Taylor, please retire. Thank You.

25.) C-Hawks: Chad Johnson

- Nobody has more yards at receiver than Chad Johnson the past five years. Check and mate.

26.) Jays Jabronies: Larry Fitzgerald

- I'm not buying into the rumors of him being traded. Last season was a statement, and he should be the best number two in this league.

27.) Legend Killerz: Laurence Maroney

- With Randy Moss possibly being gone, and Stallworth out already, maybe the Patriots will focus more on the run game.

28.) Hurricane Kadryna: Braylon Edwards

- Finally Braylon came into the scene last season. Hopefully Derek Anderson stays and they have the same magic.

29.) Destroyers: Torry Holt

- Every season Holt is solid. Watch though, I'll pick him the season he starts to show his age.

30.) Block Buster Boys: Marqeus Colston

- It was a damn shame he didn't make the Pro Bowl last season. This young super star is worth being a number one on anyones fantasy team.

31.) Lions: Andre Johnson

- When healthy, he was maybe the best receiver in the NFL. Too bad he's in Houston and not heard from.

32.) Dynasaurus: Earnest Graham

- Huge risk here, but I don't like any of the othern running backs remaining.

33.) Seaside Squirts: Drew Brees

- If it weren't for Tom Brady, Brees could have been named the best fantasy quarterback out there. I feel he's a steal .

34.) Barca Breakers: Steve Smith

- Injuries and bad quarter back play have held him back the last two seasons. That wont be the case in 2008.

35.) Larkin and the Rippers: Carson Palmer

- PLEASE DON'T TRADE CHAD JOHNSON

36.) Air Wiggins: Jamal Lewis

I need a solid second runningback, and he's the best remaining.

37.) Air Wiggins: Fred Taylor                                                                                                                              38.)
