 Dan - 1st Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.01 1 RB Adrian Peterson (MIN) MIN
2.12 24 WR Sidney Rice MIN
3.01 25 WR Greg Jennings GB
4.12 48 WR Hines Ward PIT
5.01 49 TE Brent Celek PHI
6.12 72 RB Cadillac Williams TB
7.01 73 RB Michael Bush OAK
8.12 96 WR Steve Breaston ARI
9.01 97 QB Carson Palmer CIN
10.12 120 QB Matt Leinart ARI
11.01 121 QB Chad Henne MIA
12.12 144 K Nate Kaeding SD
13.01 145 RB Leon Washington SEA
14.12 168 DEF Baltimore Ravens BAL
15.01 169 WR Chaz Schilens OAK


Analysis : Dan took an unusual approach with the #1 pick...really, from the very beginning. Waiting so long to grab a second running back could end up hurting him a bit, but I think waiting a long time for a QB will not given the fact that he's stacked three QBs on his roster. Obviously, Dan has put together a team that is deep at the WR position and along with Peterson, is really the strength of the team. In reality, Dan just needs one of his "other" running backs to step up and produce consistently to be a factor. The WRs are certain to produce given the top three have a stable QB throwing them the ball. The choice of Celek was a bit early for my taste, and Dan didn't back him up which means Celek staying healthy is also important to the team's overall success. All in all, this isn't one of my favorite teams from the standpoint of what could have been done from the #1 slot. Still, there are strengths here and I thought Dan made some solid picks in the middle rounds.

Favorite pick: Chad Henne. One could argue against a combo of Palmer and Leinart...but grabbing Henne to give that duo support was just a stellar move.

Least Favorite pick: Lendale White (just kidding)...Brent Celek. I thought there were better pieces to the puzzle available at that spot.



 Vikings4Ever - 2nd Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.02 2 RB Maurice Jones-Drew JAC
2.11 23 RB Jamaal Charles KC
3.02 26 WR Marques Colston NO
4.11 47 TE Antonio Gates SD
5.02 50 WR Dwayne Bowe KC
6.11 71 RB Justin Forsett SEA
7.02 74 QB Brett Favre MIN
8.11 95 QB Donovan McNabb WAS
9.02 98 WR Jeremy Maclin PHI
10.11 119 RB Darren Sproles SD
11.02 122 TE Chris Cooley WAS
12.11 143 WR Austin Collie IND
13.02 146 WR Demaryius Thomas ® DEN
14.11 167 DEF San Francisco 49ers SF
15.02 170 K Robbie Gould CHI


Analysis : There are several different points of attack for this team that could make them a really strong contender during the NHL season. First, the RBs have some upside as both Charles and Forsett could do quite a bit better than the modest projections most have placed upon them so far this offseason. Secondly, his WRs are still in the younger stages of their careers and are still capable of taking their game to another level. Add two savvy veterans at QB along with one of the best, most consistent tight ends in the game and you've got a balanced group with the potential for big things. One note of caution, however: The Kansas City Chiefs weren't very good last year and two of this team's first five picks are members of the Chiefs. That's something of a gamble to put it mildly. The late round WRs were well-selected.

Favorite pick: Antonio Gates. With Jackson possibly holding out, Rivers will get the ball to him...a lot. Really thought he fell too far in this draft and V4E took advantage.

Least Favorite pick: Jamaal Charles. I'm sold on him, but are the Chiefs? And what role does Thomas Jones play? Clearly, Jones still has some stuff left in his tank as well.



 remote controller - 3rd Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.03 3 RB Ray Rice BAL
2.10 22 RB Ryan Mathews ® SD
3.03 27 WR DeSean Jackson PHI
4.10 46 WR Chad Ochocinco CIN
5.03 51 TE Jermichael Finley GB
6.10 70 QB Kevin Kolb PHI
7.03 75 QB Jay Cutler CHI
8.10 94 WR Malcom Floyd SD
9.03 99 RB Reggie Bush NO
10.10 118 WR Kevin Walter HOU
11.03 123 RB Willis McGahee BAL
12.10 142 TE Tony Scheffler DET
13.03 147 K Garrett Hartley NO
14.10 166 WR Jabar Gaffney DEN
15.03 171 DEF Pittsburgh Steelers PIT


Analysis : What jumps out at me is the 1-2 running game punch of Rice and Mathews. In a RBBC world, these two guys have a chance to be old school workhorse backs in their respective offenses and Remote even covered his top investment with the selection of McGahee in round eleven. That two-headed monster is the heart and soul of this team and although the receiving corps is just average, it's solid. The only thing holding this team back is Kolb and Cutler. Remote could not have chosen two QBs that have more question marks than these two but neither is in much danger of losing his job, so they should have some good weeks to go along with the bad. If one or both excels, the sky is the limit for this team given the firepower in the running game. I thought hard about taking Mathews at 2.02 - I think he's going to be the bellcow for that offense and I love his chances of breaking into the top five at the position by year's end. Very few if any of these players are past their prime. This is a young, dynamic looking team to me.

Favorite pick: Ryan Mathews for reasons already discussed. I would be jumping for joy in a real draft if I got Rice and Mathews in the first two rounds.

Least Favorite pick: Hard to choose as I thought nearly all of Remote's picks were solid...but if I had to pick one, Chad Ochocinco. Palmer is in decline and Chad isn't always focused on football. Not a guy I'd personally be all that excited about having.



 WhiteWonder - 4th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.04 4 RB Chris Johnson (RB) TEN
2.09 21 WR Roddy White ATL
3.04 28 RB Ryan Grant GB
4.09 45 QB Philip Rivers SD
5.04 52 TE Vernon Davis SF
6.09 69 WR Santana Moss WAS
7.04 76 RB Marion Barber DAL
8.09 93 QB Eli Manning NYG
9.04 100 WR Dez Bryant ® DAL
10.09 117 WR Donnie Avery STL
11.04 124 TE Heath Miller PIT
12.09 141 RB LaDainian Tomlinson NYJ
13.04 148 WR Anthony Gonzalez IND
14.09 165 K David Buehler DAL
15.04 172 DEF Chicago Bears CHI


Analysis : Is it just me or did White steal about every guy through seven rounds? Count me among the crowd that believes Chris Johnson should go #1 so that was a steal. In round three, White got a massive steal with Ryan Grant at 3.04. Remember, this is NOT a PPR league and as such, Grant is more valuable than given credit for in this draft. Add Rivers and Davis and you have a really dynamic beginning to this draft for WhiteWonder. Every team in the June Mock is going to have a glaring weakness - that's just the nature of a draft like this. I think White's weakness, although subtle, could end up being at wide receiver. That being said, what happens to this team if Dez Bryant has an explosive rookie year? I can tell you what happens: This team becomes unstoppable. It is an elite squad from my perspective and barring something unforeseen, I would imagine the strength at QB-RB-TE is going to carry this group a long way.

Favorite pick: He kind of fell into it, obviously, but Chris Johnson at #5. I thought Grant, Rivers, and Davis were also terrific as was noted above.

Least Favorite pick: Donnie Avery. I think there were better options there, but maybe that's just me.



 KSB2424- 5th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.05 5 WR Andre Johnson HOU
2.08 20 WR Miles Austin DAL
3.05 29 RB Cedric Benson CIN
4.08 44 QB Matt Schaub HOU
5.05 53 RB Jahvid Best ® DET
6.08 68 RB Brandon Jacobs NYG
7.05 77 WR Mike Wallace PIT
8.08 92 RB Ahmad Bradshaw NYG
9.05 101 WR Antonio Bryant CIN
10.08 116 TE Zach Miller (OAK) OAK
11.05 125 QB Mark Sanchez NYJ
12.08 140 DEF Minnesota Vikings MIN
13.05 149 TE Todd Heap BAL
14.08 164 WR Nate Burleson DET
15.05 173 K Neil Rackers HOU


Analysis : A solid, but average draft by June Mock standards really took a turn for the better in the middle rounds for KSB. Taking two wide receivers at the top left the running game a bit suspect but in rounds 6-9, KSB not only solidified that position by grabbing both of Giants' backs, but also took two WRs I'm fairly high on in Wallace and Bryant. Nobody else in this draft did more damage (in a positive way) during the middle rounds than KSB. My only concern would be the injury risk for this team. Schaub, Benson, Jacobs, Bryant, Heap... I like all these guys, but each brings a somewhat checkered past to the table in terms of being hurt for stretches of time. If KSB's bunch remains healthy, this will probably be one of the better teams, Also, the Benson-Best combo is one of the league's weakest at RB, but the No-Hassle strategy of backing that up with Jacobs-Bradshaw was solid to say the least. While I wouldn't necessarily love this team in a non best-ball format, I do like it a lot given the way the No-Hassle league is scored.

Favorite pick: Jacobs/Bradshaw. That's covering your butt and then some. If neither gets hurt, you'll do fine. If one gets hurt, you'll still do fine. Win-win picks.

Least Favorite pick: I liked all these picks, really. I think Todd Heap is pretty worthless at this point in terms of fantasy value, but he's your backup tight end for goodness sakes, so no real complaints.



 Clash of the Titans - 6th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.06 6 RB Frank Gore SF
2.07 19 WR Brandon Marshall MIA
3.06 30 QB Tony Romo DAL
4.07 43 RB Joseph Addai IND
5.06 54 WR Hakeem Nicks NYG
6.07 67 RB Ricky Williams MIA
7.06 78 WR Braylon Edwards NYJ
8.07 91 RB Donald Brown IND
9.06 102 WR Kenny Britt TEN
10.07 115 QB Vince Young TEN
11.06 126 TE Jeremy Shockey NO
12.07 139 RB Arian Foster HOU
13.06 150 QB Matt Hasselbeck SEA
14.07 163 K Rob Bironas TEN
15.06 174 DEF Dallas Cowboys DAL


Analysis : A typical Clash draft here. Flash, upside, excitement. Clash rarely picks a guy who's not on the upside of his career as a starter and this group is no different. The receiving corps is long on talent with Marshall, Nicks, Britt, and Edwards in the fold. I thought maybe Marshall was picked a bit early given the fact he's one screw-up away from a significant suspension, but you can't aruge his potential. The Joseph Addai pick was out-of-character because it was totally "un-sexy", but I liked it nevertheless. This group of high octane guys needed a consistent plodder like Addai to balance things out. This team is deep at RB as Clash was the only owner in the draft that chose to pick five at that position. That means, however, that his only tight end is the very oft-injured Jeremy Shockey. I wouldn't be "shocked" to see Clash get zero from that position more weeks than not, which puts a lot of pressure on the other guys to score big. A nice mix of high risk/reward guys like Marshall and Nicks and steady guys like Romo and Addai here. Should be a competitive team.

Favorite pick: Hakeem Nicks and Kenny Britt; two guys that really showed something last year...certainly, if both take the next step in their development in year two, these were great selections.

Least Favorite pick: Braylon Edwards. Kind of a poor man's Brandon Marshall. Loads of talent...but a mystery between the ears. As noted above, I thought Marshall was early, too. A backup TE would have been a better pick than Hasselbeck, also.



 JScott - 7th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.07 7 RB Michael Turner ATL
2.06 18 QB Aaron Rodgers GB
3.07 31 WR Vincent Jackson SD
4.06 42 TE Dallas Clark IND
5.07 55 WR Steve Smith (NYG) NYG
6.06 66 RB Ben Tate ® HOU
7.07 79 RB Fred Jackson BUF
8.06 90 RB Montario Hardesty ® CLE
9.07 103 WR Lee Evans BUF
10.06 114 WR Devin Aromashodu CHI
11.07 127 TE Dustin Keller NYJ
12.06 138 QB Matt Cassel KC
13.07 151 K Stephen Gostkowski NE
14.06 162 DEF Philadelphia Eagles PHI
15.07 175 WR Mohamed Massaquoi CLE


Analysis : Kind of a hit-and-miss team from my perspective as there are some things that I like and some I don't. First, what I liked. In the past, people in this draft have shyed away from drafting a marquee QB early because they seemed married to a strategy of never taking a QB in the first few rounds. J bucked that trend here and I think Rodgers really gives this team stability at the top of the lineup. I also liked the spot at which he was able to nab Dallas Clark. Finally, I think Michael Turner is in for a huge year, so I’m more excited about that pick than J appeared to be. Beyond this, the picks were less than desirable from one man's perspective. Up first, Vincent Jackson appears headed for a long term holdout and Ben Tate is a one-dimensional RB - didn't like those picks. Then, J took three players in a row on horrible teams (Jackson, Hardesty, Evans) which is something I tend to avoid if at all possible. So, how does this team stack up as a whole? I think the depth at RB behind Turner is suspect and the wide receiving corps is soft behind Jackson, who may not even start the season. That places a heavy burden on Rodgers, Turner, and Clark who do provide a solid foundation. The supporting cast aren't the players I would have sought out to do the job, but J may know some things that I don't.

Favorite pick: Rodgers. He's a superstar from a fantasy standpoint and JScott did the right thing not passing him up in the name of another position.

Least Favorite pick: The Bills and Browns are a mess. JScott dipped into that well four times in this draft...was surprised by that.



 ICEMAN - 8th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.08 8 RB Rashard Mendenhall PIT
2.05 17 QB Peyton Manning IND
3.08 32 RB Knowshon Moreno DEN
4.05 41 WR Steve Smith (CAR) CAR
5.08 56 TE Jason Witten DAL
6.05 65 WR Donald Driver GB
7.08 80 RB Clinton Portis WAS
8.05 89 WR Derrick Mason BAL
9.08 104 WR Eddie Royal DEN
10.05 113 TE John Carlson SEA
11.08 128 RB Thomas Jones KC
12.05 137 DEF New Orleans Saints NO
13.08 152 K Mason Crosby GB
14.05 161 QB Kyle Orton DEN
15.08 176 WR Golden Tate ® SEA


Analysis : This team was built on the foundation of two young, talented running backs and a stud QB, much like what I ended up doing with my draft. Then, ICE decided to go old. Steve Smith, Donald Driver, and Derrick Mason form an experienced WR corps, but they don't offer a great deal of upside. If all three end up repeating their success of the past couple of years, things will be fine, but I think ICE would have been better served to add an upside pick to the group. Perhaps the last round addition of Golden Tate will serve to fill that role. The TE depth on this team is superb and that will be a No-Hassle strength to be sure. The RB depth on the team is old as well (Clinton Portis, Thomas Jones), but no one can fault ICE for taking Jones as his value at the draft position warrented the pick. However, I'm not certain either of those two will have enough big weeks to be an asset for best ball fantasy football. Then again, if Mendenhall and Moreno stay healthy and reach their potential, th backup RB contributions may irrelevant. This team is not going to be at the bottom of the standings but, does this team have the upside to win a title? I would say probably not initially but much like JScott, the first four rounds were awfully good and could make up for other areas of concern.

Favorite pick: It was late in the draft, but Thomas Jones in the 11th was just a gift. If Charles were to get hurt this year, Jones still has a good year or two left in him, I think.

Least Favorite pick: Portis. Despite their age, Driver and Mason still look capable of making solid week-in, week-out contributions. Portis? I'm not so sure. Thought he was picked too early.



 Ray Lewis' Limo Driver - 9th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.09 9 RB Steven Jackson STL
2.04 16 WR Reggie Wayne IND
3.09 33 RB LeSean McCoy PHI
4.04 40 WR Anquan Boldin BAL
5.09 57 RB Ronnie Brown MIA
6.04 64 WR Pierre Garcon IND
7.09 81 QB Matt Ryan ATL
8.04 88 TE Owen Daniels HOU
9.09 105 WR Julian Edelman NE
10.04 112 QB Ben Roethlisberger PIT
11.09 129 RB Chester Taylor CHI
12.04 136 DEF New York Jets NYJ
13.09 153 WR Bernard Berrian MIN
14.04 160 WR Devin Thomas WAS
15.09 177 K Lawrence Tynes NYG


Analysis : Six rounds – 3 RBs, 3 WRs. Sounds like a typical June Mock type of team and RLLD has certainly blended together good depth on at those two positions. Solid vets including Jackson, Boldin, and Wayne along with rising young players like McCoy and Garcon should prove to be beneficial. Grabbing six wide receivers has left the team with absolutely no depth at QB for six weeks and no depth at TE behind a guy coming off a major injury. That could be a problem over the course of a 17-week season. Ray may get away with it however, and ride the wealth of talent that exists on the team in other places. With the mix at RB and WR, no other team in the league is likely to outscore him at those two positions especially in a best ball format. McCoy and Brown are a nice blend to have teaming with the steady weekly production of Jackson. And when the Colts passing game is clicking, Ray will take advantage with big points from Wayne and Garcon. For the most part, I do like the way this team is put together and it could be a top three team if everything goes right. From a No-Hassle perspective, though, I do think a second tight end always makes sense and I might have gone there instead of grabbing a sixth WR.

Favorite pick: I don't think Ray "stole" many guys...just put together a pretty solid team with guys going about where they should have. I do think Wayne is a great value at 2.04 in a league that starts three WRs, so good job there.

Least Favorite pick: Again, nothing drastic. Garcon, Daniels and Edelman seemed a bit early, but if Ray likes all three guys, more power to him.



 robb - 10th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.10 10 WR Larry Fitzgerald ARI
2.03 15 WR Calvin Johnson DET
3.10 34 RB Chris Wells ARI
4.03 39 RB Jonathan Stewart CAR
5.10 58 WR Wes Welker NE
6.03 63 RB C.J. Spiller ® BUF
7.10 82 WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh SEA
8.03 87 QB Joe Flacco BAL
9.10 106 RB Darren McFadden OAK
10.03 111 QB Matthew Stafford DET
11.10 130 TE Greg Olsen CHI
12.03 135 QB Alex Smith (QB) SF
13.10 154 TE Kevin Boss NYG
14.03 159 DEF Green Bay Packers GB
15.10 178 K Matt Prater DEN


Analysis : Wide receiver overload. Not a strategy that suits me personally, but it's hard to argue against the talent amassed by Robb at the position. If Wes Welker can get on the field by Week One, this team could put up some huge numbers. Fitzgerald, Johnson, and Welker is about as good a trio of wideouts as you can assemble in a league like this. There are definitely question marks at other positions. For example: Will Chris Wells' role in the Arizona offense increase from last season? Can C.J. Spiller make a fantasy splash on a bad Buffalo team? Is the QB trio of Flacco, Stafford, and Smith up to par with Dan’s trio put together from the #1 spot? Yes, I think Wells will have an increased role...No, I don't think Spiller will make a huge splash in Buffalo sans on kickoff returns...and yes, I think this trio of QBs could work out just fine. Spiller or McFadden represent the real question marks for me. Wells and Stewart aren't good enough to carry the load at RB in a best ball format without getting occasional support from the #3 and #4 guys. There's simply no evidence as yet to support that one or both is capable of filling in the gaps. You have to respect what Robb did here. He put together a WR corps that no one could match up with and let the chips fall where they may.

Favorite pick: Houshmandzadeh. This pick kind of sent my draft into a tailspin (more to come) as I think he's a perfect choice to fill the #3 WR role.

Least Favorite pick: Wasn't a big fan of Welker or Spiller that early...not high on Flacco early either at the time, but you guys convinced me to take a second look at him and I'm thinking more favorably about him now.



 Fumbleweed - 11th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.11 11 QB Drew Brees NO
2.02 14 RB DeAngelo Williams CAR
3.11 35 RB Pierre Thomas NO
4.02 38 WR Michael Crabtree SF
5.11 59 RB Felix Jones DAL
6.02 62 WR Percy Harvin MIN
7.11 83 TE Tony Gonzalez ATL
8.02 86 WR Devin Hester CHI
9.11 107 TE Kellen Winslow TB
10.02 110 WR Jerricho Cotchery NYJ
11.11 131 RB Tim Hightower ARI
12.02 134 WR Terrell Owens FA
13.11 155 K Ryan Longwell MIN
14.02 158 QB Josh Freeman TB
15.11 179 DEF New England Patriots NE


Analysis : Usually, I walk away from the June Mock feeling pretty good about my team, but my response this year is only lukewarm after spending the second half of the draft second-guessing picks and looking to fill holes with inadequate pieces. The strength of this team is RB where I feel the high-end potential of DeAngelo Williams and Felix Jones will mix well with the steadiness of Pierre Thomas. Tim Hightower is nice depth allowing for at least some scoring when one of the "Big Three" has a bye week. Another strength of this team from a No-Hassle perspective is at tight end with Gonzalez and Winslow likely to complement each other often and keep the position productive. Finally, it's always nice to know that Drew Brees's production will be on your side week in and week out throughout the year. The weakness of this team is at WR. Crabtree and Harvin headline the group with exciting potential, but have unproven consistentcy. I was hoping to land a vet like Houshmandzadeh at the #3 spot, but instead had to settle for a late round flier on Devin Hester. Owens could end up being a great late round pick...or he might not play at all. Bottom line: This is one of the best teams in the league easily if you take every position sans WR. But, it may be the weakest receiving corps in the league and somebody will have to surprise in order for this team to be a contender.

Favorite pick: Not a sexy pick, but I was very happy to get Pierre Thomas where I did. I think he's a late second round value and I like his chances to be a top 12 back as the year progresses.

Least Favorite pick: Was hoping for a better WR #3 than Hester...also would have preferred a different backup QB than Josh Freeman.



 NAn - 12th Pick
# Overall Pos Player Team
1.12 12 RB Shonn Greene NYJ
2.01 13 WR Randy Moss NE
3.12 36 QB Tom Brady NE
4.01 37 RB Matt Forte CHI
5.12 60 WR Mike Sims-Walker JAC
6.01 61 RB Jerome Harrison CLE
7.12 84 WR Robert Meachem NO
8.01 85 WR Santonio Holmes NYJ
9.12 108 TE Visanthe Shiancoe MIN
10.01 109 RB Laurence Maroney NE
11.12 132 QB David Garrard JAC
12.01 133 WR Johnny Knox CHI
13.12 156 TE Bo Scaife TEN
14.01 157 K David Akers PHI
15.12 180 DEF Indianapolis Colts IND


Analysis : A lot of variables for this team with nobody outside of Brady and Moss having put together more than one good season in their NFL careers to date. The potential is certainly there, but will Greene, Sims-Walker, Harrison, and Meachem follow-up on breakthrough performances last year? And, will Matt Forte rebound from a disappointing second season? All we know for sure is on a week that Brady and Moss are in synch, NAn is certain to be near the top of the No-Hassle League standings. Beyond that, not much about this team can be known until the season starts playing itself out. I do like the youth and upside of this team. As good as the Jets are at running the ball, Greene could end up being a top-five RB and if Brady and Moss get back to past glories, this team can be near or at the top of the standings when it's all said and done. NAn has given himself several paths to success and that's about all you can ask for in fantasy football.

Favorite pick: Shonn Greene at 1.12. You have to look at the big picture and the bottom line is the Jets can run the ball down people's throats. NAn could have gone with a blander pick...I think he'll be glad he didn't.

Least Favorite pick: Matt Forte. His YPC over the past two seasons concern me enough that I'm staying away. It would have been a good idea to get Chester Taylor later in the draft to protect.
