Very first mock draft......criticism please!!

[HUDSON]

Put myself in the #3 slot.......strategy here was taking a QB late who I feel will be solid! That would be Peyton Manning!!


QB P Manning
WR C Johnson
WR Julio Jones
WR Dez Bryant
RB Stephen Jackson
RB Frank Gore
TE Jacob Tamme
K M Bryant
D NYG

B Rothliesburger (QB)
B R Helu (RB)
B J Rodgers (RB)
B S. Moss (WR)
B M Manningham (WR)


My starting RB's are aging with Jackson and Gore I realize, but feel Jackson could have a very solid season barring injury. Love Fisher coming to STL and putting the winning attitude back there. I also feel Manning to Tamme could be a HUGE tandom this season!! Many doubting Manning on his comeback, but I feel strongly he puts up solid numbers and last's the entire season. He's as tough as they come....and remember this is Peyton Manning!!!! You can get him 4th/5th round maybe later and bolster up other spots.

My major concern with this draft are the RB position.....would have liked a younger RB2 to go along with Jackson, but Gore was the best choice at the time. If Roy Helu can get time in Washington he could be a sleeper.........

I will never draft Steven Jackson again.. Too injured prone. I think the rest of the team is strong

This was 12 man league....

Yeah I know bout Jackson's history......I feel a good % of that was based off the Rams being a shitty team and him shutting it down. Not saying the injuries were false, but usually super stars will shut down after an injury if the team is bad. This season I see STL being decent and Jackson having a reason to stay in there...when he's healthy and has motivation to play he's easily a Top 5 RB running and catching! Remember......Eddie George with Fisher?? Jackson could be that guy!

Ok......2nd mock draft.....put myself #9.


#1 McFadden


QB P Manning
WR Fitz
WR Julio Jones
WR Stevie Johnson
RB McFadden
RB S Jackson
TE K Winslow
K Rackers
D Giants

B Isaac Redman (RB)
B Schaub (QB)
B S Moss (WR)
B Gerhart (RB)
B R Moss (WR)
B Tolbert (RB)


I like this team a lot!! Maybe a little better than the 1st draft........Wanted Tamme as my TE, but got snatched up before I was going to take him. Checked some stats and saw Winslow was 4th in targets last year!! He's solid when he's healthy of course.....

Not exactly sure where I'd criticize this draft....I like this team!!! Watch out Gerhart for the Vikings early in the season before AP gets back!! This kid was a beast at Stanford and he's gonna get his shot right now!!! He's gonna surprise...you watch!!!!

 

[HUDSON]

Oh...and I never waste my time on drafting a kicker or defense until the final 2 picks. I alternate those positions throughout the year.

 

[Desmond]

I love that you keep ending up with Julio. He is going to have a big BIG year.

On your first draft I think you way overvalued Megatron, even though I think he is a great player I would rather have had LeSean McCoy or Ray Rice and come back with a Julio Jones, Victor Cruz type selection or even Wes Welker. Judging from the line up I am guessing that you got Jackson around the third or fourth round but with the team not getting him close to the goal line very often, he scares me. I think a better pick would have been Michael Turner and then Antonio Gates.

You also got Peyton in both drafts so I am guessing you are taking him around the sixth or seventh which is at least two rounds too early for me. You also would have been better served to pick up Decker rather than Tamme. These are only my thoughts. I think it is a fine team, just not my favorite players. For instance I would have taken Matt Forte before McFadden.

Manning is a massive risk.

 

[Sylvan]

I like this thread but I think we could help each other more if we know the round you got each player in. Just a thought. If you're using Yahoo go to 'Draft Central' then 'Overview'. That gives you a breakdown of your teams draft results. That could be copied then pasted here.

Nice draft. My guess is it went like this
Round
1 was McFadden
2 Fitz
3 had to be Julio Jones very surprised you got him this late, you would not have had I been drafting
4 was SJax
5 Probably S. johnson
6 Redman
7 Manning
8 Gerhardt
9 Winslow (too early IMO only)
10 Schaub
11 Moss
12 Tolbert
13 Jints
14 S. Moss
15 Rackers

Am I close?
