Don't Knock The Mock!

What's more exciting than the number one pick in your fantasy football draft? The number ten pick in your fantasy football draft. I enjoy taking players back to back and then watching players slip to me on the next go around. So without further delay, here is my one and only mock draft, picking tenth in a standard scoring ten team league, using a snake style draft.

#1 Alfred Morris, RB. / Redskins
Reason: Best back left on the board and his rookie numbers were obscene!

#2 Peyton Manning, QB. / Broncos
Reason: Best receiving corp in the NFL and he doesn't have much of a run game.

#3 Stevan Ridley, RB. / Patriots
Reason: No Welker, No Hernandez, No Gronk, No Woodhead, More Ridley!

#4 Randall Cobb, WR. / Packers
Reason: The next GREAT wide receiver for the Packers.

#5 Jason Witten, TE. / Cowboys
Reason: Last of the elite tight ends on the board. Romo's bread and butter and he never misses a game.

#6 Darren Sproles, RB. / Saints
Reason: In PPR leagues he's #1. I'll flex him and start him at RB during bye weeks.

#7 Matthew Stafford, QB, / Lions
Reason: Will easily throw for over 5,000 yards again this season and he's got Calvin Johnson.

#8 Tavon Austin, WR. / Rams
Reason: My choice for "Rookie of the Year." Silly speed & quickness will score you points on long touchdowns.

#9 T.Y. Hilton, WR. / Colts
Reason: Sleeper pick! This kid won some folks a Fantasy Football Championship last year. 25th in fantasy scoring at the wide receiver position & Luck likes him.

#10 Giovani Bernard, RB. / Bengals
Reason: Going ahead of, "The Law Firm" in most fantasy drafts. May end up as the best back in a weak rookie class.

#11 Kendall Wright, WR. / Titans
Reason: Was the Titan's number one pick a year ago. As my 4th wide receiver I'll take 60 catches, 800 yards, and five scores. 

#12 Ben Tate, RB. / Texans
Reason: Arian Foster's handcuff has more upside than Adrian Peterson's handcuff.        

#13 Golden Tate, WR. / Seahawks
Reason: Because Percy Harvin is out for the season and this is his contract year! This concludes the run on Tate's.

#14 Brandon Pettigrew, TE. / Lions
Reason: Pettigrew will get the scraps that Calvin Johnson leaves behind. That looks to be quite a meal!

#15 Texans, DEF
Reason: Cushing is back, I LOVE new DB., D.J. Swearinger, and J.J. Watt is a one man wrecking crew. Don't forget Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips likes to bring it!

#16 Dan Bailey, K. / Cowboys
Reason: Can make all the kicks on a team that consistently moves the chains.

*My MVP will be Peyton Manning who will lead the Bronco's to the Super Bowl and my Fantasy team to a Championship!
