Fantasy Football Mock Drafts

I wanted to avoid the RB-RB start; so I drafted out of Slot 2 today, this time trying the FantasyPros.com Live Mock Draft, 10 teams, PPR. I didn't feel this draft went as well as previous drafts, as I was stumped finding a player I wanted for many of the rounds and felt like I was drafting players I knew at above their ADP values. FantasyPros still gave me a B+ grade (867 score, 87/100) with a projected 4th place finish. 1.02 Cee Dee Lamb WR (DAL) I think Cee Dee Lamb is the #2 value. FantasyPros analysis suggested I should have picked Bijan here and claims it would have given me a A grade had I done so. 2.09 Ashton Jeanty RB  (OAK) This is a full round after Christian McCaffrey, and I think there's probably a 50/50 chance of one finishing higher than the other. Derrick Henry went 2.10 and Kyren Williams went 3.01. Surely Jeanty has to be more valuable than those two. 3.02 Trey McBride TE  (ARI) I've now drafted McBride in the 3rd round in all four mock drafts, but I think ...

Okay, one more draft today. This time on NFL.com (because one of my leagues uses this site). I picked in slot 5, but this draft ran very similar to the one where I picked from slot 9 earlier on Yahoo. It also looks like this site does not give a draft grade. 1.05 Saquon Barkley RB  (PHI) Well, I heard today that the Philly defense is returning nearly all of its starters in a Vic Fangio scheme that took a half season to come together last year. So, that could mean that the defense will be even better this year? So even more running out the clock by the RB? Lamb is rated higher on this site; so he actually went 1.02 after Chase. 2.06 Ashton Jeanty RB  (OAK) Okay, two drafts in a row where I start RB-RB. It seemed like too good a value to pass up here, but I was going to regret not getting a WR with one of the first picks later. 3.05 Trey McBride TE  (ARI) I was prepared to take McConkey, but he went with 3.04. I wished now that I had taken a receiver earlier, as I don't lik...

Okay, I need to start doing Daily Mock Drafts again. Today, I decided to do a Yahoo Live Mock Draft. I clicked on position 8, and it gave me position 9. I still haven't done any draft planning yet. I think I'll try to draft from each slot at least once before I start building position tiers or doing any stat analysis. It looks like Yahoo doesn't give grades for Mock Drafts. I'm reasonably happy with how this one turned out. 1.09 Christian McCaffrey RB  (bye 14). Yahoo was suggesting Malik Nabers here. As much as I like Nabers (who led me to a Fantasy Championship last year), his quarterback play is questionable, and he's dealing with at least two injuries. I'd prefer Nico Collins. But, I would have taken CeeDee Lamb here, but he went with Pick 8. McCaffrey has the capability of being the #1 Fantasy star overall; so I think he's the right pick here. 2.02 De'Von Achane RB  (bye 12). With Jonnu Smith gone, Achane seems lined up for a huge workload in the pa...
