It's a no brainer for the first 4. T squared has the 5 spot and it will boil down to the magazine or the print out from the ESPN website when he drafts. It's been a toss up between Gore, Johnson, and Turner from what I've seen. Since this is my mock, I'll say that he goes w/ Gore. If there's something more powerful than the curse of 370 carries, it's Vish's weird magical bizarro fantasy karma. You can't stop it, you can only hope to contain it. Shen takes the most consistent production from a winning team. You might argue that he could be there for Shen in round 2 but I doubt it given Fitz's dropping stock. I originally had Sho going back to back WR w/ his first picks but Fitz aka the Cardinals QB can't be trusted w/ this high a pick. Rodgers offers the best value and I'm pretty sure that Sho's website agrees.

It's a wide receiver fantasy world and we're just living in it. RBBC and our league's flex use of WR/TE drives this round. Vish goes w/ Desean in a win/win situation. If Desean explodes, he wins. If Desean implodes, he can say how Cal sucks over and over again. Shen will pipe in about how he can't draft a Cal player b/c of being burned by Gonzo in the past. Tim goes back to his roots.

The last of the upper tier QB's go here. Josh balances his love for his Cowboys w/ what he sees on TV and takes Schaub. Shen drafts a Longhorn for Bridget. We'll see how that works out. He'll also take Toby for his Cardinal somewhere in round 13. Sho takes Tebow at about the same time.

The TE's start here as Ash goes w/ an old favorite. The rest of the RB's go here. VDW buys into his Lions revitalized offensive attack. Cliff gets his heart broken as Vish snags Arian Foster 1 spot before his pick. The words "damn Vish" are echoed in the Buffalo Wild Wings.Foster was a sleeper until Ben Tate got knocked out for the season 2 weeks ago. If we didn't have the H town contingent, there might have been a chance that he lasted till the 5th.This puts Cliff in an interesting dilemma. He could bypass on Brees in round 2 and take a WR which means that he could go w/ his heart and take Foster in the early part of round 3. It all depends on how he feels w/ his choice of Desean, Rodney, or B Marshall to go w/ S Jax and Adrian Foster but w/ a question mark a QB. Or does he feel better w/ SJax, Brees and his choice of the Steve Smiths or Boldin but no hometown Foster.

The last of the next tier QB's go off the board. Vish uses his "inside" information to take Malcolm Floyd and hopes that no one knows legedee nanunanu. Sho goes old ass receiver and his name isn't Santana. I say that Cliff takes Hakeem Nicks in the hope that another Hakeem can lead his team to greatness again.

There are question marks listed b/c I envision Josh and Cliff making their picks w/ the inflection at the end which shows how you can sway them a certain way depending on how much of an ass I decide to be when they are about to make their picks. There are actually quite a few great value picks in this round due to the run on QB's and WR's. This is the round where people have to make some tough decisions when the piece of paper in front of them doesn't match their needs based on unfilled starting positions. Do you reach for a Santana Moss at the end of round 6 or start to get back ups for your RB's.

Sho sweats it out and he gets his TE and homeboy in Cooley. He smiles w/ joy for the value and hometown love. Josh goes w/another Cowboy and realizes that at this point in time, the high ceiling of Felix as his 3rd RB is more important than the more consistent touches of Barber. Shen goes w/ Matty Ice and gets an unspectacular but steady amount of weekly points. I make my first reach in Dez.

Shen steals Sho's plan of taking Big Ben and having another QB take him through the first 4 weeks of the season. The only problem w/ this strategy is not picking a 3rd RB until round 9 which leaves you very susceptible to a Cedric Benson over usage injury. B2 is a trendy pick these days due to Sidney Rice's hip surgery. Santonio Holmes could be substituted for many of the last WR's taken but it's been hard for me to get his value due to his suspension and my lack of confidence in Mark Sanchize right now. You all know my thoughts/feelings towards Braylon. Roy Williams is another player that's hard for me to gauge due to the eventual arrival of Dez and the lack of fluidity in the Cows starting offense in the preseason. Less Evans is still less.
8 rounds of mock draft and analysis for you suckerducks. I hope you all appreciate it and realize that I'm also using Jedi mind tricks half of the time. We'll see who the weak minded are in a little more than a week. Next week's Wednesday at 6pm Dallas time. We'll use google messenger. Sho, Cliff and I will be at the Buffalo Wild Wings up in Addison. Good luck to our Vegas crew. "Let's make some money" is code for Vish is about to clean up. Krotchua, don't drink and play no limit
poker. Bleemia, I'll text you if I can figure out some good bets. Tim, if you are doing our alma matter bets again, thanks. I'll have to figure out what Cal can do.
Created while heading back to Dallas in the new Toyota Highlander. So far, no sticky brakes. I hope that the adjustment period won't be too long from my 2 door honda civic to what's a tank for me. I can see the road in front of me now but I'm getting used to the much longer turning radius. I looked at the espn auction for free agent ability. As much as Krotchua would love it, I don't think that we can do it b/c it processes claims on the next day that's been set. This means that you can't make a pick up on game day when you find out that Knowshon pulled a hamstring in warm ups and your back ups are on a bye. Konichiwa beeatches!!!
