2010 Fantasy Football Mock Draft

Maximum Fantasy Sports has released our fantasy football Mock Draft for the 2010 fantasy football season. We have assumed a standard starting lineup consisting of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 D/ST and a standard league scoring configuration. The configuration awards points for the following actions:

Passing: 1 point for every 25 yards, 4 points for each Touchdown and -2 for each Interception

Rushing: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points for each Touchdown and -2 for each fumble lost

Receiving: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points for each Touchdown

Kicking: 3 points for every Field Goal made and 1 point for each successful Extra Point

Defense: 2 points for every fumble covered, 2 points for every interception, 1 point for every sack, 2 points for each shutout and 2 points for each safety

The Mock Draft covers 16 rounds with 12 teams participating in the league. There are many other fantasy football configuration options that can be used, so make sure to make adjustments to the draft positions based on scoring differences found in your league before drafting your team.

			ROUND 1
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
1	12	RB	Chris Johnson	TENN	CJ has a new contract and plans to live up to it. He tasted 2k last year and wants it again.
2	1	RB	Adrian Peterson	MIN	A bit miffed about not having a new contract but will let his play do the talking…this year.
3	4	RB	Maurice Jones-Drew	JACK	The lil' dynamo handled the workload with ease last year. No reason to think he can't do it again this year.
4	44	RB	Ray Rice	BAL	Ray proved that he was The Man last year. With Flacco opening up the offense more this year, the holes to run through will be even bigger.
5	2	RB	Michael Turner	ATL	The Burner cooled off last year due to injuries. He is out to prove that he is not a One-Year Wonder.
6	11	RB	Steven Jackson	STL	SJax's spot in the Top 10 is more about respect than expected production. On such a crappy offense, he has a hard time getting into the end zone. He does get a helluva lot of carries and that will continue with a rookie QB. His body won't continue to stand up to the pounding.
7	10	RB	Frank Gore	SF	Still a bit of an injury risk but will put up better numbers as the offense expands and the passing game succeeds.
8	17	WR	Andre Johnson	HOU	A Man among boys when it comes to WRs. He now is getting *paid* so that distraction has passed. Ya just have to hope Schaub stays healthy.
9	119	RB	Rashard Mendenhall	PITT	Mendenhall will have to assume the bulk of the offense with Big Ben sidelined. He has the body type to pound the ball and put up big numbers all year.
10	16	WR	Randy Moss	NE	Moss feels like this is his last year in New England. He will want to leave on a high note since he has had great success there.
11	9	WR	Larry Fitzgerald	ARI	You definitely have to believe Leinart can get him the ball to draft Fitz this high. He still has the best hands in the game, bar none.
12	5	RB	DeAngelo Williams	CAR	The Panthers will continue to pound the ball with Williams and Stewart. Williams is the 1A option out of that backfield.
			ROUND 2
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
13	18	WR	Reggie Wayne	IND	Even with a growing stable of WR options for Manning, Wayne is still his top choice and is sought often.
14	NA	RB	Ryan Mathews	SD	Tough to draft a rookie this high, but with no "heavy hitter" to compete with for carries, this bruiser will get many carries while SD struggles with a series of #2 and #3 receivers.
15	170	RB	Shonn Greene	NYJ	Shonn displayed his skills as the season wore down last year and proved himself worthy enough for the Jets to dump his competition off on other teams.
16	22	WR	Calvin Johnson	DET	With a more confident Stafford and a few other weapons on offense, Johnson will be back to putting up elite numbers every week.
17	41	RB	Cedric Benson	CIN	After a rocky off-season, Benson needs to prove that he can produce like 2009 without the off-field troubles.
18	27	RB	Ryan Grant	GB	Often overlooked due to the Packers prolific offense, Grant increased his yards and TDs last year and should do similarly in 2010.
19	28	QB	Drew Brees	NO	Sure, the numbers didn't approach 2008 last year, but his owners didn't complain. With a healthier group of receivers this year, expect numbers to come in between 2008 and 2009.
20	38	QB	Aaron Rodgers	GB	Rodgers made a huge leap forward in confidence last year. His running totals really make him special in the fantasy football world.
21	39	QB	Peyton Manning	IND	How can you not grab Peyton when the other top QBs are flying off the board and his offense only gets better?
22	74	WR	DeSean Jackson	PHIL	You have to believe that the Eagles offense will not miss a beat under Kolb to pick up Jackson here. If you get points for return TDs, he is definitely worth the risk.
23	21	WR	Roddy White	ATL	White is quietly one of the elite wide receivers in the league. There is no reason to fear lack of press as long as you get lots of production.
24	92	RB	Jamaal Charles	KC	Charles really put on a show year when given the reigns. A LOT is being expected of him this year. You are expecting him to deliver if you draft him at this spot. I think it best to let someone else take the risk.
			ROUND 3
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
25	26	RB	Pierre Thomas	NO	Thomas looks comfortable as top rushing option in the NFL's best offense.
26	NA	WR	Sidney Rice	MINN	Rice is Brett Favre's biggest fan. Part of the salary increase offer to Favre came out of Rice's pocket since he is his meal ticket.
27	23	WR	Anquan Boldin	BAL	Joe Flacco looks like the Real Deal and Boldin has no one to take his Looks away. I am expecting HUGE things out of Boldin and getting him in the 3rd round is a steal.
28	30	WR	Brandon Marshall	MIA	Anyone who can catch 21 balls in a game when the defense knows the passes are coming his way can get open anywhere. Henne has a bigger arm that Orton, so I expect less receptions due to the running game but more yards.
29	20	WR	Greg Jennings	GB	The yards were there in 2009 but not the TDs. He needs to see the end zone more often to justify this pick.
30	3	RB	Matt Forte	CHI	Sophomore slump in 2009 or was 2008 an aberration? Worth the risk to find out at this spot.
31	NA	WR	Miles Austin	DAL	Out of nowhere in 2009. Can he repeat now that he has the expectations, the hype and the Reality TV "Star"?
32	29	WR	Marques Colston	NO	Drew loves looking Colston's way. If the big guy stays healthy, he should have a huge year.
33	NA	WR	Steve Smith	NYG	When Eli needed a "Go To" receiver, Smith answered the call. With the running game faltering, Smith should have similar numbers this year.
34	61	RB	Jonathan Stewart	CAR	Stewart is the best #1B back in the land. Over 1000 yards and double-digit TDs is what we come to expect from #1A backs. Should DeAngelo go down again, Stewart could easily hit 1500 yards.
35	NA	RB	Javid Best	DET	Best will be given the chance to solidify the number 1 back standing in The D starting in week 1. He has the talent to lock it down for a long time.
36	71	QB	Matt Schaub	HOU	2009 was about as good as you can expect from Schaub. It was his first injury-free year and it showed with monster numbers. If they can protect him again this year, he could top last year.
			ROUND 4
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
37	19	WR	Steve Smith	CAR	Smith actually put up decent numbers when playing in the NFL "Jake-Free" zone. If he heals from his flag football injury, Moore would be happy to throw his way as he did down the stretch in 2009.
38	32	QB	Tom Brady	NE	Brady is playing for his last big contract. The ass-whupping delivered by the Ravens is still fresh in the Patriots minds so expect big motivation, and big numbers, from Brady this year.
39	106	RB	LeSean McCoy	PHIL	McCoy will be given the reigns this year with the release of Westbrook. The only concern is that TD-hawking Mike Bell will be in the backfield on occasion.
40	58	TE	Dallas Clark	IND	Only Chris Farley split a seam better than Clark.
41	52	TE	Antonio Gates	SD	With no Vincent Jackson, Gates will be heavily counted on to open up the passing game this year.
42	48	RB	Joseph Addai	IND	Addai put up over 1150 and 13 TDs combined in 2009 after everyone had written him off. It may not be wise to do that again.
43	37	RB	Chris Wells	AZ	Wells will be relied on to help carry the team via the rush with Leinart at the helm.
44	98	WR	Michael Crabtree	SF	Crabtree produced almost instantly after his contract holdout last year. With a good camp, we are all expecting big numbers from him this year.
45	85	RB	Felix Jones	DAL	If Felix can stay healthy, Dallas has been itching to make him The Man, especially after they bash MBIII and Tashard Choice into the D-line a few times.
46	24	RB	Ronnie Brown	MIA	Another year, another injury for Brown. He does produce nicely when in the lineup so maaaaaaaybe he'll stay healthy this year.
47	122	RB	Ricky Williams	MIA	Ricky is focused on football and it shows. Even with a healthy Ronnie Brown, Williams will get an equal share of carries.
48	89	RB	Knowshon Moreno	DEN	Knowshon got hurt in camp but is the Broncos feature back when in the line-up, for what that's worth.
			ROUND 5
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
49	116	WR	Hakeem Nicks	NYG	Steve Smith catches more balls but Nicks is the Giants' playmaker. The Giants are a passing team now so there is plenty to go around.
50	8	RB	Brandon Jacobs	NYG	This former 1st-round pick can't stay healthy and doesn't get in the end zone enough to warrant a higher pick.
51	70	WR	Chad Johnson	CIN	I still refuse to call him "Ochocinco". If he is on my team, I will call him a point-producer though.
52	147	TE	Vernon Davis	SF	Wow, the heavy hand of Mike Singletary has straightened this kid out. Davis is a TD-machine.
53	43	QB	Tony Romo	DAL	Romo has found a new #1 WR in Miles Austin and received a top WR via the draft in Dez Bryant. They will help keep his numbers up.
54	42	QB	Philip Rivers	SD	With Vincent Jackson, Rivers doesn't have a Go-To guy other than Gates. His numbers will drop this year, though they'll still be good.
55	149	WR	Mike Sims-Walker	JACK	Walker is starting to be the #1 WR that the Jaguars expect him to be. He can still turn in an occasional goose egg though.
56	35	WR	Dwayne Bowe	KC	Bowe did so little last year that he was barely missed when suspended for 4 games. He has the talent to thrive in Charlie Weis' offense and is worth the gamble here.
57	60	WR	Hines Ward	PITT	Hines keeps producing. With the loss of Holmes, he goes back to being a #1 WR. He needs Big Ben in the lineup to maximize his value though.
58	NA	WR	Robert Meachem	NO	What a year for Meachem in 2009. It is tough to put up consistent numbers with a QB who can find 9 different receivers a game though.
59	107	WR	Percy Harvin	MINN	Harvin hasn't practiced yet but he'll produce nicely when he steps on the field this year.
60	NA	RB	C.J. Spiller	BUF	The rookie is an all-purpose back. His value is increased if kick returns are factored into your scoring. He will not be the majority ball-carrier though.
			ROUND 6
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
61	168	RB	Jerome Harrison	CLE	Harrison was a gold mine for those who had him down the stretch last year. One has to wonder if he'll be the focus RB with Montario Hardesty looming. Regardless, with Delhomme at QB, methinks there will be plenty of carries to go around.
62	82	TE	Tony Gonzalez	ATL	Tony G is definitely the number 2 receiving option in Atlanta and will get many, many passes thrown in his directions….again.
63	50	TE	Jason Witten	DAL	Where were the TDs last year? Two TDs should keep you out of the top 5 at any position. He is solid in PPR leagues though.
64	33	WR	T.J. Houshmandzadeh	SEA	Housh is another player who saw little time in the end zone. Is he done with or was it a matter of Hasselbeck not being healthy? Take your chances.
65	158	DEF	New York Jets	NYJ	The league's best defense became better in the off-season, though they still have the Revis contract issue hanging over them. They'll be ok without him.
66	NA	WR	Pierre Garcon	IND	What a find Garcon was last year. He proved himself enough to become a regular in the Manning pass distribution system.
67	NA	WR	Mike Wallace	PITT	Wallace proved himself to be a true deep threat last year. With Holmes out of the equation, he should be targeted more often.
68	NA	RB	Arian Foster	HOU	Foster was our prime Sleeper candidate for 2010 but has been thrust into the limelight by Ben Tate's injury and Steve Slaton's return from injury. He looked very good in limited time last season.
69	101	RB	Ahmad Bradshaw	NYG	Bradshaw managed 7 TDs last year. He fits in as a nice complement in the backfield to Brandon Jacobs and is a much better swing-pass option for Manning. Definitely a #3 RB on your team though.
70	181	TE	Brett Celek	PHIL	Also 1000 yards and 8 TDs last year from Celek proved our Sleeper label correct. Should approach similar numbers this year.
71	84	RB	Fred Jackson	BUF	Fred did a nice job for the Bills last year. He starts off the season with a hand injury and has do-it-all C.J. Spiller to contend with. Not ideal circumstances.
72	NA	RB	Carnell Williams	TB	Cadillac bounced back last year after a knee injury in 2008 and looked pretty good at times. Another year of recovery should help produce decent numbers, even if he is on a bad team.
			ROUND 7
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
73	15	RB	Marion Barber III	DAL	MB III will not be getting 25 carries a game, but should be good for 12-15 and will get the goal-line opportunities.
74	46	RB	Reggie Bush	NO	The Kardashian connection is over with so maybe he can focus on football and produce plays like he is capable of, though most will come from a receiving position.
75	80	RB	Donald Brown	IND	Joseph Addai showed serious motivation from Brown's presence and produced a huge season. It seems that Brown is a number 2 back for now while Addai is healthy.
76	NA	QB	Brett Favre	MINN	Come on, you know he's coming back.
77	117	QB	Eli Manning	NYG	The Giants are a passing team now and actually have a stable of talented receivers. The front office is so dedicated to making Eli become Peyton that they lured Peyton's perennial backup to the team.
78	NA	RB	Michael Bush	OAK	Eventually, someone for Oakland will assume the lead RB position. Bush seems to be ready to do that.
79	57	RB	Darren McFadden	OAK	One would think McFadden would be the clear-cut number 1 back in Oakland but has done nothing since college to earn it.
80	55	WR	Santana Moss	WASH	If Moss has enough left in the tank, one could easily see him running DeSean Jackson's routes for McNabb.
81	NA	WR	Jeremy Maclin	PHIL	Maclin should be much more productive in the Eagles' offense this year.
82	NA	TE	Jermichael Finley	GB	Finley is the most athletic tight end in the league and will be better and more productive this year. A monster for a defense to cover.
83	105	WR	Donald Driver	GB	Driver keeps plugging along with no end in sight.
84	134	TE	Zach Miller	OAK	Miller should be much more consistent and productive with Jason Campbell running the team. Look for Chris Cooley-2008-type production.
			ROUND 8
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
85	56	WR	Lee Evans	BUF	With no TO on the team, there are less distractions for Evans, but will that mean better or worse production? Always a gamble with Bills players.
86	40	WR	Vincent Jackson	SD	VJ wants to get PAID. Who cares about winning games? Will his holdout reward those that draft him like it did drafting Brandon Marshall last year or will he assume a valuable spot on the bench?
87	54	WR	Santonio Holmes	NYJ	Santana has an extra four weeks to get familiar with the NYC train lines since he is required to sit during his suspension.
88	93	QB	Jay Cutler	CHI	Cutler completed WAY too many passes to the opposition last year. Will Mike Martz and a year of working with his receivers help? The Magic 8-ball sez "Yes"!
89	36	WR	Wes Welker	NE	Welker is attempting a very rapid return from his knee injury, which is not always the best idea.
90	148	QB	Joe Flacco	BAL	Flacco's first half of 2009 was outstanding. His second half was pedestrian. I think he puts a whole year together in 2010.
91	NA	QB	Kevin Kolb	PHIL	Kolb looked very comfortable stepping into Andy Reid's system last year. After being anointed the full-time starter for 2010, he is more more aware of all the nuances and I expect a very nice year outta him.
92	91	QB	Matt Ryan	ATL	Ryan fought injuries in 2009 and his numbers suffered. He will have a much better season while healthy this year.
93	95	WR	Devin Hester	CHI	Hester should continue to improve his pass route running and increase his numbers this year.
94	NA	WR	Devin Aromashodu	CHI	One of our Sleepers for 2010. He hit a nice stride with Cutler in the last 4 games of 2009 to build on for this year.
95	NA	RB	Montario Hardesty	CLE	Once he gets healthy, expect him to equally share the load with Jerome Harrison.
96	127	DEF	Baltimore Ravens	BAL	The Ravens are still without Ed Reed but have added some nice pieces in the off-season to still be a force.
			ROUND 9
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
97	115	DEF	Minnesota Vikings	MINN	The Vikings' D seems to have a nose for the end zone.
98	NA	DEF	Green Bay Packers	GB	The Pack's talented defense lead the league in turnovers and even managed to take four back for scores.
99	13	RB	Clinton Portis	WASH	Portis is coming off an injury though he wasn't performing before getting hurt. He is worth the risk at this position though.
100	NA	WR	Dez Bryant	DAL	The kid is brash and talented. Should beat Roy Williams out for the #2 WR spot when back on the field after injury.
101	111	TE	Kellen Winslow II	TB	Winslow has turned in good numbers, including 900 yards and 5 scores last year, but his best year lies ahead.
102	47	QB	Donovan McNabb	WASH	McNabb steps down in WR talent but steps up in motivation. He should still put up decent numbers this year.
103	NA	RB	Justin Forsett	SEA	One of our RB Sleepers for 2010. He is the best running back on the team and I expect Pete Carroll to involve him much more than Holmgren did last year.
104	87	RB	Darren Sproles	SD	Sproles returns to his role as a 3rd-down back and kick returner, though he thrives in those roles.
105	59	RB	Thomas Jones	KC	Written off each and every year and considerably exceeds all expectations. He will do it again this year so grab him if anywhere around this spot.
106	49	WR	Antonio Bryant	CIN	Bryant did little last year for a very bad Bucs team. He moves to Cincy and gets a chance to approach his 2008 numbers.
107	123	RB	Tim Hightower	AZ	Hightower is not "the" running back of the future for the Cardinals, but will get the ball around the goal line and will see more action if Wells' ankle injury lingers.
108	7	RB	LaDainian Tomlinson	SD	Though the TD numbers were nice last year, LT found the fantasy football cliff and fell off of it. He is a part-timer now.
			ROUND 10
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
109	NA	WR	Austin Collie	IND	Another huge "find" for the Colts offense last year. Collie will have some down weeks during the year but being part of Peyton's pass rotation is very nice for him.
110	NA	WR	Johnny Knox	CHI	Who doesn't love a TD per week for about half the season last year? Knox is blazing fast and will put up numbers like 2009 again this year.
111	178	RB	Laurence Maroney	NE	The best of the worst RB-by-committee situations in the NFL.
112	NA	WR	Mario Manningham	NYG	Eli will be throwing 30+ times a game again this year and Mario will have great numbers for a #3 WR.
113	77	WR	Steve Breaston	AZ	No Boldin so Breaston gets the #2 WR slot. Unfortunately, he rarely sees the end zone and now has Leinart throwing the ball.
114	NA	WR	Demaryius Thomas	DEN	Thomas was poised to step into Brandon Marshall's shoes. Unfortunately, they won't fit too well until he recovers from his ankle injury.
115	188	WR	Nate Burleson	DET	Matthew Stafford will be better this year and Burleson will be a single-covered option across from Calvin Johnson so he could have a really big year.
116	86	TE	Greg Olsen	CHI	There are too many WRs in Chicago to contend with and too many consistent producers at the TE spot to take a chance on Olsen.
117	90	RB	Julius Jones	SEA	JJ always seems to be one step away from being without a job. The realization of that occurs this season.
118	64	WR	Donnie Avery	STL	Avery was a HUGE disappointment last year after flashes of productivity in 2008. He is still the top WR on the Rams, for what that's worth.
119	83	QB	Ben Roethlisberger	PITT	He is out 4-6 weeks and is one more infraction from being out for the season. Getting him at this point as your backup QB is a steal though.
120	NA	WR	Kenny Britt	TENN	Britt will produce much better numbers this year with a confident Vince Young at the helm all season.
			ROUND 11
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
121	NA	TE	Visanthe Shiancoe	MINN	All Shiancoe does is catch TDs, which is a good thing for tight ends. Favre will be back and utilize Shiancoe in the same fashion again this year.
122	63	WR	Bernard Berrian	MINN	Was signed as the number 1 receiver a few years back and has been usurped by Sidney Rice. Not a bad number 3 or 4 receiver on a fantasy team though.
123	NA	WR	Malcolm Floyd	SD	The longer Vincent Jackson is out, the more valuable Malcolm Floyd becomes.
124	66	WR	Jerrico Cotchery	NYJ	Cotchery may be a #2B receiving option on a team that likes to win with defense and running the ball.
125	53	WR	Braylon Edwards	NYJ	Edwards may be a #2A receiving option on a team that likes to win with defense and running the ball.
126	182	WR	Devery Henderson	NO	Henderson took a huge step forward in 2009 and became more of just a deep option for Brees and the Saints. He is still that threat but gets involved in more plays and can be a nice option as your every week third receiver.
127	108	WR	Chris Chambers	KC	Chris Chambers could be a steal at this spot if Matt Cassel actually has time to throw.
128	102	TE	Owen Daniels	HOU	Daniels slips due to his return from injury. Should he be back to 100%, he returns as the second receiving preference of Schaub and has a great year.
129	NA	WR	Golden Tate	SEA	Tate is an extremely talent receiver and is definitely worth taking a chance on at this spot even though he is a rookie.
130	138	WR	Derrick Mason	BAL	Mason is purely a possession receiver in the twilight of his career. He is not an every week starter any more.
131	118	RB	Willis McGahee	BAL	McGahee is an obvious handcuff to Ray Rice but also seems to get enough carries, especially around the goal line, to be a starting option in thin leagues.
132	136	TE	John Carlson	SEA	John Carlson is a TD-machine…probably due to the team's lack of running back punch inside the 10-yard line. He should duplicate or improve on his 2009 numbers.
			ROUND 12
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
133	81	TE	Chris Cooley	WASH	Cooley is coming off an injury but returns to find a new QB that loves throwing to tight ends. So, expect a return to 2008 numbers.
134	165	WR	Nate Washington	TENN	The Titans have never been about the passing game but a confident Vince Young may help Washington earn his contract against defenses stacked to stop Chris Johnson.
135	152	DEF	Philadelphia Eagles	PHIL	The Eagles quietly had the 5th best defensive points last season.
136	99	DEF	Pittsburgh Steelers	PITT	The Steelers are a far cry from the talent of 2008's Super Bowl team. A solid option, but not a squad that is elite any longer.
137	128	DEF	Dallas Cowboys	DAL	The Cowboys D was excellent at holding down opponent scoring last year but needs to generate more turnovers, particularly INTs.
138	154	TE	Heath Miller	PITT	Miller had a very nice year last year and I expect better numbers this year with Ward getting older and Holmes out the door. He is the reason why you can wait to pick up a tight end towards the end of your draft.
139	NA	RB	Toby Gerhart	MINN	The obvious handcuff to AP, but could scratch out some points at the goal line with his size.
140	173	TE	Brandon Pettigrew	DET	Pettigrew ended up the year on the IR but showed that he is a solid TE option and should get better every year.
141	NA	DEF	San Francisco 49ers	SF	The Niners could be the surprise defense of the year. Watch out for these guys this year.
142	NA	DEF	Cincinnati Bengals	CIN	The Bengals are another defense that is flying under the radar.
143	72	QB	Carson Palmer	CIN	Palmer looked very rusty last year. He has more weapons this year and is well worth a risk as a backup if you have one of the top-5 QBs.
144	97	TE	Dustin Keller	NYJ	Keller occasionally puts up goose eggs, but has proven to be one of Sanchez's favorite targets, particularly in the Red Zone.
			ROUND 13
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
145	34	RB	Kevin Smith	DET	Detroit opted for Javid Best in this year's draft, which is not a show of confidence for Smith after his knee injury. He is worth the risk at this spot, especially if you already have Best.
146	NA	WR	Louis Murphy	OAK	Murphy showed that he had talent when given the chance last year. With a better QB at the helm, he could be a real steal this late in the draft.
147	69	WR	Kevin Walter	HOU	Walter really disappointed last year and seems to be in a position to drop to the 4th receiving option on the Texans.
148	51	WR	Roy Williams	DAL	Williams really disappointed last year and seems to be in a position to drop to the 4th receiving option on the Cowboys.
149	156	TE	Kevin Boss	NYG	Boss is worth picking up in a TD-only league or as a backup TE.
150	NA	RB	Tashard Choice	DAL	Based on his activity the past two years, Choice is worthy of drafting even as the 3rd RB in Dallas.
151	NA	WR	Jacoby Jones	HOU	Jones hasn't done much the first two years in the league but the third year seems to be the break out year for young receivers and he may end up starting opposite Andre Johnson.
152	NA	DEF	Indianapolis Colts	IND	The Colts' D seems to improve a little bit each year.
153	109	DEF	New York Giants	NYG	Umenyiora and the defense aim to stay healthy this year and shave about 100 points off their Points Against number.
164	NA	WR	Dexter McCluster	KC	McCluster is small but can be used in a variety of plays for the Chiefs to generate big plays.
165	132	QB	Kyle Orton	DEN	Orton had very nice numbers for the Broncos last year but lost Brandon Marshall. With no Marshall, he has rookie receivers to throw to and fan-favorite Tim Tebow to look over his shoulder at should the season start rough.
166	167	DEF	Chicago Bears	CHI	Julius Peppers takes the whole defense up a notch. If Urlacher finds some youth and the secondary stays injury-free, a revival will be afoot in the Windy City.
			ROUND 14
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
157	151	DEF	Miami Dolphins	DEF	Never dismiss a Parcells' defense.
158	75	RB	Marshawn Lynch	BUF	A pre-season missed due to a sprained ankle is not the way to get back to the top of the depth chart.
159	160	RB	Chester Taylor	CHI	A MUST handcuff to Matt Forte. Beyond that, I would not be surprised to see the Bears use him far more than the Vikings did the past two years.
160	NA	QB	Chad Henne	MIA	Henne will be a very nice pick at this spot, even though the Fins run a lot. With a year under his belt and Anquan Boldin on the team, Parcells should unleash his big arm much more this year.
161	NA	QB	Vince Young	TENN	VY found the confidence in his game again and almost pulled a miracle turnaround in Music City to get the Titans into the playoffs. He, like Henne, could be a huge boost at this spot for anyone waiting past the top-5 QBs to get a potential Sleeper.
162	NA	WR	Julius Edelman	NE	Edelman looked very comfortable running Welker's routes at the end of last season. Even if Welker starts the season, no way this kid sits and watches again.
163	14	RB	Steve Slaton	HOU	Slaton has plummeted down the ranks since coming off a fumble-prone and injury-filled 2009. Definitely worth a pick if still down this far.
164	NA	DEF	Atlanta Falcons	ATL	Atlanta made great strides in improving their defense from last year. This is another team to watch out for, especially at this position.
165	169	DEF	New England Patriots	NE	Their defense is constantly moving new faces in to replace old ones. However, I am not sold this year and would grab a D before taking a chance on the Pats.
166	88	RB	Correll Buckhalter	DEN	Denver would love Knowshon Moreno to be their #1 back but may be too fragile. However, Buckhalter has also been dinged up too so he could get lost in a Raiders-like backfield this year.
167	161	K	Steve Gostkowski	NE	With no real running game, Gostkowski could be in line for many field goals.
168	NA	K	Garrett Hartley	NO	After Hartley took over for Carney last year, he proved to be yet another weapon for the Saints.
			ROUND 15
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
169	NA	WR	Arrelious Benn	TB	This kid could be a big-time Sleeper. Juice Williams brought his college career to a halt. Josh Freeman could make him a fantasy star this year.
170	163	K	Nate Keading	SD	Keading put up the most points in the league last year.
171	174	K	Mason Crosby	GB	Crosby is definitely a young star in the kicking world.
172	162	K	Rob Bironas	TENN	Another rock solid year for Bironas can be expected.
173	NA	QB	Matthew Stafford	DET	Stafford proved that he could adjust to the NFL rapidly. With better weapons on offense this year, he is certainly worth putting on your bench.
174	184	K	Ryan Longwell	MINN	Longwell keeps right on going year in and year out.
175	NA	WR	Legedu Naanee	SD	Rivers loves to throw and Naanee will get 3rd receiver Looks while Vincent Jackson is out.
176	NA	WR	Brandon LaFell	CAR	Carolina should be able to throw the ball better with Delhomme off the team. LaFell is a much better receiver than Dwayne Jarrett and will surprise people this year so get him here.
177	129	RB	Jerious Norwood	ATL	Atlanta knows that a committee approach is the best way not to overwork the three solid RBs on the roster.
178	143	RB	Fred Taylor	NE	Fred has had a good camp, but is in the mix with four other RBs so he can't be counted on often.
179	NA	QB	Mark Sanchez	NYJ	Sanchise efficiently managed the team last year and has better receivers to work with this year as Coach Ryan relaxes the reigns on the offense a wee bit.
180	183	RB	Glen Coffee	SF	Coffee proved to be a capable back when filling in for Gore in 2009. He will see 8-10 carries a game this year.
			ROUND 16
2010	2009	Pos	Player	Team	Comment
181	NA	K	Lawrence Tynes	NYG	With the Giant offense putting points on the board, Tynes is one of the better point producers.
182	NA	K	Matt Prater	DEN	Prater has a big leg and gets extra distance in the Mile High City.
183	NA	K	Jeff Reed	PITT	Reed doesn't have the strongest leg but is very accurate.
184	NA	K	Sebastian Janikowski	OAK	Janikowski can get into a funk at times but has the strongest leg in the league.
185	NA	WR	Chaz Schilens	OAK	Schilens could reap the benefits of adding Jason Campbell just as easily as Murphy.
186	NA	WR	Mohamed Massaquoi	CLE	The Browns will have to throw at some point this year and Massaquoi actually has the skills to assume the #1 WR role. He could also bust. With this pick, it is worth the gamble.
187	175	K	John Kasay	CAR	Kasay's FG opportunities dropped with Carolina's season last year. Both should see a rebound this year.
188	NA	WR	Devin Thomas	WASH	It is make-or-break time for Thomas. He has the size to make a difference in this offense.
189	172	K	David Akers	PHIL	Can still hit the bomb and gets plenty of opportunities.
190	NA	K	Ryan Succop	KC	Succop was actually a pleasant surprise in the kicking world last season.
191	191	K	Robbie Gould	CHI	Gould is a good as you can expect along the lake shore.
192	192	WR	Laurent Robinson	STL	If the Rams' passing game is successful, Avery won't be the only one catching balls.
			Notable Omissions
2010	2009	Pos	Player		Comment
	6	RB	Brian Westbrook	SF	Westbrook just signed for the Niners. I find it hard to believe he couldn't catch on with a team where he could get more involved in the offense. Behind Gore and Coffee, I don't envision much activity at all.
	31	QB	Kurt Warner		Warner decided to retire while he was near the top of his game, numbers-wise. Not often do you see the meteoric rise, fall and then rise again within any QB's career.
	25	WR	Terrell Owens	CIN	TO finally caught on with a team this year. He may match Chad Johnson in antics but I have my doubts that he will in productivity.
	45	RB	Willie Parker	WASH	Fast Willie has slowed to a crawl and is listed on the very end of the roster for the Skins. He may not make the final cut.
	67	RB	Larry Johnson	WASH	LJ played his way out of KC. He should have something left in the tank if he gets a shot in DC.
	113	WR	Isaac Bruce	STL	Bruce retired after a spectacular career.
	96	WR	Torry Holt	NE	Holt hoped signing with the Pats would give him one last shot at glory. Hitting the IR before the season started was not what he envisioned as his path to success.
	79	RB	Jamal Lewis	CLE	Unfortunately, Lewis ended his career by being injured. He deserved a better finale.
