2014 Fantasy Football Mock Draft

When it comes to fantasy football drafts, I am always amused when people start producing mock drafts well in advance of Labor Day weekend. There are too many unknowns due to injuries, position battles and stupidity to make them worthwhile. I suppose if you are in a league that mandates that you draft weeks before the season starts, it makes sense but, even that cracks me up. If it is a league for fun, go crazy. However, most of us have a vested financial interest in how our team does and I sure as hell don’t want any of my top picks missing time due to non-regular season injury or off-the-field issue. It is pretty interesting to see the shift in average draft position in the weeks leading up to the season. Players like Steven Ridley and Cam Newton have cratered and players like James White and Emmanuel Sanders have shot up.

Mock drafts can vary greatly depending on the scoring system, especially when using Points Per Reception, and whether or not the league is a redraft league or a dynasty league. For our purposes, this is a standard fantasy football league scoring system for a redraft league.

This assumes a starting roster of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 D/ST. Points would be awarded 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 each fumble recovered, 2 points for each interception, 1 point for each sack, 2 points for a shutout and 2 points for a safety

Round 1

1 Jamaal Charles, KC
2 LeSean McCoy, PHI
3 Adrian Peterson, MIN
4 Eddie Lacy, GB
5 Matt Forte, CHI
6 Jimmy Graham, NO
7 Marshawn Lynch, SEA
8 Calvin Johnson, DET
9 Demaryius Thomas, DEN
10 Montee Ball, DEN
11 A.J. Green, CIN
12 Peyton Manning, DEN

Evaluation: Having one of the top 5 picks is easy since you could make a case for any of those running backs. After that, it is a bit sketchy as there is great depth at tight end and quarterback this year. It is nice to think about a team with Jimmy Graham or Peyton Manning on it, but I would prefer a running back to start my team off and build around.

Round 2

13 DeMarco Murray, DAL
14 Brandon Marshall, CHI
15 Dez Bryant, DAL
16 Andre Ellington, ARI
17 Zac Stacy, STL
18 Drew Brees, NO
19 Giovani Bernard, CIN
20 Alshon Jeffery, CHI
21 Doug Martin, TB
22 Le'Veon Bell, PIT
23 Aaron Rodgers, GB
24 Ryan Mathews, SD

Evaluation: Decision time in round 2. Should you go traditional and get a second RB or is it best to get one good RB and one good WR? I think that there is great depth at WR this year and recommend that you get 2 solid RBs.  

Round 3

25 Julio Jones, ATL
26 Jordy Nelson, GB
27 Antonio Brown, PIT
28 Randall Cobb, GB
29 Alfred Morris, WAS
30 Arian Foster, HOU
31 Julius Thomas, DEN
32 Andrew Luck, IND
33 Rashad Jennings, NYG
34 Toby Gerhart, JAC
35 Victor Cruz, NYG
36 Reggie Bush, DET

Evaluation: If you grabbed two RBs already, you definitely need to grab a WR in round 3.  If you split them, I recommend grabbing that second RB. If you grabbed Peyton, Brees or Rodgers, you need to balance out your team in this round as the tiers begin to fall off from here.

Round 4

37 Vincent Jackson, TB
38 Rob Gronkowski, NE
39 Andre Johnson, HOU
40 Matthew Stafford, DET
41 Keenan Allen, SD
42 Frank Gore, SF
43 DeSean Jackson, WAS
44 Michael Floyd, ARI
45 Pierre Garcon, WAS
46 Roddy White, ATL
47 Chris Johnson, NYJ
48 T.Y. Hilton, IND

Evaluation: Questions abound in round 4 due to direct or indirect health issues. Stafford should have a big year, but I really like Kennan Allen at this spot.

Round 5

49 Larry Fitzgerald, ARI
50 Ben Tate, CLE
51 Torrey Smith, BAL
52 Steven Jackson, ATL
53 C.J. Spiller, BUF
54 Jordan Cameron, CLE
55 Cordarrelle Patterson, MIN
56 Reggie Wayne, IND
57 Fred Jackson, BUF
58 Shane Vereen, NE
59 Marques Colston, NO
60 Percy Harvin, SEA

Evaluation: If you thought round 4 was tough, round 5 is even more difficult. There are a handful of players with very high upside here, such as Cordarrelle and C.J., but I like Cameron quite a bit since Cleveland has the absolute worst WRs ever lined up in professional football.

Round 6

61 Julian Edelman, NE
62 Jeremy Maclin, PHI
63 Eric Decker, NYJ
64 Colin Kaepernick, SF
65 Vernon Davis, SF
66 Wes Welker, DEN
67 Emmanuel Sanders, DEN
68 Trent Richardson, IND
69 Tom Brady, NE
70 Joique Bell, DET
71 Golden Tate, DET
72 Bishop Sankey, TEN

Evaluation: Tom Brady in round 6? It has been a long time since we have seen anything resembling this. I still think I would pass and grab Ryan, Rivers or Cutler in one of the next 3 rounds. I like Sanders if I want a WR here or Bell if I want a RB. He had great numbers last year, even in a split role. That role should continue this year with him getting the red zone work. Plus, Reggie isn’t Mr. Durability.

Round 7

73 Matt Ryan, ATL
74 Jason Witten, DAL
75 Mike Wallace, MIA
76 Kendall Wright, TEN
77 Terrance Williams, DAL
78 Michael Crabtree, SF
79 Ray Rice, BAL
80 Maurice Jones-Drew, OAK
81 Knowshon Moreno, MIA
82 Riley Cooper, PHI
83 Darren McFadden, OAK
84 Nick Foles, PHI

Evaluation: There is a lot of value in this round. I like Mike Wallace to have a solid year with Tannehill growing into his position. Matty Ice has his weapons back. Moreno should assume the #1 RB spot within a few weeks. Cooper, Williams and Wright will all have solid numbers. Enjoy this round as it won’t be this easy for a few rounds.

Round 8

85 Sammy Watkins, BUF
86 Russell Wilson, SEA
87 Stevan Ridley, NE
88 Pierre Thomas, NO
89 Tony Romo, DAL
90 Lamar Miller, MIA
91 Cam Newton, CAR
92 Brandin Cooks, NO
93 Cecil Shorts, JAC
94 Philip Rivers, SD
95 Dwayne Bowe, KC
96 Terrance West, CLE

Evaluation: LOADS of questionable picks here. If you need a QB, Rivers is a must-pick now. I trust Cooks and West as rookies more than Watkins but I would leave Cam and Ridley alone here. Bowe could be a value pick here since KC has no receivers past him.

Round 9

97 Dennis Pitta, BAL
98 Carlos Hyde, SF
99 DeAndre Hopkins, HOU
100 Kyle Rudolph, MIN
101 Jay Cutler, CHI
102 Robert Griffin III, WAS
103 Shonn Greene, TEN
104 Bernard Pierce, BAL
105 Kelvin Benjamin, CAR
106 Greg Olsen, CAR
107 Darren Sproles, PHI
108 Anquan Boldin, SF

Evaluation: This round is a mixture of good and bad. The ceiling on Cutler is sky-high this season but the threat of injury is always sky high with him. Kyle Rudolph should be a solid pick now as is Olsen. Lots of upside with Benjamin, Pitta and Hopkins.

Round 10

109 Jordan Reed, WAS
110 Jeremy Hill, CIN
111 DeAngelo Williams, CAR
112 Danny Woodhead, SD
113 Hakeem Nicks, IND
114 Justin Hunter, TEN
115 James White, NE
116 Martellus Bennett, CHI
117 Mark Ingram, NO
118 Danny Amendola, NE
119 James Jones, OAK
120 Jonathan Stewart, CAR

Evaluation: I have been fooled by Stewart, Amendola and Nicks enough to stay away. There is a lot of value in Hunter, White, Jones and Ingram in this round. Hill should see a nice split of action with Bernard as will Reed and Bennett on teams with lots of other options.

Round 11

121 Greg Jennings, MIN
122 Christine Michael, SEA
123 Marqise Lee, JAC
124 Ben Roethlisberger, PIT
125 Zach Ertz, PHI
126 Tre Mason, STL
127 Jordan Matthews, PHI
128 Mike Evans, TB
129 Markus Wheaton, PIT
130 Donald Brown, SD
131 LeGarrette Blount, PIT
132 Steve Smith, BAL

Evaluation: Just when you would expect to be dragging the bottom of the barrel, you will find happiness in a lot of WR options here. This round epitomizes why I stressed a run on RBs early. Lee and Matthews could end up being the primary receiving options on their respective teams. Wheaton, Smith and Evans may also put up significant numbers as should Ertz at the TE position.

Round 12

133 Devonta Freeman, ATL
134 Ladarius Green, SD
135 Andy Dalton, CIN
136 Andre Williams, NYG
137 James Starks, GB
138 Knile Davis, KC
139 Khiry Robinson, NO
140 Rueben Randle, NYG
141 C.J. Anderson, DEN
142 Carson Palmer, ARI
143 Tavon Austin, STL
144 Seattle Seahawks D/ST

Evaluation: Hello Handcuffs! It is always a good idea to back up your studs RBs if they have talented backups. That is the majority of this round. There is always one team that considers themselves smart by choosing the top defense before the inevitable late run. I suppose I can support that over a backup QB.

Round 13

145 Brandon LaFell, NE
146 Josh McCown, TB
147 Ronnie Hillman, DEN
148 Doug Baldwin, SEA
149 Joe Flacco, BAL
150 Jerricho Cotchery, CAR
151 Charles Clay, MIA
152 Kenny Stills, NO
153 Mike James, TB
154 Mike Williams, BUF
164 San Francisco 49ers D/ST
155 Ahmad Bradshaw, IND
156 Ryan Tannehill, MIA

Evaluation: As mentioned in Round 11, you can find solid receiving options in these late rounds. The Patriots have no set number 1 WR and LaFell could easily assume that role. Carolina is starting fresh at WR and Cotchery has the most seniority. Seattle showed that they believe in Baldwin by giving him a contract to earn and Stills showed decent rapport with Brees last season, but you can’t expect consistent production from him.   

Round 14

157 Brian Hartline, MIA
158 Mohamed Sanu, CIN
159 Andrew Hawkins, CLE
160 Kenbrell Thompkins, NE
161 Carolina Panthers D/ST
162 Denver Broncos D/ST
163 Lance Dunbar, DAL
165 Antonio Gates, SD
166 Dwayne Allen, IND
167 Robert Woods, BUF
168 Michael Vick, NYJ

Evaluation: Bottom of the barrel, we find ye here. Hartline, Thompkins and Hawkins are well worth a flier here if you have room for an extra WR. Other than that grab a backup or think about dipping into the pool of defenses.

Round 15

169 Stephen Gostkowski, NE
170 New England Patriots D/ST
171 Houston Texans D/ST
172 Cincinnati Bengals D/ST
173 Arizona Cardinals D/ST
174 Dri Archer, PIT
175 Matt Bryant, ATL
176 Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST
177 Buffalo Bills D/ST
178 Kansas City Chiefs D/ST
179 Justin Tucker, BAL
180 St. Louis Rams D/ST

Evaluation: Get a defense. They are pretty thin this year.

Round 16

181 Steven Hauschka, SEA
182 Chris Ivory, NYJ
183 Mason Crosby, GB
184 Phil Dawson, SF
185 Adam Vinatieri, IND
186 Baltimore Ravens D/ST
187 Nick Folk, NYJ
188 Robbie Gould, CHI
189 Dan Bailey, DAL
190 Greg Zuerlein, STL
191 Nate Freese, DET
192 Nick Novak, SD

Evaluation: Get a kicker. You need to start one.

2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft

The NFL football pre-season is coming to a close but the majority of fantasy football drafts are in the last week. If you are like me, you prefer to wait until that week so you have a clear understanding of who the starters will be and not own valuable players who are now injured. I have been keeping a Fantasy Football Mock Draft list all summer long and have made numerous adjustments to it. I have also watched many drafts and have build an "average" draft from those results for standard scoring leagues. This allows me to compare the two and helps me understand if I need to pick a player earlier than expected if I really want them or if I can wait a little while longer on a player. I will share these insights with you now.

Round 1

1. Adrian Peterson (RB)
2. Doug Martin (RB)
3. Alfred Morris (RB)
4. Ray Rice (RB)
5. Arian Foster (RB)
6. Jamal Charles (RB)
7. Marshawn Lynch (RB)
8. Charles Johnson (WR)
9. Matt Forte (RB)
10. C.J. Spiller (RB)
11. Steven Ridley (RB)
12. LeSean McCoy (RB)

NOTES: After AP. Every mock draft has a different order for the remaining picks in round one. I believe that Doug Martin is the safest choice out of this group followed by Morris and Rice. Arian Foster is a best but knee and foot injuries with your number 1 pick can be a real killer. Steven Ridley is a questionable number 1 since he has no real track record and Shane Vereen could easily slide into a co-number 1 back role.

Round 2

1. A.J. Green (WR)
2. Aaron Rodgers (QB)
3. Brandon Marshall (WR)
4. Dez Bryant (WR)
5. Frank Gore (RB)
6. Drew Brees (QB)
7. Demaryius Thomas (WR)
8. Steven Jackson (RB)
9. Trent Richardson (RB)
10. Chris Johnson (RB)
11. Larry Fitzgerald (WR)
12. Maurice Jones-Drew (RB)

NOTES: I don’t like Rodgers this high. Too many injuries at WR and a bad OL have me concerned with his production this year. IF I want to go QB early, Brees is easily my first choice off the board. If I don’t get Brees, I look down a round or two for Matt Ryan. All RBs in this round with a shortened nickname give me pause; Sjax, T-Rich, CJ2K and MoJo are better left for other owners if you ask me. I’d pull a top WR before one of these 4, even Larry Fitzgerald since I am all in on his connection with Palmer this year.

Round 3

1. Julio Jones (WR)
2. Andre Johnson (WR)
3. Roddy White (WR)
4. Jimmy Graham (TE)
5. Randall Cobb (WR)
6. Tom Brady (QB)
7. Marques Colston (WR)
8. Darren McFadden (RB)
9. Cam Newton (QB)
10. Montee Ball (RB)
11. Matt Ryan (QB)
12. Vincent Jackson (WR)

NOTES: You can’t go wrong with any WR in this round or Jimmy Graham. Barring injury, Graham will double-up all other TEs this year. I personally grab Matt Ryan over Tm Brady this year due to age, health and far, far, far better receivers.

Round 4

1. Reggie Wayne (WR)
2. DeMarco Murray (RB)
3. Mike Wallace (WR)
4. Peyton Manning (QB)
5. Jordy Nelson (WR)
6. Torrey Smith (WR)
7. David Wilson (RB)
8. Victor Cruz (WR)
9. Reggie Bush (RB)
10. Ryan Mathews (RB)
11. Danny Amendola (WR)
12. Derrick Bowe (WR)

NOTES: If you have 2 solid RBs, a top WR/ Jimmy Graham and have a shot at Manning here, take it! You can fill out other WRs as you go on. Adding more confidence, better health and Wes Welker will only make his numbers better this year. There are a lot of question marks in this round that I would leave up to other owners, namely, Wayne, Murray, Mathews and Bush (only if not in a PPR league). David Wilson is a high risk, high reward in this round. Do yourself a favor a few rounds later and grab Andre Brown if you are the person drafting David Wilson.

Round 5

1. Steve Smith (WR)
2. Eric Decker (WR)
3. Anquan Boldin (WR)
4. Stevie Johnson (WR)
5. Greg Jennings (WR)
6. Lamar Miller (RB)
7. Eddie Lacy (RB)
8. James Jones (WR)
9. Wes Welker (WR)
10. Emmanuel Sanders (WR)
11. Lance Moore (WR)
12. Vernon Davis (TE)

NOTES: In my eyes, there are two sets of receivers here, the must drafts and the definitely skip. I don’t trust Greg Jennings and Wes Welker this high. Manning loved throwing to Decker last year and I don’t see a fall-off there, but I do with Welker. I love Boldin as a player and think he will be a beast in San Fran this year so he is my first pick out of this group.

Round 6

1. Chris Ivory (RB)
2. Mike Williams (WR)
3. Rob Gronkowski
4. Tony Gonzalez (TE)
5. Miles Austin (WR)
6. Colin Kaepernick (QB)
7. Greg Olsen (TE)
8. Owen Daniels (TE)
9. Hakeem Nicks (WR)
10. Giovani Bernard (RB)
11. Darren Sproles (RB)
12. Rashard Mendenhall (RB)

NOTES: Giovani Bernard has moved up every week since the rankings came out and with good reason. He is the Real Deal and will own the number 1 RB slot on a very good Bengals offense this year. I take him over anyone else in this round. Too many TEs in this round for me, though I would draft Tony G since he is still a health freak and will repeat last year’s monster numbers. I can’t trust Gronk, but think Mendenhall is a great choice here.

Round 7

1. Tyler Eifert (TE)
2. DeSean Jackson (WR)
3. Cecil Shorts (WR)
4. DeAngelo Williams (RB)
5. Andrew Luck (QB)
6. Jason Witten (TE)
7. Daryl Richardson (RB)
8. Isaac Redman (RB)
9. Ahmad Bradshaw (RB)
10. Kyle Rudolph (TE)
11. Pierre Garcon (WR)
12. Golden Tate (WR)

NOTES: Round 7 is a money round. If you overloaded in a position earlier, you can easily fill a hole here. Not enough RBs? Williams and Richardson are bruising starters. Not enough WRs? Jackson, Garcon and Shorts have potential for monster seasons. Need a TE? Eifert and Witten will make you smile. I think this is too early for Luck. Bradshaw is a roll of the dice that could pay off if you want a bench RB and potential trade bait if he plays well. If you get Bradshaw, grab Vick Ballard a few rounds later as well.

Round 8

1. Tony Romo (QB)
2. Russell Wilson (QB)
3. Tavon Austin (WR)
4. Michael Vick (QB)
5. Ben Tate (RB)
6. Malcom Floyd (WR)
7. Vincent Brown (WR)
8. Matthew Stafford (QB)
9. Jacoby Jones (WR)
10. Robert Griffin III (QB)
11. Eli Manning (QB)
12. Jermichael Finley (TE)

NOTES: The next tier of QBs gets their run here for those teams that did not grab a stud QB earlier. I have no issue with any QB here, but I would recommend going after another QB in round 9 or 10 if you roll the dice on Vick or RGIII as your starting QB. Ben Tate is a must-grab backups here before someone else snatches him up and backs into a top RB due to an injury. I have no idea why anyone would draft Jacoby Jones…in any round....and you can skip Andre Brown now that he is hurt. Jacoby Jones has made a career out of one catch and his return game, but he has made a career aside from that as a disappointing starting WR. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tandon Doss own the #2 WR slot in Baltimore. Take any other WR in this round.

Round 9

1. Brandon Pettigrew (TE)
2. Martellus Bennett (TE)
3. DeAndre Hopkins (WR)
4. Ronnie Hillman (RB)
5. Kenbrell Thompkins (WR)
6. Josh Gordon (WR)
7. Shane Vereen (RB)
8. Bernard Pierce (RB)
9. Matt Schaub (QB)
10. Sydney Rice (WR)
11. Kenny Britt (WR)
12. Antonio Gates (TE)

NOTES: We are now into mixed bag rounds; mid-level TEs, a nice backup QB and straight-up fliers. If you have Steven Ridley, you HAVE to grab Shane Vereen. Vereen could easily supplant Ridley as the #1 back. Josh Gordon has dropped too far due to his suspension, but he is a steal in this round and can easily sit on your bench for a few weeks. Kenbrell Thompkins is worth a pick if you are already set at WR. He has rapidly risen up the ranks as he appears to be the Patriots’ downfield threat. Houston has not lined up a single talented receiver across from Andre Johnson since he was been in the league…until now…grab DeAndre Hopkins with confidence.

Round 10

1. Zach Miller (TE)
2. Joe Flacco (QB)
3. Vick Ballard (RB)
4. Carson Palmer (QB)
5. Michael Floyd (WR)
6. Jay Cutler (QB)
7. Sam Bradford (QB)
8. Andre Roberts (WR)
9. Pierre Thomas (RB)
10. Ben Roethlisberger (QB)
11. Greg Little (WR)
12. Seattle Defense

NOTES: More of the same with backup QBs and running backs. A few intriguing picks are Michael Floyd and Pierre Thomas. I truly believe in Arizona’s passing game this year and Floyd will benefit immensely from teams overloading on Larry Fitzgerald and Carson Palmer being able to throw the ball downfield. New Orleans needs a power back to offset Darren Sproles. They seem to think that Mark Ingram is not the answer and lost Chris Ivory, so Thomas is that back from default. Worthy of a pick here is you are not deep enough at RB.

Round 11

1. Josh Freeman (QB)
2. Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR)
3. Brandon Myers (TE)
4. Fred Jackson (RB)
5. Philip Rivers (QB)
6. Andy Dalton (QB)
7. San Francisco Defense
8. Ed Dickson (TE)
9. Bilal Powell (RB)
10. Andre Brown (RB)
11. Benjarvus Green-Ellis (RB)
12. Ryan Tannehill (QB)

NOTES: More of the same with backup QBs and running backs. A few intriguing picks are Brandon Myers and Bilal Powell. Myers is a #1 TE and is a steal in this round if you have been waiting until now for a TE. He was not a big end-zone target in Oakland, but Eli utilizes his tight ends much better in the Red Zone. The Jets are B-A-D, Bad, Bad, Bad, but they do need a RB to carry the load. Chris Ivory will be that man, but he gets hurt every year. Powell looked very good at times last year and could find himself with 10-15 carries a gain when Ivory is healthy and 20+ when Ivory gets hurt. Also, Andre Brown is now getting no love due to dis broken leg. You can grab him here and then stash him on your IR, if your league allows it, when he is designated as Out and pick up a top remaining free agent, such as Danny Woodhead.

Round 12

1. Jacquizz Rodgers (RB)
2. Alshon Jeffery (WR)
3. Nate Washington (WR)
4. Denver Defense
5. Zach Sudfeld (TE)
6. Chris Givens (WR)
7. Mark Ingram (RB)
8. Jared Cook (TE)
9. Brian Hartline (WR)
10. Brandon LaFell (WR)
11. Stephan Hill (WR)
12. T.Y. Hilton (WR)

NOTES: There are some nice receivers that are well worth a roster spot in this round. If Alshon Jeffery can stay healthy, he will have a big year in Chicago.The passing game needs another receiver and he is a tall, though fragile, target. No one has taken a Jets receiver yet, with good reason, but Hill could be their #1, for what that’s worth. T.Y. Hilton was a favorite of Andrew Luck in the second half of 2012. I don’t buy into Heyward-Bey knocking him down the depth chart.

Round 13

1. La’Veon Bell (RB)
2. Bernard Pierce (BAL)
3. Denarius Moore (WR)
4. Houston Defense
5. Daniel Thomas (RB)
6. Chicago Defense
7. Pittsburgh Defense
8. Andre Dobson (WR)
9. Brent Walsh (K)
10. Zac Stacy (RB)
11. Michael Bush (RB)
12. Jonathan Franklin (RB)

NOTES: By now, there is no way to predict what will happen to these players. Slow owners will remember that it is best to back up their stud RBs and a few people will jump on the remaining top defenses before the inevitable rush in week 14.

Round 14

1. Shonn Green (RB)
2. Delanie Walker (TE)
3. Mohamed Sanu (WR)
4. Arizona Defense
5. St. Louis Defense
6. Cincinnati Defense
7. New England Defense
8. Rob Housler (TE)
9. Green Bay Defense
10. Brice Brown (RB)
11. Baltimore Defense
12. Steven Goskowski (K)

NOTES: The second to last round of the draft. This is where Defenses should be drafted since there is not a lot that separates them in most normal scoring systems. This could vary greatly if your league also awards points for low yardage and points allowed. By now, a few over-zealous owners have grabbed Houston, Denver, Seattle and San Fran. Do not panic and follow them down this path. Wait until this round and grab Cincy, if possible. I love their defense this year. I also expect solid defenses in Arizona, St. Louis, New England and Tampa. Don’t buy into Baltimore, Green Bay, Philly as those solid defenses are in the past.

Round 15

1. Matt Bryant (K)
2. Greg Zuerlein (K)
3. Justin Tucker (K)
4. Josh Brown (K)
5. Garrett Hartley (K)
6. Robbie Gould (K)
7. Matt Prater (K)
8. Atlanta Defense
9. Phil Dawson (K)
10. TB Defense
11. Sebastian Janikowski (K)
12. Adam Vinatieri (K)

NOTES: The last round of the draft. This is where Kickers should be drafted since there is not a lot that separates them and no one can predict how many opportunities each will get. My usual strategy is to draft one with a Bye in weeks 10-12 so I don’t have to worry about that position for over half the season.
