16 Round Mock Draft - Keeper League
Pick / Franchise / Player/Status / Pos / Team / Comments/ 1.01 / Newaygo Drunks / Tomlinson, LaDainian / RB / SDC / Piles up yards rushing and receiving. Scores plenty of TDs and is plenty young enough to warrant #1 overall Pick. /
/ 1.02 / OCStorm / McGahee, Willis / RB / BUF / He's young, and he's the future of Stud Backs. I was looking LT...Alexander is too much guesswork right now. /
/ 1.03 / SuperBowlXL / James, Edgerrin / RB / IND / Edge will only be 27 years old when the season starts. He's got the franchise tag on him and may be motivated to put up big numbers again this season to get a big contract, if possible, next off season. Can't argue with him in that offense. /
/ 1.04 / Clina DevilDoggs / Manning, Peyton / QB / IND / A Million, Gazillion, Bazillion TDs! /
/ 1.05 / Mighty Meese / Moss, Randy / WR / OAK / He's set to put up big numbers for awhile in Oakland, I'll ride the Moss-Train for awhile. /
/ 1.06 / Bozeman Bucks / Portis, Clinton / RB / WAS / Another year in Gibbs' system with good o-line will be a great year for Clint /
/ 1.07 / Michigan Panthers / Culpepper, Daunte / QB / MIN / Where as this season seems to be very deep in running backs, especially of the "keeper" type, I go for who I think may be this season's MVP, even without Moss. /
/ 1.08 / Raw Meat / Alexander, Shaun / RB / SEA / Can't argue with him at this spot. He is a good back for TDs, hopefully he stays in Seattle. /
/ 2.01 / Raw Meat / Lewis, Jamal / RB / BAL / Another good deal in my view at this spot. Some weapons at WR should help him back into his old form. Plus he's getting out of jail two days early! ;-) /
/ 2.02 / Michigan Panthers / Jones, Julius / RB / DAL / With there plenty of wide receivers on the board, I had to go with Parcell's latest workhorse. His stats projected over the entire season last year makes him an early pick. /
/ 2.03 / Bozeman Bucks / Holt, Torry / WR / STL / Best WR in the League IMO /
/ 2.04 / Mighty Meese / Davis, Domanick / RB / HOU / I took a WR in the 1st, needed to come back on an RB, he catches and runs...not to mentions has those multiple score games. /
/ 2.05 / Clina DevilDoggs / Jones, Kevin / RB / DET / A future stud, nice way to compliment Manning, a solid runner, who's quick, plays on turf, and is getting better at pass catching. /
/ 2.06 / SuperBowlXL / McAllister, Deuce / RB / NOS / I think Deuce is a great young RB stuck on a bad, bad team. He does not have a very good QB but seems to put up huge numbers every year. If he ever gets out of New Orleans, watch out. /
/ 2.07 / OCStorm / Jordan, LaMont / RB / OAK / WRs are deep, plus I'm a RB first drafter...LaMont will be the featured back in a now potent offense. At 26, he's still young w/ low mileage, solid #2 RB for this season, and solid for a few years in the future. /
/ 2.08 / Newaygo Drunks / Johnson, Chad / WR / CIN / Has all the talent in the World and his numbers will only go up as Palmer develops. /
/ 3.01 / Newaygo Drunks / Jackson, Steven / RB / STL / Some great vet RBs on the board still but Jackson is young and starting this year. Jackson should score plenty of TDs and his yards will increase as the Marshall plan starts to get phased out. /
/ 3.02 / OCStorm / Harrison, Marvin / WR / IND / Still a huge playmaker for another 2-3 years, maybe not the best keeper at this spot, but hey, I would want to win this year too! Was looking at A. Johnson, hope it doesn't come back to haunt me. /
/ 3.03 / SuperBowlXL / McNabb, Donovan / QB / PHI / With 2 young RBs already on my team I'll take the best QB on the board. With or without TO McNabb is a top 3 QB. /
/ 3.04 / Clina DevilDoggs / Williams, Carnell / RB / TBB / Risky pick, I know. I wanted Priest, who's help me here and now, but for the future, I'll ride the Cadillac! /
/ 3.05 / Mighty Meese / Holmes, Priest / RB / KCC / Like the Devildogg said, he'd help here and now. I may only have a year or so with him, but that's a lot of TDs.... /
/ 3.06 / Bozeman Bucks / Bulger, Marc / QB / STL / Spreads the ball around well, and has Torry Holt at his disposal. /
/ 3.07 / Michigan Panthers / Dillon, Corey / RB / NEP / With the wide outs still on the board, and the supply of workhorse running backs waning, Dillon is a lock at this spot. /
/ 3.08 / Raw Meat / Johnson, Andre / WR / HOU / With the top young QBs off the board and two solid RBs, I'll go WR here. Andre Johnson is THE future top WR in the league! /
/ 4.01 / Raw Meat / Owens, Terrell / WR / PHI / The potential young stud RBs left on the board will allow me to pick one of the top WRs for at least a few more years. Got to win now, as well! /
/ 4.02 / Michigan Panthers / Walker, Javon / WR / GBP / I agree with my brother, in our other draft. Walker will be in on time and be Favre's #1 receiver. He'll be playing to prove he's worth the money. /
/ 4.03 / Bozeman Bucks / Green, Ahman / RB / GBP / With QB taken care of and a #1 WR on my roster I'm grabbing my second RB now and Green has shown in the past how explosive he can be. /
/ 4.04 / Mighty Meese / Bell, Tatum / RB / DEN / I can only hope that the Denver running game works for him as well as the ones who have ran before him... /
/ 4.05 / Clina DevilDoggs / Williams, Roy / WR / DET / Too much upside to pass over at this point in the draft, as the RBs are winding down, although I HAVE to grab a QB here on the return. /
/ 4.06 / SuperBowlXL / Wayne, Reggie / WR / IND / In a keeper league and with Harrison only getting older Wayne makes a great pick. Even with Harrison he put up big numbers last year. /
/ 4.07 / OCStorm / Brees, Drew / QB / SDC / He won the job in '04 because he can play the game. Mo matter where he ends up, he'll be leading my squad to the Championship year after year! /
/ 4.08 / Newaygo Drunks / Gates, Antonio / TE / SDC / Gonzo is the best till Gates proves otherwise but in a keeper league it will be nice to have the option of what could be the best TE by season's end. /
/ 5.01 / Newaygo Drunks / Brown, Ronnie / RB / MIA / With 2 stud RBs on my roster already I'll stash this future stud on my bench. /
/ 5.02 / OCStorm / Porter, Jerry / WR / OAK / Maybe not my best pick...but I am a Raider fan, and Moss can only open up things for him, the Raiders have 2 solid deep threat WRs and Porter's stock is up in my book. /
/ 5.03 / SuperBowlXL / Clayton, Michael / WR / TBB / Coming have a big rookie season Clayton should only get better. /
/ 5.04 / Clina DevilDoggs / Foster, DeShaun / RB / CAR / If he keeps his health, he'll be a top 10 back this year and only better in the future, not too bad for a 5th rounder. I have my future locked up already; no it's time to start filling those holes. /
/ 5.05 / Mighty Meese / Brady, Tom / QB / NEP / With 3 RBs in the house and a WR, I had to get a QB before the next run. Now time to focus on a few WRs before the depth gets close to running thin. /
/ 5.06 / Bozeman Bucks / Bennett, Drew / WR / TEN / Had a huge season last year and with Mason gone he will have the chance to repeat that success. /
/ 5.07 / Michigan Panthers / Gonzalez, Tony / TE / KCC / Seeing Gates off the board, I myself always try to get a premiere TE; I'll go with proven production in Gonzo. /
/ 5.08 / Raw Meat / Johnson, Rudi / RB / CIN / Always good to have depth at RB. The Bengals offense continues to improve every year. /
/ 6.01 / Raw Meat / Burleson, Nate / WR / MIN / He proved last year he can be the guy of the offense. What better offense to be a part of. Culpepper is the frontrunner for MVP honors IMO. /
/ 6.02 / Michigan Panthers / Fitzgerald, Larry / WR / ARI / A little bit of a gamble here in my opinion, but going through a rookie year and off season in the NFL, and a much more accurate QB in Kurt Warner, I'm looking for Larry to take a major step forward. /
/ 6.03 / Bozeman Bucks / Benson, Cedric / RB / CHI / Need depth at RB and with a keeper league stashing a rookie never hurts /
/ 6.04 / Mighty Meese / Evans, Lee / WR / BUF / A top ten WR in the making, move over Moulds. /
/ 6.05 / Clina DevilDoggs / Ward, Hines / WR / PIT / Ward in the 6th isn't too bad, but it's only an 8 team draft. There could be success with Ward in '05. /
/ 6.06 / SuperBowlXL / Horn, Joe / WR / NOS / Gives me three good WRs and if Wayne or Clayton have a off year Horn is still worth a starting spot. /
/ 6.07 / OCStorm / Arrington, J.J. / RB / ARI / Here's my 2005 Sleeper pick. He'll push Shipp out the door; will be a top 10-15 RB next season. /
/ 6.08 / Newaygo Drunks / Williams , Mike / WR / DET / Meet Mr. Redzone. With Roy, Rogers, and Jones on the field with him he should see lots of 1 on 1. With his size he could be a Redzone monster even as a rookie. Well worth the risk to me /
/ 7.01 / Newaygo Drunks / Collins, Kerry / QB / OAK / Having Moss and Porter to throw to should boost Collins into the top 10 of fantasy football QBs. /
/ 7.02 / OCStorm / Clark, Dallas / TE / IND / In this offense, if you catch, you're productive. /
/ 7.03 / SuperBowlXL / Martin, Curtis / RB / NYJ / Gives me 3 top options at RB. /
/ 7.04 / Clina DevilDoggs / Heap, Todd / TE / BAL / When he's healthy, he's the primary passing threat, Mason or no Mason... /
/ 7.05 / Mighty Meese / Johnson, Larry / RB / KCC / A future starter and a good insurance guy. This will finish up my RB depth, need to get anther WR, QB, and then a TE. /
/ 7.06 / Bozeman Bucks / Burress, Plaxico / WR / NYG / Finally gets his shot as the top guy. /
/ 7.07 / Michigan Panthers / Ravens, Baltimore / DT / BAL / Rounding out my starting line-up is the league's premiere fantasy defense. And influx of new, speedy LBs, the signing of Samari Rolle, and mainstays Ray Lewis and Ed Reed make this defense a money maker. You have to like the division their in also. /
/ 7.08 / Raw Meat / Palmer, Carson / QB / CIN / Figured I would get my QBs of the future and present since I don't pick for a while. /
/ 8.01 / Raw Meat / Green, Trent / QB / KCC / Easily a top 5 QB, even if it is for next year only. /
/ 8.02 / Michigan Panthers / Barber, Tiki / RB / NYG / Not normally a big Tiki fan, but makes a nice 3rd back option with his total yardage game. /
/ 8.03 / Bozeman Bucks / Crumpler, Alge / TE / ATL / My team needs a TE and Crumpler has the size to be a serious TD threat. /
/ 8.04 / Mighty Meese / Edwards, Braylon / WR / CLE / He can't possibly stay in Cleveland forever, can he?? /
/ 8.05 / Clina DevilDoggs / Lelie, Ashley / WR / DEN / He's improving every year, and I needed another WR. I wanted to sneak away with the Ravens D here, but was beaten to the punch, so Ashley it is. /
/ 8.06 / SuperBowlXL / Witten, Jason / TE / DAL / He is young and had a solid season last year. Could be one of the top 5 TEs this year. /
/ 8.07 / OCStorm / Wiggins, Jermaine / TE / MIN / With Moss out of the picture, Wiggins should get more love from Culpepper. /
/ 8.08 / Newaygo Drunks / Steelers, Pittsburgh / DT / PIT / Even with New England on the board I'll take Blitzburgh's defense. /
/ 9.01 / Newaygo Drunks / Jackson, Darrell / WR / SEA / For a 3rd WR it is hard to top D-Jackson. While he is also guilty of some drops he is the most consistent of the bunch. /
/ 9.02 / OCStorm / Patriots, New England / DT / NEP / Went with the D/ST here, to get my roster completed. There's still plenty of WRs on the board to fill up on down the stretch. /
/ 9.03 / SuperBowlXL / Bills, Buffalo / DT / BUF / Very tough defense. One of the better groups of LB's you'll find in the game. /
/ 9.04 / Clina DevilDoggs / Roethlisberger, Ben / QB / PIT / Depth chart builder; wasn't much for fantasy points last year, but he'll grow. /
/ 9.05 / Mighty Meese / Johnson, Eric / TE / SFO / Showed promise, only thing is does he have a QB to throw to him?? /
/ 9.06 / Bozeman Bucks / Eagles, Philadelphia / DT / PHI / Rounds out my team. One of the better defenses. /
/ 9.07 / Michigan Panthers / Mason, Derrick / WR / BAL / Giving Mason the edge over some of the receivers left on the board. Led the NFL last season in receptions and Billick has someone to move the chains in the passing game. /
/ 9.08 / Raw Meat / Williamson , Troy / WR / MIN / Decided to grab another WR in case Burleson can't get it done and Owens holds out, gets traded to some crappy team, or just gets old fast. Not too keen about having two WR from the same team but if I have to, this would be the offense I would want them to be in. Williamson is easily a starter in a few years. /
/ 10.01 / Raw Meat / McMichael, Randy / TE / MIA / Just beginning to show us what he's got. The Miami offense continues to improve, talent-wise at least... /
/ 10.02 / Michigan Panthers / Vick, Michael / QB / ATL / In the tenth round, even Vick is a steal. His rushing will make him a threat at flex if you have that option also. A logical choice here for this team. /
/ 10.03 / Bozeman Bucks / Carr, David / QB / HOU / Heading into his 4th year and has talent around him. /
/ 10.04 / Mighty Meese / Redskins, Washington / DT / WAS / Joining the D/ST run /
/ 10.05 / Clina DevilDoggs / Lions, Detroit / DT / DET / They did well last year; I'm joining the run too... /
/ 10.06 / SuperBowlXL / Harrington, Joey / QB / DET / This could end up being a huge steal. With the talent around him, Harrington has no excuses. If the young guys play up to their potential, he'll have a monster season. /
/ 10.07 / OCStorm / Clayton, Mark / WR / BAL / I saw him in camps, he looks great, catches
