OK, so this isn’t a fake mock draft. But it is fake in the sense that it could never possibly go like this. I’ll explain.
Members of the forum and I usually do fantasy mock drafts each Wednesday night. Some members already had a mock auction planned, so there weren’t really any of us left to conduct this mock draft. Just Pheltzbahr and me. The other 10 members of this mock draft were random people on ESPN.
All but three of these randoms left the mock after Round 6 or so, which is something I’ll never understand. Anyone can draft great players in Round 1-6 – it’s the late rounds where fantasy leagues are won.
At any rate, Aaron Rodgers was the first pick in this mock. I nearly choked on a grape – not that there’s anything wrong with that? – when I saw him come off the board first overall. I made a remark about it, and the following conversation ensued (I edited out the names because we became friends at the end):
Walter Football 10:34pm: Why the hell is Rodgers 1?
Team 1 10:35pm: jesus its the first round
Team 2 10:36pm: you guys forget that he scored an average of around 35-40 points a week last year
Walter Football 10:36pm: You still don’t take a QB No. 1
Team 2 10:36pm: who says?
Team Rodgers Picker 10:37pm: thank – good to know someone with a brain is on here!
Walter Football 10:37pm: Who says? Mr. Sense. First name, Common.
Team 3 10:37pm: Yo draft how you want. That’s why is called FANTASY idiot
Walter Football 10:37pm: And here I thought the objective was to win? Silly me.
Team 2 10:37pm: ahhh…I forgot you were the master of Fantasy Football..you work for ESPN right?
Team 3 10:38pm: LOL
Walter Football 10:38pm: I work with FOX Sports actually 🙂
Team 2 10:38pm: uh huh so you work with Fox Sports and your still doing Mock Drafts?? You must be really good at your job haha
Walter Football 10:39pm: I publish a mock draft with analysis on my site every single week, so you can read about yourselves on the site tomorrow, if you wish.
Like I said though, we all became friends by the end of the mock. In fact, they may have even read this mock draft.
At any rate, I wanted to post this to show you all how beautiful my team is.
QB – Matt Ryan
RB – Rashard Mendenhall
RB – Frank Gore
WR – Mike Williams
WR – Steve Johnson
RB/WR – Felix Jones
TE – Jimmy Graham
K – Sebastian Janikowski
DEF – 49ers Defense (vs. Seahawks)
BN – Brandon Marshall WR
BN – James Starks RB
BN – Sam Bradford QB
BN – Nate Burleson WR
BN – Javon Ringer RB
BN – Jason Snelling RB
BN – Greg Little WR
See what I mean? If I added QB Dog Killer and showed this team to Matthew Berry, he would totally splooge all over his Love/Hate column.
Of course, something like this could never happen. Like I said, many people left this mock, so ESPN bots scooped up crappy fantasy players like Daniel Thomas, Steve Smith, A.J. Green and Ryan Torain in Rounds 7-10. So don’t base your mock draft on this – unless, of course, your league members are as clueless as ESPN’s auto-picker.
Hopefully I’ll have a better mock to post next week. My real money leagues draft all throughout Labor Day Weekend, so look out for those as well. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
