Round 9

  1. FFToolbox.com: Kevin Walter, WR, Texans
    No analysis given.

  2. WalterFootball.com: Jerious Norwood, RB, Falcons
    Michael Turner is not going to carry the ball 370+ times this year. Jerious Norwood will be more involved, so he has some value this season, especially in PPR Leagues.

  3. FootballJabber.com: Donald Driver, WR, Packers
    No analysis given.

  4. MonsterDraft: Carson Palmer, QB, Bengals
    No analysis given.

  5. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Kyle Orton, QB, Broncos
    Gonna grab my backup now, long time before I pick again.

  6. FantasySportsCentral.com: Ted Ginn, WR, Dolphins
    No analysis given.

  7. RotoWorld.com: Tim Hightower, RB, Cardinals
    No analysis given.

  8. JunkyardJake.com: Willis McGahee, RB, Ravens
    McGahee is very much out of favor this year, for good reason. Still, he appears to be relatively healthy (so far), and should be a factor in the Ravens RB rotation.

  9. FantasyIndex.com: Darren Sproles, RB, Chargers
    No analysis given.

  10. FFJungle.com: Chris Henry, WR, Bengals
    Henry could be a solid option if he could ever figure out that he’s big and fast. Oh, it would help if he could stay off the police blotter, too.

  11. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Steelers
    No analysis given.

  12. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Matt Cassel, QB, Chiefs
    No analysis given.





Round 10

  1. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Shonn Greene, RB, Jets
    No analysis given.

  2. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Michael Bush, RB, Raiders
    No analysis given.

  3. FFJungle.com: Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seahawks
    If Hasselbeck stays healthy, he has the receivers to post decent numbers as a No. 2.

  4. FantasyIndex.com: Zach Miller, TE, Raiders
    No analysis given.

  5. JunkyardJake.com: Dustin Keller, TE, Jets
    No analysis given.

  6. RotoWorld.com: Kevin Curtis, WR, Eagles
    No analysis given.

  7. FantasySportsCentral.com: Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants
    No analysis given.

  8. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Owen Daniels, TE, Texans
    No analysis given.

  9. MonsterDraft: Kevin Faulk, RB, Patriots
    No analysis given.

  10. FootballJabber.com: Domenik Hixon, WR, Giants
    No analysis given.

  11. WalterFootball.com: Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs
    As a rookie, Jamaal Charles caught 27 passes for 272 receiving yards. He’ll get more opportunities in his second year in Kansas City’s new spread offense.

  12. FFToolbox.com: Giants Defense
    No analysis given. (Note: You know you’re in an experts draft when the first defense comes off the board at the end of Round 10; as opposed to the middle of Round 9.)





Round 11

  1. FFToolbox.com: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles
    No analysis given.

  2. WalterFootball.com: Derrick Mason, WR, Ravens
    Derrick Mason just announced that he’s going to stick it out this year. Mason has eclipsed the 1,000-yard barrier seven times in the past eight years. He managed 80 receptions for 1,037 and five touchdowns with a rookie under center. Even though he turned 35 in January, you have to like Mason now that Flacco has some experience.

  3. FootballJabber.com: Steelers Defense
    No analysis given.

  4. MonsterDraft: Steve Smith, WR, Giants
    No analysis given.

  5. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Chester Taylor, RB, Vikings
    No analysis given.

  6. FantasySportsCentral.com: Josh Morgan, WR, 49ers
    No analysis given.

  7. RotoWorld.com: Percy Harvin, WR, Vikings
    No analysis given.

  8. JunkyardJake.com: Chris Chambers, WR, Chargers
    No analysis given.

  9. FantasyIndex.com: David Garrard, QB, Jaguars
    No analysis given.

  10. FFJungle.com: Ravens Defense
    No analysis given.

  11. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants
    No analysis given.

  12. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Jeremy Shockey, TE, Saints
    No analysis given.



Round 12

  1. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Earl Bennett, WR, Bears
    No analysis given.

  2. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Isaac Bruce, WR, 49ers
    No analysis given.

  3. FFJungle.com: Visanthe Shiancoe, TE, Vikings
    No analysis given.

  4. FantasyIndex.com: Brent Celek, TE, Eagles
    No analysis given.

  5. JunkyardJake.com: Laurence Maroney, RB, Patriots
    No analysis given.

  6. RotoWorld.com: Mark Bradley, WR, Chiefs
    No analysis given.

  7. FantasySportsCentral.com: Vikings Defense
    No analysis given.

  8. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Greg Camarillo, WR, Dolphins
    Camarillo will start and I love getting him in the 12th.

  9. MonsterDraft: Michael Jenkins, WR, Falcons
    No analysis given.

  10. FootballJabber.com: Trent Edwards, QB, Bills
    No analysis given.

  11. WalterFootball.com: Earnest Graham, RB, Buccaneers
    There’s no guarantee that Derrick Ward will win the starting job in Tampa Bay, but even if he does, Earnest Graham will get the goal-line work. Graham is also an effective weapon out of the backfield, so hopefully he helps me out in that capacity too.

  12. FFToolbox.com: Brian Robiskie, WR, Browns
    No analysis given.

Round 13

  1. FFToolbox.com: Davone Bess, WR, Dolphins
    No analysis given.

  2. WalterFootball.com: Eagles Defense
    I usually hate taking defenses this early, but getting the Eagles in the 13th round is a huge steal. There is a small concern with the passing of Jim Johnson, but Sean McDermott is Johnson’s protege and will run the same, aggressive defense.

  3. FootballJabber.com: Muhsin Muhammad, WR, Panthers
    No analysis given.

  4. MonsterDraft: Justin Gage, WR, Titans
    No analysis given.

  5. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Chargers Defense
    Gonna grab my backup now, long time before I pick again.

  6. FantasySportsCentral.com: Fred Taylor, RB, Patriots
    No analysis given.

  7. Eli Manning, QB, Giants
    No analysis given.

  8. JunkyardJake.com: Jets Defense


  9. FantasyIndex.com: Le’Ron McClain, RB, Ravens
    At this point in the draft I think it’s worth hedging my bets on Ray Rice.

  10. FFJungle.com: Joey Galloway, WR, Patriots
    No analysis given.

  11. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Chaz Schilens, WR, Raiders
    No analysis given.

  12. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Joe Flacco, QB, Ravens
    No analysis given.



Round 14

  1. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Bernard Scott, RB, Bengals
    No analysis given.

  2. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Sage Rosenfails, QB, Vikings
    No analysis given.

  3. FFJungle.com: Ricky Williams, RB, Dolphins
    If Hasselbeck stays healthy, he has the receivers to post decent numbers as a No. 2.

  4. FantasyIndex.com: James Davis, RB, Browns
    No analysis given.

  5. JunkyardJake.com: Nate Washington, WR, Titans
    No analysis given.

  6. RotoWorld.com: Bears Defense
    No analysis given.

  7. FantasySportsCentral.com: Mike Walker, WR, Jaguars
    No analysis given.

  8. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Kevin Boss, TE, Giants
    No analysis given.

  9. MonsterDraft: Jerome Harrison, RB, Browns
    No analysis given.

  10. FootballJabber.com: Devery Henderson, WR, Saints
    No analysis given.

  11. WalterFootball.com: Heath Miller, TE, Steelers
    Once you get past the top 6-7 tight ends, they’re all pretty much the same. I’m grabbing my starter here in Round 14. Heath Miller produced well toward the end of the 2008 season when he was healthy. I think it’ll carry over into 2009.

  12. FFToolbox.com: Glen Coffee, RB, 49ers
    Coffee may not start barring a Gore injury in 2009, but he has the size and running style to steal a few goal-line touches.

Round 15

  1. FFToolbox.com: Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Raiders
    Has the upside and is under a ton of pressure to produce in Oakland. If the running game takes a step forward, then the passing game will open up for the Raiders. If Jeff Garcia were starting in place of Russell as he may in 2009, then Heyward-Bey would be going much higher.

  2. WalterFootball.com: Tashard Choice, RB, Cowboys
    Drafting for upside here. Tashard Choice has shown us what he can do if given the touches.

  3. FootballJabber.com: Mewelde Moore, RB, Steelers
    No analysis given.

  4. MonsterDraft: Patriots Defense
    No analysis given.

  5. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Ladell Betts, RB, Redskins
    No analysis given.

  6. FantasySportsCentral.com: Miles Austin, WR, Cowboys
    No analysis given.

  7. RotoWorld.com: Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers
    No analysis given.

  8. JunkyardJake.com: Robert Meachem, WR, Saints
    No analysis given.

  9. FantasyIndex.com: Cowboys Defense
    No analysis given.

  10. FFJungle.com: Patrick Crayton, WR, Cowboys
    No analysis given.

  11. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Devin Thomas, WR, Redskins
    No analysis given.

  12. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Sidney Rice, WR, Vikings
    No analysis given.



Round 16

  1. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Marc Bulger, QB, Rams
    No analysis given.

  2. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Titans Defense
    No analysis given.

  3. FFJungle.com: Stephen Gostkowski, K, Patriots
    No analyis given.

  4. FantasyIndex.com: James Jones, WR, Packers
    No analysis given.

  5. JunkyardJake.com: Packers Defense
    No analysis given.

  6. RotoWorld.com: Laurent Robinson, WR, Rams
    No analysis given.

  7. FantasySportsCentral.com: Maurice Morris, RB, Lions
    No analysis given.

  8. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Nate Burleson, WR, Seahawks
    No analysis given.

  9. MonsterDraft: Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions
    No analysis given.

  10. FootballJabber.com: Nate Kaeding, K, Chargers
    No analysis given.

  11. WalterFootball.com: Deion Branch, WR, Seahawks
    If Deion Branch can stay healthy, he’ll produce. That’s a huge IF, but well worth the risk in Round 16.

  12. FFToolbox.com: Shaun Hill, QB, 49ers
    No analysis given. (Note: You know you’re in an experts draft when the first defense comes off the board at the end of Round 10; as opposed to the middle of Round 9.)



Round 17

  1. FFToolbox.com: Rob Bironas, K, Titans
    No analysis given.

  2. WalterFootball.com: Mason Crosby, K, Packers
    I’ll take my kicker here in the penultimate round before all of the good ones are gone.

  3. FootballJabber.com: Bo Scaife, TE, Titans
    No analysis given.

  4. MonsterDraft: Jason Elam, K, Falcons
    No analysis given.

  5. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Shawn Nelson, TE, Bills
    No analysis given.

  6. FantasySportsCentral.com: Ryan Longwell, K, Vikings
    No analysis given.

  7. RotoWorld.com: Garrett Hartley, K, Saints
    No analysis given.

  8. JunkyardJake.com: Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets
    No analysis given.

  9. FantasyIndex.com: Jeff Reed, K, Steelers
    No analysis given.

  10. FFJungle.com: Dolphins Defense
    No analysis given.

  11. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Tarvaris Jackson, QB, Vikings
    No analysis given.

  12. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Buccaneers Defense
    No analysis given.



Round 18

  1. FantasyFootballXtreme.com: Adam Vinatieri, K, Colts
    No analysis given.

  2. FantasyFootballWhiz.com: Neil Rackers, K, Cardinals
    No analysis given.

  3. FFJungle.com: David Akers, K, Eagles
    No analysis given.

  4. FantasyIndex.com: Johnnie Lee Higgins, WR, Raiders
    Good luck all…

  5. JunkyardJake.com: Kris Brown, K, Texans
    No analysis given.

  6. RotoWorld.com: T.J. Duckett, RB, Seahawks
    No analysis given.

  7. FantasySportsCentral.com: Mike Thomas, WR, Jaguars
    No analysis given.

  8. Fantasy Sharks Radio: Lawrence Tynes, K, Giants
    No analysis given.

  9. MonsterDraft: Nick Folk, K, Cowboys
    No analysis given.

  10. FootballJabber.com: Cardinals Defense
    No analysis given.

  11. WalterFootball.com: Edgerrin James, RB, FA
    Meh, why not? I figure there has to be an injury to a running back this offseason, and once that happens, Edgerrin James will come running to the rescue to average 3.5 YPC.

  12. FFToolbox.com: Jason Campbell, QB, Redskins
    No analysis given.
