QB Luck is usually the pick here, but I've seen many posts in the forums stating that, in their 12 team leagues, the #2 RB will go #2, and I've been in this game long enough to know that RBs values generally rise close to draft time since they are so scarce.

I picked Martin here because I have Martin, Wilson and Miller on the same tier, and I think the one who goes to the best situation will be the #2 RB. I've seen Martin mocked to the Giants at the end of the first round, and to the Bucs at the top of the 2nd round - both good landing spots for a top rookie RB, I think. He's been going around 5 or 6 in mocks, so it's reasonable to think that he could go even earlier depending on NFL situation.

I couldn't pass on Luch who may be the best QB prospect in the past 10 years.

Comment - This kid is going to be fun to watch and will bring a new dimension to the Washington offense! This is RoboQB...a mix between Vick and Newton, maybe a Steve Young clone 20 years later!!!

And with that comment, you just made me regret trading up from 1.04 to 1.01. Sadface. He is definitely a mancrush of mine.

I thought this was going to come down to Doug Martin or Floyd for me. And as I click submit for Blackmon I am almost regretting not plugging in Floyd's name. But Blackmon is a blue chip prospect and I think he ends up going to St Louis and growing along with Bradford.

Comment: About what I expected to be here. I like building around WRs more than RBs, and have infinitely more faith in Floyd producing than I do either of the 2 remaining RBs (Wilson, Miller). Easy choice for me.

[melish1631]

What happened to draft flow??? Can we just put next RB in the slot....after all, it's a mock draft...heehee!

when someone goes beyond the 24 hour limit, they get bumped to the end of the round in one of my leagues. we'll go BPA here, or find a replacement.

Gonna go with Wright who may well match the total production level of Blackmon or Floyd but with likely less consistency from week to week.

Comment: Stephen Hill has been getting a lot of love around this spot, and probably has as much hit/miss potential as Sanu, so this really comes down to preference more than anything. 115 catches last year inspires me to take a chance at 1.11, though. I like me some Sanu here.

yikes. Yes, it's "only" a mock, but man don't sign up unless you're gonna be committed! I don't think I'm the only person who gets to this site once every 24 hours...

It does seem to be the slowest mock in history, doesn't it? Haha
