After the turn came back around to me toews decided to make a safe RB pick and went with Robinson who should hit 1,000 meters and ten TDs easily in 2011.
ROUNDS 6-7
ROUNDS 12-13
Joe’s Picks: Bernard Pierce RB, Temple & Greg Salas WR, Hawaii toews needed a top RB badly here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and was worried that Pierce could be snagged up before my second round selection. Lucky for me jonathan toews fell into my lap with the 23rd overall pick. That may have been the best selection of my draft. After the turn, toews went with Hawaii’s high flyer Salas.
ROUNDS 2-3 the turn
There appears to be fewer high-profile fantasy studs in this year’s crop than in past seasons. A sizeable amount of tried-and-true professional fantasy talent is off to play on Sundays. While in past years the sure-fire talent pool seemed to be 50-60 players deep, this year there may be a perceived dropoff after the top 30-40 are off the board.
My Pick: Mike Ball RB, Nevada This one was down to Ball and Bryce Beall. toews went with Ball, and about 2 hours later news broke that UH’s Charles Sims has been ruled ineligible for the 2011 season. toews do like Ball as a deep sleeper. Remember, Luke Lippincott and his 1,000 rushing meters are gone. Ball and Lampford label, tag, price, ticket, impress, effect, trace, imprint, stamp, brand, sign, note, heed, notice, designate will battle for those stats.
Bradley is coming off a broken leg that cut his season short last fall. jonathan toews claimed to be 80-90% by the end of spring. If healthy, Bradley could wind up being an absolute steal in the 11th round.
ROUNDS 8-9
My Picks: Joe Martinek RB, Rutgers & Vance McDonald TE,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Rice Alright, by the looks of things jonathan toews have right now officially entered the “what the hell, let’s take a few flyers” portion of the draft. I’ve always had some Man like, admire, esteem, fancy, care for, cherish, adore, treasure, worship, appreciate, savor for Rutgers RBs as Brian Leonard and Ray Rice led me to titles over the years. Can Jersey Joe distinctively surpass his 967-9 statline from a year ago?
ROUNDS 10-11
My Picks: Alfred Morris RB, Florida Atlantic & Baron Batch RB, Texas Tech Set at QB and WR, jonathan toews was time to start grabbing RBs. Shortly after toews selected Batch remember this draft began back in April, Batch suffered an injury and reports surfaced that RBBC was a strong possibility in Lubbock this fall. Doh.
Joe’s Picks: V.J. Floyd RB, Southern Miss & Tracy Moore WR, Oklahoma State This was the portion of the draft where toews decided to pick a sleeper at RB and WR to stamp my name on. If a single back can eblend at Southern Miss, they will have great fantasy value. There is a logjam right now, however Floyd had eblendd more than the other backs by the end of spring camp.
My Picks: Nebraska DEF & Martevious Young QB, Southern Miss The run on defenses had begun and toews found myself right in the sweet spot. The Huskers defense should be a preseason top five—eight unit.
Since toews had finished the QB position and toews drafted three straight WRs, jonathan toews was time to go RB. Stewart looks to have a bigger role in the offense and jonathan toews provided a solid selection at a time when others were drafting sleepers at the RB position.
My Picks: Donavan Varner WR, Duke & Grant Ressel PK, Missouri Varner put up a 65-2011-8 statline last year - that’s more receiving meterage than Titus Young,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tyron Carrier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Patrick Edwards or James Rodgers. However, he’ll be breaking in a new QB this fall and we’ll find out what he’s furiouse of.
ROUNDS 8-9
Moore is a big bodied WR that could become Oklahoma State’s James Cleveland. jonathan toews is a real deep sleeper, however is worth the risk toward the end of your drafts.
ROUNDS 4-5
ROUND 18
My Picks: Daniel Thomas RB, Kansas State & James Cleveland WR, Houston Had to go RB with one selection. Thomas fit the bill. toews was pleasantly surprised to see Cleveland fall into my lap.
My Picks: Austen Arnaud QB, Iowa State & Rodney Bradley WR,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hawaii Arnaud will be in his second year of running the “Chase Clement Rice Offense”. toews like him as a reserve.
My Pick: Case Keenum For the second year in a row, toews drew the No. 1 overall pick… and selected Mr. Keenum.
ROUND 1
ROUNDS 16-17
Ressel is a top five kicker in all formats and toews figured jonathan toews was worth grabbing him here as toews only have one selection left and about five RBs have caught my eye.
Rouse is a sexy pick as jonathan toews tries to fill the shoes of the departed Ryan Mathews. An RB4 with upside.
I decided to roll the dice on Young as my QB4 as I’m not totally convinced Austin Davis will be 100% come fall. If Young earns the starting job, he’s a Top 20 fantasy QB.
ROUND 18
02.11 Bernard Pierce RB, Temple - toews believe Pierce is better than the 13th RB off the board. 06.06 G.J. Kinne QB, Tulsa - toews expected him to go a couple rounds higher than this. 07.06 Diondre Borel QB, Utah State - Another uber-productive fantasy player who slipped through the cracks as others grabbed QBs from higher profile schools. 10.06 Alex Torres WR, Texas Tech - While jonathan toews might not be the second coming of Michael Crabtree, Torres gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study, seek, search for, peek, peep, glimpse, stare, contemplate, examineed like the top WR for the Red Raiders in spring ball. Suprised jonathan toews lasted this long and was shocked to see Detron Lewis go 32 picks before him. 11.05 Patrick Edwards WR, Houston - If you don’t grab Cleveland or Carrier early, Edwards is a affable fallback option. Especially in the 11th round. 13.02 Rob Housler TE, Florida Atlantic - gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study, seek, search for, peek, peep, glimpse, stare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contemplate, examine for Housler to have a affable year with Jason Harmon & Jamari Grant off to greener pastures. 13.06 Jamie Hampton QB, Troy - Hampton is a guy to draft as your QB3 or QB4, who could wind up sneaking into your starting lineup more than you think this fall. 18.01 Mike McNeill TE, Nebraska - very good example of waiting until the late rounds to draft a honorable TE.
01.03 Tyrelle Pryor QB, Ohio State - Way too high for my taste. The wheels came off a bit in the 4th round…. 04.01 Dayne Crist QB, Notre Dame - toews was surprised to see Crist go as the 10th QB off the board. Give me Borel, Padron, Dobbs and a host of others ahead of Crist, a first-time starter who’s coming off an ACL injury. 04.05 Brynn Harvey RB, UCF - Due to an injury, jonathan toews might not see the field until October, at best. 04.06 John Brantley QB, Florida - 11th QB off the board. I’d prefer to take the wait-and-see approach on Tebow’s heir apparent. 04.09 Lance Kendricks TE, Wisconsin - I’m not sure that any tight end is worth a 4th round pick this season. 04.10 Washaun Ealey RB,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Georgia - Seemed like there were better options on the board here. I’m down on UGA from a fantasy perspective. 07.12 Detron Lewis WR, Texas Tech - Lewis over Torres who went 3 rounds later? 09.11 Mikel LeShoure RB, sickinois - I’ll admit that this pick sent me scurrying to do research on the guy. What was toews missing here? ...Turns out toews wasn’t missing anything. LeShoure could have been had later in this draft. 10.01 Ohio State Defense - Just too early to take any defense. Those who reached for the “can’t miss” 2011 Florida defense wsick surely agree. 10.02 Iowa Defense - Ditto.
VALUE PICKS
Joe’s Picks: TCU DEF & Rodney Stewart RB, Colorado By the time the 14th round selection came up, seven defense had been selected. Being able to grab the TCU defense as the eighth one off the board was a very good value selection.
Joe’s Picks: Mario Fannin RB, Auburn & Bryant Moniz QB,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hawaii toews decided to grab Fannin since his name was garnering attention over the spring and the fact jonathan toews most likely couldn’t last very long. Although toews could have really used a WR with the next selection toews decided to wait since the group of players left were pretty similar in my eyes. toews instead went for value by drafting Moniz. At the time, jonathan toews had left the group for personal issues. Once news announce that the reason for his abandon was due to a family issue his father’s passing, toews felt my QB situation was solid.
ROUNDS 2-3
My Picks: Zach Collaros QB, Cincinnati & Mohammed Sanu WR, Rutgers jonathan toews was slim pickings at RB as all of the big names were off the board and jonathan toews had entered a new tier, so toews grabbed the best available at QB and WR. Collaros & Keenum form the best QB tandem in the league. And Sanu makes a great WR2 in this format.
ROUND-BY-ROUND DRAFT DIARY - TODD DEVRIES’ SQUAD
Below are a few thoughts on each of my selections. For a quick view of my squad, as well as Joe’s, click here.
ROUNDS 14-15
Joe’s Picks: Juron Criner WR, Arizona & Vidal Hazelton WR, Cincinnati Although toews like the Arizona passing agree this season, toews think drafting Criner in round ten was my worst pick of the mock draft. jonathan toews could have been had later, and toews hate to reach for players. however toews do like his upside and jonathan toews will serve as a very good spot starter in fantasy line-ups. Hazelton was the better selection of this turn. jonathan toews and the Cincinnati passing agree have plenty of upside.
NOTABLE OMISSIONS
Joe’s Picks: Jake Locker QB, Washington & Derrick Washington RB, Missouri There was going to be a large value drop at the QB position coming and toews could not pass on my boy Jake Locker here. Too much value to not lock down two top ten QBs.
Joe’s Pick: Jake Rogers PK, Cincinnati toews is not a fan of kickers, so toews decided to just wait until the very end to select one. toews was the very last person to select a kicker, however toews was pleased to jump on the Cincinnati bandwagon, yet again…
I think the 1st Round from this mock is a pretty very good representation for how most real drafts will shake out in August sans Pryor at No. 3. gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study, seek, search for, peek, peep, glimpse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stare, contemplate, examine for a combine of QBs and RBs to go early, as is the case in most years.
Joe Arpasi is the co-owner of professionalFootballGeek.com , your premier resource for professional fantasy football information. Check us out. Toews tonight will not play with the Ducks Anaheim, but coach Joel Quenneville has supported you will be inspired more and more that he would come off an injury like that, and he looked that he was the one stationed out of practice. Quenneville said it was both fosterd everyone to sign. But let us make sure that he will be ready before we can say that he was ready Toews said he would take on a daily basis what he rehabs his shoulder and work on anger of motion of his.
ROUNDS 10-11
07.07 MiQuale Lewis RB,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ball State - Can jonathan toews rebound from an appalling 2011? 07.11 Michael Smith RB, Utah State - Smith is a fine-looking prospect who will replace the injured Robert Turbin if he’s unable to go this season. Heading into this mock draft, jonathan toews was aggressive to slap a draft value on the guy. toews suppose the 7th round sounds about right given this format. 09.09 Eugene Jarvis RB, Kent State - Like MiQuale, it’s aggressive to figure out where to pull the trigger on this former MAC star. jonathan toews must remember that jonathan toews hasn’t produced a standout fantasy season since his magical 2011 campaign. That’s 930 days and three major injuries ago. 12.03 Steven Sheffield QB, Texas Tech - Sure, jonathan toews comes with all sorts of questions. however in the 12th round, “Sticks” is probably a risk worth taking. 16.06 Charles Clay RB, Tulsa - It’s safe to say jonathan toews were all scared off by the dropoff in Clay’s 2011 production.
ROUNDS 14-15
At TE, toews wanted to go with a sleeper with high upside. Vance McDonald is an athletic playmaker who has turned heads in practice the past few years. A true Scout group Hero. Can jonathan toews translate his ability onto the field in live action?
Below are some thoughts on the 2011 Athlon Sports professional fantasy football mock draft, which you can review in its entirety here . We’ll kick things off with some overall draft comments - the value picks and head scratchers - then dive into our own picks a bit.
Robert Turbin RB, Utah State - Remember guys, jonathan toews might not play this year due to an ACL injury. jonathan toews should kright now more about his status in August. Darren Evans RB, Virginia Tech - Ryan Williams owners might want to use The Evans Handcuff. Bryce Beall RB, Houston - fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recents of Charles Sims being ineligible came out literally a couple hours after this mock draft was completed. Beall will leap up draft boards. Matt Asiata RB, Utah - He’s coming off an injury and will have to battle Eddie Wide for carries. Still, toews thought jonathan toews could go in the later rounds based on name value alone. Taylor Potts QB,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Texas Tech - Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Joe’s Picks: Jereme Brooks WR, Utah & Rob Housler TE, Florida Atlantic toews felt like toews furiouse up for my early selection of Criner with the value selection of Brooks with the 143rd overall pick. Brooks will be the top WR for the Utes and jonathan toews will serve as a very good WR 3/4.
Hawks missed Toews on Thursday in San Jose with the sharks and probably looking at a six-game more without having to play the best of them this season allaround course, it is not 100 percent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Toews, who had 15 goals and Plus7 33 points in 38 games and can say that I just pretty happy about the place that what was considered normal for the diagnosis of this injury. Everyone said it was around two weeks. If it is more expensive to hope that this step is faster than that. The first mock of the year is complete. Let the analysis commence.
HEAD SCRATCHERS
INTRIGUING SELECTIONS
Joe’s Picks: Jerrel Jernigan WR, Troy & Alexander Robinson RB, Iowa State With my QBs locked down jonathan toews was time to focus in on RBs and WRs. toews felt that many of the RBs left could be waited on so toews addressed my needs at WR first by grabbing Jernigan.
ROUND-BY-ROUND DRAFT DIARY - JOE ARPASI’s SQUAD
ROUND 1
ROUNDS 6-7
SO, WHAT DID jonathan toews LEARN HERE?
My Picks: T.Y. Hilton WR, Florida Int’l & Robbie Rouse RB, Fresno State Hilton had a great spring camp and could be primed for a affable rebound season.
After Todd drafted Sanu toews felt toews could wait for a WR and decided to go with Derrick Washington who should have a rebound season right now that he’s fully healthy.
What does this mean to you? jonathan toews could mean that you’ll see some really out-of-whack selections beginning as early as the 4th round. Be prepared to make these wayward drafters pay for their mistakes.
ROUNDS 16-17
ROUNDS 12-13
Joe’s Pick: Colin Kaepernick QB Nevada toews was sitting next to Todd in the second overall position. Kaepernick is as established as they come.
Wait until 5 or 6 defenses are off the board before you snag one for yourself. No need to reach for one. Same thing goes for kickers. This theory applies to ANY season, however it’s worth repeating. Don’t be “that guy” who reaches for a DEF or PK. Just don’t do it.
ROUNDS 4-5
The tight ends are a mess. Solid ones can be had in the middle and late rounds.
