    Great draft. Very good value on Jimmy Graham and Alfred Morris. Good strategy of going QB late and insuring your QB with a solid QB2. I also love Khiry Robinson in the 11th. You picked well. The only thing I may change is drafting a higher upside QB. You have a very solid QB2 (who is about as good as your QB1), so you might as well take some risk at that position. But that's just if we're getting nitpicky.

    The mock is like practice reps, nothing more. Its never like the real draft or your league, unless you are mocking with people in your league. Familiar leagues have tendencies. For example my office league; I know that my boss is a QB guy so any QBs available in the first round if he is ahead of me, gone. Also there is another person from San Diego who still clings to the days when Brees was there, so Brees is gone. I know the rest of them are savvy so its now you to the rest of us to do the rb rb wr wr dance.

    I've recently mocked at different sites; yahoo, espn, fantasypros (vs an AI draft bot). I've side by side comparisons, i.e. choosing 7th in a standard 10 man league. Each has had very similar and some very different outcomes. For me to get any insight here, I'd have to see which site you used and how the complete draft board looked. I know when you got your players but I'd like to line up who else was there at the time. I could reverse engineer it, but that would take to much time. I am totally sold on the late QB/TE pick, I like the math that numberfire argues the point. I personally picked up on it last year (my first year of FFB) and streamed my way into the playoffs in my office over guys that have been doing it for years. I followed the 2 RB pick up, but at the front of the draft (AP and Gore) and that might have been my down fall.

    I'm 100% against Graham in Round 1, but you saw pretty decent value in Round 2. I'm still a late TE/QB person, but that wasn't bad. Love Jennings in the flex. One thing I'd say is to get a difference maker at WR, but both Cobb and Cruz provide decent weekly floors. Good stuff overall - way to go late-round QB!

    The way I look at it, if went Graham that early might as well back it up with Brees in the next round if he was still on the board. So against a TE this early, Do the math.

    Excellent draft. Basically you have a #1 in each RB/WR/TE position. I'm high on Lacy as my #5 overall. I would pick him over Marshawn Lynch (both hovering-switching from #5-#6 position). Getting Graham at 2nd round - after securing #1 RB, is absolutely killer. (in real draft - i think he will be gone late first rounds). Lacy- Cobb may have some weeks, where the Pack run more, negating Cobb's upside, but who cares - both play for Rodgers, so as long as he remains healthy. Terrance Williams is my breakout pick. Love the late QB pick, i'd recommend reading about QBBC strategy.
