Post Mock Team Breakdown



Here's a closer and more complete look at each roster heading into round 6 (not counting IDP keeps at this point).

SchoolGirls:
Tony Romo
Roddy White, Chad Ochocinco,
Michael Turner, Chris Johnson
Jason Witten, Antonio Gates
Julius Peppers

Drury has all the big pieces in place yet leaves himself short a player by keeping Turner in the 4th round. One has to question grabbing Gates over a wide receiver when he has Witten already but as long as he's comfortable rolling with 85, Drury has to feel decent after the first hour or so...

DNice:
Tom Brady
Adrian Peterson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Michael Bush, Marion Barber
Steve Smith (NYG), Michael Crabtree, Wes Welker
Karlos Dansby

You gotta love the New England affection from DNice Central! Doesn't it seem like there's a profile of a United player because every season he's selecting RBs with opportunities and high target wideouts all while rolling with an elite QB? All he needs now is Dawkins! Plus, bringing Karlos back for a ring makes sense for the newest Dolphin.

Brain:
Jay Cutler
Cedric Benson, LeSean McCoy, Matt Forte
Hines Ward, Devin Aromashodu
Vernon Davis
Ray Lewis

Brain always drafts well...for his trade partners! This time is no different. From the looks of it, the blockbuster trade should prove useful in the trade market because that value is tough to argue with...Not to mention, he has HIS guy throwing the rock which has to make anyone comfortable knowing what we do about the mad scientist, Mike Martz.

100% Juice:
Aaron Rogers
Ray Rice, Frank Gore, Arian Foster
Andre Johnson, Mike Wallace
Jermichael Finley
Terrell Suggs

Is it possible for Juice to miss on numbers 3 or 4? Time will tell, but his squad's life absolutely depends on nailing both picks because that wide receiver situation is far from enviable (unlike in years past) not to mention a fluid situation down in Houston. Love the Finley pick! And T-Sizzle, well, maybe you know something the rest of us doesn't or maybe you just love the prospect of getting an angry Suggs off the edge in Baltimore after an abysmal 2009! Perhaps though, you just like messing with Conley...

Legend:
Matt Schaub
Rashard Mendenhall, Beanie Wells
Dwayne Bowe, Pierre Garcon, Robert Meachem, Larry Fitzgerald, Santana Moss
Demarcus Ware

Looks good so far but keep in mind Mendenhall is a high keep and 4 of your wide receivers are far from ideal. Can't say I see any value in that sorry bunch but I've been wrong before...And to reiterate - you won't keep Ryan and will draft Schaub in the 3rd. Book it!

Flava:
Joe Flacco
Shonn Greene, Ryan Mathews, Jahvid Best
Randy Moss, Mike Sims-Walker, Jeremy Maclin
Tony Gonzalez
Rolando McClain

Well well well...our little Rick is growing up! A nice blend of above average talent at each position and the makings of some nice depth picks later on. And Rolando McClain...that guy was fitted for the Flava uniform back in April! Too bad you have to go that early to get him.

PE:
Peyton Manning
Steve Slaton, Knowshon Moreno
Chris Chambers, Steve Smith (Car), TJ Houshmandzadeh
Dallas Clark
London Fletcher

Welcome aboard, Danny Boy! In case you haven't noticed, your roster sucks so I suspect you'll be living off those "two-time champ" comebacks for the foreseeable future. Do yourself a favor and make a move. Smart guys, and even stubborn ones like yourself, know better than to knowingly put yourself in a hole. Oh, and you better grab Peyton early because if not, there's a jersey sitting at UCB headquarters as we speak. Can't pass up countless kickers and a contract year...

Ninja Mafia:
Kevin Kolb
Maurice Jones-Drew, Pierre Thomas, Jonathan Stewart
Marques Colston, Reggie Wayne, DeSean Jackson, Vincent Jackson
Jon Beason

From what felt like a dynamic roster somehow feels a bit mediocre, doesn't it? It's not like I've manipulated anything....this is it. In fact, it's not even sexy which is surprising given your splashy reputation. And despite your affinity for Reggie, isn't he a bit like Colston nowadays? Do you really need an inconsistent wr in a target rich corp? I suppose the VJax pick tells us how desperate you'll eventually get! And you know IDPs will be flying when you're up...be prepared!

UCB:
Jamaal Charles, Joseph Addai
Miles Austin, Sidney Rice, Hakeem Nicks, Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings, Dez Bryant
Barrett Ruud

You laugh. Question marks all over the place. If Haley is really rolling with the hot hand, CJ II is the guy. How could he not be - he was voted the Chiefs MVP last season after they released LJ and he went on to perform neck and neck with Chris Johnson the second half of the season. Don't believe it? Look it up. And Sidney Rice is in a contract year with his boy Favre coming back. Do you really think Favre can pass up on the spotlight and $20,000,000? Nicks is cleared already and the clear starter. Jennings ended 2009 on a rampage when Finley got the majority of snaps at TE. And Dez will be fine when I need him...

Dumb and Dangerous:
Drew Brees
Ryan Grant, Steven Jackson, Felix Jones, Ronnie Brown
Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall
Brent Celek
Jonathan Vilma

Boldin and Marshall. That's all you have in a PPR? This is why SJax falling to you is a nightmare. You have to take him. But God it sucks...You better hope Grant is legit, Ronnie really is back (and Ricky isn't), and Felix's extra pounds don't impact him like Slaton last season. I do love Celek, though. But the Vilma pick is going to hurt at the end of round 5.
