Happy New Year! How bout a 2 rounder?


Obviously mocking the first 20 picks without knowing the draft order is a daunting task, but as the 2010 bride's maid I suppose there isn't a better tonic for me after a disappointing December, yet again...

Looking over the keeps for everyone suggests that this season's first round could shift back to an era of RBs early and often. Or perhaps, some of you jokers might actually believe that passing on Reggie Wayne to draft Knowshon Moreno or Jahvid Best is a smart move. Anyways - here we go!






1.01 Chris Johnson

The only way he doesn't go #1 is if SchoolGirls pulls the 1 spot. Book it.

1.02 LeSean McCoy

PPR Gold. Young and forgiving defense. Only consistent piece of that offense...

1.03 Ray Rice

No McGahee means more Rice inside the 10. Plus, the guy should be a PPR monster if Cam Cameron recognizes that he has a more healthy version of Ronnie Brown and a young version of LT on his hands...Come on, Cam - give him the rock and make 'em stop ya!

1.04 Adrian Peterson

"Go ahead and hate me, hate me..." FPTers. But just remember that those fumbling troubles of years past are officially finished - just like Brett and that pervasive negativity in Minny last season. Tough to pass on a top-3 rusher and double-digit tuddies every season...

1.05 Michael Turner

Grinder who needs to move the chains to keep the rock out of Brees and Freeman's hands in 2011. Dangerous offensives next season, boys (Pack, Eagles, Indy, and the Texans, too) and that defense in the ATL lucked out in 2010 - I'll take the best IDPer on the Falcon roster - 20+ carries every week.

1.06 Andre Johnson

Gotta love consistency at wideout. Kicker chances every week and a few haymakers to boot, right Finnegan?

1.07 Calvin Johnson

Tough to argue with the best WR in the league when he puts up sick stats with awful QBs...unbelievable. Hell, the only way to stop him is to steal TDs from him...Chicago ring a bell?

1.08 Frank Gore

Paging Jamal Lewis. Your twin is back in the mix. Juice is throwing him back for a reason...

1.09 Steven Jackson

Did he really play in 16 games? Trend? I doubt it. But Bradford and Co. looks to dominate the West for the next few years and you better believe SJAX is the man to lead them to the postseason.

1.10 Reggie Wayne

He'll singlehandedly win you weeks and require Depends during the others. Like DeSean only with a reliable QB. I'm betting on Peyton.

2.01 Vincent Jackson

If he isn't kept in the 2nd, you gotta think 6'5" playmaker is good for WR1 numbers on a weekly basis. Something tells me SD won't let him go too easily...even AJ Smith knows Lege - doodoo and Floyd won't get it done in 2011.

2.02 Greg Jennings

I personally gave up on this guy too early which is funny because I valued Cedric Benson circa Bears and PT Cruiser a bit too much over the years, I suppose. But I digress - GJ has a place on the UCB roster if available. Period.

2.03 Peyton Manning

I love 300+ and tall foreheads.

2.04 Jahvid Best

You keep telling yourself that week 2 wasn't an anomaly. And Drury will simply laugh...

2.05 Knowshon Moreno

I wonder what Elway thinks of him...TD perhaps?

2.06 Jonathan Stewart

Is this the year? Don't think I'm gonna find out...thoughts, Flava?

2.07 Brandon Marshall

If D&D keeps Bess, then why bet the farm on Henne and Sparano? I know why - Because you're dumb and dangerous.

2.08 Ryan Matthews

Speaking of futility! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, call me D&D!

2.09 Larry Fitzgerald

Because there's always a sucker out there. You know the type - they draft Steve Smith almost every season...right, Fred?

2.10 Dez Bryant

Let the Cowboy hype machine begin! It's too bad really....Drury probably would have taken the trophy in 2010 if not for Tony's bum shoulder.

Just missed the cut...

Forte, Welker, Boldin, Gates, Harvin, DJax...and probably someone I forgot!
