The 7th Round of the GSI Mock Draft officially marks the midway point. Now is the time to build depth and fill out the starting line-up.

RECAP: ROUND 1 | ROUND 2 | ROUND 3 | ROUND 4 | ROUND 5 | ROUND 6

Here's Round 7:
61. PREUTH - Santana Moss - WR
62. CLASGENS - LenDale White - RB
63. HUMBERT - Fred Taylor - RB
64. BOLTON - Chris Chambers - WR
65. DINSMORE - Chris Cooley - TE
66. MURDICO - Matt Forte - RB
67. SIMS - Calvin Johnson - WR
68. SIMON - Hines Ward - WR
69. WETZEL - Dwayne Bowe - WR
70. FISCHER - Kevin Smith - RB

My Pick: LenDale White became my fourth RB. With my top tight ends off the board and with two WR's already in my line-up, I opt to build depth at running back, by following up last round's pick on Selvin Young with White. That gives me Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew and the two back-ups. Either player makes an ideal flex and could easily catapult into my line-up. I am not crazy about White's 3.7 YPC in last year and he's nearly a non-factor in the passing game, but his 303 attempts last year was sixth best in the NFL and with Chris Brown out of the equation he should continue to shoulder the bulk of the load.

Biggest Reach: This may have been the best all-around round of the draft. There is not a single player that was taken out of position. In fact, many of the picks have a tremendous amount of upside for the spot - Taylor, Forte, Johnson, Bowe, and R. White.

Final Take: I am a big fan of building depth at the most coveted of positions - RB and WR - rather than going after DEF and second-tier TE's just to fill out a line-up. In this round at least, my fellow owners followed suit. Through seven rounds we have yet to see a DEF or PK, but that is about to change.

To say the season has been disappointing for the Mariners would be like saying gas prices are getting a bit high. At the center of their disappointment has been the trade for lefthander Eric Bedard. He was yet another pitcher that the Reds were speculated to be in the market for before the season, but Cincinnati was unwilling to come off its top talent.

The Mariners couldn't resist as they sent phenom Adam Jones and four other players, including All-Star closer George Sherrill to the Orioles in the exchange for the so-called ace.

Bedard has not delivered on his promise to point posting a 6-4 record with a 3.67 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 81 innings while battling arm problems. He is signed through 2009, but the Mariners, who appear destined for a hardcore rebuilding, would like to shop him as the deadline nears. However, an arm injury is getting in the way. He is currently serving his second stint on the DL of the seasaon and despite being eligilble to come off of it on Sunday, Bedard is likely not going to return to the mound until August.

Seattle manager Jim Riggleman said Friday the tightness in Bedard's left shoulder did not improve over the All-Star break, so he will not even throw a baseball until Monday when will try to play catch. If that goes well, Bedard could throw a bullpen session next week, but the team is not trying to get him back pitching in game before the July 31 non-waivers trading deadline just so it can showcase him to potential suitors, according to the Associated Press.

I am glad the Reds didn't listen me on this one.
