The annual GSI Mock Draft is complete and the grades are in. Our 10-team mock draft offered some surprises, but also provided great input for owners on want to expect in their upcoming drafts. I was pretty happy with my team, giving myself an A.
I had the No. 2 overall pick and knew I was going to get Peterson or L.T., and actually I would rather have A-Pete. My starting line-up consists of QB - Carson Palmer, RB - Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones-Drew, WR - Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes, TE - Jeremy Shockey, FLEX (if used) - either Selvin Young or LenDale White, PK- Josh Scobee, and DEF - Giants.
In the end, my team looks as if it is going to be amongst the league's elite, but there are a few teams that will scare me and even one that I gave an A+ too. Check out my draft recap below and be sure to check out the complete grades and analysis.
Here was the order of my picks.
2. RB - Adrian Peterson - MIN
19. RB - Maurice Jones-Drew - JCK
22. WR - Braylon Edwards - CLE
39. QB - Carson Palmer - CIN
42. WR - Santonio Holmes - PIT
59. RB - Selvin Young - DEN
62. RB - LenDale White - TEN
79. WR - Kevin Curtis - PHI
82. WR - Joey Galloway - TB
99. DEF - Giants - NYG
102. TE - Jeremy Shockey - NO
119. RB - Ahmad Bradshaw - NYG
122. QB - Vince Young - TEN
139. PK - Josh Scobee - JCK
FINAL TAKE: Peterson is a stud and there appears to be plenty of backs in the stable. The passing game compliments things well, assuming Edwards, Holmes, and Shockey live up to their potential. Depth at receiver could go either way though as Curtis and Galloway both come with some risk. Young could bomb, but at least Palmer provides durability.
