2008 Fantasy Football Bloggers Mock Draft Update Round 1 | FantasyFootballGoat.com Blog

If you are anything like me, you are starving for any football discussion that doesn't include Brett Favre (please make it stop!). So, I figured I would give you an update on a little mock draft that some very football savvy bloggers and I have been participating in over the last week or so.

So far, not many surprises but round two is a pick away and there are usually a few head turners to be had. Check it out.

Oh, and before I forget, make sure you stop by each of these blogs and add them to your reader (or sign up for email updates). That way you will never, ever miss even a morsel of fantasy football information from now until you are counting your first place cash.

Here ya go;

Curveballs 4 Jesus: L. Tomlinson
Sean McCall: A. Peterson
Football Burrito: J. Addai
Pancake Blocks: S. Jackson
West Coast Nonsense: B. Westbrook
Bruno Boys: T. Brady
The Hazean: M. Barber
Football Jabber: F. Gore
Fantasy Football Fools: C. Portis
Fantasy Football Geek Blog: M. Lynch
Fantasy Football Goat: Larry Johnson
Fantasy Football Librarian: Randy Moss

I was all over Marshawn Lynch until Matt and Brandon over at FFGeeksBlog wisely picked him just before me (props to them) which led me to taking Larry Johnson.

I'm not crazy about taking him considering the laundry list of question marks surrounding his supporting staff; the line, the QB and experience in general. But he's the best player on his team (equaling touches), an every down back (rare these days) and has a schedule filled with "projected" weak run d's.

Add to that the fact that you gotta think he'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder after a dismal 2007. I'll take my chances.

Lynch would have been a steal for you, but LJ comes with plenty of questions. Iif the league is PPR, then Moss was a huge value too. Not thrilled by the Portis pick. His career seems to go up and down fantasy-wise. Whenever he gets drafted high, his season usually doesn't merit the pick.

Agree with the Portis pick..., I just don't see him as a top 10 RB this year. I would've selected Westbrook over Addai though..., just think he's more of a complete player than Addai. Plus with whoever the Eagles have at WR, McNabb or whoever QB's this team will be going to Westbrooke more often.

Portis would be a decent backup. I don't see wasting a first round pick on him though.

Thanks T,

Yeah I was hoping for Lynch and I got LJ the question mark BUT it is a mock draft. Just nice to be getting the wheels turning again. We are almost there.

Thanks Kev, Red Zone and Crean,

I am in agreement with you on Portis. He makes me nervous but I suppose I can see them - FFFools - making a case for it.

Thanks for the comments.
