2014 Fantasy Football Mock Draft
ROUND ONE
1.01 Arian Foster, RB, Houston Texans
Eric Mack of SportsIllustrated.com
#TwitMock 2012 1.01 RB Arian Foster, HOU: Has highest ceiling of the top 3 and the weakest passing game to take his TDs http://t.co/cFpZn0Yw
— Eric Mack (@EricMackSports) August 13, 2012
1.02 LeSean McCoy, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
Jason Garcia of 365FantasySports.com
#TwitMock 1.02 Not a big fan of Flacco and the Ravens O so going with Shady McCoy over Rice http://t.co/TQvD5ZJa
— NitroDraft (@NitroDraft) August 13, 2012
1.03 Ray Rice, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Jim Day of FantasyTaz.com
#TwitMock 2012 is off. I took Ray Rice at 1.03. He has averaged 1961 total yrds last 3 years & had 15 TDs in 2011. http://t.co/22EOEZ5e
— Jim Day (@Fantasytaz) August 13, 2012
1.04 Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit Lions
Geoff Stein of MyFantasyLeague.com
#TwitMock 2012 1.04 WR Calvin Johnson, DET: The pick to make with the top-3 RBs off the board. http://t.co/OLp7Mhgs
— MyFantasyLeague.com (@MyFantasyLeague) August 13, 2012
1.05 Chris Johnson, RB, Tennessee Titans
David Gonos of DavidGonos.com
#TwitMock 1.05 RB Chris Johnson – Love a great talent coming off a horrible year. He's pissed and back in shape. http://t.co/5D8HVWzY
— David Gonos (@davidgonos) August 13, 2012
1.06 Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders
J.J. Zachariason of LateRoundQB.com
#TwitMock 1.06 RB Darren McFadden – If he's healthy, he's a top-5 back. Yeah, I know – that's a big "if". http://t.co/yVgulVo4
— JJ Zachariason (@LateRoundQB) August 13, 2012
1.07 Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers
Nick Radacanu of FantasyTrade411.com
#TwitMock 1.07 QB Aaron Rodgers – I couldn't justify any of the remaining RB's at 7, so I'll be boring and play it safe http://t.co/Hvf42XNl
— Pizza with little pizzas on top (@StickToPizza) August 13, 2012
#TwitMock 1.07 QB Aaron Rodgers (cont) I don't like going QB this early, but @LateRoundQB & @DavidGonos thew me a curve http://t.co/Hvf42XNl
— Pizza with little pizzas on top (@StickToPizza) August 13, 2012
1.08 Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
TC Cannon of FantasySharks.com
#TwitMock .. QB Brady NEHowever, QB Brady is headed for another can't-miss season. Given the draft position, he's ideal FF anchor.
— TC Cannon (@_TCCannon) August 13, 2012
1.09 DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Bob Harris of FootballDiehards.com
#TwitMock 2012 1.09 RB DeMarco Murry, DAL: TR nicked, don't trust MJD, format not ideal 4 Forte. Process of elimination http://t.co/x0CdpqnA
— Bob Harris (@footballdiehard) August 13, 2012
1.10 Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Matt De Lima of FFToolbox.com
Late 1st round picks are all high risk/reward. I'll take that risk since MJD is a huge steal at 1.10 if he plays 16 games. #TwitMock

1.11 Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seattle Seahawks

— Paul Greco (@PaulGreco) August 14, 2012
ROUND TWO
2.01 Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals
Paul Greco of FantasyPros911.com
#TwitMock 2.1 Larry Fitzgerald, Ari Cardinals. Gettin a top-notch receiver in a 3WR set was important. No QB, no prob. Dude still puts it up
— Paul Greco (@PaulGreco) August 14, 2012
2.02 Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints
Jake Ciely of RotoExperts.com
#TwitMock 2012 2.02 QB Drew Brees, NO: HATE taking QBs early. But, Brees way too much value here. No Payton? Brees ran that offense anyway!
— Jake Ciely (@allinkid) August 13, 2012
2.03 Adrian Peterson, RB, Minnesota Vikings
Matt De Lima of FFToolbox.com
AP is my generation's OJ Simpson. We all know he's getting the ball, yet he still kills it. See what I did there? #TwitMock

2.04 Trent Richardson, RB, Cleveland Browns
Bob Harris of FootballDiehards.com
#TwitMock 2012 2.04 Heavily invested or not, love Richardson as my RB2 (peeps who know tell me knee isn't a concern) http://t.co/x0CdpqnA
— Bob Harris (@footballdiehard) August 13, 2012
2.05 Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots
TC Cannon of FantasySharks.com
#TwitMock 2012 1.11 TE Gronk NE… With premium rushers gone, take what is offered. Brady-Gronko combo is solid stuff.
— TC Cannon (@_TCCannon) August 13, 2012
2.06 Jamaal Charles, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Nick Radacanu of FantasyTrade411.com
#TwitMock 2.06 RB Jamaal Charles – I had to go RB…it's getting UGLY & I feel like I can find a TE later in the draft http://t.co/Hvf42XNl
— Pizza with little pizzas on top (@StickToPizza) August 13, 2012
#TwitMock 2.06 RB Jamaal Charles (cont.) – I'm really regretting taking a QB in the first round right about now… http://t.co/Hvf42XNl
— Pizza with little pizzas on top (@StickToPizza) August 13, 2012
2.07 Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons
J.J. Zachariason of LateRoundQB.com
#TwitMock 2.07 WR Julio Jones – Wanted Charles, but I'll buy the Julio Jones hype. http://t.co/gXTITpjl
— JJ Zachariason (@LateRoundQB) August 13, 2012
2.08 Steven Jackson, RB, St. Louis Rams
David Gonos of DavidGonos.com
#TwitMock 2.08 Steven Jackson – Gives me 2 top-10 RBs, but I need the "old man" to stay healthy and keep Pead at bay. Still a rec. threat.
— David Gonos (@davidgonos) August 14, 2012
2.09 Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints
Geoff Stein of MyFantasyLeague.com
#TwitMock 2012 2.09 Jimmy Graham, TE, NO: Now have my No. 1 WR and TE. I'll take it in a PPR-scoring league… http://t.co/OLp7Mhgs
— MyFantasyLeague.com (@MyFantasyLeague) August 14, 2012
2.10 Hakeem Nicks, WR, N.Y. Giants
Jim Day of FantasyTaz.com
#TwitMock 2012 Pick 2.10 Hakeem Nicks WR NYG: Nicks is back in practice & should be ready for wk1. I look for him to rebound nicely in 2012.
— Jim Day (@Fantasytaz) August 14, 2012
#TwitMock 2012 Pick 2.10 Hakeem Nicks WR NYG: Fully expect Nicks to have a career year in 2012 as he puts it all together & stays healthy.
— Jim Day (@Fantasytaz) August 14, 2012
2.11 Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers
Jason Garcia of 365FantasySports.com
#TwitMock 2.11: Very rarely do I pick a QB in the 2nd, but I will for Cam Newton. Rushing TDs down, passing TDs up! http://t.co/DoLpXzaM
— NitroDraft (@NitroDraft) August 14, 2012
2.12 Ryan Mathews, RB, San Diego Chargers
Eric Mack of SportsIllustrated.com
