3.02 Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, N.Y. Giants
Jason Garcia of 365FantasySports.com
#TwitMock: 3.02 Still a lot of WRs on the board, so wanted to secure a 2nd top-notch RB. Ahmad Bradshaw fits the bill. http://t.co/DoLpXzaM

3.07 Andre Johnson, WR, Houston Texans
Nick Radacanu of FantasyTrade411.com
#TwitMock 3.07 Andre Johnson, WR (cont.) – At 3.07, there's just too much talent to pass up (despite any injury risk). http://t.co/32u5Sm6X

3.10 Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions
Matt De Lima of FFToolbox.com
Stafford should've been long gone by 3.10. He could be the top QB in fantasy football this season. #TwitMock

#TwitMock 4.02 Darren Sproles, NO: Took early QB, now staring at stud WR2 or so-so RB2 & know value is @WR, but can I really wait on 2nd RB?

4.03 Victor Cruz, WR, N.Y. Giants

4.08 Demaryius Thomas, WR, Denver Broncos
David Gonos of DavidGonos.com

4.09 Brandon Lloyd, WR, New England Patriots
Geoff Stein of MyFantasyLeague.com

4.11 Percy Harvin, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Jason Garcia of 365FantasySports.com
#TwitMock 4.11: Time to grab a WR in the 4th. Percy Harvin should be the man for Vikes early on so I'm going with him. http://t.co/Mx3gzSDD

4.12 Miles Austin, WR, Dallas Cowboys
