It’s official. We’re in the middle rounds of our Fantasy Football Experts Draft known as #TwitMock 2012! We hope you’ve enjoyed it so far. The experts have been leery of drafting quarterbacks and tight ends, but these next few rounds should change some of that. They’ll also be looking to fill backup spots among running backs and wide receivers.
Follow along here and on Twitter for over the better course of a week as Fantasy writers make picks.
We’ll also be tweeting analysis about each of our picks, and the analysis will be posted here for readers to follow along with.
Here are the picks and write-ups from:
This draft began on Monday, Aug. 13, with the hashtag #TwitMock.

2012 Fantasy Football Mock Draft
ROUND SEVEN
7.01 Kenny Britt, WR, Tennessee Titans
Eric Mack of SportsIllustrated.com
#TwitMock 2012 7.01 WR Kenny Britt, TEN: Some baggage, but also lot of potential, particularly if Locker takes off. http://t.co/939X8IWk
— Eric Mack (@EricMackSports) August 16, 2012
7.02 Vernon Davis, TE, San Francisco 49ers
Jason Garcia of 365FantasySports.com
#TwitMock 7.02: Was hoping Britt would fall back to me, but I'll take Vernon Davis instead. http://t.co/1FX4sQxy
— NitroDraft (@NitroDraft) August 16, 2012
7.03 Philip Rivers, QB, San Diego Chargers
Jim Day of FantasyTaz.com
#TwitMock 7.03: Even in a bad 2011Rivers was the #7 QB in this system. Was 4th year before. Like his chances to bb. http://t.co/Cok0rj9S
— Jim Day (@Fantasytaz) August 16, 2012
7.04 Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints
Geoff Stein of MyFantasyLeague.com
@Fantasytaz: #TwitMock 7.04 Mark Ingram, RB, NO: Think he gets 200 carries in the high-powered Saints offense. http://t.co/PBHxSQO0
— MyFantasyLeague.com (@MyFantasyLeague) August 16, 2012
7.05 Peyton Manning, QB, Denver Broncos
David Gonos of DavidGonos.com
#TwitMock 7.05 #Broncos Peyton Manning: 11th QB taken, huge upside, will back him up w/ QB2 soon http://t.co/yhByWlHs #fingerscrossed
— David Gonos (@davidgonos) August 16, 2012
7.06 Robert Meachem, WR, San Diego Chargers
J.J. Zachariason of LateRoundQB.com
#TwitMock 7.06 Robert Meachem, SD: I've been a Meachem flip-flopper, but think he's got a chance in that offense. http://t.co/bp7JqPkb
— JJ Zachariason (@LateRoundQB) August 16, 2012
7.07 Jonathan Stewart, RB, Carolina Panthers
Nick Radacanu of FantasyTrade411.com
7.08 Justin Blackmon, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
TC Cannon of FantasySharks.com
#TwitMock .. 7.08 Blackmon JAX — As Mr. Everything in JAX, he has limits.. and oppertunity. Will he have 3 scores per month, or 3 total?
— TC Cannon (@_TCCannon) August 16, 2012
7.09 Michael Crabtree, WR, San Francisco 49ers
Bob Harris of FootballDiehards.com
#TwitMock 2012 7.09 WR Michael Crabtree, SF: ranked 7th in NFL in catches & 10th in rec yds final 11 wks last year http://t.co/7s7Vzvri
— Bob Harris (@footballdiehard) August 16, 2012
7.10 Titus Young, WR, Detroit Lions
Matt De Lima of FFToolbox.com
Grabbing Titus Young at 7.10 is a reach, about a round early. That said, I think he's one of the most obvious sleepers of 2012. #TwitMock

7.11 Denarius Moore, WR, Oakland Raiders

Paul Greco of FantasyPros911.com
8.02 Fred Davis, TE, Washington Redskins
Jake Ciely of RotoExperts.com
#TwitMock: Fred Davis, WAS: Finished as 12th-best TE while missing 4gms to suspension. Stays on field, stays in Top 10 http://t.co/psKyF1iT
— Jake Ciely (@allinkid) August 16, 2012
8.03 Roy Helu, RB, Washington Redskins
Matt De Lima of FFToolbox.com
Roy Helu should be the RB1 for Washington. Faith is required to believe Shanahan will follow through on that though. #TwitMock

8.04 Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Bob Harris of FootballDiehards.com
#TwitMock 2012 8.04 QB Ben Roethlisberger, PIT: not sure the whole "run-first" thing is going to work out for Steelers http://t.co/7s7Vzvri
— Bob Harris (@footballdiehard) August 16, 2012

8.08 David Wilson, RB, N.Y. Giants
David Gonos of DavidGonos.com
#TwitMock 8.08 #Giants David Wilson -Time to grab RBs that need help to become top 20 RBs. Mad I missed out on Ridley http://t.co/EqVVYKyg
— David Gonos (@davidgonos) August 17, 2012
8.09 Beanie Wells, RB, Arizona Cardinals
Geoff Stein of MyFantasyLeague.com
#TwitMock 8.09 Beanie Wells, RB, ARI: There is no way to justify drafting him. I'll plead temporary insanity… http://t.co/gLjjbQKX
— MyFantasyLeague.com (@MyFantasyLeague) August 17, 2012
8.10 Tony Gonzalez, TE, Atlanta Falcons
Jim Day of FantasyTaz.com
#TwitMock 8.10 TE Tony Gonzalez: Gonza may be done after 2012, but he will go out with a bang. http://t.co/AIc9JQ5v
