Ten-team Mock Draft

By Arlo Vander

The difference between a ten-team league and a 12-teamer might not seem very large, yet it changes the face of the initial draft considerably. Kevin Jones, for example, is probably a #1 RB in most 12-team leagues, yet with two teams less, he’ll most likely be around to serve as a very strong second back in quite a few ten-teamers. Likewise, players who round out starting rosters in 12-teamers are now available as bench pickups. To take a closer look at how these differences affect the course of the draft, compare this ten-team mock with our recent 12-team draft.

As with any mock draft, the drafters’ preferences and team needs obviously play a role in their respective choices, and a player’s rank might therefore vary from what you might expect from a cheat sheet compiled outside of actual draft conditions.
