Mock Draft Discussion/Analysis

[daullaz]

I think Atlanta will probably bring in a feature back and keep Rodgers relegated to the same part-time role. They don't need many upgrades at other positions. They probably won't want to meet Steven Jackson's asking price (or will they?), but I can see them bringing in a second-tier FA (won't name names since there's a draft going on).

8.07- DeSean Jackson - WR, PHI

Yes, I think Chip Kelly will have fun with him

Me too.

Scooped again.

I think Alshon Jeffery is decent value at 8.11 - he had some injury problems last year plus he had an idiot OC in Mike Tice - the coaching changes should help him step up in 2013.

Reference the S. Rice pick...will you target him or did you take him as the best WR available?

Gamblin' on my RB3 taking Ryan Williams at 9.02 - always liked this kid but he does have trouble staying healthy - I like what I'm hearing so far for 2013:

New Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Friday that he "loves" Ryan Williams and "lit up" when discussing the 2011 second-round pick.
Arians and Williams both went to Virginia Tech, and it sounds like Arians is smitten with Williams' ability. The 38th overall pick in the 2011 draft, Williams' first two seasons in the league were derailed by major knee and shoulder injuries. He's still only 23 (in April) years old, however, and Arians had success with far less talented Vick Ballard with the Colts in 2012. Jan 18 - 5:13 PM

Cardinals RB Ryan Williams (IR, shoulder) said Wednesday he now feels the best he has in the last two years.
Williams said his shoulder rehab has gone well and the knee that he blew out in 2011 is in great shape. He will go under the knife for a minor follow-up procedure on his shoulder this week, but he expects to be a full-go for spring workouts. With Beanie Wells having one foot out the door and LaRod Stephens-Howling an unrestricted free agent, Williams is trending up heading into 2013. Wed, Dec 26, 2012 12:04:00 PM

I like the DJax & D.Moore picks. I considered both, but I chose Amendola because I think he has more upside in PPR and a better chance to lead his team in receptions...if he somehow stays healthy.

Fred Jackson is old and Spiller is better, but every year he puts up numbers and has a stretch where he is very solid. I can't argue with that in round 9

Hard not to love the potential of Amendola in PPR. If he can stay heatlhy he could be like a more physical Welker. Was really hoping he would fall to me.
