Nice mock. Heres one i did paying close attention to team needs.

1 creeping death – Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
With Maroney being his only feature back on the roster, adding Peterson makes perfect sense.

2 BroncoFan1407 – Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
WR corps is strong but can’t pass up on best player on the draft board.

3 BroncoFan1407 – Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
Romo and Favre are only starting QB's on the roster and Favre ain't getting any younger so QB makes
sense. Russell will be drafted before Quinn in the NFL draft, but if he is taken by the Raiders I don't like his chances of being a fantasy success in a while. Raiders gave up the most sacks last season by quite a few sacks and their oline isnt getting better. Quinn will most likely land in a better situation.

4 Dark Dragons - Marshawn Lynch, RB, California
Toss up between RB and Qb. But if Ricky Williams is your third RB I think RB may be the way to go. Although, Culpepper being your #1 QB doesn’t sound to hot either.

5 Timid Mouse – Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
Could elect to shore up the D-line. Adams looks like the best pash rusher in the draft.

6 Aces Full – Laron Landry, FS, LSU
With Frank Gore being the only starting NFL RB on the roster, could reach for a RB here depending on where the other runningbacks land. After Pacmans recent blunders, could use a DB to help depth behind
Champ.

7 Just2Buff – Patrick Willis, LB, MS
Elects to grap top Inside linebacker in the draft.

8 BayDawgs – Jamal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
Defensive line position is a little thin. Could go Jarvis Moss here too but he may be converted to a LB depending on where he lands.

9 Eternal Ramnation - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
May look to get more QB depth behind Bulger and Losman.

10 Just2Buff – Ted Ginn Jr, WR, Ohio State
There are alot of good receivers in this draft. Much better than last years group. Could also go with Dwayne Jarret, Bowe, Meachem, or Rice.

11 Timid Moose – Paul Posluszny, LB, Penn State
If he is drafted to be an ILB his value goes up, but this guy can make plays. Reminds me of Lofa Tatupu, in that the measurable are specatular, but football IQ and productivy are good.

12 Timid Moose – Mason Crosby, K, Colorado
The Moose was holding his breath that Crosby would still be available here. Could go #1 in some EFS drafts. Could be the steal of the draft at #12. A star who can carry your team on his back, or should I say leg.

[TOTAL DOMINATION]

1.1 – A. Peterson (Creeping Death)
Not a whole lot of explaining to do here. Consensus #1 overall pick by most and team needs a RB. Easy pick.
1.2 - C. Johnson (BroncoFan)
Best WR prospect to come out in years. This is not a need position for Bronco however. If Bronco stays put though, he will have to take “best player available” versus “need”.
1.3 - B. Quinn (BroncoFan)
Personally I believe B. Quinn is a better prospect than J. Russell. That said, wouldn’t disagree with either QB here. Could also go after M. Lynch as well, but I feel since QB is more of a pressing need than RB here. Bronco went best available with last pick so almost have to go need with this one.
1.4 - M. Lynch (Dark Dragons)
This should be an easy pick. RB is a need and Lynch is the best RB on the board. Could go QB as well, but again, think RB is more of a pressing need than QB.
1.5 - P. Willis (Timid Moose)
With the 1st of 3 picks in the top 10, I think we will see the first defensive player come off the board. A little to early to draft a defensive player, but with no real pressing need for QB and both RBs off the board, will have to take next best available player. Works out good since LB is a need and will get the best one in the draft.
1.6 - L. Landry (Aces Full)
Team has a lot of wholes to fill so best available defensive player makes since. L. Landry should help build DB corp. back up and should be a stud for years. We could also see DL go here with G. Adams but overall, Landry appears to be the better prospect.
1.7 - G. Adams (Timid Moose)
Not really a hard pick here. Best DL prospect in draft and team could use one.
1.8 - J. Anderson (BayDawgs)
Have to go DL with this pick. Team has a need and Anderson is the best one available. Russell could be a possibility based on value alone, but need out weighs value at this point.
1.9 - J. Russell (Eternal Ramnation)
If Russell falls this far I think it would be a good value pick for ER. The team could use another QB behind M. Bulger. I think T. Ginn Jr. and D. Jarrett are possibilities here as well since a need for WR does exist. It’s too hard to pass on a QB at this point if he falls though.
1.10 – M. Griffin (Timid Moose)
After taking a LB & DL with the previous two picks. Timid Moose should look to continue that trend and take a DB. No offensive pick makes since here as only as few WRs would be warranted at this pick and it’s not a big enough need area to take that risk. M. Griffin would add a solid young DB to an already decent corp.
1.11 – P. Posluszny (Total Domination)
No real need areas so should take the best player on the board. Posluszny should add a little more youth to teams LB corp.
1.12 - Ted Ginn Jr. – (Just2Buff)
WR is a need area so look for J2B to pick one up at this spot. D. Jarrett is also a possibility, but Ted Ginn Jr. is a little bit more of an intriguing prospect.
