Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends. For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh
When it comes to fantasy football drafts, I am always amused when people start producing mock drafts well in advance of Labor Day weekend. There are too many unknowns due to injuries, position battles and stupidity to make them worthwhile. I suppose if you are in a league that mandates that you draft weeks before the season starts, it makes sense but, even that cracks me up. If it is a league for fun, go crazy. However, most of us have a vested financial interest in how our team does and I sure as hell don't want any of my top picks missing time due to non-regular season injury or off-the-field issue. It is pretty interesting to see the shift in average draft position in the weeks leading up to the season. Players like Steven Ridley and Cam Newton have cratered and players like James White and Emmanuel Sanders have shot up.Mock drafts can vary greatly depending on the scoring system, especially when using Points Per Reception, and whether or not the league is a redraft league or a dynasty league. For our purposes, this is a standard fantasy football league scoring system for a redraft league.This assumes a starting roster of 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 D/ST. Points would be awarded for the following actions:Passing: 1 point for every 25 yards, 4 points for each Touchdown, and -2 for each InterceptionRushing: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points for each Touchdown, and -2 for each fumble lostReceiving: 1 point for every 10 yards, 6 points for each TouchdownKicking: 3 points for every Field Goal made and 1 point for each successful Extra PointDefense: 2 points for each fumble recovered, 2 points for each interception, 1 point for each sack, 2 points for a shutout and 2 points for a safetyRound 11 Jamaal Charles, KC2 LeSean McCoy, PHI3 Adrian Peterson, MIN4 Eddie Lacy, GB5 Matt Forte, CHI6 Jimmy Graham, NO7 Marshawn Lynch, SEA8 Calvin Johnson, DET9 Demaryius Thomas, DEN10 Montee Ball, DEN11 A.J. Green, CIN12 Peyton Manning, DENEvaluation: Having one of the top 5 picks is easy since you could make a case for any of those running backs. After that, it is a bit sketchy as there is great depth at tight end and quarterback this year. It is nice to think about a team with Jimmy Graham or Peyton Manning on it, but I would prefer a running back to start my team off and build around.Round 213 DeMarco Murray, DAL14 Brandon Marshall, CHI15 Dez Bryant, DAL16 Andre Ellington, ARI17 Zac Stacy, STL18 Drew Brees, NO19 Giovani Bernard, CIN20 Alshon Jeffery, CHI21 Doug Martin, TB22 Le'Veon Bell, PIT23 Aaron Rodgers, GB24 Ryan Mathews, SDEvaluation: Decision time in round 2. Should you go traditional and get a second RB or is it best to get one good RB and one good WR? I think that there is great depth at WR this year and recommend that you get 2 solid RBs.Round 325 Julio Jones, ATL26 Jordy Nelson, GB27 Antonio Brown, PIT28 Randall Cobb, GB29 Alfred Morris, WAS30 Arian Foster, HOU31 Julius Thomas, DEN32 Andrew Luck, IND33 Rashad Jennings, NYG34 Toby Gerhart, JAC35 Victor Cruz, NYG36 Reggie Bush, DETEvaluation: If you grabbed two RBs already, you definitely need to grab a WR in round 3. If you split them, I recommend grabbing that second RB. If you grabbed Peyton, Brees or Rodgers, you need to balance out your team in this round as the tiers begin to fall off from here.Round 437 Vincent Jackson, TB38 Rob Gronkowski, NE39 Andre Johnson, HOU40 Matthew Stafford, DET41 Keenan Allen, SD42 Frank Gore, SF43 DeSean Jackson, WAS44 Michael Floyd, ARI45 Pierre Garcon, WAS46 Roddy White, ATL47 Chris Johnson, NYJ48 T.Y. Hilton, INDEvaluation: Questions abound in round 4 due to direct or indirect health issues. Stafford should have a big year, but I really like Kennan Allen at this spot.Round 549 Larry Fitzgerald, ARI50 Ben Tate, CLE51 Torrey Smith, BAL52 Steven Jackson, ATL53 C.J. Spiller, BUF54 Jordan Cameron, CLE55 Cordarrelle Patterson, MIN56 Reggie Wayne, IND57 Fred Jackson, BUF58 Shane Vereen, NE59 Marques Colston, NO60 Percy Harvin, SEAEvaluation: If you thought round 4 was tough, round 5 is even more difficult. There are a handful of players with very high upside here, such as Cordarrelle and C.J., but I like Cameron quite a bit since Cleveland has the absolute worst WRs ever lined up in professional football.Round 661 Julian Edelman, NE62 Jeremy Maclin, PHI63 Eric Decker, NYJ64 Colin Kaepernick, SF65 Vernon Davis, SF66 Wes Welker, DEN67 Emmanuel Sanders, DEN68 Trent Richardson, IND69 Tom Brady, NE70 Joique Bell, DET71 Golden Tate, DET72 Bishop Sankey, TENEvaluation: Tom Brady in round 6? It has been a long time since we have seen anything resembling this. I still think I would pass and grab Ryan, Rivers or Cutler in one of the next 3 rounds. I like Sanders if I want a WR here or Bell if I want a RB. He had great numbers last year, even in a split role. That role should continue this year with him getting the red zone work. Plus, Reggie isn't Mr. Durability.Round 773 Matt Ryan, ATL74 Jason Witten, DAL75 Mike Wallace, MIA76 Kendall Wright, TEN77 Terrance Williams, DAL78 Michael Crabtree, SF79 Ray Rice, BAL80 Maurice Jones-Drew, OAK81 Knowshon Moreno, MIA82 Riley Cooper, PHI83 Darren McFadden, OAK84 Nick Foles, PHIEvaluation: There is a lot of value in this round. I like Mike Wallace to have a solid year with Tannehill growing into his position. Matty Ice has his weapons back. Moreno should assume the #1 RB spot within a few weeks. Cooper, Williams and Wright will all have solid numbers. Enjoy this round as it won't be this easy for a few rounds.Round 885 Sammy Watkins, BUF86 Russell Wilson, SEA87 Stevan Ridley, NE88 Pierre Thomas, NO89 Tony Romo, DAL90 Lamar Miller, MIA91 Cam Newton, CAR92 Brandin Cooks, NO93 Cecil Shorts, JAC94 Philip Rivers, SD95 Dwayne Bowe, KC96 Terrance West, CLEEvaluation: LOADS of questionable picks here. If you need a QB, Rivers is a must-pick now. I trust Cooks and West as rookies more than Watkins but I would leave Cam and Ridley alone here. Bowe could be a value pick here since KC has no receivers past him.Round 997 Dennis Pitta, BAL98 Carlos Hyde, SF99 DeAndre Hopkins, HOU100 Kyle Rudolph, MIN101 Jay Cutler, CHI102 Robert Griffin III, WAS103 Shonn Greene, TEN104 Bernard Pierce, BAL105 Kelvin Benjamin, CAR106 Greg Olsen, CAR107 Darren Sproles, PHI108 Anquan Boldin, SFEvaluation: This round is a mixture of good and bad. The ceiling on Cutler is sky-high this season but the threat of injury is always sky high with him. Kyle Rudolph should be a solid pick now as is Olsen. Lots of upside with Benjamin, Pitta and Hopkins.Round 10109 Jordan Reed, WAS110 Jeremy Hill, CIN111 DeAngelo Williams, CAR112 Danny Woodhead, SD113 Hakeem Nicks, IND114 Justin Hunter, TEN115 James White, NE116 Martellus Bennett, CHI117 Mark Ingram, NO118 Danny Amendola, NE119 James Jones, OAK120 Jonathan Stewart, CAREvaluation: I have been fooled by Stewart, Amendola and Nicks enough to stay away in all of my fantasy football leagues. There is a lot of value in Hunter, White, Jones and Ingram in this round. Hill should see a nice split of action with Bernard as will Reed and Bennett on teams with lots of other options.Round 11121 Greg Jennings, MIN122 Christine Michael, SEA123 Marqise Lee, JAC124 Ben Roethlisberger, PIT125 Zach Ertz, PHI126 Tre Mason, STL127 Jordan Matthews, PHI128 Mike Evans, TB129 Markus Wheaton, PIT130 Donald Brown, SD131 LeGarrette Blount, PIT132 Steve Smith, BALEvaluation: Just when you would expect to be dragging the bottom of the barrel, you will find happiness in a lot of WR options here. This round epitomizes why I stressed a run on RBs early. Lee and Matthews could end up being the primary receiving options on their respective teams. Wheaton, Smith and Evans may also put up significant numbers as should Ertz at the TE position.Round 12133 Devonta Freeman, ATL134 Ladarius Green, SD135 Andy Dalton, CIN136 Andre Williams, NYG137 James Starks, GB138 Knile Davis, KC139 Khiry Robinson, NO140 Rueben Randle, NYG141 C.J. Anderson, DEN142 Carson Palmer, ARI143 Tavon Austin, STL144 Seattle Seahawks D/STEvaluation: Hello Handcuffs! It is always a good idea to back up your studs RBs if they have talented backups. That is the majority of this round. There is always one team that considers themselves smart by choosing the top defense before the inevitable late run. I suppose I can support that over a backup QB.Round 13145 Brandon LaFell, NE146 Josh McCown, TB147 Ronnie Hillman, DEN148 Doug Baldwin, SEA149 Joe Flacco, BAL150 Jerricho Cotchery, CAR151 Charles Clay, MIA152 Kenny Stills, NO153 Mike James, TB154 Mike Williams, BUF164 San Francisco 49ers D/ST155 Ahmad Bradshaw, IND156 Ryan Tannehill, MIAEvaluation: As mentioned in Round 11, you can find solid receiving options in these late rounds. The Patriots have no set number 1 WR and LaFell could easily assume that role. Carolina is starting fresh at WR and Cotchery has the most seniority. Seattle showed that they believe in Baldwin by giving him a contract to earn and Stills showed decent rapport with Brees last season, but you can't expect consistent production from him.Round 14157 Brian Hartline, MIA158 Mohamed Sanu, CIN159 Andrew Hawkins, CLE160 Kenbrell Thompkins, NE161 Carolina Panthers D/ST162 Denver Broncos D/ST163 Lance Dunbar, DAL165 Antonio Gates, SD166 Dwayne Allen, IND167 Robert Woods, BUF168 Michael Vick, NYJEvaluation: Bottom of the barrel, we find ye here. Hartline, Thompkins and Hawkins are well worth a flier here if you have room for an extra WR. Other than that grab a backup or think about dipping into the pool of defenses.Round 15169 Stephen Gostkowski, NE170 New England Patriots D/ST171 Houston Texans D/ST172 Cincinnati Bengals D/ST173 Arizona Cardinals D/ST174 Dri Archer, PIT175 Matt Bryant, ATL176 Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST177 Buffalo Bills D/ST178 Kansas City Chiefs D/ST179 Justin Tucker, BAL180 St. Louis Rams D/STEvaluation: Get a defense. They are pretty thin this year.Round 16181 Steven Hauschka, SEA182 Chris Ivory, NYJ183 Mason Crosby, GB184 Phil Dawson, SF185 Adam Vinatieri, IND186 Baltimore Ravens D/ST187 Nick Folk, NYJ188 Robbie Gould, CHI189 Dan Bailey, DAL190 Greg Zuerlein, STL191 Nate Freese, DET192 Nick Novak, SDEvaluation: Get a kicker. You need to start one.
