11Jeff@jyachcikMichiganSammy WatkinsWRWatkins at 1.01 seems to be the expected move and I'll follow that. His sophomore season wasn't great but his early breakout season and his 2013 season make up for it. The only caveat I'd say is that his target depth was interesting in 2013. He caught 57% of his passes as a screen and additional 12% within 1-6 yards of scrimmage. Less than 30% of his completion were caught past 6 yards from scrimmage.

12Jason@JMSparlinCaliforniaKa'deem CareyRBI'm sure most think that's a reach, but he is the most impressive back of this class IMO, and I'm not sold on the WR's constantly being slotted just after Watkins. So with the obvious depth at WR I'll take the best RB and grab WR in round 2. With every tape I watch on Carey, I see a back that rarely goes down on first contact, consistently breaks tackles, blocks great, catches great, and has the elusiveness and speed to bust open long runs. I think Carey has all the tools to become a true 3 down stud , and will contribute early and often in 2014.

13Matt@KidRob21MassachusettsTre MasonRBI’m a late round QB guy, and don’t feel strongly about the WR’s after Watkins, so I had to take the college RB that looks most NFL ready. He appears to have the physical tools to succeed right away, and I like the track record of Auburn running backs in the NFL. A classic first and second down runner, and would most likely get goal line work as well.
5
14Adam@RedHat28MontanaDavante AdamsWRHere is the first Rotoviz Reach (patent pending). I love his size and college track record of production. I am in 100% agreement with Ryan Rouillard about his red zone prowess, and at the end of the day scoring TDs is what its about. He's got a DR of over .4, is great in the red zone, has great size, and could be a better version of Crabtree. While it was somewhat of a reach, with this being a Rotoviz mock draft the chances of him being around when my pick comes back up are slim to none. If I wanted him, I had to take him here.
6
15Eric@E_Anthony10OhioMarqise LeeWRIn 2012, Lee posted a 118/1,721/14 stat line with a .42 Dominator Rating while sharing targets with Robert Woods. I'm hoping his subpar 2013 season was a result of injury and poor QB play. If I get the 2012 version, I might have the best WR in the class.
7
16Marc@MarcHanrahan86IllinoisKelvin BenjaminWRThe Red shirt sophomore is an absolute matchup nightmare, at 6'5 235 he has the size to dominate any db and the speed to stretch the defense. Good feel for the end zone, hauled in 15 scores in 2013.
8
17Jim@JymCollinsMissouriMike EvansWRAt 6-foot-5 and 225 he has the the size to be an elite wide receiver and match up nightmare in the NFL. He averaged over 20 yards per catch and had huge games versus Alabama and Auburn. He is the next Gordon/Jeffrey to hit the NFL.
9
18Peter@FFAvengerSouth CarolinaAllen RobinsonWRI'm really surprised that Robinson is still here - I have him as a Top 5 talent, maybe even Top 3. He had a .39 DR as a 19 year-old. You want to know who else had a .39 DR at 19? Julio Jones. To me, he is the purest and most pro-ready of all the draft eligible WRs in this class, has very few questions marks, and has the stats to back up his significant talent. He seems like a slam dunk at the #8 pick.
10
19Rich@LordReebsOhioJordan MatthewsWRI am not happy with this group as a whole and I'm officially uninviting any of you from joining any league I am going forward. I've made my affection for Davante Adams as transparent as a Peyton Manning Super Bowl read this offseason, so leave it to a freaking RotoViz mock to take him where he should go. Then my second favorite receiver, Robinson goes right ahead of me. Screw you guys, screw your leagues, screw all of your future endeavors. Oh... this is just a mock? Well in that case, let me breathe a little. There's one last receiver I'll consider taking left, so I might as well. Jordan Matthews is my pick. Probably would've been drafted much higher than this if he had declared a year ago. I'm not sold that he ever delivers on growing into a true RZ threat, but he posted ridiculous overall numbers at a young age in a power conference. I seen him more as safe and reliable NFL WR2 that sustains a long productive career. I hate you all still with an immense passion.
11
110Clint@BTR331IndianaJace AmaroTEI think the last two picks show how deep this class is as a whole (I know, everyone says it but it is true). I am thrilled to get Amaro at 1.10. I know tight ends take a bit longer to develop as pros but Amaro's talent is worth it. After Graham and Gronk I think there are differing opinions on who the third tight end is in dynasty leagues and Amaro could eventually be that guy. Most mock drafts I've read have Eric Ebron as the first tight end off the board with Amaro going in the late first round. I expect if Amaro gets drafted by Green Bay or New England that there is no way he would last until 1.10 in a rookie draft.
12
111Seth@CapnHuggyFaceMarylandJeremy HillRBI think I get the best value at RB at this spot. From what I can tell, opinions on RBs are all over the place as RB production is primarily tied to situation. But since we don't know situation right now, I'm going to go with a Chad Parsons favorite: Jeremy Hill. Hill is a big boy, with above average athleticism for a man his size. He has the capability to catch 30-40 passes a year out of the backfield, which is extremely important in today's NFL. Hill has had some off field issues, so that's a slight concern. But I'm happy picking Hill at this spot.
13
112Pete@PKottenstetteNewfoundland, CAAndre WilliamsRBMy first pick will be a reach due to his shoulder injury, but I like big powerful RBs and I can't pass up a bruiser like Andre Williams from BC. I like the 6'0" 227 lb Williams as he seeks out contact and runs through tacklers. Red flags include his shoulder and ball security. However, if healthy and he lands with the right team, he has all the qualities of being another Alfred Morris.
14
213Pete@PKottenstetteNewfoundland, CAJarvis LandryWRJarvis finished with 1193 yds on 77 catches. He had an amazing 74.0% catch rate, finishing just 0.9% behind Davante Adams. As Rotoviz readers already know, he had a DR of 0.40; very impressive considering he shared the field with Odell Beckham. He biggest red flag is his size. He is only 6'0" and 195; I will be watching his combine results closely. I don't think he will ever be a true WR1, but he has upside to be a solid WR2 like Eric Decker. Good spot for him would be DET opposite Megatron.
15
214Seth@CapnHuggyFaceMarylandDonte MoncriefWRMy pick at 2.02 is a large, thick receiver who will be just 21 years old in his rookie season. He's got Andre Johnson/Demaryius Thomas size. While he didn't have the greatest 2013 season, his 2012 season (age 19) was productive.
16
215Clint@BTR331IndianaTeddy BridgewaterQBI thought about taking him at 1.10 so I'm happy I got him here. Read Greg Bedard's piece on him at MMQB and tell me why he shouldn't be the first pick in the draft. I think some of his concerns (smaller physical frame, deep ball accuracy) are overblown. Aaron Rodgers was a thin guy coming out of Cal and he seems to be pretty good.
17
216Rich@LordReebsOhioAustin Seferian-JenkinsTEThis area is the hotbed of rookie drafts this year. I would be (and am) actively trying to get extra picks in this area of the draft because it's so talented. I won't pick again for 16 picks with tons of guys I love leftover. Most of the WR I like are gone and while I really like Odell Beckham as a real football player, I just don't see a fantasy star. Torn between RB or TE, I'll take Austin Seferian Jenkins because I'm a glutton for TD upside. Settle for third billing in this one Ebron.
18
217Peter@FFAvengerSouth CarolinaBrandin CooksWRThere's a lot of good RBs left that I like a lot - Sankey, Hyde, Seastrunk - but I am a sucker for WRs. I like Cooks' overall skillset. Not great size, but solid production and seems to have some burst and wiggle to him. I'll be very interested in his combine data. He'll never be a WR1 but I think he has a very high floor. Given the right fit, I could see his ceiling as an Antonio Brown type player.
19
218Jim@JymCollinsMissouriCarlos HydeRBCarlos could be the next Morris or Lacy if drafted into the right spot.
20
219Marc@MarcHanrahan86IllinoisJohnny ManzielQBI have to go Johnny Football here, I will draft him for his legs but his great passing accuracy should keep him around and hopefully healthy. Russell Wilson 2.0. This is a guy that I really think can be an impact fantasy player right out of the gate.
21
220Eric@E_Anthony10OhioDavonta FreemanRBFreeman is slightly undersized, but is a compact runner who can run between the tackles. He is an explosive receiver out of the backfield and from all accounts is a solid pass blocker. Those skills will allow him to contribute early in his pro career.
22
221Adam@RedHat28MontanaPaul RichardsonWRHe's a bit on the smallish size for my type of WR, but his DR is well into the elite territory of 0.47. Due to his size, he'll probably never be a red zone stud, as evidenced by his red zone td rate of only 15%, but that doesn't mean he can't be a successful NFL receiver. Someone earlier mentioned that Cooks upside could be Antonio Brown, which is what I envision for Richardson if things go right. Brown was better in the redzone than Richardson, but Richardson's DR destroys Browns. He could really shine in the right offense.
23
222Matt@KidRob21MassachusettsEric EbronTECould be the first TE off the board at the draft. Has the necessary size and athleticism to contribute right away, with elite (for a TE) speed. Rumford Johnny (2 Mugs) compares him favorably to Aaron Hernandez (on the field, of course).
24
223Jason@JMSparlinCaliforniaMartavis BryantWRMartavious has the size/speed combo to be a legit vertical threat at the next level. His average per catch led the nation among receivers with double-digit catches in 2012, and in 2013 he was top 10. He does a good job of creating separation in the endzone, using his 6-5 frame to grab contested balls for TD's. Just watch his orange bowl tape vs OSU, and you can see it first hand. He still needs work in his routes, as he wasn't asked to run a full route tree, constantly playing second fiddle to Sammy Watkins, and he is still a bit lean for his 6-5 frame, but I would think both of those issues can be addressed with NFL coaching. I've seen comparisons to Stephen Hill, and although not unwarranted, I'm of the belief that he will develop into a much better WR than Hill in the NFL.
25
224Jeff@jyachcikMichiganLache SeastrunkRBHe'll turn 23 right at the start of the season. Can he catch the ball? We don't know, we'll see a bit at the combine. I can't pass up the skill set he has at the 2.12.
26
325Jeff@jyachcikMichiganOdell Beckham JrWRTo start the 3rd round I'll back to WR and select Odell Beckham jr. He's slightly under what I look for weight wise at 194 and barely 6'0 but at age 21 I hope he still has some man weight to put on. His production is a tad lower than I'd like and Landry cut into his MS. But I think he can be an extremely versatile player especially going to the right team....hoping for philly.
27
326Jason@JMSparlinCaliforniaBishop SankeyRBGonna be honest here, and say I had scratched him off my list as I thought he was already taken. Can not believe he fell to the 3rd round cause I love this back, as he has all the tools to be a productive 3 down back. He has tremendous vision, burst, good hands, and is an underrated blocker. Not many flaws to his game so I am giddy to get him in the 3rd round.
28
327Matt@KidRob21MassachusettsIsaiah CrowellRBTaking a total flier here on a guy who is reportedly a ridiculous athlete, with power in spades. At this point in the draft, with 7 RB's and 12 WR's gone, it's harder to predict rookie success, so I'm gambling here.
29
328Adam@RedHat28MontanaRyan GrantWRAnother DR monster who is a bit light on the size. If this were a real draft, depending on team composition, I may have gone with Bortles, but its hard for me to pass up a WR who had a DR of over 40 this late in a rookie draft.
30
329Eric@E_Anthony10OhioCharles SimsRBAgonized over Freeman/Sims at 2.08, so I'm ecstatic to get Sims here. Sims has pro-ready tools: size, solid in pass protection, and is a natural pass catcher. It wouldn't surprise me to see him starting Week 1.
31
330Marc@MarcHanrahan86IllinoisTerrence WestRBHe is a good combination of size and speed. Also love the small school RB break outs.
32
331Jim@JymCollinsMissouriTroy NiklasTEFinishing only his second year as a tight end, recruited an offensive lineman and playing his freshman year as a linebacker he has the athleticism to play in the nfl at a high level. 6'7 270 has size for the red zone. More then likely an intermediate pass catcher in his rookie year.
33
332Peter@FFAvengerSouth CarolinaMarion GriceRBGrice seems like a great value pick this late in the RB. He has a 5.7 college career YPC and is a fantastic receiver out of the backfield, catching 91 passes the last two college seasons. Not really sure how he will do at the combine but I am intrigued by his skill-set.
34
333Rich@LordReebsOhioAntonio AndrewsRBI see a lot of people follow one Evan Silva on the twitter machine.... at 3.10 I guess I'll go with Antonio Andrews. HIs combine is going to be really important, because he's a little bit taller than I'd prefer and his speed score will be really important since he falls into the class of BMI for backs I target. I recommend you take an opportunity to check out the Roto Academy announced by Jonathan Bales today (http://rotoacademy.com/enroll-in-rotoacademy/) to find out how much BMI has a better correlation to TD production for runners since weight doesn't follow height like it does with receivers. I digress from that shameless plug, Andrews returns kicks and catches a ton of passes while scoring oodles of TD's, so those skills should help him find the field sooner than later.
35
334Clint@BTR331IndianaKapri BibbsRBAt this late in the draft I am looking for a RB with a shot to contribute as a rookie. Bibbs produced good stats this year and is only entering the league as a redshirt sophomore. I don't know what his combine numbers will be but hopefully they are decent enough to where he could go to a RB strapped team and contribute early on.
36
335Seth@CapnHuggyFaceMarylandBlake BortlesQB(Pick submitted without comment, so here's my comment: He's got a sexy girlfriend)
37
336Pete@PKottenstetteNewfoundland, CATyler GaffneyRBI am going to pair my first big thick RB, Andre Williams with another: Tyler Gaffney, Stanford. I am a sucker for big RBs as they should get goalline work. I look forward to see how their agility index scores at the combine. Lastly, since I have the last pick, can I also draft Bortles' girlfriend?
