We pick up with Round 9
113. Carson Palmer (QB18)
114. Greg Little (WR41)
115. Titus Young (WR42)
116. Felix Jones (RB40)
117. Mikel Leshourse (RB41)
118. Santonio Holmes (WR43)
119. James Starks (RB42)
120. Jermaine Gresham (TE14)
121. Vincent Brown (WR44)
122. Alshon Jeffery (WR45)
123. Pierre Thomas (RB43)
124. Jacob Tamme (TE15)
125. Austin Collie (WR46)
126. Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR47)
Josh took Palmer as a backup to Big Ben, but this could actually be a nice QBBC. Palmer is a nice sleeper at QB. Four 300-yard games in 10 games with the Raiders, including a 400-yard effort in Week 17. This is after Oakland traded for him in the middle of the season and threw him into the starting lineup with hardly any time to practice.
Now, he'll have a full offseason, which should make this a much better offense.
Which also makes Alex's pick of DHB a very nice one, as well. WR47 is really good value for someone with top 20 upside.
Ryan's pick of Titus Young could turn out to be a really strong value pick. Young looks to line up opposite Megatron in Detroit's offense, and as long as Stafford and Calvin are healthy, Young will get a lot of looks.
I still like Alshon Jeffery. Chicago will throw the ball and I think Jeffery will get some opportunities. Marshall is the main option, but Jeffery will get his. I expect him to win the WR2 job in Chicago.
Round 10:
127. Jake Locker (QB19)
128. Daniel Thomas (RB44)
129. Kendall Wright (WR48)
130. Toby Gerhart (RB45)
131. Rashard Mendenhall (RB46)
132. Jared Cook (TE16)
133. Jacquizz Rodgers (RB47)
134. Joe Flacco (QB20)
135. Anquan Boldin (WR49)
136. Andy Dalton (QB21)
137. Dustin Keller (TE17)
138. Brian Quick (WR50)
139. Isaiah Pead (RB48)
140. Greg Olsen (TE18)
Really getting deep here, as we see the 50th WR taken in Brian Quick, who could end up as the WR1 in St. Louis.
Toby Gerhart could offer potentially up to 6 weeks of action if AP starts on the PUP list. If so, great value for Shane.
I remember I got a bit of backlash after making the Mendenhall pick. Looking back, I kinda deserved it. Mendy is almost guaranteed to start on the PUP list, main reason Redman has been going so high in drafts.
I talked about Rodgers in the previous post, saying I think he gets more involved, so he's worth the gamble at RB47.
Andy Dalton at QB21, to me, is a steal. With a whole bevvy of weapons, Dalton has QB1 upside and should at least be drafted ahead of Locker and Flacco. Locker looks like he won't even start Week 1. Tennessee has their heart set on starting Matt Hasselbeck.
Speaking of Titans, their TE can be a very nice option. Jared Cook has a boat load of upside for being the 16th TE selected.
Same with Greg Olsen as TE18. With Jeremy Shockey gone and Jeff Otah healthy, Olsen should be able to run more routes and get more targets from Cam Newton. If you combine Olsen's and Shockey's 2011 numbers, they would rank #3 among TEs in 2011 fantasy scoring.
Round 11:
141. Delone Carter (RB49)
142. Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB22)
143. Sam Bradford (QB23)
144. Laurent Robinson (WR51)
145. Mario Manningham (WR52)
146. 49ers Defense (DEF1)
147. Reuben Randle (WR52)
148. Alex Smith (QB24)
149. Stephen Hill (WR53)
150. Kendall Hunter (RB50)
151. Mike Goodson (RB51)
152. Matt Flynn (QB25)
153. Randy Moss (WR54)
154. Shane Vereen (RB52)
Round 12:
155. Martellus Bennett (TE19)
156. Kevin Smith (RB53)
157. Mike Tolbert (RB54)
158. Jon Baldwin (WR55)
159. Brandon LaFell (WR56)
160. Lamar Miller (RB55)
161. Bernard Scott (RB56)
162. Tim Hightower (RB57)
163. Christian Ponder (QB26)
164. Alex Green (RB58)
165. Tony Moeaki (TE20)
166. Evan Royster (RB59)
167. Taiwan Jones (RB60)
168. Doug Baldwin (WR57)
I took Hunter thinking he'll get more carries and Gore could possibly get hurt at some point. I also like LaFell to step up opposite Steve Smith in Carolina.
Round 13:
169. Nate Washington (WR58)
170. Emmanuel Sanders (WR59)
171. Randall Cobb (WR60)
172. Leonard Hankerson (WR61)
173. Mohamed Sanu (WR62)
174. Lance Kendricks (TE21)
175. Ed Dickson (TE22)
176. Davone Bess (WR63)
177. David Nelson (WR64)
178. Ryan Broyles (WR65)
179. Kellen Davis (TE23)
180. Ravens Defense (DEF2)
181. Steelers Defense (DEF3)
182. Joseph Addai (RB61)
Round 14:
183. Bills Defense (DEF4)
184. Stephen Gostkowski (K1)
185. Jerome Simpson (WR66)
186. Matt Cassel (QB27)
187. Jordan Shipley (WR67)
188. Texans Defense (DEF5)
189. Rasahd Jennings (RB62)
190. Jacoby Ford (RB63)
191. Sebastian Janikowski (K2)
192. Bears Defense (DEF6)
193. Kevin Kolb (QB28)
194. Lions Defense (DEF7)
195. Giants Defense (DEF8)
196. David Akers (K3)
As you can see, some of the top defenses and kickers went in this round. I added my last 2 skill players in Broyles and Shipley, two guys who could be PPR deep flex plays as they could both operate out of the slot in their respective offenses.
Round 15:
197. Eagles Defense (DEF9)
198. Anthony Fasano (TE24)
199. Mason Crosby (K4)
200. Matt Prater (K5)
201. Dan Bailey (K6)
202. Bilal Powell (RB63)
203. Packers Defense (DEF10)
204. Jets Defense (DEF11)
205. Neil Rackers (K7)
206. Falcons Defense (DEF12)
207. Seahawks Defense (DEF13)
208. Brandon Jacobs (RB64)
209. LaMichael James (RB65)
210. A.J. Jenkins (WR67)
Round 16:
211. Alex Henery (K8)
212. Ryan Tannehill (QB29)
213. Jason Hansen (K9)
214. Robbie Gould (K10)
215. Matt Bryant (K11)
216. Danny Amendola (WR68)
217. Rob Bironas (K12)
218. Nate Kaeding (K13)
219. Javon Ringer (RB66)
220. Robert Turbin (RB67)
221. Broncos Defense (DEF14)
222. Kellen Winslow (TE25)
223. Dan Carpenter (K14)
224. Jason Snelling (RB68)
Remainder of the Draft was just deep depth and the remaining teams filling their defense and kicker slots.
Overall, this draft went very well. I had a lot of fun doing this and enjoyed drafting with all these great fantasy minds. I want to thank them all for participating.
As far as best team, it's a tough one, but I like the team Eric Yeomans ended up with. Vick has so much upside as long as he is healthy, he has a nice 1-2 RB punch in Ryan Mathews and Steven Jackson, a very solid trio of WRs in Julio Jones, Jeremy Maclin and Robert Meachem, and if he can be consistent, Jermichael Finley can be a monster.

Until next time, this is Bill Wild saying so long from the Corral.
