Evan Silva represented us in NFL.com's industry league draft on Tuesday. It is a full point per reception (PPR) league and gives us a good idea about changing player values following free agency. Below are the picks with my notes.
Remember, we are
updating the 2011 Draft Guide constantly to reflect all the changes going on around the league. More exclusive mocks will be coming there in the next few weeks as we swing into prime drafting season, also known as
Fesitvus in August.
ROUND ONE1.1
Adrian Peterson, RB, MIN - ESPN
1.2
Arian Foster, RB, HOU - KFFL
1.3
Chris Johnson, RB, TEN - Sirius XM
1.4
Jamaal Charles, RB, KC - Yahoo
1.5
Darren McFadden, RB, OAK - Sports Illustrated
1.6
Andre Johnson, WR, HOU - Rotowire
1.7
Aaron Rodgers, QB, GB - Barber Boyz
1.8
Ray Rice, RB, BAL - Footballguys
1.9
LeSean McCoy, RB, PHI - NFL.com
1.10
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, PIT - Fantasy Guru
1.11
Calvin Johnson, WR, DET - Rotoexperts
1.12
Michael Vick, QB, PHI - Rotoworld (Evan Silva)
NOTES: I have seen the first four picks go in all different orders. It's a little surprising that after the Vikings suffered downgrades at wide receiver and offensive line in free agency, Peterson goes first in a full PPR format. ... The
Ricky Williams signing in Baltimore is already having an effect. Now that
Ray Rice is unlikely to see goal-line work, it's reasonable to take
Darren McFadden ahead of him. ... Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get how
Aaron Rodgers consistently goes before
Michael Vick. If you're worried about a Vick injury, just take
Vince Young late and you're protected with a QB1. The 2011 Draft Guide has
Vick No. 5 overall.
ROUND TWO2.1
Jahvid Best, RB, DET - Rotoworld (Evan Silva)
2.2
Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, JAC - Rotoexperts
2.3
Roddy White, WR, ATL - Fantasy Guru
2.4
Hakeem Nicks, WR, NYG - NFL.com
2.5
Matt Forte, RB, CHI - Footballguys

Michael Turner, RB, ATL - Barber Boyz
2.7
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, ARZ - Rotowire
2.8
Frank Gore, RB, SF - Sports Illustrated
2.9
Tom Brady, QB, NEP - Yahoo
2.10
Drew Brees, QB, NO - Sirius XM
2.11
Greg Jennings, WR, GB - KFFL
2.12
Steven Jackson, RB, STL - ESPN
NOTES: We see the
Mikel Leshoure (Achilles tear) fallout right away with our own Evan Silva. Now a threat for goal-line work and more snaps, Best is going to be extremely expensive in PPR formats. ... The owners in this league have clearly been following the
Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) injury saga. Go
here for more on why he is slipping. ...
Michael Turner is in his decline phase, does not catch passes,
Jason Snelling was re-signed and the Falcons are plotting a more aggressive passing attack. There are players with more upside out there. ...
Tom Brady's ADP is going to rise now that
Chad Ochocinco is in town. A full round-plus ahead of
Philip Rivers and
Peyton Manning is worth noting. ...
Frank Gore may have slipped due to lingering concerns over his hip. Note that Gore is fully recovered and set to be the focal point of the Niners' offense.

Mike Wallace, WR, PIT
3.2
Miles Austin, WR, DAL
3.3
DeSean Jackson, WR, PHI
3.4
Reggie Wayne, WR, IND
3.5
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, NYG
3.6
Peyton Hillis, RB, CLE
3.7
Shonn Greene, RB, NYJ
3.8
Vincent Jackson, WR, SD
3.9
Knowshon Moreno, RB, DEN
3.10
Philip Rivers, QB, SD
3.11
Peyton Manning, QB, IND
3.12
Brandon Marshall, WR, MIA
NOTES: Peyton Hillis will go higher in public drafts than "expert" drafts. Even though he figures to catch more passes in the Browns' new West Coast offense, a natural regression in workload and production from last year's breakout is expected. ...
Shonn Greene is headed for a major bump in carries, but his lack of passing-game skills is a downer. ... As noted above,
Philip Rivers and
Peyton Manning look like great values considering how high
Tom Brady and
Drew Brees went.
Malcom Floyd returned to the Chargers and
Austin Collie (concussions) appears fine. ... Note that
Knowshon Moreno is back on the rise after the Broncos merely added
Willis McGahee in free agency instead of
DeAngelo Williams.
ROUND FOUR4.1
Wes Welker, WR, NEP
4.2
LeGarrette Blount, RB, TB
4.3
Mike Williams, WR, TB

Dwayne Bowe, WR, KC
4.5
Dez Bryant, WR, DAL

4.9
Santonio Holmes, WR, NYJ
4.10
DeAngelo Williams, RB, CAR
4.11
Tony Romo, QB, DAL
4.12
Jeremy Maclin, WR, PHI
NOTES: Notice how far
LeGarrette Blount falls in this PPR format. He is reportedly improving on third downs, but is not expected to play in passing situations this season. ...
Mike Williams and
Dwayne Bowe are both monster talents that posted
unsustainable catch-to-TD rates. Some owners will overpay. ...
Dez Bryant and
Kenny Britt are two of the biggest upside guys that are on everyone's radar. Be prepared to pay high prices for them, even against non-expert opponents. ...
Antonio Gates would be a steal here if there weren't lingering concerns about his plantar fasciitis. He comes with risk this high now, especially when the
tight end position is so deep. ...
Wes Welker is obviously a PPR monster and gets a sizable downgrade in standard formats. The 2011 Draft Guide has him as
the No. 10 wideout in PPR.
ROUND FIVE5.1
Dallas Clark, TE, IND
5.2
Mark Ingram, RB, NO
5.3
Marques Colston, WR, NO

5.9
Jermichael Finley, TE, GB
5.10
Vernon Davis, TE, SF
5.11
Anquan Boldin, WR, BAL
5.12
Felix Jones, RB, DAL
NOTES: Here comes the tight end run. The first tier of five is really tight, so you will have to get in on this run right away or move on. ...
Marques Colston (knee) had missed five straight practices as of Tuesday. Big red flags here. ...
Ryan Mathews may have lost more value in the preseason than anyone so far. He was a late first-round fantasy pick last year, but is now a committee back that can't seem to sustain health. ... Even though
Reggie Bush has been named the starter,
Daniel Thomas goes a full two-plus rounds earlier. Don't let the coachspeak fool you here. ...
Mark Ingram should be the first rookie off the board in all formats, even PPR.

6.9
Beanie Wells, RB, ARZ
6.10
Cedric Benson, RB, CIN
6.11
Joseph Addai, RB, IND
6.12
Matt Schaub, QB, HOU
NOTES: The more concussions a player suffers, the more severe they typically get. But a player that has had previous concussions is not more susceptible to suffering one. Of course, we are talking about
Austin Collie. It's a gamble, but one that aggressive owners will be taking. ...
Jonathan Stewart could have been a first-round pick if
DeAngelo Williams walked in free agency. Instead, he sinks like a stone. ...
Matt Ryan is on the upswing with a new toy in
Julio Jones and his offensive line mostly intact. ...
Beanie Wells is in the midst of a positive training camp. It's hard to find a potential feature back with more upside this late. Guys like
Cedric Benson,
Marshawn Lynch and
Ryan Grant just feel like backs owners settle for. ... Check out
Chad Ochocinco's
new expected value in his new home. He went from
Andy Dalton to
Tom Brady.
ROUND SEVEN
7.1
Mario Manningham, WR, NYG
7.2
Sidney Rice, WR, SEA
7.3
Owen Daniels, TE, HOU
7.4
Pierre Garcon, WR, IND

7.9
Danny Amendola, WR, STL
7.10
Ryan Williams, RB, ARZ
7.11
Lance Moore, WR, NO
7.12
Reggie Bush, RB, MIA
NOTES: Manningham is generating tons of buzz as a breakout guy, but his ADP isn't out of control yet. There is still tons of value here. ...
Sidney Rice,
Braylon Edwards and
Steve Smith are all talented guys that sink due to quarterback concerns. ...
Mike Sims-Walker has the physical build of a No. 1 receiver in a Josh McDaniels offense.
Danny Amendola has the look of a solid slot receiver in that same offense. ...
Owen Daniels is the sixth tight end off the board, but it's nearly two rounds after that "Big Five" tier. ...
Drew Brees begged for the Saints to retain
Lance Moore and they did just that. ... The Dolphins are claiming
Reggie Bush will get around 15 touches per game. We shall see.
ROUND EIGHT
8.1
Matthew Stafford, QB, DET
8.2
Jimmy Graham, TE, NO
8.3
Roy Williams, WR, CHI

8.9
Chris Cooley, TE, WAS
8.10
Julio Jones, WR, ATL
8.11
Michael Crabtree, WR, SF
8.12
C.J. Spiller, RB, BUF
NOTES: Matthew Stafford is the No. 1 upside quarterback available after the first two tiers. If it wasn't for his fluky injuries over the last two years, he would be going four rounds earlier. ... Roy Willliams goes from an afterthought in Dallas to a No. 1 receiver in Chicago. That's right, the Bears coaches are running Williams ahead of
Johnny Knox and predicting big things for his reunion with Mike Martz. It's a gamble as to whether he is up to the task. ...
Michael Crabtree is missing yet another training camp and the Niners signed
Braylon Edwards. His ADP should be falling rapidly. ... Note that
Fred Jackson is finally the clear starter in Bills camp. Spiller has done nothing to threaten for the job and
we project him for just 106 carries.
ROUND NINE
9.1
James Starks, RB, GB
9.2

9.9
Ryan Torain, RB, WAS
9.10
Roy Helu, RB, WAS
9.11
Mike Williams, WR, SEA
9.12
Marcedes Lewis, TE, JAC
NOTES: It still boggles my mind that defenses go this early. It's been established repeatedly that there just isn't that much difference between the No. 1 fantasy unit and the No. 10 unit. ...
Mike Tolbert is going to at least get half the work, but he goes four rounds after
Ryan Mathews. ... We discussed the plight of
Johnny Knox earlier. I find it hard to believe that he will play behind
Devin Hester, but that is what the Bears' coaches are saying. ...
Ryan Torain is the starter in Washington and
Tim Hightower may be the backup, but
Roy Helu is the best talent. ...
Ronnie Brown is not expected to be anything more than a mere handcuff to
LeSean McCoy.

Kellen Winslow10.12
Robert MeachemNOTES: The
Maurice Jones-Drew owner didn't lock up Rashard Jennings. He is a good bet to regret that later. ...
Brandon Jacobs goes seven rounds after
Ahmad Bradshaw. That is too much. ... It's hard to sell me that a defense could be worth more in raw value than a upside sleeper like
Robert Meachem. ...
Mason Crosby is the first kicker off the board. ... Evan Silva discussed
Brandon Pettigrew's
outlook in this column. ...
Jordy Nelson would have been a mid-round value pick had
James Jones walked. Now his upside is capped.

Willis McGahee, RB, DEN
11.10
Greg Little, WR, CLE
11.11
Matt Cassel, QB, KC
11.12
Michael Bush, RB, OAK
NOTES: Plaxico Burress will be 34 on Friday and hasn’t played since 2008. His draft position here reflects that. ... The same can be said for another big name without much has left,
Tony Gonzalez. We have T-Gonz as the
No. 16 fantasy tight end in the 2011 Draft Guide. ... The good news is that
Greg Little is headed for a No. 1 receiver role. The bad news is he plays for the Browns. ... If
Darren McFadden were to go down,
Michael Bush would border on RB1 status.

Greg Olsen, TE, CAR
12.11
Eric Decker, WR, DEN
12.12
Jacoby Jones, WR, HOU
NOTES: Tim Hightower is headed for at least a third-down role in Washington. Cheap PPR flier. ...
Greg Olsen is firmly on the TE2 radar in Carolina's new TE-friendly scheme. Don't forget he isn't with Mike Martz anymore. ...
Jacoby Jones always appears to be on the brink of the light going on. Definitely worth a flier as
Kevin Walter gets a year older.

Jerome Harrison, RB, DET
13.11
Jermaine Gresham, TE, CIN
13.12
James Jones, WR, GB
NOTES: Zach Miller's value took a hit with the move to Seattle, but not this bad. The 2011 Draft Guide still
projects him for 64 catches. ... Speaking of tight ends,
Jared Cook should be on everyone's sleeper list. Freakish talent, even if he is still raw. ...
James Jones goes three rounds after
Jordy Nelson for no real reason other than no one wants to deal with this timeshare.

Cadillac Williams, RB, STL
14.11
Javon Ringer, RB, TEN
14.12
Kyle Orton, QB, DEN
NOTES: Ricky Williams projects as a goal-line back and a RB2 if
Ray Rice should go down. Nice value here. ...
Javon Ringer is worth stashing as a handcuff, but no one really thinks
Chris Johnson is going to hold out through actual games. ...
Steve Breaston is running behind
Jerheme Urban at Chiefs camp. The 2011 Draft Guide has
Breaston as just the No. 54 wideout.
ROUND FIFTEEN15.1

15.9
Ben Watson, TE, CLE
15.10
Emmanuel Sanders, WR, PIT
15.11 Chiefs D
15.12 Dallas D
NOTES: Nate Kaeding is the No. 1 kicker in our rankings, yet he goes five rounds after
Mason Crosby. Let that sink in before you take a kicker anywhere other than the last two rounds. ... I'm surprised
Emmanuel Sanders slipped this far. His foot injury is healing rapidly and he has plenty of time to win that No. 3 wideout job. ...
Danario Alexander is another worthwhile flier. If his knees are right, he can be a difference-maker.
ROUND SIXTEEN16.1
Justin Forsett, RB, SEA
16.2

Derrick Mason, WR, NYJ
16.10
Josh Brown, K, STL
16.11
Rob Bironas, K. TEN
16.12
Neil Rackers, K, HOU
NOTES: If there is such a thing, rookie
Alex Henery is a kicker sleeper. Hard to see him failing considering he is part of the Eagles' explosive offense and he is the most accurate kicker in NCAA history.
