SBNation NFL Mock Draft - DeShaun Jackson, Brian Brohm, Felix Jones

by Skeller on Apr 22, 2008 8:06 AM EDT in Football

I'm back from my trip and ready -- Ready I tell you! -- for the NFL Draft. Just to wrap things up, here is the last part of my review of the first round of the SBNation NFL Mock Draft. The draft is being hosted at Mocking The Draft which is the place to go for all your NFL Mock Draft needs.

I'm only covering the fantasy-worthy mock draft picks right now, I'll get into the details of linemen and IDPs after the draft.

For now, here are three guys that will (or should be) drafted in your fantasy football league next season.

#20 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - WR DeShaun Jackson, California. Ike Hilliard? Joey Galloway? The Bucs need a wide receiver that opposing defenses have to worry about. And since Jackson will run back kicks as well, he's worth bonus points if your fantasy league scores returns. Now if we only knew which of the Bucs' seven quarterbacks will be throwing the ball next season.

#25 - Seattle Seahawks - QB Brian Brohm, Louisville. It's a good long-term draft pick for the Seahawks, the kind of pick that good franchises make. However, it won't help fantasy football owners at all to have (maybe) the best quarterback in the draft sitting on the bench holding a clipboard.

#28 - Dallas Cowboys - RB Felix Jones, Arkansas. Aaaaarggh! This is absolutely frustrating, like when you're in the mood to watch some good TV and the only thing on is CSI:Miami. Fantasy owners have spent the past few years watching Marion Barber handcuffed to the ineffectual Julius Jones. Now the Cowboys will handcuff him to the talented Felix Jones, minimizing the fantasy value of both backs. What did Barber do to deserve this? Isn't having a girl's name punishment enough?

Miami

signed Jake Long to a 5 year contract, so he will be the #1 pick....STL is on the clock.

Long

Look what OT Joe Thomas did for Cleveland this year. Hopefully, Long will have the same effect for the Fish.

Would Long be the one players a Dolphins' fan can count on being on the team for the next five years? I'd like to get my kids some Dolphins' jerseys but don't have much confidence that there is a player on the team who they could latch on to and follow.

as long as Parcells

is around, you should be safe.
I got an LJ jersey for Christmas two years ago, and thought he was going to get traded before re-signing....although, he still could get traded I guess....they may as well, they are rebuilding.
