While the majority of Fantasy owners play in a 12-team league, there are still lots of people who get their kicks in 10-team formats. For them this mock is for.
What's the difference between a 10-team league and a 12-team league? Fewer owners means better rosters -- there won't be much for the drafters to be upset over. But because the talent pool is deeper with two fewer teams participating, expectations are higher. Instead of hoping for one stud running back, everyone's aiming for two (or even three). There will be enough quality wideouts to go around, but some teams won't have the same level of talent as the others once you get to second receivers. Tight ends, DSTs and quarterbacks will be plentiful, so they won't be picked as soon ... or will they?.
Moreover, we're going with a mix of people who work in the sports field here at CBS and are passionate about their Fantasy Football. People like you. So now you can count on this being a little more interesting than an expert draft since some of the picks made here could be done by anyone in any league anywhere where Fantasy is king.
Above all, realize that we're far from the time of year we get into our draft rooms and put our teams together. Although the results of this draft will never change, transactions and news in the coming months will alter the value of many players.
