On December, 2009, RotoCommunity.com participated in a fantasy football mock draft (on Mock Draft Central) with the other industry experts listed below. We assumed standard PPR scoring with 10 (QB 2RB 3WR TE FX K D) starters and 6 reserves. Here's how the draft went down round-by-round, with analysis following each round.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING!!!

I had web browser problems during this draft. My Round 3 (Slaton) and 8 (Lynch) picks were auto-picked for me. I'll elaborate below, but just know that I did not make those picks.

ROUND 1

Even in PPR, I'm still more confident taking two solid RBs with my first two picks. Pittsburgh got into some crazy passing contests last year, but I feel that Mendenhall can be an elite back in 2010. The Steelers can't pass that much again, can they? That looked a little high for Charles, but then again, maybe not. Too bad Ray Rice doesn't score many TDs, or he'd be Top-3 in PPR.

ROUND 2

Turner is a touchdown machine when healthy. I think, with a healthy Turner, and Matt Ryan in his third year, the Falcons will score points in 2010. I just don't like taking QBs early, so I was happy to see others draft Brees, Manning, and Rodgers. This was before Welker got hurt, obviously. He's now a late-round flier. It feels a bit early for Wells and Addai.

ROUND 3

My idea was to take WRs in R3 and R4, but my browser shut down, and MDC gave me Slaton instead. I would have taken Ochocinco or Colston.I actually liked the Roddy, DeSean, Vincent trio, but just missed out on them. Knowshon and Ronnie could be nice nabs here. I still don't like QBs (Schaub, Brady) this early.

ROUND 4

This is where RBs get iffy, though Stewart could be nice. I'm still not feeling QBs yet, and you can wait on TEs. Sidney Rice would be another consideration, but it depends on who his QB will be in 2010.

ROUND 5

I'd have considered Romo here. I love Nicks' potential, though, since I missed Bowe and Holmes. The good RBs are all gone. No need to take Gates, as you see the nice TEs in the next round.

ROUND 6

This was obviously before Warner retired. In hindsight, I think my perfect team at this point would be Mendenhall, Turner, Jennings, Ochocinco, Romo, Vernon Davis. I could then fill out with spare RB and WR for a while, plus back-ups at QB and TE until I have to take the D/ST and K at the end.Every pick in this round seems reasonable to me.

ROUND 7

I like RBs Brown and Forsett here. Maclin and Crabtree are nice, too. I'm done with T.O. in fantasy, personally. I think Olsen and Cutler develop better chemistry in their second year together.

ROUND 8

MDC took Lynch for me here, as I was again disconnected (right after my Olsen pick). I would have preferred taking a shot at Harrison. Hopefully the Browns will just let him have that starting gig. Britt is probably the best receiver in this round, followed by Meachem. I don't see Palmer ever putting up big numbers again, and LJ is toast.

ROUND 9

Winslow could do well in his second year with Freeman, and Cooley could be a nice injury comeback player at this juncture. Avery could do well with a new QB.

ROUND 10

I like Eli as insurance, but would only use him in a superb match-up. Greene will still share with Jones and Washington but is a nice nab here.

ROUND 11

Garcon sure has looked great in the playoffs. There's really nothing exciting left at this point. I just grabbed Hester for depth.

ROUND 12

Miller had his moments late in the year, and is good enough to carry as your back-up TE. Those are good QB2s, but I'm not into any of these WRs.

ROUND 13

Some defenses came off the board, but I feel it's too early for that. I like to play D/ST match-ups in-season, so I take mine second-to-last. White is a lottery ticket there. If he lands in the right situation, he could serve as a bye-week fill-in for my big boys.

ROUND 14

Foster is another lottery ticket. He could do well as the featured back if he got a chance. And here come the kickers!

ROUND 15

Freeman is the best thing in this round. My D/ST pick would be of a decent D playing a potentially lousy offense in Week 1. Not knowing the schedule yet, I just took the Titans, who were pretty darn good after their 2009 bye week.

ROUND 16

I needed to fill my kicker spot, and the Eagles traditionally move the ball well, so I chose Akers. Overall, despite MDC making a couple picks for me, I thought I did well, for a 2010 football mock on 12/30/09.
