This Week’s KSK Commenter Mock Draft: Fantasy Football 2007
Yep, that’s right. An actual discussion of football right on this here site. Never thought you’d see the day, did you?
The best part of fantasy football is how it helps get us, the football-bereft citizens, through the horrors of late June to August. You’d be surprised how much time you can eat up convincing yourself Wes Welker will be a great sleeper pick. And so, let us get the ball rolling with a rough draft. No stat sheets in front of you. No refreshing your memory of last season. No checking bye weeks. This one’s all gut. Consider it a fundamentals drill.
The rules: Let us assume this is a nonkeeper league. You start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 D, with 5 bench spots. 13 players total. No points for receptions.
1pt. = 10 yds run/rec or 25 yds passing
4pts. = passing TD
6pts. = run/rec TD, Defense/ST TD
-2pts. = fumble or INT
3pts. = FG
5pts. = FG 50+
1pt. = extra point or sack
PICK 1 PLAYER ONLY, THEN WAIT 12 PICKS UNTIL YOU MAKE ANOTHER SELECTION.
Oh, and I’ll be taking LT2 now. Suckers. He’s fun because he makes the Seahawks look dumb!
Have at it.

June 22nd, 2007 at 10:35 am
frank gore
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:37 am
I’m gonna go with Vick, Mike, he’s bound to bounce back from last season.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:37 am
Larry Johnson. It’s nice to get to the party early.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:38 am
@herc
gonna get hurt no way he holds up after 416 carries.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:38 am
Steven Jackson, bitches.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:39 am
@herc, yeah, I’d be very weary of him under the Herminator.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:43 am
Randy Moss
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:44 am
Peyton Manning, especially if he can throw at childrens’ heads.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:44 am
Peyton Manning, ya i’m that guy
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:44 am
Sheesh. I’m getting killed for a guy that’s had back to back 1700yd seasons? He’s got another good year in him before his legs fall off completely.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:45 am
goddammit sh!tshow, you must have gotten me by 10 seconds, im taking Julius Jones
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:46 am
Alright, I’ll roll the dice … Shaun Alexander.
But Reggie Bush with the #2 pick? Really?
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:46 am
Chicago Defense.
I’m that guy.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:46 am
bush can run and catch. very versatile. upping his td odds.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:47 am
Portis.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:48 am
who woulda thought taht this would be the slowest one yet.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:48 am
I can run and catch too, but it doesn’t mean I’m worth the second pick.
And I’m not even splitting carries with Deuce McAllister.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:49 am
willie parker
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:50 am
Oh BDD, already gone, buddy.
I’m thinking about starting the run on kickers, but I’ll go with Thomas Jones.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:50 am
yah but receptions dount count so the catching loses value, hes good but not second pick good.ps who thinks drwe is using this as asome sort of audtition for the lague and has a bunch of people in mind but is going to let someonein who deosn’t take his sleepers?
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:50 am
we will wait and see otto man. maybe bush is a high risk high reward type of pick , but you can’t deny his versatility.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:51 am
And my Maroney pick was obviously a joke, but the more I think about him busting through the goal line, screaming “OH YEAHHHHHH!” I get fucking amped.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:51 am
Versatility makes a Transformer.
I’ll take an every-down back in that spot.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:52 am
@ burnsy
i think that this needs to be added into madden, every time he scors madden just screams that.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:53 am
Not gonna make a pick…just gonna point out that I have LT2 in my keeper league.
That’s right. I won the Big One last year.
(What good is it if you can’t brag? And, no, I am not trying to get into your gay FF league.)
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:53 am
Or just have the giant Kool-Aid burst through the screen. This is a million dollar idea. Kool-Aid had grape flavor, right?
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:53 am
I’m like mothafuckin clockwork, i can’t go past the second round without taking anquan boldin. one of my flaws in life
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:54 am
otto man is your questioning of bush with the #2 pick have anything to do with his last name ? (just kidding)
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:54 am
my problem or strategy is take all colts my team last year was manning addaai rhodes harrison clark wayne and colts d.
i have a problem.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:55 am
I can’t believe I’m getting the boring consistency of Rudi Johnson in round two. Wheee!
And my Reggie Bush bashing has nothing to do with my George Bush bashing.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:56 am
i will take travis henry in the second round.
seeing a huge year in denver
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:58 am
Ronnie Brown.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:58 am
Dammit Larry. Fine, I’ll take Carson Palmer….if his receivers can stay out of prison.
June 22nd, 2007 at 10:59 am
My problem is that I take Lamont Jordan in the second round because my roommate’s goddamn magazine says I should.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:00 am
I think that’s 12…
so I’ll take Willis McGahee, and also will claim dibs on all of his bastard offspring.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:00 am
Harrrison.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:00 am
Don’t cry for Grimey. He’s already dead.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:01 am
Tom Brady.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:01 am
Steve Smith
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:02 am

carson palmer
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:04 am
too late beaver
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:04 am
I’m going to take Vernon Davis because he’s a monster and i’m also going to end my draft there, but im still gonna hang around and make fun of people for drafting the Domanick Davises of the world (i realize he changed his name but im too hungover to care right now)
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:05 am
sorry, missed it. i’ll take bulger
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:06 am
Donovan McNabb
I owe the guy.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:07 am
Larry Johnson, aka the dynasty, is going to hold out this year.
I’m going with the worst player available (I can’t be bothered to check if this is true), just because I love seeing his pouty “I suck” face after overthrowing his receiver. That’s right, I’m taking none other than Mr. Eli Manning.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:11 am
I’ll take Kenny Irons.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:13 am
this is going really slow this morning. i think people prefer talking about their favorite drinking games and best nude scene in a movie than actually talking football
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:14 am
way slower than expected.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:16 am
I hate playing the waiting game. Let’s play Hungry Hungry Hippos instead.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:17 am
yeah, we need to speed this up
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:18 am
Joey Harrington… starter for the Atlanta Falcons.
I don’t feel the need to defend this pick. The pick speaks for itself.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:18 am
How about 12 picks or 15 minutes… I don’t know if we have 12 people participating still..
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:19 am
if all else fails, we could always start up a porn star draft
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:20 am
good idea grimey.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:21 am
I’ll take Kevin Jones, of the Lions. Yes, I have been drinking.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:22 am
Brian Westbrook. Thank fucking god.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:24 am
I am not sure if that’s 12 picks yet, but fuck it… the Sex Cannon doesn’t care. So I’m drafting him.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:26 am
I’ll go w/ Edge James.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:27 am
Torry Holt.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:31 am
Deuce. So far Manning, Harrison, and McAllister. Not bad.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:31 am
Sex Cannon – Rex Grossman – Because scoring w/chicks is 10 points.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:34 am
Matt Hasselback.
I live in Chicago, but love my Seahawks.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:35 am
i can’t stand him, but what the hell, t. owens
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:40 am
i will take brett farve,
oh we lose for picks never mind then.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:42 am
I’m not even going to get involved. You guys have fun with this. I have to fly today, so I could only get no more than 3 picks in before my flight.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:43 am
sloth, at this rate i’ll be lucky to get 3 more picks in by 5pm.
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:54 am
This is some bullshit… should’ve known a dickhole like BDD would set up a fantasy league and then not bother to tell anyone what time the draft started. And so here I am, holding my dick and wondering what’s up, only to realize that the draft is now 70+ comments in. And of course BDD sees fit to give himself first pick and take LDT. Fucking great.
Since I’ve got to salvage something here, I’m taking Vince FUCKING Young. Why? Because all VY does is win football games, and I’m sure that shit translates to fantasy somehow…
wv – pxehip
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 am
Brandon Jacobs
It’s either that or Reuben Droughns, so don’t give me the red ass.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Jerrico Cochery…dude’s going to have a killer season.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 pm
let’s see… I have Steven Jackson, Willis and his offspring, and Sex Cannon (and screw you insignificant life – I got Rexy first).
guess that means someone needs to catch the cannon’s bombs. Then again, we don’t employ defensive backs here…
so, I’ll take Reggie Wayne.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 pm
did we lose BDD ? haven’t seen him pick since he took brady.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 pm
No one’s taken Joseph Addai? Really?
Alright, Addai.
wv from koolaid: g’dam! x-uh!
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Larry Fitzgerald and his free crackers.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Jamal Lewis.
Browns win division this year, Superbowl next year, Brady Quinn wears evening gown to parade.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Chad Johnson.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:24 pm
It’s a crying shame that Big Daddy Drew didn’t take his half brother Maurice Jones-Drew. So, I will.
QB – Matt Hasselback
RB – Maurice Jones-Drew
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:30 pm
How the fuck did I overlook Chad Johnson?!? Good pick Hercules.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:32 pm
I was stunned Ocho Cinco lasted so long.
So … time’s officially come to a standstill, right?
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Roy Williams.
And my verification word is Coxpyret. Gay mafia?
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:33 pm
are we still waiting 12 picks?
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:36 pm
i plan on following protocol. it’s been an hour since my last pick. one pick before i go again. waiting 12 picks is getting painful
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Can’t wait. It’s been more than 15 minutes, I’ll be drunk at lunch before I get 3 rounds……
2nd pick – Drew Brees
Always eases it in like a gentleman….
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Lee Evans
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:39 pm
I’ll be rocking the Palmer to Johnson combo all season long.
Almost as good as shitshow’s Manning to Harrison combo….almost.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Tony Romo
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
DeAngelo Williams
wv – ccpeor
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
I know I didnt make any picks but i know who i WOULDNT pick, fuck Tommie Harris and the Bears D, turing on Sex Cannon like that.
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Marion Barber III
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Gay Mafia? And no has taken Garcia yet?
June 22nd, 2007 at 12:56 pm
With the first TE of the draft …. Antonio Gates
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Ugh, the waiting is killing me.
Houshmazilli…….championship!
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:07 pm
Rick Ankiel
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:09 pm
You’re out of control, UM!
Which makes an Ankiel pick pretty apt.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:12 pm
is it too early to draft Chris Henry?
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Oh snap. Devon Hester.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:20 pm
I’ll take the Bengals Defence…I need a reason to watch the news.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:32 pm
John Kitna.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Plaxico Burress….
late as usual but at least there is some nice picks left on the board.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:38 pm
Marques Colston
This is hard.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:44 pm
again, officially over an hour since my last pick. still respecting protocol.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:00 pm
homer pick…Cutler
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:19 pm
OOOOOOOOOO, I like the FAT one..like me… Lendale White
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:21 pm
andre johnson
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Fuck protocol, I want Barry Sanders. Comeback year!
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:32 pm
RB #2 is Cedric Benson. He’s like Ricky Williams without all the bong hits.
QB – Matt Hasselback
RB1 – Maurice Jones-Drew
RB2 – Cedric Benson
So far so good….
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:33 pm
This late in the game? Time for value picks.
Marshawn Lynch, GB Packers
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:37 pm
It’s been two hours, and I think a dozen picks. So … Philip Rivers.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:38 pm
lynch was drafted by buffalo, not gb
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:39 pm
OOOOOOOOOO, I like the FAT one..like me… Ron Dayne
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:39 pm
same freakin difference, two northern market teams no one cares about, my bad.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:41 pm
I just have a feeling, and my late start doesn’t give me much choices here….
Adrian Peterson, RB (there’s two of them, so I refer to the rookie for the Vikings).
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:42 pm
OOOOOOOOOO, I like the FAT one..like me… Daunte Culpepper
My team – all fat – all the time
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:42 pm
ben, can you blame me for being so sensitive ? after all i am a bills fan.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:43 pm
I’ll likely be making my next pick sometime on Monday, so here’s the current status:
QB Philip Rivers
RB Shaun Alexander
RB Rudi Johnson
RB Joseph AddaI
WR Steve Smith
WR Torry Holt
TE Antonio Gates
Given my history with fantasy football, half of these players will be on crutches by week 3 and one will be in jail. My money’s on Rudi. He’s been quiet, but he’s a Bengal.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:47 pm
beaverfever, i’m a cal alum, i’m more mad at myself than you…
with my second pick, i take another rookie with upside… WR Calvin Johnson. Damn me for taking a freaking Lion.
June 22nd, 2007 at 2:51 pm
this draft is a bigger bust than Tony Mandarich.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:02 pm
@grungedave…I was just about to say the same thing. Who would have thunk that a fantasy football draft on a football website would bomb so bad.
I’m gonna go draft some digleberries.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:06 pm
i need to update my self
r.bush – rb
w. parker – rb
m. bulger – qb
t. owens -wr
l. evans – wr
a. johnson -wr
maybe if i’m lucky my picks will be done by sunday. can’t belive this has taken so long. go play intramurals, brother !
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:09 pm
Warrick Dunn… always gets drafted too late.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:12 pm
I think the problem here is that once the first ten picks were made, few people wanted to take part and start in with Antowain Smith as their top pick.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:16 pm
im still have a game plan… but yeah im starting think that this getting a bit pointless at this time…
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:20 pm
my 3rd pick, my QB… gosh this slate has been picked pretty clean.
How about Chris Simms? Guy’s going to come back with a vengance this year.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:58 pm
I am officially back from lunch (and drunk) so…
4th pick – Ronnie Brown
Personal Summary
Jamal Lewis RB
Drew Brees QB
Houshmanzadeh WR
Ronnie Brown RB
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:05 pm
WR – Chris Chambers. Trent Green may be old and grizzled, but he’s still got passing skillz (with a ‘z’). Chambers should be a nice addition.
QB – Matt Hasselback
RB1 – Maurice Jones-Drew
RB2 – Cedric Benson
WR1 – Chris Chambers
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:20 pm
OOOOOOOOOO, I like the FAT one..like me… David Boston
(Crap, is he still in the league?)
My team – all fat – all the time
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:31 pm
I’m drafting Sebastian Janikowski.
He gets the good drugs for a kicker.
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:41 pm
Has it been 12 picks yet? Oh, fuck it, it’s close enough. I pick Dominic Rhodes, RB, now spiralling down into the pit of dispair known as the Oakland Raiders.
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:52 pm
i know he sucked last year, bounce back this year ? cadillac williams
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:00 pm
I’ll take
Chargers D
Hines Ward WR
Kellen Winslow TE
Jeff Wilkins K
and now I shall return to the patio that so graciously hosted the beginning of the end of my friday.
Next draft should have naked cheerleaders.
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Ok screw it. Matt Leinart and Shockey. I’ll take 2 because nobody cares anymore…
WR-Plax
RB-Dunn
QB-Leinart
TE-Shockey
I suggest a commentor draft that begins after 9 am Westcoast time?
Beacuse its unfair to live in perpetual sunshine and beautiful weather.
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Bear Grylls, i also have a man crush on him.
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Wait 12 picks? We couldn’t possibly accomplish this unless you expect me to work late…and that just ain’t not happenin’.
WR2 – Santana Moss. Who’s the QB is Washington? Who fuckin’ cares…that dude is fast as hell!
WR/RB – Mike Furrey – He’s a white wide receiver and he plays for the Lions. And I’m sure there are good things about him as well.
TE – Tony Gonzalez – Did we just stop drafting TEs after Gates? Oh well.
D – Seattle Seahawks – They play the 49ers and Cardinals 4 times. Sign me up!
K – Lawrence Tynes – I have no Bengals, so I needed a legit felon to round out my starting roster. He’s born in Scotland and loves to break the faces of bouncers…he’s NY giants (ass)kicker Lawrence Tynes!
QB – Matt Hasselback
RB1 – Maurice Jones-Drew
RB2 – Cedric Benson
WR1 – Chris Chambers
WR2 – Santana Moss
WR/RB-Mike Furrey
TE – Tony Gonzales
DEF – Seattle Seahawks
K – Lawrence Tynes
June 22nd, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Greg Oden
June 22nd, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Damnit you guys started way too fucking early.
Bernard Berrian.
June 22nd, 2007 at 7:56 pm
te – todd heap
June 23rd, 2007 at 12:00 am
Alright…so far….
WR – Bernard Berrian….thats it.
Championship!
June 25th, 2007 at 11:09 am
i still need a defense. i take s.d.’s
June 25th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Jerome Bettis, wit GNC Megamen Multi-Vitamin
