With LaMont Jordan shipped out of town, good ole' Curtis Martin, despite his age, becomes an even more sure thing in '05. I don't think he will push for the rushing title this year, but, especially considering his sturdiness, I do think he is about as solid of a bet for 1,250 and 10 rushing that there is.

So far, the pattern is holding:
3 top RBs, then P. Manning
Next tier RBs (7), then C Pep
Next tier RBs (6), then Harrison (first WR)
Then McNabb, C Mart & Oh Randy (grabbing talent because it won't be there later)
Nice Mock!
I do wonder if Owens is falling too far. After the usual agent crap is over, he will produce, as usual.

Jake Plummer at #25? What a joke. Even if you think he could have those types of numbers you could grab him in the 7th round instead of the 8th. (which is where he will go) In EVERY mock draft I have seen he goes no earlier than the 6th round.
Homer Pick.  (Steg has a Boner for Plummer!!!) Hell, why not just put Elways name instead?

DD, Callie, while I surely appreciate whence you guys are coming, remember these "huddle" things by nature (label aside) are essentially a hybrid between a mock draft and a rankings list. Typically in the past I identified them as "rankings". This time I decided to use the terminology "mock draft". But, that does not change the fact that we are not drafting with teams in mind. The point is to bring into play what we actually think these guys will do in '05... with an eye towards how we see fantasy drafts playing out. With this in mind, I believe my pick of Plummer at 25 is defensible. I liked him better than the next running back or wide receiver (and obviously next quarterback) on the board and I think that is within the realm of reason even if it is extremely unlikely that he gets drafted at such a high ranking.

I agree, Plummer went WAY too high.
Bulger, Green, Vick, Hasselbeck, Collins, Palmer, Brady, Favre, Brooks, Brees should all have gone before him.

I like Plummer in '05 a smidgen more than Bulger, Green and Vick, my next three QB's probably in that order. Collins would probably be next. As for Palmer, Brady, Favre, Brooks and Brees in '05, I like Plummer quite a bit more than them.

I won't even begin to try to defend the Plummer pick...  (even with Steggies explanation). Plummer had similar numbers last season (4089 pass yards and 27 TDs - along with 20 INTs), but even then was only tied for 7th in fantasy scoring per game amongst QBs (using a standard scoring rubric).
But as for Michael Bennett... he may seem to have gone a little high, but let's look at things here. He is the unquestioned starter in Minny. Onterrio is gone, Moe is a vulture (who is getting old and only had 4 TDs in 2004), Mewelde is a back-up, and Fason is an untested rookie. Also, the Vikes have stated that they will look to balance the running and passing games more this season and they have a very good O-line to run behind. Finally, Bennett needs to have a great season to earn a big contract (likely his last chance to do so).

I hope you are right, because I agree with you. I think Bennett will be the starter in Minny, and will put up some good numbers.

Offseason concerns aside, couldn't wait any longer on Taylor, for goodness sake! He's still top 50, for sure!

Bennett may have some of his numbers vultured, but he's going to be the go-to tailback in Minnesota again this season!
