Alright I'll take a shot at.
First thing I see is that you probably went too high for a backup QB. Sure people are down on Brady this year..but there's not much doubt that he'll still be a great, every week starter, just maybe not top 3. So Romo will never see the field outside of the bye week. Good trade bait I guess though.
Also, RB'S a bit thin, really thin if Murrays holds true to form..but thats expected from deep in the draft.
But the biggest issue, to me, is that after Megatron, you have a lot of question marks. Its a complete mystery as to how Torrey Smith will perform with nothing but speed burners (like he is) playing opposite. Josh Gordon is suspended for two, and now even his own coaches are calling him out on work ethic. Givens is nice as a matchup play and if he clicks I could see him being a nice surprise this year, but had to count on that. And Hartline really took a dive after defenses realized he was on the field..plus with Wallace on the team, his role as deep threat is gone and he won't have those big games.
Witten is great, but Ballard might not even make the Pats. .and much like Brady/Romo..there was no need to go for a second TE with a #1 like Witten.
Prater is great..
But the Cards D?? 4 games against Wilson and Kaeps? And they really weren't all that great on paper before looking at the schedule.

Overall, I'd give ya D+ - C-. Some awesome starters, a couple not so good starters, and the only quality depth as at places where its not necessarily needed. Sorry, and good luck to ya!

Just realized Marty B is Martelous (sp?)Bennett...better than Balkard, yet point about uneeded depth behind Witten remains the same.

Hmmm... I'm not liking it much either, first because there are a lot of guys I'd rather have at #12 than Ridley (Forte? SJAX?. Too early for Brady, too, especially in a 10-team league where nobody will have astarting QB much below him. I like Witten where you got him but he's not really a game changer.

You also didn't grab many guys who might overperform (rookies RBs, Lamar Miller...).So really you need Murray to be a stud and stay healthy and Torrey Smith to somehow catch bombs all year in double coverage. Then you'll look pretty good.

Out of curiosity, when did the 10th QB go and who was it?

im not sure.. again it was supposed to be a mock draft.. wasnt expecting to really take it seriously.. though i will take it as a challenge and see how far i can take it.. im not holding out too much hope.. the nfl.com draft app sucks monkey balls, its ahrd to navigate and figure out what round you are on and see the picks before you in depth.. very cluttered with large pictures and players.. maybe its just me but im glad i mostly use offline draft and just plug in the players..

The good news is that this clearly isn't your main draft.

My advice is to read up on some of the ranking threads both here and on fantasy sites like Y! and ESPN. There are a lot of good young RBs out there, and if NFL.com rankings are as bad as they have been in the past, you can really take advantage in the draft.

Also, Y! updates their rankings a couple times a week. If you compare theirs to whatever site you are using for your rankings and see a large difference in ADP where a player is drafted significantly higher on Y!, that is probably a player you want to target. Y! rankings have always pissed me off because they jack up the price on all the sleepers.

yes it wasnt even meant to be a leauge.. just a mock.. but nfl.com is very confusing they speant too much time making it "look pretty" i perfer to do mocks on fantasy football calculator the format is much better.. its not as slow as nfl but there seemto be a lot more experimentation that goes on there..
