Round Seven-Ten Commentary - July Mock 2024
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
It’s no question my RB room is the hole in my line up so I felt I needed to address it. Chubb is a high risk, but a very high reward. Both of my staters have double digit bye weeks, so I should have time to wait for him to get up and running. Obviously, he needs to get up and running but if he can return to form he will certainly pay off at his draft position. Although Edwards offers virtually nothing in the passing game, he is set to be the Chargers #1 back. He should get all the early down and goal line work for the Chargers. At this point in the draft a #1 RB is about as much as I can hope for. -

Round Seven-Ten Commentary - July Mock 2024
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
I was relieved to find Singletary still there for me. He was the last one in my tier and I would not have been thrilled with my other options as my RB2. Prescott was not a Homer pick, I promise. Depending on the scoring system, Dak was QB2 or QB3 last year. Not much about his situation has changed this year. I think he’ll finish better than the tenth QB, which is where I got him. I almost went another direction, but last year four teams took their back up QB in the 9th. I could not afford to end up on the back end of that as my QB1. BTW: Brooks is who I was looking at. Solid pick. -

Round Four-Six Commentary - July Mock 2024
Mr. Landry replied to Ray_T's topic in The Mocking Station
Really like the upside of Diontae. He steps into the WR1 spot in Carolina and should be peppered with targets regularly. The QB in Carolina was suspect last year, but they brought in the QB guru who revived Geno Smith’s career and revitalized Mayfield last year in Tampa. If the QB play improves, Diontae should easily be better than WR30. Which is the upside I’m looking for in my fourth WR. -

Round Four-Six Commentary - July Mock 2024
Mr. Landry replied to Ray_T's topic in The Mocking Station
Well round five went in the crapper for me. I had a short list that I was sure wouldn’t be depleted by the time it got to me: Cooper, Jackson, Jones, Nabers, Kirk, Conner and Stevenson (not necessarily in that order). Oh well. I am not one to take a TE early, but I figured I’d zig rather than zag since all my targets were gone. McBride was TE 3 after he took over the starting role last year and I’d suspect a similar output this year, hopefully better. -

Was looking at DK when I took Kupp. He put up solid WR2 numbers last year and I think he is in a better situation, coach-wise, this year. The new O-Coordinator loves to throw the ball (top five in passing yards in the NCAA the last few years) which will mean more opportunities for Metcalf. My other thought was Kamara. I think he’ll put up excellent numbers this year. Nice pick, WhiteWonder. -
Round One-Three Commentary - July Mock 2024
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
There were four options I considered at 3.10 and went with what I think is the best upside (hoping one of the other three would make it back). However, picking Kupp made me throw up in my mouth a little. He submarined my team last year as my first round pick. I know he's getting up there in age, but he put up solid WR2 numbers last year when he was healthy and Stafford was not afraid to look his way. Of the eleven games Kupp and Nakua played in and finished together, Kupp out-targeted Nakua in six of them. I think if he stays healthy he'll be an excellent WR2 for my team. -

Round One-Three Commentary - July Mock 2024
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
The first nine picks went pretty much exactly like I expected. A few players in a different order, but I didn't expect any of the first nine to be there with my tenth pick. Last night I penciled in Wilson and am fairly satisfied with him. He's entering his third "break out" year and he has put up solid numbers with sub-par QB's. If Rodgers can stay healthy, I think he could easily be a top 5 WR. With the second pick I was thinking along the same lines as Ray_T and robb...nothing I really loved at the other positions I debated the pick with another player here, but I went with Taylor as he has a more stable situation. He's a work horse back and if he can stay healthy, I know a big IF, he should put up comparable numbers to the people drafted in front of him. -

If I recall correctly, we take a pause on the weekends. If that's the case, I am 100% in. If we're drafting on the weekends, I'll have to bow out. I've got back to back weddings on the 27th and the 3rd.

Round Twelve - Sixteen Commentary - July Mock 2023
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
Ok. Not sure why they weren't included, but they've been added and I retroactively applied them to the first three weeks. So robb should be in first place now, minus that disaster of a Week 3 performance. -

Round Twelve - Sixteen Commentary - July Mock 2023
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
Sorry I didn't respond to this earlier, I haven't checked in here in awhile. The June analysis is annually done by Fumbleweed and he doesn't participate in the July mock. The last few years there has been an article posted on the site with a "top ten things I noticed" theme, but it looks like that didn't happen this year. I think, since the original purpose of the mock I believe was to provide a source to site visitors to get an idea of what a draft might look like and the reasons behind the picks, your post drawing attention to it is a good idea. -

Round Twelve - Sixteen Commentary - July Mock 2023
Mr. Landry replied to Mike FF Today's topic in The Mocking Station
The QB drafting was screwy this year and I'm wondering if it's a sign of things to come. Last year, after four rounds, two QB's had been selected (Allen and Herbert). This year, six had been taken. Last year 13 QB's had been taken by the end of round 10. This year, 19 had been taken. With 8 starting positions (I'm not counting DEF), that means most teams are drafting a back up QB before back up RB's/WR's.
