We got together 12 of the Cafe’s finest veterans for this mock draft and produced some excellent results over the past month. This year the pack has broken up a bit, and there is much more debate about where to rank players below the upper tier. Do you draft the player who has more upside for per-game production but comes with injury concerns, or do you go for the safer player with less upside for per-game production who will not miss many games? These veterans will help you answer your questions with pick-by-pick analysis and commentary. Here are the results, enjoy!
