My first mock draft of 2009. A 12 team, PPR, snake draft, 2 RB, 2 WR, one RB/WR flex, 1 QB, 1 TE, ! DST, 1 K league:
10: Larry Fitzgerald, WR
15: Tom Brady, QB
34: Darren McFadden, RB
39: Wes Welker, WR
58: Reggie Bush, RB
63: Santonio Holmes, WR
83: Jerricho Cotchery, WR
87: Kellen Winslow, TE
106: Rashard Mendenhall, RB
111: Vikings DST
130: Joe Flacco, QB
135: Visanthe Shiancoe, TE
154: Ryan Longwell, K
159: Michael Jenkins, WR
178: Peyton Hills, RB
183: Pat White, QB(?)
My RB corps is weak, but in a RBBC era and a PPR league, I might be okay. If Oakland uses McFadden in a Wildcat formation on a regular basis and Bush stays healthy, I'd expect to get enough points out of the RB slot. Brady, Fitzgerald, Welker, and Winslow should give me a ton of passing points. Shiancoe gives me an interesting sleeper at TE.
The oddities of this draft were the early runs on TEs, DSTs, and Ks. Especially the DSTs. The Vikes were the 7th DST taken, which was okay for me, because I had them 3rd on my board, but I still took them several rounds before I expected.
We need to figure out a way to adapt fantasy rosters to deal with the Wildcat formation. In this league, I'd never start Pat White, but I bet he racks up some decent stats for the Dolphins this season.
Steve,
Will you run a league on Yahoo! this year? If so, the Horns would like another shot.

Yes, there will be a PB.com league this year. Maybe two.
