And I love the potential of Hardman as the third receiver in Kansas City and St. Sutton should be a steal in Round 6 if he's 100 percent healthy coming off last year's knee injury, especially if the Broncos somehow make a trade for Rodgers. My receiving corps along with Adams: Courtland Sutton, Curtis Samuel, Mecole Hardman, Amon-Ra St. Hopefully, one of Moss or Singletary becomes a featured option in Buffalo's backfield (I like Moss the best), and Edmonds has star potential if he can hold off James Conner for the lead role in Arizona.

I like the way my team came together with Chase Edmonds, Zach Moss, Devin Singletary and Joshua Kelley rounding out my backfield behind Ekeler and Carson. But I wanted the biggest difference maker on the board in Mahomes, and it's always good to draft those kind of players when available. If I didn't draft Mahomes, I probably would have selected a third running back ( Travis Etienne or David Montgomery) or my second receiver ( Amari Cooper or Robert Woods). I usually draft the tenth quarterback or so compared to the first, but I wanted to build my team in a different way. Now, we know quarterbacks fall further in industry drafts compared to most of your leagues because we take waiting on the position to an extreme. I drafted Chris Carson in Round 3 and then took the first quarterback off the board in Patrick Mahomes in Round 4. Since he could be traded, you might see Adams slip into Round 2, as he did here. If Rodgers is guaranteed to stay in Green Bay for this season then Adams is likey a top-10 overall selection. I'm excited for Ekeler once again this season, and Adams is falling a little bit with the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Rodgers. 11 overall, I drafted Austin Ekeler and Davante Adams to start my team. Instead of leaning on running backs early, I went with a wide receiver and a quarterback with two of my first four picks. In this 12-team, 0.5 PPR mock draft featuring members of our CBS Sports staff, I tried a different strategy from recent drafts. and see what you want to do on your Draft Day. You get to practice different strategies - Zero RB, waiting on a quarterback, double tight ends, multiple kickers (kidding), etc. The reason to do mock drafts is to learn how you want your real draft to go. My boss thinks it's work to put together these mock drafts, but I have him fooled. If I could, I would do a mock draft every day from the time the Super Bowl ended until kickoff of the following season. It's the best way to prepare, and you can do all kinds of mock drafts on CBS Sports right here. Do as many as you can between now and your real draft. Now is the time you should be doing mock drafts.
