2012 #Twitmock Fantasy Football Redraft: Rounds 3 & 4

There weren’t many crazy surprises in the first couple rounds of our #TwitMock Fantasy Football Redraft 2012. While Robert Griffin III and Reggie Bush might have raised a couple eyebrows, there are still plenty of arguments to support both selections. But now, as we move into the third and fourth rounds, the rubber hits the road, so to speak.

Now, we’ll start seeing some of the disappointing early picks from August, fall down into these rounds. We’ll also see a few players with ever increasing upside getting snatched up here. But how many running backs will end up getting drafted in these two rounds, with so many going in the first two rounds?

We’ll be tweeting analysis about each of our picks, and the analysis will be posted here for readers to follow along with. So read along here and on Twitter over the next couple days as Fantasy writers make picks.

This draft began on Thursday, Oct. 4, with the hashtag #TwitMock, with the first two rounds of the draft being posted here.
