Just in case you’ve been in a coma for the past few weeks, or stuck in a Chilean mine (timely analogy!), we thought it would be good to see what the first four rounds of a Fantasy Football Redraft would look like if we started it just after Week 4 of the regular season. I assembled 12 of the top minds, and then they told me they don’t know anything about Fantasy Football and they begged for their release. THEN I got 12 of the top Fantasy Football writers together, and we held a Four-Round Twitter Mock Draft!
We’ll be tweeting analysis about each of our picks, and the analysis will be posted here for readers to follow along with. So follow along here and on Twitter over the next couple days as Fantasy writers make picks. The third and fourth rounds are located here.
This draft began on Monday, Oct. 4, with the hashtag #TwitMock.
Here are the picks and write-ups from:
