2016 CRFL Mock Draft

For those that do not play daily fantasy or NFL playoff fantasy, the off-season has arrived. As evidenced in my earlier post, the CRFL trade market is on fire. Our annual rookie/free agents draft is months away, but that doesn't mean it's not time to rev up the annual mock draft! After today's major trade, the Wind River Bison are on the clock.

As usual, my mock draft is based on the often-updated NFL mock draft that Walter Football produces.

Without further delay, 2016 CRFL Mock Draft 1.0...

1st Round

1.01. Wind River Bison selects...RB Ezekiel Elliott HOU (Ohio State)
Bison need help at WR, but Treadwell in Dallas diminishes his fantasy upside. Wind River goes best player available.
1.02. Huskerfan selects...WR Laquon Treadwell DAL (Ole Miss)
#4 overall pick won't fall farther than this pick. Huskers get another young WR stud in back-to-back drafts.
1.03. Brucey's crew selects...RB Derrick Henry TEN (Alabama)
Bruce made a huge trade in the 2015 off-season for three 2016 1st round picks. Four total for the 1st round. He'll take a potential stud RB here.
1.04. Badgerhawks select...RB Alex Collins DAL (Arkansas)
The Hawks have several needs, but none more so than WR. But Collins as the bell cow in Dallas? Even 1.04 might be too low.
1.05. Lynch Mob selects...RB Paul Perkins NYJ (UCLA)
All the 1st round talents are off the board, Lynch Mob takes the best RB still available before things get sketchy. 
1.06. North Shore Ikaika Warriors select...RB Kenneth Dixon NYG (Louisiana Tech)
The Warriors are in need of some proven depth at RB, but a 1st round WR is still available. Dilemma here, but the North Shore gang takes the highly-talented Dixon and hopes he is a star in the making.
1.07. Juice Box Heroes select...WR Michael Thomas MIN (Ohio State)
The madness ends. RB-needy teams got their RBs, meaning some solid WR talent falls. JBH gets a big steal here.
1.08. Triple Option Kills selects...WR Corey Coleman CLE (Baylor)
Coleman landing in Cleveland isn't the best situation for him, but TOK looks passed situation and takes a potential elite talent at great value.
1.09. Brucey's crew selects...WR Will Fuller GB (Notre Dame)
The talent haul continues for the crew. Fuller receiving the ball from Aaron Rodgers has all kinds of potential.
1.10. Huskerfan selects...WR Kenny Lawler BAL (California)
Huskers might want a RB here, but early 2nd round talent Lawler is too enticing to look passed. 2 of the first 3 WRs off the board in Walter's mock go to Huskerfan.
1.11. Brucey's crew selects...WR Tyler Boyd STL (Pittsburgh)
The crew grab another solid prospect. The Rams have next to no passing game, but Boyd might be the team's top WR right away.
1.12. Brucey's crew selects...QB Carson Wentz DAL (North Dakota State)
The 1st round raid is over, and Brucey's crew already has a RB and two WRs. Time to take a flier on a high-upside QB? Philip Rivers isn't getting any younger.

-----------

Per the usual, I will attempt to update this mock draft monthly or so. Until then...
