I always look forward to the first fantasy football mock draft of the season, but this one, in the very first week of an awkwardly distanced May none of us have seen before, felt a bit different, and not just because we were all zooming and bragging about our picks in solitude for the Fantasy Focus Football podcast. Yeah, I miss sports. You miss sports. We all do, and participating in any mock is not only a reminder but also hopefully a precursor to normalcy. Oh, and I want to see what D'Andre Swift can do right now!
OK, enough wasting time. The first mock of the season is always a bit fascinating to me, for while most of the basic gospel themes for fantasy football we can repeat annually -- waiting on quarterback, enjoying wide receiver depth, etc. -- this one surprised me just a tad. Perhaps what I thought I knew might not work in 2020? Perhaps I just need to partake in about a dozen more of these to see what works and does not work for me. Yeah, that sounds good.
