Last week on the Fantasy Alarm Podcast, Michael Stein and I each took part in our own 12-team PPR mock drafts with the Mock Draft Army and offered up round-by-round and pick-by-pick analysis. It became an extremely helpful tool for those you listened as we discussed the massive ADP spikes for the likes of Davante Adams and Devin Funchess. It had been just a few days after Jordy Nelson's season-ending injury and a little more than a week since Kelvin Benjamin went down for the year, so understanding where the secondary wide receivers on each team were being drafted was important for those about to draft.
With so many real drafts having already taken place as well as a tight draft schedule for me, the Mock Draft Army was coming to a close for the season, but with the popularity of the episode and the numerous messages I received encouraging us to do it again, the Fantasy Alarm Podcast quartered the Army for one last on-air draft Thursday night. With the news of Tom Brady suspension being lifted, this was actually the perfect time to do it so that those who still needed to draft could see where he was going to start being taken.
Another big thanks to all who participated with a special shout-out to fantasy experts Doug Moore (Razzball) , Jason Walker (Draft Kings) and Brad Jerde (Fantasy Team Advice) for helping make the Army a thriving fantasy experience.

Here is also a link to the Draft Board for easy reference.
In addition to discussing where Brady should go, we also re-visited the ADP of Adams and Funchess, discussed the running back situation in Atlanta, some potential late-round steals, as well as the ongoing debate of when you should take a defense.
