2018 Mock Rookie Draft - Version IV (Preview)
John Holler - 4/24/2018

OVERVIEW: Over the last several years, trading in the first round, especially for quarterbacks, has become the new normal – to the point that when you try to project a mock draft, you feel almost beholden to give credence to the possibility that a team is going to trade up to get one of the quarterbacks who is coveted as the potential next face of the franchise. We could see four quarterbacks go in the first five picks – for better or worse – and even we have succumbed to the temptation to predict a blockbuster trade and what the results would be for the Giants.

Testimonials

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
