    The ESPN Fantasy Football draft kit will be released soon, and with it you'll find the results of our first 2010 mock draft, which was held Monday afternoon. In advance of what should be an awesome kit, here are a few thoughts on players I chose in this mock. I really like this team, and I would definitely copy this strategy in future drafts.
    Cedric Benson, RB, Cincinnati Bengals: I was able to draft three of our top 10-caliber running backs with my first three picks, each ahead of where I have them ranked overall. While I'm not the biggest Benson fan, and he just misses my top 10, this remains a player who is going to get many chances to run the ball this season. I considered him a steal with the 24th pick. Last season Benson was very productive, ending up as the No. 15 running back despite missing three full games. With Ray Rice and Ryan Grant already on this team, Benson at flex seemed a no-brainer.
    <OFFER>Dwayne Bowe, WR, Kansas City Chiefs: Similarly, each of the first three wide receivers I chose, in Rounds 4, 5 and 6, were available about a round later than I thought they'd go. Maybe I just view Sidney Rice, Anquan Boldin and Bowe differently than others do. Bowe was terrific in 2008, catching 86 passes for 1,022 yards, and considering that he missed four games with a suspension last season, I would say he was on his way to similar numbers. I believed in Matt Cassel at this time a year ago, and even though he didn't produce big numbers and I've since backed off expectations for the quarterback, it hardly means Bowe can't reprise a 1,000-yard season with at least seven touchdowns. Frankly, I debated Bowe over Boldin. To get them both was nice.

    <CITE>Matt Stamey/US Presswire</CITE>Brett Favre still has plenty in the tank, provided he actually plays this season.

    Brett Favre, QB, Minnesota Vikings: C'mon, do you really think this guy is going to retire? I don't mean this season, but ever? He'll have to be dragged away. Favre had surgery on his left ankle, which wouldn't have been necessary if he was leaving the game. I expect some statistical regression from Favre, who finished up the No. 3 quarterback for standard leagues in 2009, but not so much that he should still be available in Round 8. That's right, the old man beat out Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Matt Schaub, every quarterback except Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. However, this mock played out just how I thought it would for quarterbacks: Three went in Round 2, three more in Round 4, Philip Rivers in Round 5 and then the three teams that didn't have a quarterback -- I'm always one of them -- waited. I finally chose Favre with the 77th pick. I love the pick. I plan on utilizing this strategy in future drafts that do count as well.
    Justin Forsett, RB, Seattle Seahawks: I needed running back depth by Round 10, and was a bit surprised to see Forsett still out there. Some people really like him, others think he's too undersized to ever matter. I'm in both camps. The fact is opportunity is obviously there now that LenDale White is unemployed. I could see the Seahawks bringing in a Marshawn Lynch type, but that's fine, because I think Forsett will make his bones catching the ball. New coach Pete Carroll had a pretty decent change-of-pace running back at USC, didn't he? Even assuming someone other than Forsett gets more carries, he seems a better draft-day value than oft-injured Reggie Bush.
    Donovan McNabb, QB, Washington Redskins: It was Round 13 and Kevin Kolb, whom I rank one spot better than McNabb, had just gone off the board. A few teams still needed backups. My starter, technically, could take his Wranglers and still walk away. How is McNabb still on the board? I really wanted to take Ben Roethlisberger, especially in light of my positive blog about him last week, but the fact is, if Favre is your starter, McNabb is safer as a backup. Between him, Favre and Roethlisberger, McNabb is the only one I'm certain will be on the field the first month. Roethlisberger, incidentally, was the very next pick. In future drafts I'm guessing I'll end up with Roethlisberger, as it seems to me there isn't much anti-McNabb sentiment.
