Mock Draft End Date: Tuesday, August 19th
Four of our site's contributors — Kevin Hanson, Brendan Donahue, Sean Beazley and Dan Yanotchko — will make picks for three teams of this 12-team mock. The mock will go 12 rounds with no kickers or team defenses selected.
Although this is a slow draft, we will post picks as they occur, along with comments from Kevin Hanson, as opposed to waiting for the entire mock draft to be completed.
More Rounds: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | Teams
Here are Round 11 results:
11.01 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver Broncos
Sean corners the market in Denver backup running backs with Anderson and Hillman in back-to-back picks. Hillman has been the team's No. 2 running back in camp and has been received positive reviews from running backs coach Eric Studesville. Studeville recently said of Hillman: "From when we started this spring in April forward, he has been unbelievable. He's a completely different guy in the best possible way and I'm just excited about what he's doing, how he's approaching it, how he's making plays on the field."
11.02 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Hakeem Nicks, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Once again, Nicks finds himself in a contract year. Without question, Nicks had to be disappointed with the financial terms offered to him in free agency as he settled for a one-year deal with the Colts.
We have seen WR1-type production from Nicks back in 2010 and 2011. But he's been a big disappointment over the past two seasons. Nicks should be motivated for his next contract, if for nothing else, but it's difficult to trust Nicks, who is behind both Hilton and Wayne on the depth chart. As the WR50 in this mock, he's certainly worth the gamble that finds his 2011 form at some point in the future.
11.03 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): Bryce Brown, RB, Buffalo Bills

Brown has game-breaking speed and gave fantasy owners a glimpse of what's possible when he rushed for 347 yards and four TDs in a two-game stretch as a rookie in 2012. (Of course, he also lost three fumbles in those two games as well.)
11.04 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Injuries slowed Lee last season at USC compared to his Biletnikoff-winning campaign as a sophomore in 2012. Long term, Lee is going to be a movable chess piece in the Jaguars offense as the team makes a concerted effort to get him the ball in space. Even though the Jags seem intent on keeping Blake Bortles on the bench, the No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft has shown early signs of his potential.
11.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati Bengals
As a rookie, Eifert finished with 39 catches for 445 yards and two touchdowns. Eifert should see his numbers rise in his second year, but it may not be until 2015 that he has an opportunity to take a bigger step forward as Jermaine Gresham is entering the final year of his rookie contract. That said, the loss of Marvin Jones for at least the beginning of the season could create additional opporutnities for Eifert this season as well.
11.06 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): Ka'Deem Carey, RB, Chicago Bears
Some had Carey ranked as the top running back coming into the draft, but Shaun Draughn has been ahead of Carey on the depth chart behind Matt Forte. Carey has averaged less than three yards per carry (2.74) through three preseason games.
11.07 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Isaiah Crowell, RB, Cleveland Browns
With significant character concerns that got him kicked out of the Georgia Bulldogs program, Crowell also possesses plenty of talent as a former five-star recruit. He seems to be really buried on the Browns running back depth chart, but eventually his talent could allow him to earn a significant role down the line provided he stays out of trouble.
11.08 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers
In the past two seasons, Olsen has 142 receptions for 1,659 yards and 11 touchdowns. While he lacks the upside of some tight ends, he's extemely safe and should be a lock for 70/800/5 or better.
11.09 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys
One season after throwing for 4,903 yards, Romo threw for only 3,828 yards with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season. With an atrocious defense that is even worse than last season, Romo and the Cowboys should be involved in plenty of shootouts.
11.10 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears

Not only does Cutler have one of the league's most talented groups of pass catchers, but the Bears return all 11 offensive starters. In addition, this will be one of the few times that Cutler has been in the same system for more than one year.
11.11 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Oakland Raiders
Once a potential first-overall pick (and perhaps still by MJD himself) in fantasy drafts, Jones-Drew heads to the Bay Area to play professional football where he grew up. Only a few years removed from a league-high 1,606 rushing yards (in 2011), MJD rushed for a career-low 3.4 yards per carry last season. Pocket Hercules turned 29 in March, however, and his 2,139 career touches could begin to take its toll. At this point, however, as the RB51, MJD provides some depth.
11.12 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): Danny Amendola, WR, New England Patriots
While Amendola had a few big games including the season opener last year (10/104 vs. BUF), the biggest concern with Amendola has been his durability.
