On Friday, March 27th, CollegeFootballGeek.com’s Todd DeVries and The Dawgfather joined eight loyal Geek readers in a “Way Too Early” college fantasy football mock draft.

Which players slipped down the draft boards?  Who was taken too early? 

We kept a diary of what went down.

Spring has sprung. College football camps are in full swing across the country.  What does that mean?

It means it’s time to start reshaping our draft boards.  What better way to kick things off than with a “Way Too Early” mock draft? 

Stay tuned for The Geek’s Mock Draft - Version 1.0, COMING SOON….

With spring practices kicking off over the next few weeks, we will embark on a journey to explore the 20 Burning Questions heading into the 2009 college fantasy football season.  Some questions will be answered in spring ball, but the Fantasy Gods will undoubtedly ensure several key mysteries linger deep into August…..or (gulp) September.

We’ll begin the feature with Question #20 on Friday.

TE James Casey, Rice
What?  A tight end for MVP?  Well, if you are a believer in Value Based Drafting, this one is a no-brainer.  In most scoring systems, Casey outscored the #2 fantasy tight end by over 100 points, and the #10 TE by nearly 200 pts.  He scored more fantasy points than any RB or WR in the country.  If you had Casey in a league requiring a Tight End, you probably faired very well.

With a new year comes a new fantasy football draft to prepare for. The Dawgfather wants to help all of you avoid some of the pitfalls that even the great ones like myself can find ourselves in. So much time passes from the end of the season to the next draft, that we tend to forget about how a guy played. Summer hype about a player becomes our obsession and it can lead to dangerous draft result. The Dawgfather even fell prey to the Ryan McCants hype. So to help avoid this problem I have made a board of the top returning underclassmen players at QB, RB, WR, and TE.

The National Football League has announced the names of 46 players who have been granted special eligibility for the 2009 NFL Draft. Each of the 46 players has met the league’s three-year eligibility rule and each has submitted a written application in which he renounced his remaining college football eligibility. 

There are more than a few players here that will leave gaping holes in the college fantasy landscape, including Pitt’s star RB LeSean McCoy (pictured, Damian Strohmeyer/SI).

By our count, there have been twenty-one head coaching changes in major college footbal for 2009.  When your fantasy draft rolls around next August, you’ll need to be mindful of how these new coaches could change the offensive mindset of their new team. 

One coach to keep an eye on is Kansas State’s Bill Snyder.  He was the architect of one of the most successful rebuilding projects in collegiate history.  Snyder produced fantasy star quarterbacks such as Michael Bishop and Ell Roberson.  With Josh Freeman off to the NFL, it will be interesting to see who Snyder tabs as his signal caller in Manhattan.
