… And the Fantasy Football Files Mock Draft rages on into yet another round here today. The teams are starting to come together, and it's going to be a battle each and every week, from the looks of things. Until T.O. gets suspended indefinitely and Larry Johnson blows out his knee, etc.

But for now, it's anyone's game. You've seen the picks from rounds one, two, three, four and five. Now let's get the show on the road and see how picks 51-60 overall went down in our continuing fantasy draft mockery.

Round Six. The Draft Order:

51. Jeff_Probst_wannabe
52. JamalLewisMustDie
53. Montana2Rice
54. The Deciders
55. Team Ecosystem
56. GoldGlove24
57. Employee001
58. the iForce
59. KissMyTightEnd
60. The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience

The Unedited Sixth Round:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jeff_Probst_wannabe]: Cedric who? I'll take Thomas Jones any day. Or at least on this day. The guy gets overlooked every year, and I just nabbed him out from under all of you. That's right, bitches, get ready for it.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: JamalLewisMustDie would rather die than select Jamal Lewis for a second consecutive year. But, JLMD is feeling some loyalty to the Ravens, and will henceforth sign Todd Heap to a one-year deal.

[Montana2Rice]: Feeling the need for a little Shock therapy, I'll keep the tight end trend going with Jeremy Shockey.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: Mine is better.

[Montana2Rice]: You will die alone.

[Employee001]: You bastard! You know I wanted Shockey!

[Montana2Rice]: I want to sleep with Beyonce tonight. Sometimes we have to get used to disappointment.

[The Deciders]: Alright, moving on. Some of us have work e-mail accounts, remember! Anyhoo, I've never heard of Lee Evans before right now, when I looked at his stats online. This guy is apparently really good! An on my fantasy team!

[Team Ecosystem]: I was going to take Al Gore, but since he is out promoting his new movie and not reporting to camp, I'll take the next best thing, Frank Gore.

[GoldGlove24]: Chris "day-to-day" Brown.

[Employee001]: No idea why I am picking a guy who is holding out and not looking like he's showing up to camp anytime soon. I might as well be taking Al Gore… but I will nonetheless take Deion Branch. If he shows up, he will catch the football many times, at least 10 of them in the end zone.

[the iForce]: As a proud secular Jew, I will extend an olive branch to the Islamic community with the selection of Muhsin Muhammad.

[KissMyTightEnd]: I select Marc Bulger. And I have no idea why.

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience]: In an effort to assemble the most upsidest team ever, I'll take Laurence Maroney.

We hope you've been enjoying our official Mock Draft, Fantasy Football Files staff style. It's been a wild ride, with some real surprises to go along with the predictable early going. You've seen the picks and witty remarks from round one. Then you saw the drama continue to unfold in round two. We even gave you the full rundown of round three. What's next? You guessed it.

38. the iForce
39. KissMyTightEnd
40. The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience

The Unedited Fourth Round:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jeff_Probst_wannabe]: Tom Brady. My respect for him as a player and my unrelenting man-love for him as a human being makes this a no-brainer.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: At least you're honest. JamalLewisMustDie will select the man the Colts wanted so bad they let the Edge walk. And I'm not talking about The Edge, as in the guitarist from U2 (left), whose given name, I believe, is David Evans. I am talking about star running back Edgerrin James. Who, come to think of it, I really wish I could take in this spot. But as he's no longer available, so I'll take Reggie Wayne.

[Montana2Rice]: Roy Williams. The receiver on Detroit, not the Cowboys safety. Just clearing that up.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: Thanks, jackass. Nice team name.

[Montana2Rice]: How many Super Bowls have you won, Jamal? Oh, snap!

[The Deciders]: You guys both suck. Really hard. You put Lindsay Lohan to shame. You know who won't suck at all this year, though? Corey Dillon.

[Team Ecosystem]: Santana Moss will be growing in this particular ecosystem come September.

[GoldGlove24]: Chris "Gas" Chambers.

[Employee001]: Ha, does that mean you are gonna execute him if he drops a pass in the end zone? Geez. Time for me to take the man with perhaps the oddest first name in sports, and that's saying a lot. Plaxico Burress. He may not be smart, but man can that guy run.

[the iForce]: Despite only carrying the ball six times a game coming into this year, I have high hopes that Tatum will ring the Bell of scoring (boo) many times this year.

[Employee001]: You are probably the least funny person on this planet.

[the iForce]: You are probably fired as of the end of the day.

[Employee001]: Well played.

[KissMyTightEnd]: Reuben Droughns… On and on and on…

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience]: Enough. I conclude this round with Javon Walker.

Yes, the commentary is petering out. But the Fantasy Football Files Mock Draft is still going, as our experts have now completed round three.

See how it all started in the good ol' days of the first round, then get the skinny on the second round. Below is the full rundown of the Files' fantasy draft's third round, beginning with the 21st overall pick. Watch with amusement as the The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience loads up on running backs and others load up on receiving threats. Which will pay off?

28. Montana2Rice
29. JamalLewisMustDie
30. Jeff_Probst_wannabe

And now, the Unedited Third Round:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience]: … the once future Texan (who plays for the Saints), Reggie Bush.

[KissMyTightEnd]: He hasn't run over a police officer in two years. I'll take Randy Moss.

[the iForce]: The other Brian - Westbrook.

[Employee001]: The temptation here is to pick the alliterative Julius Jones, but I must pass on him in favor of Pittsburgh's Willie Parker for three reasons:

1. I hate Dallas
2. Pittsburgh's run-heavy offense may become even more dependent upon
the ground game now that their QB's face is broken.
3. Imagine how many more goal line carries Parker may potentially
receive now that Jerome Bettis is gone. To say nothing of the extra food
during team dinners.

With the Bus parked for good and no longer a factor at the buffet line, Willie will get the extra nourishment he needs to build strength andbecome an elite back.

[GoldGlove24]: Julius Jones.

(72 hours later)

[Team Ecosystem]: Has it been my pick all this time? Apologies. I'll take director/actor/running back triple threat Kevin "Smith/Tommy Lee" Jones, who should see marked improvement in the new Lions system. Oh, who am I kidding? That team is still going to be terrible.

[The Deciders]: Torry Holt.

[Montana2Rice]: Anquan Boldin.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: Warrick Dunn.

[Jeff_Probst_wannabe]: Hines Ward.

With the Fantasy Football Files Mock Draft in full swing, our experts wasted no time getting down to business in round two. Actually, that's a complete lie. Plenty of time was wasted. Some of them actually have jobs that don't entail running fantasy football sites. Tragic.

See how it all began in the first round. Then see below for the rundown on the second round of the Files' official draft. The draft order, as is customary, is now reversed, with the lowly owner of the 10th overall pick, Jeff_Probst_wannabe, picking first — underscores and all.

The Draft Order:

11. Jeff_Probst_wannabe
12. JamalLewisMustDie
13. Montana2Rice
14. The Deciders
15. Team Ecosystem
16. GoldGlove24
17. Employee001
18. the iForce
19. KissMyTightEnd
20. The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience

And now, the Unedited Second Round:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Jeff_Probst_wannabe]: Jeff_Probst_wannabe starts out the 2nd round with Stephen [sic] Jackson. Always bet on black. And a team no longer led by Mike Martz.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: JamalLewisMustDie must now select who will take Jamal Lewis' role as colossal, overrated running back bust. It's too early to tell, but we feel Lamont Jordan is up to the task.

[Montana2Rice]: With Daunte Culpepper on the verge of being knee-less any day now - and Joey Harrington as Miami's reliable back-up - we're gonna assume the Dolphins run the ball a lot. Come on down, Ronnie Brown.

[The Deciders]: There's a round TWO? Steven Jackson - is that someone? I'll take him.

[Team Ecosystem]: Steven Jackson was already taken. Both Steven Segal (left) and Action Jackson are still around, though. Note: I will trade up for Action Jackson

[The Deciders]: My turn again? Carnell Williams

[Team Ecosystem]: As I am attempting to do my best Richenthal impression, I plan to grab as many Johnsons as I can today. Chad Johnson

[GoldGlove24]: Hard to pass up Willis McGahee with this pick - he's the best of a small core of remaining 1st teir [sic] RBs which includes Dominick Davis, Brian Westbrook, and Julius Jones. McGahee only scoring 5 TDs despite 1250 yards last year has to be considered an anomoly [sic] and that he'll bounce back.

[Employee001]: It is a great honor for Employee001 to bring back one of his favorite fantasy employees, Larry Fitzgerald, for a third consecutive season.

[the iForce]: Let's open the flood Gates of scoring, huh, gents? Antonio, it is.

[The Deciders]: (throwing up into shirt)

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience]: Throwing up into shirt? Sounds like something Chris Henry would do. Bit of a reach on that pick.

[The Deciders]: Marvin Harrison.

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience]: I will take the once and current Texan, Domanick Davis, and…

And now, the Unedited First Round:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience]: Let's take a look at the first overall picks from the past several years. Ladainian Tomlinson, obviously. Priest Holmes had a few solid years. Even my man so nice they first-named him twice, Shaun Alexander has been taken first. In leagues that value the QB, Peyton Manning goes first overall. And who could forget Boo Williams? (bit of a stretch, I know).

Anyway, to break with tradition of "first round picks with ridiculous names", I'm taking my man in Amsterdam, Mister Larry Johnson.

[KissMyTightEnd]: LJ? Have you taken a look at the Chiefs schedule? Tough matchups for him early on - especially "LJ vs. orthopetic surgeon" in week 4. I'll take LT.

[the iForce]: Oh no, I can't have Tomlinson and the defenses he'll face with a new quarterback, Philip Rivers, behind center? That's one "L" of a loss for my squad! Give me Shaun Alexander.

[KissMyTightEnd]: Alexander?! Figured you would pick the most metrosexual running back in football. What - Tiki's face isn't smooth enough for you?

[Employee001]: I choose Tiki Barber. And chat rooms for the next mock draft. And a dental plan.

[GoldGlove24]: If Tiki is gone, the #5 pick could be either the worst or best pick in the draft, depending upon your opinion of Edgerrin James in Arizona. Of course there will be a drop off in production, but if you don't think it will be much, James at #5 is a steal.

However, if you anticipate a more dramatic drop off, you now have to debate whether to take Rudi Johnson or Stephen Jackson too high, or risk Edgerrin James. This team is gonna take the leap with Edgerrin.

[Team Ecosystem]: Rudi Johnson. Why? Because Rudi Huxtable (left) doesn't have a solid O-line blocking for her. Also, because I think she's serving a four-game suspension to start the season. Possible late-round sleeper, though.

[The Deciders]: 7 picks, 60 minutes. Who are the ad wizards behind this one? I think Peyton - but am wary about picking a QB, because at this I may be able to get Brady Quinn in a late round. I'll start with Peyton.

[Montana2Rice]: Peyton Manning? He comes through in the clutch almost as often as I find original critiques of him. Clinton Portis, however? His teams never lose in the first round of the playoffs.

[KissMyTightEnd]: I thought this was about stats? I hate you.

[JamalLewisMustDie]: Last year, around this time, I picked Jamal Lewis. We all know how that worked out.

The safe route would be for JamalLewisMustDie to select the best running back available with this, the 9th overall selection, but I am going to ignore conventional wisdom the way Richenthal would a third base coach in softball — in other words, making a thoroughly awful, selfish decision that adversely impacts the whole team.

I pick Terrell Owens.

[The Jackie Joyner Kersey Experience] Jamal Lewis is still available? Trade up, TJJKE, trade up!

[The Deciders] Jackie Joyner Exp - are you in NYC? Want to go halfsies on an escort in between rounds?

[Jeff_Probst_wannabe] J_P_w selects MVSmith with the last pick of the 1st round. If you don't know why and/or think this was a reach, you clearly don't watch fooball.

[Team Ecosystem] Luke wins the "Fake Draft/Fake Players" award. Who is MV Smith? I know you're not trying to combine MVP with Steve Smith. You should instead try to combine 7 to 8 additional inches to Steve Smith.
